How to create a server for your custom-modpack

[nextcode]

Hello Technic-Users

In this thread I will show you how to create a server for your own custom modpack.

Requirements

• Existing / working custom modpack (you need to run it at least one time on your client without errors)
  
• Valid Minecraft license (you need it to download the minecraft server)
  

Preparation

• Create a new directory for your server
  
• Copy all the directory's from your client-directory to your server-directory
  

You will have now the folders 'coremods, config and mods' in your server-directory. Delete all files and folders in the server-directory except this three folders.

• Check if all your mods are SMP-compatible (usually is written in the mod description). You need to delete all the mod's who are not SMP-compatible (see the mod-description for further information).
  

Build your Server

• Download the offical Minecraft Server (as jarfile) from Mojang (You need the server based on your Minecraft client-release)
  
• Copy the content of your client "modpack.jar" from the /bin folder into the official Minecraft-Server jar.
  
• Rename you Minecraft-Server.jar and place the file into the root of the server-directory
  
• Now get a script from the internet to start your server (java -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -jar...)
  
• Start your server - Your server should now work !

This guide also includes modification to Mojang's server software which is illegal to distribute.

Nope it does not. I do not distribute the Mojang Server Software. I just wanted to show how to create a Minecraft-Server for a custom modpack.

So please delete this useless thread. If it has been already done...

I assumed that you were providing a guide for creating a server package for download from a custom mod pack's page. If somebody followed your guide to put together such a package and offered it for download they would indeed be distributing a modified version of Mojang's software.

Yes, deleting this thread would probably be a good idea.
