How to Install Modpacks on Your Minecraft Server

Head into the unarchived folder, select all the files, and create an archive of all the files you need to import (click the three dots -> “Archive”).

Next, move the archive into the main folder. This can be done by pressing the “Move” button and clicking the “Arrow” button, which adds a ../ behind the name of the file (e.g ../archive.tar.gz). This will move the file one folder up.

Finally, press the “Unarchive” button. This will extract the files into the main folder.

This normally means that the archive (.zip file) may have been corrupted during upload, or during when you downloaded the archive. Re-upload the archive to the server again, and see if that resolves it - if not, download the server modpack archive again from the modpack site.

Follow the same steps as mentioned, but upload your own archive to the server. Normally you may want to package the archive with the mod files, and the configuration files you’ve changed that are different from the default files that ship with Forge.

If you aren’t able to find any specific Forge version in the modpack’s readme file, nor on the modpacks’ webpage, leave the “Forge Version” field empty.

Instead, enter a version in the “Minecraft Version” field with the Minecraft version of the modpack (e.g 1.16.5, 1.12.2, etc). This will install the latest recommended available build.
