Pack setup

How should I set up SkyFactory 4 for players and a server?

Use SkyFactory 4 - 4.2.4 as the pack version. Install the pack as its own launcher instance. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file, so check the release notes before setting up a dedicated server. Do not upload the ordinary client folder blindly.

Client instance Install SkyFactory 4 - 4.2.4
Dedicated server setup Match SkyFactory 4 - 4.2.4
Pack loader Forge 14.23.5.2860

A pack is a matched client and server setup, not one mod with an install-side label. Keep its release, loader, manifest and overrides together.

Referenced mods 202
Client only 6
Server only 0
Not labelled 196

These numbers come from the pack file you chose. “Not labelled” means we don’t know which side it belongs on—not that it is safe everywhere. The file count is not a RAM estimate.

What are the server requirements for SkyFactory 4?

SkyFactory 4 - 4.2.4. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

202 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is SkyFactory 4 - 4.2.4. That file is for Minecraft 1.12.2 with Forge 14.23.5.2860. It contains 202 mod projects. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file. Check their notes before using one, and do not upload an ordinary client folder or rebuild the pack mod by mod. A file count cannot tell us the right RAM, CPU or storage; size the server for the players and world you actually run.

Back again for more modded skyblock fun! SkyFactory 4 offers a brand-new experience never before seen in the series. Full automation, tech, magic, and bacon resources! This iteration offers over 30+ world types so you can play the pack like never before! While some world types are based on the classic tree on dirt others are designed with unique recipes and advancements.

What makes this version different from every other SkyFactory before it? We've completely redesigned the resource gathering. Sieving for resources are a thing of the past. For a more immersive experience, Sky Orchards has been introduced. Resource Trees provides a built-in progression system and lets the player choose the resources they want to produce rather than a randomized system. We've removed the achievement book and replaced it with the advancement system. Instead of requiring players to manually check out what they've accomplished, the game will keep track for you. This system isn't designed to create a required questing system, but rather an optional set of goals for players looking for ideas on what to do next.

SkyFactory 4 introduces the prestige system! This is a completely optional game mode allowing you to unlock mods, items, and mechanics through an open progression system. Prestige points and unlocks are global and can be brought with you to other worlds! Prestige points can be gained by finishing advancements or by using the Parabox, a time-traveling box that generates points. To get started, enable prestige mode on the world creation screen.

Beyond this initial release, we are planning regular content updates outside of bug fixes. There is currently a full progression into the late game. New content updates will introduce new world types, new game modes, more prestige unlocks, and more!
