Can I run FTB OceanBlock on the free tier?

Not well. The free tier has 3.5 GB RAM and this pack wants 6 GB. A free server will start, but it will stall or run out of memory under load. Use the Stone plan ($5.49/mo).

Which Minecraft version and loader does FTB OceanBlock use?

Forge on Minecraft 1.16.5. Players need the matching pack version in their launcher; the server and client must agree.

Can I add or remove mods?

Yes. You have full file access, so you can add mods to the mods folder or remove them. Players must have the same client-side mods; server-only mods (admin tools, performance mods) do not need to be installed by players.

Will updating the pack break my world?

Minor updates within the same Minecraft version are usually safe; take a backup first from the panel. Jumping to a new Minecraft version usually means a new world, because mods change their blocks and items.

Where should the server be located?

Pick the region closest to most players: Enzonic runs in the United States, Spain, London, Frankfurt, Bengaluru and Singapore. The locations pages estimate the ping from your city.

Hosting notes for FTB OceanBlock

What to expect when FTB OceanBlock runs on a shared server rather than your own PC.

Ocean world-gen is cheap; 6 GB is enough for a small team.
Java 8 or 11; the Forge template picks it.

How installation works on Enzonic

Create a Forge server in the panel, then use the modpack installer to pick FTB OceanBlock by name, or upload the pack's server files over SFTP or the file manager. The panel sets the Java version the pack needs and writes the start command for you.

After the first start, tune view-distance and simulation-distance in server.properties (8 to 10 is a good start for modded), set up scheduled backups, and pre-generate chunks if the pack is world-gen heavy.

Questions

We suggest 6 GB for a small group. That is our recommendation from running modded servers, not a figure from the pack authors; a large modpack with many online players can need more. Upgrading later is a prorated plan change in the panel and keeps your world.
