Pack setup

How should I set up Ars Arcanum for players and a server?

Use Ars Arcanum 1.1.0 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.

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.

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 Ars Arcanum?

Ars Arcanum 1.1.0. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

22 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Ars Arcanum 1.1.0. That file is for Minecraft 1.20.4 with NeoForge 20.4.232. This NeoForge setup needs Java 17. It contains 22 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.

Ars Arcanum

Embark on an enchanting journey through the realms of Ars Arcanum, a Minecraft modpack that redefines the boundaries of adventure and magic. Delve into a world teeming with mystique and wonder, where new types of totems of undying hold secrets waiting to be unraveled. These totems possess unique abilities, offering protection and power to those daring enough to wield them. Brace yourself as you encounter custom ender animals and monstrous creatures lurking in the shadows of the End, each with their own unique traits and challenges to overcome.

As you traverse the vast landscapes, discover a tapestry of new biomes that paint the world in breathtaking hues. From lush forests to desolate tundras, each biome harbors its own mysteries and treasures, waiting to be unearthed. Set foot in villages and pillager outposts, each with their own stories to tell and rewards to claim.

Arm yourself with special swords imbued with arcane abilities, capable of turning the tide of battle in your favor. Encounter new types of endermen, their otherworldly presence sending shivers down your spine as you navigate the perilous realms of the End dimension. Prepare to face off against monstrous bosses mutated by unknown forces, their formidable strength and special abilites posing a formidable challenge to even the most seasoned adventurers.

Experience the ebb and flow of the seasons as they shape the world around you, bringing new challenges and opportunities with each passing day. Equip yourself with an array of tools, weapons, and armor forged from exotic materials, each offering unique advantages to aid you on your journey. With Ars Arcanum, the boundaries of Minecraft are expanded, inviting you to embark on an unforgettable odyssey filled with magic, mystery, and endless possibilities.

Use new special types of backpacks, capable of crafting, holding fluids, and more! Fight super-tough mob captains, which drop OP loot. Enjoy frolicking with the wild ducks, or eat new foods such as apple pie. Beware, adventurers, there is a thirst and temperature bar, this may give you some grief...
