How to Host a Create: New World Server (Locked Progression Setup Guide)
Create: New World turns the open-ended Create sandbox into a milestone-gated journey — automate your way through locked goals to unlock the next tier of components. Hosting it right means sizing RAM for where the world will grow, not where it starts. Here's how to get it running.
Start with at least 10GB of RAM dedicated to the modpack. Create: New World's milestone system unlocks more Create add-ons and automation stages as your group progresses, and the pack's install size reflects that — size for where the world will be in a few weeks, not day one.
Import the official server pack directly through CoalHost's panel. The milestone-gated progression depends on every Create add-on loading in the exact configuration the pack author built; the real server pack guarantees that over a hand-built mod folder.
Watch the first boot complete fully before inviting your group in. Create-heavy packs register a lot of custom block entities and contraptions on startup — a clean 'Done' in the console is the signal the milestone system is ready to track progress correctly.
Agree on pacing before you unlock the first few milestones. Unlike an open Create sandbox, this pack gates content behind completed goals — rushing ahead solo can leave the rest of the group without the automation pieces they need to catch up.
Take a backup before any mod update, especially ones touching Create or its add-ons. A locked-progression world represents real milestone investment, and Create's contraptions are exactly the kind of state that's expensive to lose to a bad update.
Use a cleaner Create: New World path
CoalHost is built around modpack hosting, which makes Create: New World much less annoying to launch correctly.
