How to Update a Modern Skyblock 3 Server Safely

Modern Skyblock 3's story-driven chapter progression makes a bad update risky for Better Questing data specifically, not just the world. Backup first, update cleanly, verify before reopening.

Running Modern Skyblock 3? See the Modern Skyblock 3 pack page.

Start with a restore point

Back up the world and quest progression data before updating.

Refresh the pack cleanly

  • Use the exact new Modern Skyblock 3 version you intend to run.
  • Match Forge to the version the modpack specifies, not a newer build.
  • Move custom config changes back in deliberately rather than overwriting the new default configs wholesale.

Verify before you reopen the server

Confirm quest progress and sieve-based automation resume correctly before inviting players back.

FAQ

What's uniquely risky about updating this pack?+

Better Questing progression data — a bad update or interrupted save during a quest-state change can corrupt chapter progress specifically.

No — match the exact Forge version Modern Skyblock 3 specifies. A newer build is a common crash-on-startup cause.

What should I check after updating?+

That existing quest progress and sieve automation both resume normally before reopening to players.
