How to Host a Forever Stranded Server
Hosting Forever Stranded cleanly is less about some hidden command and more about doing the obvious things in the right order: a real multiplayer RAM floor, a proper modpack flow, a clean first boot and backups before anything risky.
Start with 8 GB for a real multiplayer server — well above the bare 3-4 GB figure some guides quote for a single player.
Use a proper modpack import flow instead of guessing from a client export.
Watch the first boot logs until the server finishes loading and the desert-survival starter world generates cleanly.
Invite players only after the first clean startup.
Take a backup before world imports, Forge updates or config changes — surviving the desert from scratch again is a real setback.

CoalHost is built around modpack hosting, which makes Forever Stranded much less annoying to launch correctly.
