What it does

Minecraft Modpack Server is an agent skill from RedWoodOG/Hermes-Desktop. Set up a modded Minecraft server from a CurseForge/Modrinth server pack zip. Covers NeoForge/Forge install, Java version, JVM tuning, firewall, LAN config, backups, and launch scripts.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Backup and disaster recovery. It works with Java.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Backup and disaster recovery

Example prompts

  • “/minecraft-modpack-server”

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Download & Inspect the Pack
  2. Install Java
  3. Install the Mod Loader
  4. Accept EULA
  5. Configure server.properties
  6. Tune JVM Args (user_jvm_args.txt)
  7. Open Firewall
  8. Create Launch Script
  9. Set Up Automated Backups

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit be46b39. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • apt
    • java
    • wget
    • bash

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use wget, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Minecraft Modpack Server loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 461 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:44
    - Minecraft 1.21+ → Java 21: `sudo apt install openjdk-21-jre-headless`
  • NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:45
    - Minecraft 1.18-1.20 → Java 17: `sudo apt install openjdk-17-jre-headless`
  • NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:46
    - Minecraft 1.16 and below → Java 8: `sudo apt install openjdk-8-jre-headless`

    sudo ufw allow 25565/tcp comment "Minecraft Server"
  • NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:126
    Check with: `sudo ufw status | grep 25565`

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 461 words (~1,657 tokens).
