American ExpressAbout Desertopolis
Desertopolis is a quest-based desert survival modpack for Minecraft Java Edition by benbenlaw, built on 1.20.1. You start in a harsh custom desert world where thirst and temperature matter. A quest line unlocks your progress, and Yung's structures give you more to explore. A Desertopolis server gives your crew one shared world that stays online, with the modpack installed automatically and unlimited player slots.
You decide how the run plays out. Keep it private with a whitelist, upload a world you already started, back up before a risky quest chapter and use the game switch when your group wants a different modpack. You also choose your server location from locations worldwide, so you can pick the one closest to your crew.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
More than vanilla. Size it for your crew and how far you explore.
Desertopolis is a full quest modpack, so it needs noticeably more RAM than a vanilla world. A small crew can use the RAM guideline below. Bigger groups, many loaded chunks and large bases need more RAM and CPU. Watch usage in the live statistics and add RAM in the panel as the world grows. As a guideline: about 5 GB for 2 players, 8 GB for around 10 players. Desertopolis runs on Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge.
You don't have to. It is set up automatically with your order.
When you order through this page, the latest Desertopolis release is installed on your server automatically, along with the matching server type. You don't upload server files or choose a loader yourself. You can add extra mods or change configs afterwards through the file access in the panel. Guide: mods and modpacks
Every player needs the same modpack version, then connects by IP.
Each player installs Desertopolis in the CurseForge app, using the same version that runs on your server. Then they open Multiplayer, add the server with the IP and port shown in the panel, and join. A mod mismatch error usually means that player's client version is different from the server's. How to connect in the Help Center
Every package has unlimited player slots.
There are no slot tiers. The practical limit is the RAM and CPU of your package. A small group of friends and a larger community use the same model; if more players explore at once, the server simply needs more resources.
Yes, the game switch is included.
When your group finishes the desert or wants a new challenge, use the game switch in the panel to move to another modpack or game. Back up your Desertopolis world first so your progress stays saved.
Usually online in under 60 seconds. Cancel anytime.
Your server is usually ready within a minute of ordering, and Desertopolis is installed right after. In the configurator you choose your package and term. You can cancel anytime, and the cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term. Current prices load live in the plans section.
Locations worldwide: pick the one closest to your players.
You choose the data center when you order. Many North American groups start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles, but you can choose from locations worldwide. What matters is the latency for your own crew, wherever they play from.
Yes, DDoS protection is included.
DDoS protection filters the game traffic to your server as standard, so an attack doesn't cut short a quest run or a community event. You don't need to book anything extra. Learn more about DDoS protection
