What it does

Minecraft Modpack Server is an agent skill from taracodlabs/aiden. Set up a modded Minecraft server (NeoForge or Forge)

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill.json`).

The repository describes itself as: Aiden — an autonomous AI agent and work engine built solo. It can operate your browser, terminal, files, apps, APIs, skills and tools, remember context, recover from failures… The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

“/minecraft-modpack-server”

Workflow steps

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

Prerequisites
Install NeoForge server
Accept the EULA
Create an optimized startup script
Add mods to the server
Install a CurseForge modpack
Configure server.properties
Start the server

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3704204. 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:
- java
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- adoptium.net
- neoforged.net
- maven.neoforged.net
- cdn.modrinth.com
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 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 269 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.1k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

Modded Minecraft Server Setup

Set up and manage a NeoForge or Forge modded Minecraft server on Windows. Covers server installation, modpack configuration, memory tuning, and startup automation.

When to Use

User wants to run a modded Minecraft server locally or on a VPS
User wants to install a CurseForge or Modrinth modpack on a server
User wants to configure server memory and JVM flags
User wants to automate server startup with a batch script
User wants to manage mods — add, remove, or update individual mods

How to Use

1. Prerequisites

powershell

# Verify Java 21+ is installed (required for 1.20.x+)
java -version
# Install from: https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?version=21

# Create server directory
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path "C:\mc-server" -Force
Set-Location "C:\mc-server"

2. Install NeoForge server

powershell

# Download NeoForge installer from https://neoforged.net/
# Get the installer for your Minecraft version
$neoforgeVersion = "21.1.99"   # replace with desired version
$installerUrl    = "https://maven.neoforged.net/releases/net/neoforged/neoforge/$neoforgeVersion/neoforge-$neoforgeVersion-installer.jar"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $installerUrl -OutFile "neoforge-installer.jar"

# Run installer (creates server files)
java -jar neoforge-installer.jar --installServer

3. Accept the EULA

powershell

# Required before server will start
Set-Content -Path "eula.txt" -Value "eula=true"

4. Create an optimized startup script

powershell

# start.bat — save in C:\mc-server\
$startBat = @'
@echo off
java -Xmx6G -Xms2G ^
  -XX:+UseG1GC ^
  -XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled ^
  -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 ^
  -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=16M ^
  -XX:G1ReservePercent=25 ^
  -jar libraries/net/neoforged/neoforge/21.1.99/neoforge-21.1.99-server.jar ^
  nogui
pause
'@
Set-Content -Path "C:\mc-server\start.bat" -Value $startBat

Adjust -Xmx (max RAM) and -Xms (initial RAM) based on available system memory.

5. Add mods to the server

powershell

# Mods go in the mods/ directory
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "C:\mc-server\mods"

# Download a mod from Modrinth (example: Fabric API replacement for NeoForge)
$modUrl = "https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/AANobbMI/versions/xxxxx/mod-name.jar"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $modUrl -OutFile "C:\mc-server\mods\mod-name.jar"

# List installed mods
Get-ChildItem "C:\mc-server\mods" -Filter "*.jar" | Select-Object Name, Length

6. Install a CurseForge modpack

powershell

# 1. Download the server pack ZIP from CurseForge (not the client pack)
# 2. Extract to server directory
Expand-Archive -Path "modpack-server.zip" -DestinationPath "C:\mc-server" -Force

# 3. Run the modpack's install script (varies by pack)
Set-Location "C:\mc-server"
.\startserver.sh   # or start.bat depending on the pack

7. Configure server.properties

powershell

# Key settings in server.properties
$config = @"
max-players=10
difficulty=normal
spawn-protection=0
view-distance=10
online-mode=true
motd=My Modded Server
"@
Add-Content -Path "C:\mc-server\server.properties" -Value $config

8. Start the server

powershell

Set-Location "C:\mc-server"
.\start.bat

Examples

"Set up a NeoForge 1.21.1 server with 8GB RAM" → Use steps 1–4. Adjust -Xmx8G in the startup script.

"Add the Create mod to my existing server" → Use step 5 — download the Create jar for NeoForge from Modrinth and place in mods/.

"Install the All The Mods 9 server pack" → Use step 6 — download the ATM9 server pack ZIP from CurseForge and extract with step 6.

Cautions

Always use the NeoForge/Forge version that matches your target Minecraft version exactly
Client mods (rendering, shaders, HUD) must NOT be placed on the server — server-side only mods apply
Increase -Xmx proportional to mod count — large packs (200+ mods) need at least 8-12GB
online-mode=true requires all players to have a paid Minecraft account (prevents cracked clients)
Back up the world/ directory regularly — server crashes can corrupt world data
