Modpacks/Boot-tested server hosting
FTB Academy Server Hosting
FTB's official beginner modded Minecraft pack on Forge 1.12.2 — 773K downloads. Designed to teach new players how modded Minecraft works through a structured quest guide: start with basic tools, learn automation, then move to more complex systems. Each chapter introduces a new mod or concept. Ideal for groups where some players are new to modded MC and want a gentle on-ramp before jumping into heavier packs like Direwolf20 or Enigmatica. Much lower RAM requirement than most FTB packs.
Most “does this modpack work on a server” answers are guesses. This one isn't: FTB Academy is in our boot-tested catalog, which means we installed it end-to-end on a real VM, measured the RAM it actually needs, and recorded the mods that crash a dedicated server — then handled them automatically so your first boot doesn't hit the crashes we already found.

Common questions
How much RAM does a FTB Academy server need?
We measured 3 GB as the boot floor on a real dedicated VM — not a guess. The signup flow pre-sizes to 3 GB so you can't accidentally under-provision.
Does FTB Academy work on a dedicated server?
Yes — it's one of the packs in our boot-tested catalog: we install it end-to-end, boot it, and confirm it accepts Minecraft connections before we list it.
What happens if it crashes anyway?
Every server gets automated backups plus a crash-analyzer that reads the actual log, matches it against known modpack failures and either applies the fix or restores the backup.
