Problems Solved for Modded Minecraft Servers

Crashes from big modpacks

16GB of fast DDR5 RAM gives your server enough memory to run packs like RLCraft, All the Mods 9, and FTB Infinity smoothly.

Difficult mod setup

Install any CurseForge modpack with a single click using its URL, no downloading files or moving folders around.

Lag when your world gets busy

You get full CPU performance with no artificial limits, so automation, custom dimensions, and large builds keep running smoothly.

Server struggling to keep up

Powered by AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D processors, your server stays stable even during heavy chunk loading and mob-filled areas.

Keeping mods up to date

Turn on automatic updates if you want the latest versions, or lock your mod versions to avoid compatibility issues.

Running out of storage

Start with 30GB of fast NVMe SSD storage, with the option to upgrade to 60GB if your modpack needs more space.

Getting started

DatHost's Modding Process

DatHost removes the technical barriers from modding with a fast, intuitive setup process.

  1. 1
    Choose Your Mod Platform

    Choose the server type that works best for your modpack, including Forge, Fabric, NeoForge, and PaperMC. Just pick the one you want in the control panel, click install, and we take care of the rest. No command line or technical setup needed.

  2. 2
    Install Mod Packs Instantly

    Just paste the URL for any CurseForge modpack into the control panel, and it downloads the files, installs everything you need, and sets it up automatically, so you don't have to deal with manual downloads or missing dependencies.

  3. 3
    Upload Custom Mods

    Add individual mods or plugins through the file manager. Upload .jar files directly or use the CurseForge URL installer for verified community mods.

  4. 4
    Configure and Launch

    Adjust server properties through the intuitive interface, set mod parameters, allocate resources, and launch without manually editing config files.

Best practices

Best Practices for Modded Server Performance

Test new dimensions before inviting players

Mods that add extra dimensions can put strain on your server. Generate them first to catch any issues early.

Create a backup before adding new mods

If something breaks or two mods don't work well together, you can quickly roll your server back to a working version.

Keep your mod versions consistent

If you've got a modpack that's running well, it's usually best to turn off automatic updates so everything stays compatible.

Keep an eye on performance

Large automation systems, farms, and complex modded machines can put extra load on your server. Check the control panel from time to time to make sure everything is running smoothly.
