Forge server hosting

Forge is the classic mod loader with the deepest catalog: RLCraft, All the Mods, and a decade of famous packs run on it. If the pack you love is big and legendary, it is probably Forge.

Forge has carried modded Minecraft for over a decade, and its back catalog is unmatched: the packs people name from memory are Forge packs. When your group wants the big classics, Forge is the loader that runs them.

Big Forge packs are exactly where hosting quality shows. We size plans from real testing, preinstall the pack for you when you pick a curated one, and keep off-site backups so a decade-old world stays a decade-old world.

Why run Forge here

  • The deepest mod and pack catalog in modded Minecraft.
  • Curated Forge packs arrive preinstalled and tested.
  • Sized honestly for heavy packs, with room to upgrade in place.

Frequently asked questions

Why do the biggest modpacks run on Forge?
History and depth: Forge came first and accumulated the largest mod ecosystem, so pack authors building big kitchen-sink or progression packs usually build on it. Its modern successor NeoForge carries that line forward on newer versions.
How much RAM does a Forge server need?
More than vanilla, and it depends on the pack: our curated Forge packs each state a tested minimum on their page, from mid-size plans for classics like RLCraft to larger ones for kitchen-sink packs.
Can we switch to a different pack later?
Yes. Your dashboard can switch the server to another pack or server type. Take a backup first and the old world stays restorable.
Are backups included?
Yes. Off-site cloud backups are included on every plan, on a configurable hourly to weekly cadence, with up to 20 kept.
