Modpacks/Boot test failing 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?
Careful — Our most recent boot test failed on 2026-09-06. The whole log, failures included, stays public on our /verified page while we work on it. The page stays up because the pack is installable and the log is public, but we are not calling it working right now.
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.
