Package manager
The modpack setup, done for you.
Setting up a modded server by hand means finding the server files, matching the loader version and picking the right Java. Beacon's package manager handles all of it.
02
Server pack or not, it runs
Packs with a server pack get it. Packs that only ship a client download are set up to run on a server too, so every public pack is fair game.
03
Loader and Java come with it
Forge, NeoForge or Fabric, and the Java version the pack needs, are installed alongside it. If that replaces what your server runs now, you're told first.
04
Stays tidy after
The mods a pack brings in are listed under it and removed with it. Switch loaders later and any mod that won't load is flagged on its own row.
Choosing a plan
How much RAM does my modpack need?
A rough guide for about ten players. Add 1–2 GB for a bigger group, and upgrade from your panel any time.
Light
4–6 GB
Vanilla-plus and performance packs, up to about 100 mods. Most Fabric packs sit here.
Medium
6–8 GB
100–250 mods. Tech and adventure packs built around Create or a quest book.
Heavy
10 GB+
Kitchen-sink packs with 300+ mods, like All the Mods. Worth the headroom for world gen.
Why Beacon
Built for modded servers, not a leftover VPS.
The hardware, network and support behind every plan.
Live within 2 minutes
Pick a plan and a region, and your server is usually ready within two minutes. Install a modpack straight away. We measure that time on every order.
NVMe for heavy world gen
Modded terrain and big chunk loads lean hard on the disk. Every plan runs on NVMe, not leftover HDD space.
Upgrade as the pack grows
Added a few dozen mods? Move to a bigger plan from your panel. The change is prorated, and your world stays where it is.
DDoS on Minecraft ports
Protection sits in front of every Minecraft port so attacks hit the filter, not your players. Included on every plan.
Play close to home
Choose a location on the map at checkout. Ping is measured before you pay.
First reply within 4 hours
Crash logs, mod conflicts, migrations and world restores, from people who run modded servers. First reply within 4 hours on business days.
What is included
On every paid plan, before you check out.
Backups, DDoS filtering, NVMe storage, and the RAM/CPU you select — included, not sold as surprises later.
Backups
Backup slots on every paid plan. Create and restore from the panel — no setup fee.
DDoS protection
Filtering on Minecraft ports, included on every plan. Protection sits in front of the game, not as a paid add-on.
NVMe storage
Dedicated disk sized to the plan you pick — not leftover shared HDD space.
Reserved resources
The RAM and CPU shown at checkout are allocated to your server. Player slots are unmetered.
How it works
From checkout to a running modpack.
01
Pick a Java plan
See RAM, CPU, disk and the monthly price before checkout. Use the guide above if you're unsure.
02
Install your modpack
Open the package manager, search for the pack and install it. The loader and Java are set up for you.
03
Invite your players
Start the server and share the address. Players need the same pack on their side to join.
Start your modded server
Pick a Java plan, install your modpack from the panel and invite your players. The listed price is the renewal price.
