How to Host a BigChadGuys Plus Server

Hosting BigChadGuys Plus cleanly is less about some hidden command and more about doing the obvious things in the right order: enough RAM for Cobblemon plus the extra SMP mods, a proper modpack flow, a clean first boot and backups before anything risky.

1

Start with 6 GB — Fabric keeps this pack lighter than a Forge kitchen-sink, but Cobblemon's spawn and battle systems still add real load over vanilla.

2

Use a proper modpack import flow instead of guessing from a client export.

3

Watch the first boot logs until the server finishes loading and Cobblemon's spawn tables generate cleanly.

4

Invite players only after the first clean startup.

5

Take a backup before world imports, Fabric updates or config changes — Pokémon teams and SMP builds are slow to rebuild.

CoalHost is built around modpack hosting, which makes BigChadGuys Plus much less annoying to launch correctly.
