FTB Academy · Learn modded Minecraft with friends: the original FTB Academy for Minecraft 1.12, installed automatically and DDoS-protected.
American ExpressAbout the modpack
FTB Academy is the original Feed the Beast learning modpack for Minecraft 1.12, made to teach modded Minecraft. Instead of throwing hundreds of mods at you at once, it walks you through tech, magic and automation mods with guided lessons and quests, so you learn what each mod does before you build with it. That makes it an ideal first modpack for newcomers, families and classes. With FTB Academy server hosting, your whole group shares one world that stays online even when you log off.
On your own server, FTB Academy comes preinstalled with your order and you set the pace: invite as many friends or classmates as you like, tweak configs or add extra mods through full file access, and upload an existing world to keep your progress. Pick the location closest to your players from our locations worldwide.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Pick a RAM package and a location and order your server. It's online in 60 seconds. When you order through this page, FTB Academy is already preselected, and the pack and its server files are set up automatically with your order. Once it's running, copy the IP and port from the panel and join with the matching FTB Academy version in your launcher. Read the modpack guide
The price depends on the RAM package, term and location you choose. The package section on this page always shows the current live prices. Every package includes unlimited player slots and DDoS protection. You can cancel anytime. With ZapX Pass you can also buy a Lifetime server once instead of renting it monthly.
Modpacks like FTB Academy need clearly more RAM than vanilla Minecraft because every mod is loaded on the server. For a small group of friends, a mid-sized package is a solid start. For a whole class or lots of running machines, choose a larger one. The statistics in your panel show live RAM usage, and you can upgrade anytime without losing your world. As a guideline: about 5 GB for 2 players, 8 GB for around 10 players.
This server runs the original FTB Academy for Minecraft 1.12. Install it from the modpack installer in your panel, and make sure every player uses the same pack version in their launcher. If your group wants FTB Academy 2 on Minecraft 1.16, pick our FTB Academy 1.16 server instead. You can switch to another FTB modpack later. Back up your world first, because a reinstall replaces the server files. FTB Academy 1.16 server
Yes. All packages come with unlimited player slots, so you can invite as many friends, family members or classmates as your RAM can handle. Share the IP and port from the panel, make sure everyone uses the same FTB Academy version in their launcher, and turn on the whitelist if only your group should join. How to connect to your server
Yes. You get full file access in the panel and via FTP, so you can add extra mods, edit config files or adjust the server.properties. You can also upload your single-player FTB Academy world and continue right where you left off. Keep any added mods compatible with your pack version, and install them on every player's client too. Upload your own world
Choose the location closest to most of your players, since latency mainly depends on distance. ZAP-Hosting offers locations worldwide, and you pick yours when you order. Many North American groups start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles, and groups elsewhere pick a location near them.
Yes. Every FTB Academy server includes DDoS protection at no extra cost. It filters attack traffic before it reaches your server, so your world stays reachable for your group even if someone targets it. You can check incoming traffic in the DDoS manager in your panel.
