How to Host an Another Quality Modpack 2 (AQM2) Server (Fabric 1.19.2)

Start with at least 6 GB of RAM. That's the recommended floor for Another Quality Modpack 2 (AQM2) itself — not a third-party guess — and it covers the Tech Reborn machines, magic systems, and exploration content running alongside Lithium, Sodium, and Starlight without the server choking during world generation.

Import the modpack directly rather than guessing from a client export. AQM2 is a curated Fabric kitchen-sink, so every mod in the list is there deliberately — a mismatched or incomplete server-side copy breaks compatibility fast. Use a clean, pack-matched server install so the mod set on the server mirrors what players have installed exactly.

Watch the logs through the entire first boot. Confirm Lithium, Sodium server-side, and Starlight initialize without errors, and that Tech Reborn's machine registries and the magic/exploration mods all finish loading before the server reports done. A curated pack like this fails loudly if one mod is missing — don't skip this check.

Only invite players once that first boot has completed cleanly with no mod load errors. A pack built around deliberate mod selection loses its whole value proposition if players join a half-loaded server and start reporting missing recipes or broken machines that are really just a loading problem.

Take a backup before importing an existing world, updating the Fabric loader, or changing any mod configs. AQM2 players tend to invest in Tech Reborn production chains and exploration progress — losing that to a bad config change or a failed update is the kind of thing that ends a server's playerbase.
