Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/2299

What game server would you like adding?

Feed the Beast provides many Modpacks for minecraft with forge. Would be nice to have it in lgsm. You can read here more about it: https://ftb.gamepedia.com/FTB_Wiki
List of possible Packs https://www.feed-the-beast.com/modpacks

Can you link to any tutorials or guides?

Provide any useful documentation or resources that might help.

Is the server on Steam?

Is the server supported on Linux?

We only support Linux servers and do not support Wine.
since minecraft is java based its fully compatible.

Good point. I don't how much the packs differ because they are named close at the same to feet the beast

You don't need a extra game server or function for that, just download minecraft server and replace all the vanilla files with modpack files, then assign more ram because it's a modpack.

Here's a 3 minute tutorial how to make server for any modpack:

That tutorial isn't for LGSM, which has some particular things you have to do to set up a server. It would be really nice to have the process automated

It also doesn't use the CurseForge server download, for some reason it's just copying the single player files? There's sometimes a difference.

I would like to push this request as i have the same one.
Sure you can do it manually but updating everything manually is a pain. It would be great if the update command would get the latest updates from the FTB Modpack itself.

It's not done yet, but here's the guide for the new FTB server installers: https://faq.ftb.world/books/ftb-app/page/downloading-server-installerfiles

I'm having some issues with the Omnia installer so I'm going to see if I can get that worked out.

THIS PLEASE!!! I have been struggling all day to get a modded Minecraft server to work with GSM.

One note I do have: Use CurseForge. This includes modpacks from Tekkit and FTB. It's the most widely used modpack service atm. https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks

What i did to get it running was downloading the Linux server tool from modpacks.ch (Its not modpack specific as you can search for packs with it)
https://api.modpacks.ch/public/modpack/35/37/server/linux

It seems like every mayor Modpack is available there.

Install a normal Minecraft server with LinuxGSM -> Insert the file into Serverfiles and execute it.

After choosing your modpack it will install automatically.
Then you just have to edit your:
lgsm/config-lgsm/mcserver/common.cfg

and insert:
executable="java -server -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -Xmx8192M -Xms6124M -jar ${serverfiles}/forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2846-universal.jar"

(You can change the ram here if needed. Additionaly you might have to rename the forge.jar file.)

Now you can use your Modpack server with linuxGSM

PS: If starting your Minecraft Server with linuxGSM fails, you probably have JAVA9 installed. You need to use Java8 for the Modded server to run as 9 is NOT supportet.

So what I have been doing is launching linuxGSM getting the files then just replacing all files in /serverfiles with files I generated on my PC for my modpack.

But it doesnt start I just get "[ FAIL ] Starting mcserver: Unable to start server" message. Is this because I need Java 8? and if so how do I downgrade to java 8 and use it instead of java 9.

To install java 8 run this:
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-8-jre

To select it for system to use type this:
sudo update-alternatives --config java

and type the number of line that has java-8 in it.

You wouldn't have to do anything to support individual Modpacks: I think CurseForge would require some kind of agreement with Overwolf but the FTB packs can all be downloaded with that standard script.

If anything support for Modpacks zips would be nice
