Players install the same pack and version in their launcher. The Endercloud Game Panel has its own **Modpacks** tab with packs from **Modrinth** and **CurseForge**. Pick a pack, install it and start the server. Then every player installs the **same pack and version** on their own game. ## Before you start > **Warning:** > Installing a modpack **replaces your server files**. Create a backup in **Backups** first and download it if your current world matters. See [How to create and restore backups](/docs/how-to-create-and-restore-backups). - **RAM:** modpacks are heavy. Small packs run on mid-size plans; big packs with hundreds of mods need a lot more memory. Check the pack page for its recommended server RAM and see [How much RAM do I need?](/docs/how-much-ram-do-i-need-for-my-minecraft-server) You can upgrade any time with **Upgrade Plan** in billing. - **Disk:** the pack, the world and your backups all share your plan's disk. ## Install from the Modpacks tab 1. Open your server at [panel.endercloud.in](https://panel.endercloud.in), click **Stop**, and make a backup. 2. Click **Modpacks** (under MANAGEMENT). 3. Choose the **Provider**: **Modrinth** or **CurseForge**. 4. Narrow the list with **Loader** (Fabric, Forge, NeoForge or Quilt), **Version** (Minecraft version) and **Sort**, or search for the pack by name. 5. Click **Details** to check the pack, its Minecraft version and its pack version. Write the pack version down: your players need exactly this one. 6. Click **Install** and follow the progress. Large packs can take several minutes. 7. Click **Start** and watch the **Console**. If the **Accept Minecraft® EULA** popup appears, click **I ACCEPT**. The first start of a modded server is slow while it builds the world, so give it a few minutes. Remember the whitelist: if it is on, add players with `whitelist add Name` in the Console. See [Whitelist, op and ban players](/docs/whitelist-op-and-ban-players). ## How players install the same pack Players can't join with vanilla Minecraft. Each player installs the pack in a launcher that supports modpacks, using the same version as your server: - **CurseForge app** for CurseForge packs: install the pack, then pick the matching version from its versions list. - **Modrinth App** for Modrinth packs. - **Prism Launcher**: free, works with both CurseForge and Modrinth packs. Then they launch the pack and join with your server address. Give the launcher enough memory (most packs list a recommended amount) or the game may freeze. ## Alternative: upload a server pack yourself If a pack is not in the Modpacks tab, or you need a custom version: 1. On the pack's page, download the **server pack** (server files), not the normal client download. It leaves out client-only mods that would crash a server. 2. Check which loader and loader version the pack uses. In the **Versions** tab, install that loader (Forge, NeoForge, Fabric or Quilt) for the same Minecraft version. 3. In **Files**, click **Upload** → **Upload Files**, upload the server pack `.zip` and unarchive it. Move its folders (such as `mods` and `config`) into the main server folder, replacing the existing ones. 4. Ignore the pack's `start.sh` or `start.bat`. The panel starts your server for you. 5. Start the server and check the **Console**. If an older pack needs a specific Java version, see [How to change your Java version](/docs/how-to-change-your-minecraft-servers-java-version). ## Frequently asked questions **Q: Players get a "mismatched mods" or missing mods error** Their pack version differs from the server's. Make sure everyone uses exactly the same pack version. More fixes: [Mod mismatch and missing mods errors](/docs/mod-mismatch-and-missing-mods-errors). **Q: Can I add extra mods to a modpack?** Yes. Add them from **Mods → Browse Mods** (same loader and Minecraft version) and give players the same mods. **Q: How do I go back to my old world?** Restore the backup you made before installing. Without a backup, the old files cannot be brought back. Still stuck? [Open a ticket](https://billing.endercloud.in/tickets/create) with the pack name and version.
