Hosting provider issues after a modpack update

Sometimes a hosting panel updates only part of the modpack (mods but not configs/datapacks), or installs the wrong server files for a new version. The result can be crashes, missing datapacks, or players being unable to join.

Fix checklist

  1. Stop the server.
  2. Back up your world folder.
  3. Reinstall the official server files for the exact modpack version you want to run.
  4. If the newest version is broken on your provider, temporarily pin to the previous working version.
  5. Avoid “manual mod updates” through the panel unless you know the pack supports it.

Symptoms

  • Server won’t boot after updating (entrypoint stage errors, missing mods).
  • World refuses to load due to missing datapacks or config-driven content.
  • Players get “outdated version” when trying to join (version mismatch).
