How to Host a SkyFactory 5 Server
Hosting SkyFactory 5 cleanly is less about some hidden command and more about doing the obvious things in the right order: enough RAM, a proper modpack flow, a clean first boot and backups before you get adventurous with Create contraptions.
Start with 8 GB unless this is a very small server — SkyFactory 5's own recommended floor.
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 void-start world generates.
Invite players only after the first clean startup.
Take a backup before world imports, updates or config changes — a broken skyblock base is a bad night.

CoalHost is built around modpack hosting, which makes SkyFactory 5 much less annoying to launch correctly.
