Minecraft Your favorite CurseForge modpack is now a pick on the order form. Choose the pack, choose your plan, and your server is delivered with the pack installed and ready to go. Open the panel, press Start, and you are playing.
This is not a new trick for our control panel. The Game Control Panel has installed modpacks in one click for a long time, and it still does. What is new is the front door: you no longer have to order a blank server and install the pack afterward. You pick the pack while you place the order, and we set the mod loader, the pack version, and the Java runtime for you before the server is handed over.
What’s New
The same modpacks our panel installs are now on the order form itself. Instead of ordering a server and then opening the Modpack Manager, you select your pack during checkout. The server arrives with the pack already installed, the correct loader in place, and the right Java version set for you. All that is left is to press Start.
That last part matters more than it sounds. The most common reason a modpack server fails to boot on the first try is a Java or mod loader mismatch. Picking your pack on the order form takes that off your plate before the server ever starts.
How It Works
The order form carries the full range now: every major loader (Paper, Purpur, Spigot, Forge, Fabric, NeoForge, and Vanilla), Minecraft versions from 1.8.8 through the latest release, and the entire modpack catalog. That is close to 600 options in one place.
Pick your pack, or pick a specific loader and version, then choose your RAM and location and check out. We provision the server with the pack installed and the matching Java version configured. You open the panel, press Start, and the server is live. No hunting for a server pack on CurseForge, no ZIP uploads, no guessing which Java build a pack needs.
Already have a server?
You do not need to reorder. The Modpack Manager in the Game Control Panel installs any catalog pack on an existing server in one click, exactly as it always has. The order form is simply a faster starting point for a new server.
The Packs
The modpack catalog lists 275+ CurseForge packs, each with its own page, a recommended RAM range, and a one-click order button. A few worth calling out:
RLCraft is the hardcore survival pack that made “Minecraft but punishing” a genre. It runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.12.2: 185+ mods, dragons, temperature mechanics, and a death screen you will see a lot. 6-8GB handles most groups.
All the Mods 10 (ATM10) is one of the largest kitchen-sink packs available, with 400+ mods on NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1. Tech, magic, automation, and exploration across a massive quest tree. Start with 10-12GB and size up from there.
Pixelmon brings the full Pokemon experience inside Minecraft: catching, battling, breeding, and gym content on NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1. It supports larger player counts than most modpacks because the core gameplay is lighter on server resources than automation-heavy packs.
Better MC is the pack to recommend when someone says “I want modded but I do not want to feel lost.” Enhanced biomes, more dungeons, better structures, and quality-of-life improvements: vanilla Minecraft with more to find. It comes in multiple editions across Forge, NeoForge, and Fabric.
Browse the full catalog at /games/minecraft/modpacks, filtered by Minecraft version if you already know what your group wants to run.
Changing or Customizing Your Pack
Want a different pack later, or something the catalog does not list? You have options:
- Switch to another catalog pack: open the Modpack Manager under Tools in the Game Control Panel, find the pack, and install it. See the switching between modpacks guide for what to back up first.
- Run a custom or unlisted pack: upload your own pack files to the server through the file manager. The CurseForge modpack guide walks through it.
- Stuck on any step: open a support ticket and our team will help you get it running.
Why This Fits Modpacks
Modpacks are demanding in two ways most shared hosts handle poorly, and both are covered here.
Version configuration is the first. The right Java build, the right loader, the right pack version: any mismatch means troubleshooting before your group has played. Setting all of that at order time removes the most common first-boot failure.
CPU is the second. Heavily modded servers run automation, dozens of new entity types, and custom worldgen that generate far more work per chunk than vanilla. Hosts that oversell CPU choke when a pack spikes during chunk loading or mid-session automation bursts. WinterNode does not cap CPU. Your server uses what it needs when it needs it.
RAM is what modpacks actually consume, and it is what you pay for: every WinterNode Minecraft plan is $1.99/GB with unmetered storage. Each pack page lists a recommended RAM range. A 10GB All the Mods 10 server runs $19.90/month, and a 6GB Better MC server runs $11.94/month.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pick your modpack on the order form, choose your RAM and location, and check out. Your server is delivered with the pack installed, the correct mod loader in place, and the matching Java version already set. You open the panel and press Start. There is nothing to download or configure first.
The install itself is not new. Our Game Control Panel has installed modpacks in one click for a long time, and it still does. What is new is that you can now pick your pack right on the order form, so a brand new server arrives with the pack already installed instead of you installing it afterward.
No. When you choose a pack or a Minecraft version on the order form, we set the matching Java version for you, so the server starts cleanly without a version mismatch. That is the part that most often trips people up when they set a modpack server up by hand.
The catalog includes 275+ CurseForge modpacks, including RLCraft, All the Mods 10, Pixelmon, and Better Minecraft. Browse the full list and filter by Minecraft version at winternode.com/games/minecraft/modpacks. These are the same packs the Modpack Manager installs from inside the panel.
Yes. Use the Modpack Manager in the Game Control Panel to switch to any catalog pack in one click. If your pack is not in the catalog or you have a custom build, upload your own pack files to the server. If you get stuck at any point, open a support ticket and our team will help.
