🛠️ Install a Neoforge Server on Crafty

Visit the modpack's page (usually on CurseForge or Modrinth) download the server version ZIP.

Extract it to a clean folder.

Locate the run.bat and double-click it to generate necessary files.

Zip up all contents of the folder again.

Open Crafty and go to the server management panel. Click Create New Server. Under Upload Zip File for Server Import, enter your server name and upload the zipped pack you created earlier.

Once uploaded, set the root directory (usually the top-level folder).

Define the server executable path using the following, replacing *VERSION NUMBER* with your Neoforge version:

libraries/net/neoforged/neoforge/*VERSION NUMBER*/neoforge-*VERSION NUMBER*-server.jar

Set minimum memory to 8G and maximum to 14G, depending on your server specs. Then, in the Config tab, update the Server Execution Command. Keep the Java memory flags and replace the rest with:

@libraries/net/neoforged/neoforge/*VERSION NUMBER*/unix_args.txt nogui

Click Save, then Start the server. Make sure to accept the EULA if prompted. Your Neoforge server should now be up and running! 🎉

For a more polished appearance, edit your server.properties file and generate a custom MOTD using motd.gg.

Then insert this into the server.properties file that you opened with the Crafty file browser.

Here's an example of a custom MOTD format that you can copy and modify as per your server's theme:

§6Cozii§9Server §f|| §7Techopolis§4 3§r\n§cTo Tech and beyond... §8I think, right?

Make sure to edit the message to suit your server's vibe and branding!
