This helped me a lot, this is a amazaing turtorial everything in it work perfectly and everything made sense

[@christivnherrerv]

If anyone else had the same issue i had where the Forge installer from the modpack i got would not work no matter what i did - the solution is to download the same version of that installer from the Forge website directly. The Forge team had to patch the installers in late February because Mojang changed some important stuff. Took me an hour to figure this out, hope it saves some of you some time haha

[@elempygamer8467]

wow this is amazing. im going to do this right now!!! also, your voice is so nicee!! i would say the recording is a bit quite thought, ill update after i do the server, wish me luck

[@lorenzotorre1642]

Whenever i try to do the manual installation and run the installer, i just install the libraries, the forge version and the forge server. Just to be clear, i was trying to create a 1.12.2 server with a custom modpack that i made.

[@Moddedgameryt-rb4ti]

when i got to click the installer right after i move it to folder (manual) it doesnt open the forge installer thing? im having trouble trying to fix it

how about for when you make your own modpack

[@Jamracer08]

on the manual setup after i run the forge installer I do not get a "start.bat" , "defaultconfigs" , "start.bat" and "user_jvm_args.txt" do you know what the problem is?

[@zCiiRCaHD]

Thank you for the tutorial, it helps me a lot! I only have one problem, how can i invite someone to play on my server? And what's the address of it? thanks

and what if it doesnt show the instal file or the eula? modpack in question is horror cave project

[@randenins]

Does this work for an iMac computer?

[@TheMikedomann]

Fun protip for all the dudes who want a custom modpack server with like 50+ mods. Don't download all of them individually, playtest and troubleshoot a singleplayer modpack through curseforge, follow this guy's server installation instructions with the same version of forge your modpack shows, and then just "open folder" on your modpack, and drag the mods into the server's mods folder (the run.bat file needs to be ran once before that folder will appear)

[@PsyvexOfficial]

This is definitely recommended. I meant to showcase that more in the video but I didn’t want to overload too much information

[@Kumothemainecoon]

I can't find run.bat I did everything you told me but it isn't there

[@that_ducksuck]

Amazing. I only really needed the server pack from curseforge (i didn't know you could download them) so it was the only thing i needed and it worked out, thanks. Now i can torture my friends for no reason other than pure enjoyment:)

[@neolundgren8203]

I noticed that with some modpacks the eula is created after you run server starter and while its running it will tell you to allow the eula or something like that and then you just have to changed the value to true like you showed

[@SteveWray]

I took an existing modpack (Better MC) and added some mods to it. I have a save and would like to create a server for the same modified modpack to run the same world. The download server pack button gets the original, unmodified, modpack and doesn't load my saved world. I've tried simply adding the mods (apart from client side mods) to the uncompressed server pack, but it still has some issues. Do you have any advice on how to proceed? Thanks

[@DenizSeker_DS]

If you only want the modified version of your world to be in the server, you can copy your world file from your Curseforge modpack files (of the modified Better MC) and paste it to the world file of the server. It worked for me!

​@@DenizSeker_DS Where do you find the files/folder for this? Thank you.

@@bleakautomaton4808 If you are using Curseforge, after clicking on your modpack profile there should be like an options menu in which you can find the Modpack Files option. This should take you to the file directory :)
