How to Make a Better MC 4 Server (Forge 1.20.1)
Better MC [FORGE] BMC4 needs a modded server. On Chunkly that is a Kingdom plan, and the pack installs from the panel in a few clicks. This page covers the loader, the RAM to start with, the install steps and how friends join.
What Better MC 4 needs
Better MC is a Vanilla+ pack: it keeps the feel of normal Minecraft and adds new biomes, structures, mobs and quality-of-life mods. BMC4 is the Forge build on Minecraft 1.20.1.
Loader: Forge. Minecraft: 1.20.1. Source: CurseForge. Mod loaders only run on Kingdom plans; Campfire and Village cannot run any mods.
How much RAM
Vanilla+ packs are lighter than kitchen-sink tech packs, but the extra structures and world generation still cost memory when players explore.
Our starting point: Kingdom 6 GB (€11.40 a month) for a small group, and Kingdom 8 GB (€15.20 a month) for a bigger group or an older world. If the pack's own page lists a server RAM figure, follow that instead.
If the panel warns that the world is running out of memory, use Upgrade plan on the Overview. The world, files and address stay the same, and the extra RAM applies after the next restart. See the RAM guide.
Install Better MC 4 on Chunkly
- Create a Kingdom world, or open an existing one.
- Go to Mods and pick the Modpacks tab.
- Search for Better MC 4, or paste its link:
https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/better-mc-forge-bmc4. - Click Use this pack, then Apply to server and confirm. Your world folder stays on disk.
- Wait. The first start of a large pack often takes 10 to 30 minutes and can restart once. Do not press Restart while it says Starting.
Get your friends in
Every player needs the same Better MC 4 version on their own game, or the server refuses them with an incompatible mod list.
On the Mods page, Copy friend link gives friends a page with the install steps and the join address. Download for your game gives a ZIP of every mod for any launcher. Players using the CurseForge app can install the pack from there instead.
Friends join with your address, like name.play.chunkly.net, with no port.
Good to know
Better MC also has a NeoForge build for 1.21.1 (BMC5) and a Fabric build. Pick the one your friends already have installed, because client and server must match. See Better MC 5 server setup.
Modded worlds sleep only after two days with nobody online, because they are slow to boot. Make a backup on Backups with Create backup before every pack update.
