How to Host a [TaCZ] Guns & Customs Server (Forge 1.20.1)
[TaCZ] Guns & Customs is a firearms showcase and testing pack for Forge 1.20.1, built around TaCZ (Timeless and Classics Zero) — one of the most detailed gun mods for Minecraft — plus additional gun mod resources with authentic animations, custom attachments, and reload mechanics. It's aimed at players who want to test and play with TaCZ weapons and community-made gun packs, not at players looking for a themed survival or adventure experience.
Start with at least 5 GB of RAM allocated to the server — that's the recommended floor for [TaCZ] Guns & Customs given Forge 1.20.1 plus the TaCZ weapon models, animations, and attachment data that load at boot.
Import the modpack from a clean source instead of guessing from a client export — upload the official [TaCZ] Guns & Customs server pack (or build one from the same TaCZ plus Forge 1.20.1 mod list) so the server's loader matches exactly what your players installed.
Watch the console on first boot until TaCZ and the other gun mod resources finish registering their items, attachments, and recipes — look for a complete mod list with no missing dependency errors before you treat the boot as clean.
Only invite players in once that first boot has finished cleanly. Joining mid-load while TaCZ is still registering weapon models and attachments is the fastest way to trigger client-side crashes.
Take a backup before importing a new world, updating Forge or TaCZ, or changing weapon and attachment configs — this is a testing pack, so players often build custom attachment loadouts and test setups that take real time to recreate if a config or world file gets corrupted.
