All the Mods 10: To the Sky (ATM10SKY)

Skyblock variant of ATM10. Boot does not stabilise after install + auto-quarantine. Modpack-author-side issue.

Unknown10 GBBroken
All the Mods 11 (ATM11)

No resolvable stable file on CurseForge.

Unknown12 GBBroken
Beyond Depth

Pack contains client-only mods that crash dedicated-server boot. Auto-quarantine across 3 cycles did not produce a bootable mod set. Modpack-author-side issue.

Unknown8 GBBroken
Cursed Walking - A Modern Zombie Apocalypse

Pack contains client-only mods (ShoulderSurfing, EuphoriaPatcher, etc.) that crash dedicated-server boot. Quarantining them breaks other mods that depend on them (e.g. tp_shooting needs ShoulderSurfing). Cannot be fixed without modpack-author changes.

Unknown10 GBBroken
DawnCraft - Echoes of Legends

Server pack ships client-only mods that crash dedicated-server boot. Auto-quarantine cannot recover the full mod set without breaking dependency chains. Pack-author-side issue.

Unknown10 GBBroken
FTB StoneBlock 4

NeoForge 1.21 StoneBlock 4 — boot does not stabilise after auto-quarantine. Mod dependency chain prevents clean removal of client-only mods.

Unknown8 GBBroken
NightfallCraft - The Casket of Reveries

Pack contains client-only mods that crash dedicated-server boot. Auto-quarantine cycles do not produce a bootable mod set.

What "verified" means

  • Boot-tested on a dedicated cloud VM. Not a local laptop — the same Hetzner cloud instance type a paying customer gets. If it doesn't boot there, it's not verified.
  • TPS ≥18 sustained with simulated players. Five Mineflayer bots wandering the spawn area for at least fifteen minutes. Real load, not an idle server pretending to be healthy.
  • No crashes in a 24-hour soak. Heap-leak mods, mid-game OOM, watchdog timeouts — all caught here before customers run into them.
  • Ships with the recipe tuning applied. Our recipe DB pins server.properties, disables known crasher mods, and patches config values we learned the hard way. Every install gets it automatically.

Why we benchmark

If we say a pack works, you don't waste €18/mo on a host that crashes the first time your friends log in. Hosts that advertise "all modpacks supported" almost universally mean "we'll let you install it, you figure out the rest". We'd rather mark a pack broken in public than ship it and lie.

Methodology

  • Hardware: Hetzner Cloud cx33 (4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM). Same SKU every run — fair comparison.
  • JVM: Temurin 17 / 21 to match the pack's requirement. ZGC by default — sub-1ms GC pauses, no Aikar tail-spike lag.
  • Recipe applied: We run the install through the same auto-fix pipeline customers see, so the boot result reflects what they'll actually get.
  • Network: EU datacenter (Helsinki), where most of our players already are. Ping numbers are real, not best-case.
  • Re-run cadence: Every time the recipe changes, the verification timestamp resets. No stale "verified two years ago" lying around.
