Do You Support X Modpack?

We try to support as many modpacks as possible. Our Depot installer can download modpacks directly from CurseForge and Modrinth in a single click, no manual downloading, unzipping, or file uploads required.

Shopping for hosting built around modpacks? See our modded Minecraft server hosting page for one-click installs and plan details.

The best way to check if a modpack works with the Depot is to look for a server pack. A server pack is a stripped-down version of the modpack that includes only the mods needed to run the server, with client-only mods (like resource pack loaders, shader support, and UI mods) already removed. Most actively maintained modpacks on CurseForge and Modrinth publish one alongside the regular pack.

  • If a server pack exists, the Depot can install it directly. Search for the modpack in the Depot, and if it shows up, you’re good to go.
  • If a server pack does not exist, you have two options:
    1. Choose a different modpack that does have one, if you’re flexible about which pack you play.
    2. Build your own server pack. Download the full modpack, remove every client-only mod, and package the rest into a mods.zip file. See creating a custom modpack for how to tell client and server mods apart.

Why Some Modpacks Don’t Have a Server Pack

Section titled “Why Some Modpacks Don’t Have a Server Pack”

Not every modpack author publishes one. This is most common with:

  • Small or newly published modpacks that haven’t been updated in a while
  • Very old modpacks that predate server packs becoming a common practice

If your favorite modpack falls into one of these categories, building your own server pack is usually quick, especially for smaller packs with only a handful of client-only mods to remove.

If the server crashes or gets stuck in a restart loop

Section titled “If the server crashes or gets stuck in a restart loop”

The Depot downloads the CurseForge or Modrinth pack even when the author hasn’t published a dedicated server pack. When that happens, client-only mods stay in the mods folder and can cause the server to crash immediately on startup or loop without naming a specific culprit.

Check logs/latest.log for net/minecraft/client/ or ItemPropertyFunction. Both errors mean a client-only mod is installed on the server. Tracking down and removing client mods one by one isn’t covered by standard support, so we recommend picking a modpack that publishes an official server pack.
