How to Update a Monifactory Server Safely
Monifactory bundles several GregTech addon mods together, tightly version-matched — updating one on its own is the most common way to break an update. Backup first, update the whole pack, verify before reopening.
Start with a restore point
Back up the world before updating — multiblock processing chains take real time to rebuild if lost.
Update the whole pack, not one addon
- Download the full Monifactory release rather than updating a single GregTech addon manually.
- Match Forge to the exact 1.20.1 build the new release specifies.
- Keep any custom automation blueprints or schematics backed up separately before updating.
Verify before you reopen the server
Let existing multiblocks reinitialize fully and check the log for dependency errors before inviting players back.
FAQ
Can I update one GregTech addon mod without the rest of Monifactory?+
No — they're tightly version-matched. Update the whole pack together or risk dependency-mismatch crashes.
What's the biggest risk after updating?+
A multiblock structure failing to reinitialize correctly — check the log before reopening.
What should I back up?+
The world, plus any custom automation blueprints or schematics you've built.
