American ExpressAbout the modpack
FTB Arcanum Institute is a magic-themed Minecraft modpack from Feed the Beast. You arrive as a student at an arcane institute, learn spells, explore elemental realms and work through a guided quest line. It's more fun with a full class, so Minecraft FTB Arcanum Institute server hosting puts the whole adventure on your own always-on server, where your friends can study, explore and progress together in one shared world.
The modpack sets itself up when you order, so you don't have to install Forge by hand and can start playing right away. You choose RAM based on your group, not on a slot count. You can also upload your singleplayer save, change configs and Backups in the panel, and pick the location closest to your players.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Plan at least 5 GB. That is also a comfortable start for a small group.
Arcanum Institute is a full Forge modpack, so RAM matters more than player count. A small study group runs well from around 5 GB. Bigger groups that explore many realms at once should plan for 8 GB or more. Slots are unlimited on every package, so RAM is the only thing you size, and you can check usage live in the panel.
You don't have to: the modpack installs automatically when you order.
When you order through this page, your server is set up with the latest release of FTB Arcanum Institute and the matching Forge server type. After that you can still change configs and files in the panel. Read the modpack guide
As many as your RAM can handle: every package has unlimited player slots.
There are no slot tiers. How many students fit depends on the RAM you choose and how much of the world they load at the same time. Start with the package that fits your group and watch the live statistics as your class grows.
Your server is online in under 60 seconds after you order.
As soon as you pay, your server is created and the modpack setup starts automatically. A large pack like Arcanum Institute can need a few extra minutes on its first start while the world generates. After that, you're ready to invite your friends.
Everyone installs the same pack version, then connects with the address from the panel.
Each player installs FTB Arcanum Institute in the same version as the server, for example through the FTB App. Then they add your server using the IP and port shown in the panel. If players spawn away from the institute on their first join, check the pack's multiplayer notes and your spawn settings before the whole group logs in. How to connect to your server
Yes, you can bring your singleplayer progress to the server.
Make a Backup with the ZapX Pass and stop the server. Upload your world folder through the file manager or FTP, then set it as the active world. Use the same pack version you played in singleplayer so quests and items load correctly. Learn how to upload your world
You choose from locations worldwide, so pick the one closest to your players.
Latency depends on the distance between your group and the data center, so choose the location nearest to most of your players. Many North American groups start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles. If your friends play from somewhere else, every other region in the list is available too.
Yes: with ZapX Pass you can buy your server once as Lifetime.
You can rent with a flexible term and cancel anytime. Or, with ZapX Pass, you can buy the server as Lifetime and pay only once, which suits an Arcanum world your group wants to keep for a long time. The shop shows live prices for both options. Rent or Lifetime explained
