How to Host a DawnCraft Server

Hosting DawnCraft cleanly is less about some hidden command and more about doing the obvious things in the right order: enough RAM, a proper modpack flow, a clean first boot and backups before you get adventurous.

1

Start with 8 GB unless this is a very small server.

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.

4

Invite players only after the first clean startup.

5

Take a backup before world imports, updates or config changes.

Use a cleaner DawnCraft path

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