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.
