How to Host an FTB Pyramid Reborn 3.0 Server

Start with at least 5 GB of RAM allocated — that's the recommended floor for FTB Pyramid Reborn 3.0 on Forge 1.12.2, and it's where the pack's own mod list is built to run smoothly rather than a third-party guess.

Import the modpack through a proper modpack installer rather than copying files from a client export — FTB Pyramid Reborn 3.0 ships as a packaged Forge 1.12.2 pack, and a clean import avoids mismatched mod versions that break the quest book or the pyramid's starting structure.

Watch the server logs through the full first boot and confirm the world generates the ancient pyramid starting structure and the FTB quest book loads without errors — this pack's entire hook is the scripted pyramid-escape opening, so a broken quest book or missing structure on first load means players spawn with no challenge at all.

Only invite players once that first boot has completed cleanly end to end — Pyramid Reborn drops everyone into a resource-limited pyramid interior, so a server that's still finishing chunk generation or quest setup when the first player logs in can corrupt the intended scarcity of that opening phase.

Take a backup before importing a new world, updating Forge or any mods, or changing configs — losing a save here doesn't just cost blocks, it costs the escape progress and quest-book state that the whole pyramid-to-civilization arc is built on.
