How to Host an Endless Horror Server (Forge 1.19.2)

Start the server plan at 8 GB RAM minimum — that's Endless Horror's own recommended floor, not a guess. With nearly every horror mod for Forge 1.19.2 loaded at once plus shaders, going lower risks slow chunk loading and mod conflicts right when a horror event triggers.

Import the modpack from its official file rather than trying to rebuild it from a friend's client export. Endless Horror's mod list is large enough that a manual rebuild will almost always miss a dependency or load a mismatched version, which shows up as a crash later rather than immediately.

Watch the server log through the entire first boot. With this many horror mods active simultaneously, check specifically for mod-load errors and shader-pipeline warnings before assuming the world is stable — a pack this size needs a clean first boot more than most.

Only invite players once that first boot finishes cleanly and the world loads without errors. Endless Horror throws multiple horror systems at players at the same time, so a shaky first session is the fastest way to lose trust before anyone's even been scared.

Back up before any world import, Forge version change, or config edit. With this many content mods interacting at once, a bad update can corrupt a save faster than on a single-mechanic horror pack — and you'd be re-doing every hour of progress players put into surviving it.
