DREAD · DREAD installs automatically when you order: unlimited player slots, DDoS protection and locations worldwide. Cancel anytime.
American ExpressAbout DREAD
DREAD is a horror survival modpack for Minecraft Java Edition, made by Arrenek and published on CurseForge. It turns the familiar overworld into a hostile place where creatures hunt you after dark and every supply run is a risk. The fear hits hardest in multiplayer: you and your friends share one base, split the night watch and push deeper together. On your own DREAD server, that world stays online even when everyone's PC is off, so the story continues whenever someone logs in.
With your own server, you decide how the dread plays out: the pack is set up automatically when you order, you tweak difficulty and configs in the panel, import an existing singleplayer world and invite as many friends as your resources can handle, since there is no fixed slot limit. Pick a location close to your group, and the daily automatic Backup keeps a copy of your world in case a night goes very wrong.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
A horror survival modpack for Minecraft Java Edition by Arrenek.
DREAD bundles horror mods into one survival experience: hostile creatures, tense nights and scarce resources turn every trip outside your base into a risk. The pack is published on CurseForge, and on your server it is set up with the latest DREAD release from the modpack catalog.
You don't have to: DREAD is installed automatically with your order.
When you order through this page, the DREAD modpack is linked to your server and installed during setup with the matching server type. After the first start, which takes a little longer for a modpack, you can tweak configs or install a different pack from the Modpacks tab in the panel. Mods and modpacks in the Help Center
More than vanilla, because DREAD adds many mods, mobs and world generation.
RAM depends on how many friends play at once and how far you explore, not on a slot count. Start with a tier that leaves headroom above the entry plan, watch usage in the panel during the first nights, and raise RAM and CPU later if your group or world grows. As a guideline: about 5 GB for 2 players, 8 GB for around 10 players. DREAD runs on Minecraft 1.19.2 with Forge. How upgrades work
There is no fixed player-slot limit.
Minecraft has no technical player cap, so player slots are unlimited on every plan. In practice, RAM and CPU decide how many survivors DREAD handles smoothly at the same time, so size your plan for your group rather than for a slot package.
Yes, everyone needs the same DREAD version on their own PC.
DREAD changes the game on both sides, so each player installs the same DREAD version as the server, for example via the CurseForge app. Then they connect with the IP and port shown in your panel. A whitelist keeps the server limited to your group. Connecting step by step
Locations worldwide: pick the one closest to your group.
You choose the data center when you order. Latency depends on distance, so the best location is the one near most of your players. Many groups in North America start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles, and further locations are available worldwide depending on the product.
Yes, DDoS protection is included with every server.
Attacks on the network are filtered before they reach your server, so a public DREAD world or a community horror night stays reachable. Protection is part of the standard setup, so you don't need to book anything extra.
Yes to both.
You can cancel anytime; the cancellation takes effect at the end of your current term. If your group wants a break from horror, install another pack from the Modpacks tab in the panel. A daily automatic Backup is included, and with ZapX Pass you can create your own Backup before switching.
