what am I doing wrong?

#

I'm trying to load up my modpack
my server didnt come with a mods folder so i added one myself

#

nothing changed

#

i tried replacing all the files with forge server files
nothing changed either

#

I am launching it from curseforge, could that be cause?

According to that log, the server is running PaperMc, not anything modded.

If its a popular pre-existing modpack, try installing it through the Jar Menu.

If its a custom pack, check out this article for installing the right modloader and uploading the modpack files.

This server is running Paper

This log is still not from a modpack.

weary summit
#

should I get the latest log from the control panel or from the modpack folder?

spare warren
#

From the logs folder on the server.

At the top of that custommodpack article are links on how to install a modloader, forge/fabric. Make sure you're doing that first before adding your mods/config files.

i'm trying to start the server now as a test after switching from papermc to forge
do these usually take long this long?

#

it's been at 49% for 30 minutes now

#

the custom modpack that i have has 67 mods if that helps

As long as it keeps pumping out lines and that number goes up, it just means something in the pack makes world generation super slow.

#

Running a Spark report while running world generation would help to narrow down what.

Spark
How to provide a Spark sampler.

  1. Stop your server.
  2. Download Spark: https://modrinth.com/mod/spark/versions
  3. Upload the mod to your server:
    Filemanager > mods (for modded servers)
    or Filemanager > plugins (for plugin based servers)
    (Just drag & drop the file)
  4. Start the server.
  5. Use the command /spark sampler
  6. Wait 10-15 minutes.
  7. Use the command /spark sampler --stop

Minecraft 1.14 onwards, generating chunks can be very resource-intensive and cause a lot of lag for players with forge installed, we recommend installing a mod on the server called World Pregenerator (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/world-pre-generator). Using this mod with the right commands will enable your server to perform better over time as more chunks are created.

The mod is only required to be installed server-side. To install it, upload it to your server's mods folder and restart your server.

Please run the following commands to start the world generation while players are offline:

/pregen gen minecraft:overworld start 0 0 500

The above commands will generate everything within an 8000 block radius of spawn in the overworld. You can run this command for each world you want to pregenerate.

Please note that you will experience lag while this happens, so try to run it while people are not on :)

should i try removing some mods?

signal glade
#

or throw money at it and get more ram.

#

is this a custom mod pack, ie not one that is premade?

weary summit
#

yep

signal glade
#

excellent

#

so use server pack creator to make a server from the mod pack you built on your pc, and test it locally before uploading it to bh.

#

there is a wiki if you find it confusing.

#

you can watch in your task manager how much ram your server is using.

#

and then decide from there if you want to increase the ram of the server at bh, or if you should remove a ton of mods from your pack.

weary summit
#

alright thank you

signal glade
#

how many mods are in the pack?

#

the latest.log doesn't say

#

do note that a modded server, no matter what, requires a 4GB server

#

and typically never more than 10GB

weary summit
#

around 57 mods

signal glade
#

what size server?

#

I feel like you're trying to do this on the 1 or 2GB plan

#

Minecraft as of 1.14+ requires 2GB for itself.

weary summit
#

i am yeah-
it's just for me and my friend group of 5

signal glade
#

you need 4GB

#

upgrade to 4GB and most of these issues will vanish.

weary summit
#

i'll try that rn

weary summit
#

it worked thank you

#

i'm weeping in joy while my wallet is weeping in despair

weary summit
#

#

signal glade
#

change the title of the post at the top to have [solved] in it

#

or just leave it alone and if you have more issues post in the bottom of it.
