Installing Modpacks#

QualityNode streamlines modpack installation through integration with CurseForge, Modrinth, and other platforms.

Pre-Made Modpacks#

Installation Steps#

  1. Access your control panel and select your server
  2. Navigate to the Modpacks tab in the sidebar
  3. Browse available packs or search for specific ones
  4. You can also paste a direct link to a modpack in the search bar
  5. Click the install icon on your chosen pack
  6. Select Delete all files for a fresh installation
  7. Click confirm and wait for the installation to complete

Note

Larger modpacks may take several minutes to install. Your server will be ready once the process completes.

Supported Platforms#

QualityNode supports modpacks from:

  • CurseForge
  • Modrinth
  • Feed The Beast
  • Technic
  • Voids Wrath

Client Requirements#

Players must have the matching modpack installed via their launcher (CurseForge, Modrinth, Prism Launcher, etc.) to join your server.

Custom Modpacks#

Want to use your own modpack? Import from CurseForge or Modrinth apps.

From CurseForge App#

  1. In the CurseForge app, open your modpack
  2. Click the Share Profile button
  3. Copy the generated share code
  4. In your server's Modpacks tab, click Install
  5. Paste the share code
  6. Select Delete all files and confirm

From Modrinth App#

  1. In the Modrinth app, export your modpack as a .mrpack file
  2. In your server's Modpacks tab, click Install
  3. Drag and drop the .mrpack file into the panel
  4. Select Delete all files and confirm

Updating Modpacks#

To update an existing modpack to a newer version:

  1. Follow the standard installation steps above
  2. Do NOT select "Delete all files" to preserve your world and player data
  3. Confirm the installation

Warning

Create a backup before updating. Modpack upgrades can occasionally cause world corruption, especially with major version changes.

After updating, make sure all players also update their client modpacks to the matching version.

Troubleshooting#

Server won't start after modpack installation#

  • Check the console for error messages
  • Ensure you have enough RAM allocated for the modpack
  • Some modpacks require specific Java versions

Players can't connect#

  • Verify players have the exact same modpack version
  • Check that optional client-side mods aren't causing conflicts
  • Review the server logs for connection errors

Modpack not found#

  • Try pasting a direct link to the modpack page
  • Some modpacks may not allow server distribution - check the modpack's licensing
