How to Host a Sneak's RPG Pack Server (Forge 1.18.2 Setup Guide)

Start with 6 GB of RAM allocated to the server. That's the floor Sneak's RPG Pack's own recommended specs call for on Forge 1.18.2 — the pack bundles a deep RPG layer (custom classes, leveling, skill trees, quest lines) on top of a fairly cohesive mod list, so going lower risks stutter right as players are leveling up or mid-quest.

Import the modpack through a proper modpack installer rather than copying files from a client export. A clean install pulls the correct Forge 1.18.2 version and the exact mod/config set the pack was built around, so classes, skill trees, and quest triggers all line up the way the pack author intended.

Watch the console through the full first boot. Sneak's RPG Pack needs to finish registering its class, leveling, and quest systems before the world is ready — if the log stalls or throws errors during that phase, the RPG systems can end up half-initialized, which shows up later as broken skill trees or quests that won't trigger.

Only invite players once that first boot has completed cleanly and you've confirmed the world loads without errors. Letting people in mid-boot is how you end up with players picking a class before the leveling system has finished setting itself up.

Take a backup before importing an existing world, updating the Forge loader, or changing any RPG-related configs. Because progression here is built around stat investment and a narrative arc rather than a quick restart, a bad config change can wipe out hours of a character's leveling and quest progress with no way to recover it.
