Hello everyone! Included is a serverpack and here are some instructions for anyone not familiar with making and hosting a modded server.

! ! ~ You must have Java installed on your computer before you can host a server. Any questions please ask us on our Discord Server, we will help you :) ~ ! !

                                                                                                         I use Java SE Development Kit 17.0.3.1

- First download the serverpack

- Extract the downloaded file into a new folder

- Run the forge installer, install the forge server into the same folder that you unzipped the server files into

- Run the run.bat, it will show a few lines on the command prompt then stop, this is normal

- Accept the newly generated EULA text file that appears

- Configure the server.properties file ( you will need to set the IP on line 43 to your local IP ) You get your local IP by running `ipconfig` in your command prompt, it will be the IPV4 address

- You can also change the name of the world that will generate by going to line 22 and customizing it, the default is `The Colony`

- OPTIONAL: Make a shortcut to your desktop of the run.bat and rename it for ease of access

Extra

If your friends want to join your server and they are not located on your local network, you will have to provide them with your public IP. You can get this by typing in what's my IP, and you will be taken to the site and it will tell you. They will use that IP and the same server port number in the example format ` 234.234.234.1:25565`. It has to be the same port number as the one located on line 44 in your server.properties, this can be customized.
