Set up the Integrated MC modpack server

Integrated MC is an exploration modpack for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge. Its CurseForge page describes dungeons and structures built to work with the modded blocks and loot, a quest line that rewards exploring, and Sinytra Connector so some Fabric mods run on Forge. You install the server from the Modpacks tab, using the pack's own server files.

Checked against Integrated MC 1.6.8 (CurseForge file dated 14 April 2026) on Forge 47.4.0 and Minecraft 1.20.1, October 2026.

What the pack needs

• Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge 47.4.0. The server files name that Forge build in their variables.txt. The panel runs 1.20.1 on Java 17 and picks it for you.
• Memory. The pack's page says server hosts should allocate 1 GB per active player and no less than 4 GB. Your plan sets the RAM, so read how much RAM a Minecraft server needs and check the Minecraft plans before you install.
• Disk space. The server files are a download of about 946 MB and unpack to about 1.05 GB. The download sits on your plan's disk while it unpacks, so you need room for both.
• The same pack version for players. Players should install Integrated MC 1.6.8 from the CurseForge app.

Install the server

1. Open your server and choose Modpacks under Content in the left rail.
2. Above the search box, press the CurseForge chip, then search for Integrated MC.
3. Press Install on Integrated MC by CraisinLord. The search also lists separate packs with similar names, such as Chosen's Create: Integrated (by ChosenArchitect), so check the author. The window says it reinstalls your server and names Forge and Minecraft 1.20.1.
4. Leave Take a backup first ticked. Your current world is replaced by the pack's. Tick Start the server when it's ready if you want it to start itself, and tick I agree to the Minecraft EULA if the window shows it.
5. Press and hold the Hold to Install and reinstall button until it fills, then watch the Console until the install finishes.

The server files hold the mods and configs but no Forge. When the panel finds no launcher in the files, it reads variables.txt and installs the loader named there, so for 1.6.8 it sets up Forge 47.4.0. A newer file, 1.6.9, was at the top of the version menu when this was checked, and it installs Forge 47.4.28 instead. Check which file the menu has selected before you hold the button, because this guide and the player version it names are for 1.6.8.

First start

Press Start on the Console tab. If the EULA has not been accepted yet, the panel asks you to accept it first. The server is up when the console prints a line containing For help, type. Your address is in the left rail under Server address. Connect to your server for the first time covers adding it in Minecraft.

Before players arrive

The pack's own README.txt lists three important notes. The pack has many world-generation mods, so it recommends pre-generating the world before anyone plays. It says to set view distance and simulation distance between 6 and 12, and to lower simulation distance to 3 or 4 if the server peaks in RAM or CPU. It also sends crashes and bugs to the pack's Discord. Do the first two once the server has started and made its world.

• Pre-generate. The server files include Chunky. Chunky's wiki says its default selection is a square in the overworld, centred on 0, 0, with a radius of 500 blocks. With the server running, run chunky radius 1000 in the Console to widen it to 1000 blocks, then chunky start. chunky progress shows how far it has got. Pre-generate a world with Chunky covers radius and timing.
• Distances. Open the Config Editor, then set View distance (chunks) and Simulation distance (chunks) under Performance. The pack ships both at 10. Save and restart.

Common problems

• A player cannot join. Check they run Integrated MC 1.6.8 on Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge, then compare their mod list with the server's mods folder.
• The install stops while unpacking. Your plan's disk may be too small. Check Disk Analyser, clear space and install again.
• The server lags. The pack includes spark. Profile a modded server with spark shows how to find what is slow.
• The server crashes at boot. Find and read a crash report shows how to name the mod at fault. The pack's README.txt points to its Discord for crash help.
