How to Share your Custom Modpack with StickyPiston

If you would like to host your custom modpack with StickyPiston, this guide will take you through the steps.
This guide assumes you have created your modpack in the Twitch launcher but if you have used a different launcher, open a support ticket and we are happy to help you export it ready for upload. You will also need to have placed a server order with StickyPiston for us to be able to use the files.

Creating a Custom Modpack Server

If you have created a modpack in the Twitch launcher, you will need to export it with these steps and send it to us.

1. Click on the Profile image to open the screen that lists all the mods in your pack.
2. Click on the three purple dots to the right of the Get More Content button.
3. Click on Export Profile.

1. Name your profile to match the name you have in your Twitch Launcher.
2. The package version does not necessarily matter but it can be used to track updated versions if you continue to make changes to the pack.
3. Select the Files and Folders that are needed (As standard they are already selected but configs and mods are the required folders).

1. Click on the purple Okay button.

This will begin the export process and usually the zipped folder can be found in;

C:\Users<yourname>\Documents\Curse\Minecraft\Export

How to Send Us Your Modpack Files

We accept custom modpack files in many ways.

• You can use FTP to directly upload the files to your server: FTP Access to Upload Files.
  Let us know when it is done by opening a support ticket.
• To connect to your server using FTP you need to download the Filezilla FTP client here. When you have downloaded it your settings will be as follows to connect to your server.

Host: (Your server IP address without the port number. e.g. 196.212.122.45)
UserName: (Multicraft username with the id of your server e.g. Notch.4321)
Port: 21
Password: Your Multicraft Password

• Upload the modpack or custom profile with our file transfer service: transfer.stickypiston.co
  Let us know when it is done by opening a support ticket including a download link for us to access your pack.

What Happens When We Have Your Modpack Files

Once the custom modpack has been received by StickyPiston we will:

1. Install the correct version of Forge on your server.
2. Disable any client side mods that won’t work on a server.
3. Test that the server starts correctly and all the mods are loaded.
4. Debug and fix any errors that appear.
5. Reply to your support ticket to let you know that the modpack is installed and running on your server.
