How to Host a Create Evolution - With Quests! Server

Start with 6 GB of RAM as your floor, not a guess — that's the pack's own recommended allocation for Forge 1.20.1 with 35+ Create addons loaded alongside the base mod stack, and it's where the server stays stable once trains and automation chains start running.

Import the modpack directly from its CurseForge file instead of trying to reconstruct it from a client export — a clean import keeps the quest book, every addon (Create Crafts & Additions, Create Enchantment Industry, Create: Dreams & Desires, and the rest) and their configs in sync with what players download locally.

Watch the console through first boot until world generation and mod setup finish cleanly — with 35+ Create addons registering blocks, recipes, and schematics at once, a quiet console with no repeating errors is the real signal the pack is ready, not just the server reaching 'Done'.

Only invite players once that first boot has completed without errors — joining mid-setup on a pack this mod-dense is how players end up with missing recipes or a quest book that hasn't fully initialized.

Take a backup before importing an existing world, updating any addon, or changing a config — this pack's progression is built around chaining 35+ addons into working contraptions and train lines, and a bad update can break recipes or structures across an entire automated factory in one restart.
