How to Host a Mineshafts & Monsters Server
Hosting Mineshafts & Monsters cleanly is less about some hidden command and more about doing the obvious things in the right order: enough RAM for the custom dungeons and story systems, a proper modpack flow, a clean first boot and backups before anything risky.
Start with 6 GB — the custom dungeons and narrative quest triggers add load beyond a plain exploration pack.
Use a proper modpack import flow instead of guessing from a client export.
Watch the first boot logs until the server finishes loading and the storyline/quest data initializes cleanly.
Invite players only after the first clean startup.
Take a backup before world imports, Forge updates or config changes — story progress and custom dungeon loot are slow to rebuild.

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