Before Starting

Since this is a large modpack for Minecraft 1.19.2 you will require 6 GB of RAM at minimum on your server. You can start with our MC-3 plan and upgrade later if required.

Installation (server-side)

• Head to the official curseforge page by clicking here.

• Scroll down until you see the server packs on the right side menu, which in this example is named "Minecraft 1.19 Server Packs".

• Click on the latest available release (BMC3 FORGE 1.19.2 Server Pack v17), this will bring you to the file menu, then click on "Download".

• Wait for the download to finish, then locate the file in your computer and extract it to a new folder.

• You will find these two files inside the folder, if you're using Windows you'll need to right-click on 'start.ps1' and select 'Execute with PowerShell', as this will download the exact Forge version needed for this modpack.
• After the Forge files have been downloaded, you can opt to delete or ignore both 'start.ps1' and 'start.sh' files, as they won't be needed anymore.

You will now need to upload all the folder content to your server, for this, you can use the SFTP details (located on the Settings tab of the game panel) with a program like Filezilla, here's a guide on how to connect to your server through SFTP.

• Open Filezilla (or any other SFTP program) and access your server files using your SFTP Details.

(We suggest deleting all files on the server before proceeding to avoid conflict within files, make a backup first if you don't wish to permanently lose any files).

• Locate the folder where you previously extracted the files and upload the folder content to your server, you can drag and drop the files into the server.
• All files will start being uploaded to the server, wait for this process to complete.

Once this has been done for you, you will be able to start your server on the game panel. The first boot-up should only take a few minutes, you will be able to join after it fully loads.

Installation (client-side)

Now that your server is up and running, any player wishing to join will first need to download the modpack on their end through the curseforge app.

• Open the curseforge app, if you don't have it you can download it here.
• In the search bar, type Better MC and press the Enter key, two versions will show up (Forge and Fabric), for this tutorial, we're using the Forge version.
