How to Host an FTB Builders Paradise Server

FTB Builders Paradise runs on Forge 1.12.2 and ships with Chisel, Decocraft, MrCrayfish's Furniture, and Bibliocraft loaded from the start, so plan on 5 GB RAM as your floor — that's where the modpack's own decoration-mod load actually settles, even though no one is fighting mobs for resources.

Import the pack through a proper modpack installer with the exact FTB Builders Paradise version selected, rather than guessing from a client export — a mismatched Forge build or a missing decoration-mod jar is the fastest way to turn a furniture-and-blocks pack into a crash log.

Watch the console through first boot until Forge finishes registering everything (Chisel's block variants and Decocraft's furniture catalog take the longest) and the world generates cleanly into Creative Mode — there's no quest line or boss gate to confirm, just a stable creative world ready to use.

Only invite builders in once that first boot has completed cleanly and you've confirmed Creative Mode is active for new joins — Builders Paradise skips survival onboarding entirely, so the first thing anyone sees is the build plot itself.

Take a backup before importing an existing build, swapping the Forge version, or updating any decoration mod — unlike a survival pack where a bad restore costs you progression, here it costs you the builds themselves, which can represent hundreds of hours of manual placement.
