This guide is targeted for Windows 10, if you are on a different OS you may need to adapt some parts of the process.
In general we do not provide server installation support for technical questions,
but if you have specific questions about our pack installer, or comments about this guide,
feel free to ask them in the ATM Discord.
- Install Java 11 x64 (HotSpot) from AdoptOpenJDK and uninstall any other versions of Java (JRE/JDK)
- This is the recommended version, but anything between JDK 8-14 should work.
- This is the recommended vendor, other options include Azul Zulu OpenJDK or Oracle JDK.
- Ensure any third-party antivirus programs are disabled or uninstalled.
- Avast, AVG, and Bitdefender are known to interfere with the process - others are also likely to cause problems.
- Go to the CurseForge page for the pack version you want to install, and download the SIMPLE-SERVER-FILES.
- Unzip these to an empty folder.
- Make sure you do not have this in OneDrive or another synced folder, as those can lock up the installer.
- Run
startserver.bat
and wait for it to complete. When the installation is complete, you should see a prompt to accept the EULA. - Once you accept the EULA, the server will start running. Startup will typically take 3-5 minutes.
- When the server has started fully (text in the command line should stop moving for ~30 seconds), close the window.
- This works around a known issue where you cannot type in the console the first time you start the server.
- Make any changes needed to server.properties or configs, and run
startserver.bat
again to start the server.- Many guides tell you to edit
server-ip
orserver-port
. In most cases you DO NOT need to edit these,
and this can prevent your server from starting. Make sure you know what these do, before you edit them. - If you want to import a single player world, you can do this now before starting the server.
- Many guides tell you to edit
- Importing a single player world
- Shut off the server.
- Delete
world
from the server. - Copy your save into the server directory, and rename it to
world
. - Delete

(single player worlds can sometimes generate icons that are too large for the server)
