How to Update a Prominence II Server | Safer 2026 Guide
Prominence II: Hasturian Era is a 679-mod Fabric RPG pack on Minecraft 1.20.1 — lore, voiced NPCs, a custom questing system, bosses and talent trees all live inside the world save. The update mistake that trips people up most isn't the RPG systems, though: it's grabbing a Forge-flavored server pack instinct out of habit when this pack needs Fabric specifically.

1. Back up before touching the pack
Boss defeats, talent-tree points and quest state are all tracked in the world save. Take a full restore point before updating — Prominence II's progression systems are deep enough that this isn't optional insurance, it's the baseline.
2. Get the Fabric server pack specifically
- Download the server pack for the exact version you're targeting from CurseForge or Modrinth — the server pack, not the client pack.
- Confirm it's the Fabric build. This pack is often mentioned in the same breath as Forge-based RPG packs, and grabbing the wrong loader's files is the single most avoidable update mistake here.
- Shut the server down with the stop command before swapping any files.
3. Match client and server versions exactly
Players need to be on the same pack version as the server. A mismatch shows up as connection failures or crashes right after the update, and is easy to misdiagnose as something else.
4. Verify lore and quest content specifically on first boot
Wait for the server to reach a clean Done on startup, then check that the Kingdom of Vaaz capital and its NPCs load correctly before reopening to players. Voiced-NPC and quest content is exactly the kind of thing a subtle version mismatch breaks first, and it's not always obvious from the startup log alone.
FAQ
Is Prominence II a Forge or Fabric pack?+
Fabric — on Minecraft 1.20.1. That matters when updating because the server pack download and loader setup are different from most of the Forge-based RPG packs it gets compared to.
Will updating reset my quest or talent-tree progress?+
It shouldn't — that data lives in the world save, not the pack files — but Prominence II's quest system, bosses and talent trees represent real hours of progression, so a backup before updating is the only real safety net if a specific update changes how that data is read.
What should I check after updating?+
Beyond a normal clean boot, check that the Kingdom of Vaaz capital city and its NPCs load correctly — lore and quest-NPC content is exactly the kind of thing a version mismatch breaks first in this pack.
Update Prominence II on a host that gets Fabric right
CoalHost runs the correct Fabric loader for Prominence II by default and keeps a backup ahead of every update, so quest and talent progress stay safe.
