MERC-Front
A Modpack designed to add FPS-style PVP inspired by round-based shooters to Minecraft Powered by BlockFront.
Quick answer
Which MERC-Front release should I use?
MERC-Front 1.0.1 is a complete pack release for 1.21.1 with NeoForge 21.1.225. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. For this loader, use Java 21. 42 mods in this pack file.
Pack setup
How should I set up MERC-Front for players and a server?
Use MERC-Front 1.0.1 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 MERC-Front?
MERC-Front 1.0.1. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.
The selected pack release is MERC-Front 1.0.1. That file is for Minecraft 1.21.1 with NeoForge 21.1.225. This NeoForge setup needs Java 21. It contains 42 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.
About this project
What kind of pack is MERC-Front?
MERC-Front
MERC-Front is a community-run, third-party modpack built around BlockFront. It is designed for structured multiplayer gameplay, custom-built maps, and organized events, rather than traditional Minecraft survival or progression-based gameplay. Gameplay focuses on FPS-style, match-based combat with class-based loadouts and objective-driven game modes. The modpack supports a wide range of themes, from historical settings (including WWII) to sci-fi and experimental environments, depending on the maps and events being hosted.
What This Modpack Is For
✔ Designed for
- Multiplayer match-based gameplay
- Custom maps with diverse themes
- Community-run servers and creative map building
- Organized matches and testing environments
✖ Not designed for
- Survival playthroughs
- Vanilla-style progression
Many items do not have crafting recipes, making survival gameplay impractical and unsupported.
Servers and Matchmaking
Core Gameplay
MERC-Front adds FPS-style combat mechanics and structured multiplayer gameplay inspired by round-based shooters.
⚠️ Matchmaking has to be set up manually on a server and is not available in single-player mode. As an alternative, you can play on the official servers. If you want to set up your own server, it is recommended that you use this mod list MERC-Front Server Side Mods instead of the modpack, although the modpack is also compatible.
Game Modes
The modpack supports multiple multiplayer game modes, including:
- Domination
- Conquest
- Free For All
- Team Deathmatch
- Gun Game
- Trouble Town
- Infected
Classes
Players select from multiple gameplay classes with defined roles in matches. Current classes include:
- Rifle
- Lt. Rifle
- Assault
- Support
- Medic
- Sniper
- Gunner
- Anti-Tank
- Commander
- Specialist Class coming soon!
Maps
Currently there are over 24 playable maps each with its own layout and theme, with more on the way.
⚠️ These maps can only be accessed via the official servers and are not included in the modpack.
Current state
- Official server Network with matchmaking server and Map building server
There is no always-online public matchmaking server until 18.4.2026 19:00.
Work in progress
