How to Make a Homestead Server (Fabric 1.20.1)

Homestead - A Cozy Survival Experience 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 Homestead needs

Homestead is a cozy survival pack on Fabric 1.20.1: quests, farming, building and a hand-crafted world to settle into.

Loader: Fabric. Minecraft: 1.20.1. Source: CurseForge. Mod loaders only run on Kingdom plans; Campfire and Village cannot run any mods.

How much RAM

Cozy packs are calmer than combat packs, but farms, animals and decorations add up as the village grows.

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 Homestead on Chunkly

  1. Create a Kingdom world, or open an existing one.
  2. Go to Mods and pick the Modpacks tab.
  3. Search for Homestead, or paste its link: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/homestead-cozy.
  4. Click Use this pack, then Apply to server and confirm. Your world folder stays on disk.
  5. 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 Homestead 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

Big farms with many animals are the usual cause of lag in cozy packs. Lower view distance on Settings before you buy more RAM.

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.

Server crashing on start? See mods not loading. Full install guide: how to install a modpack.
