Player Setup

Help your players install the correct modpack so they can join your server without mod mismatch errors.

Why is this important?

When running a modded server, all players need to have the exact same mods and versions installed on their computer. If there's a mismatch, they'll get a "mod mismatch" or "connection lost" error when trying to join.

Using the Player Setup Page

  1. Open Player Setup

    In your server dashboard, click Player Setup in the left sidebar under Management.

  2. View Your Modpack Info

    The page will show which modpack is installed on your server, including:

    • Modpack name and icon
    • Minecraft version
    • Mod loader (Forge, Fabric, NeoForge)
    • Direct link to the modpack page
  3. Share with Your Players

    You have two easy options:

    • Copy the link - Click "Copy Link" and send the modpack URL to your players
    • Copy the message - Use the pre-written message at the bottom of the page

How Players Install the Modpack

Once your players have the modpack link, they can install it using one of these launchers:

CurseForge App (Recommended)

  1. Download and install CurseForge App
  2. Click the modpack link you shared
  3. Click "Install" on the modpack page
  4. Once installed, click "Play" to launch
  5. Add your server IP in Multiplayer and connect!

Prism Launcher

  1. Download and install Prism Launcher
  2. Click "Add Instance" → "CurseForge" or "Modrinth"
  3. Search for the modpack name
  4. Select the same version as your server
  5. Install and launch, then add your server

Modrinth App

  1. Download and install Modrinth App
  2. Click the modpack link (if it's a Modrinth modpack)
  3. Click "Install"
  4. Launch and add your server IP
Version Must Match!

Make sure your players download the exact same version of the modpack that's installed on your server. Different versions = can't connect.
