This guide describes how to run FTB server installer on ARM.

Guide is not supported by FTB team.

OS bitness

If you are running 32-bit OS modded MC probably will not work unless if running most lightweight packs.

FAQ

Q: Can I run MC on RPi / I saw videos someone running MC on RPi A Running MC server/client is not officially on ARM is not officially supported by Mojang or by FTB Team.

Q: But running it is possible. I have links as proof: link1, link2, ... and linkn A: Changing game is technically possible but RPi is underpowered for real modded MC usage. You are free to experimnet with those guide, but FTB does not support RPi.

Q: But I want A: Support for ARM will be reconsidered when base game supports ARM and there is enough userbase with device capable to run modded MC properly.

Pack download using RPi only

Pack download using other machine

If compiling or running emulator or installer fails, it is possible to run installer in some other machine.

  • Download server installer using tools provided by operating system
  • Run installer
  • Copy directory created by server installer into RPi with SCP or some other tool

Starting the server

Game might start by running:

  • sh start.sh
  • You are on your own from this moment.

Support

  • No support will be given if you should run game with emulator or natively. It's your choice.
  • No support will be given if some of the mods requires JNA or JNI.
  • No support will be given if underpowered system has poor perfomance as modded MC server. Using RPi as server host was your choice.
