Create a RLCraft server – play with friends

How to get your own RLCraft server: order it fully installed or install it yourself, recommended resources and tips for your friends.

2 minute read Updated 09.11.2026

Want to play RLCraft with friends? With your own server the world runs around the clock – even when you are offline.

The quickest way: order it fully installed

On the RLCraft server page you order a server on which the pack is installed and tested automatically. The right resources are already selected. After about 5–15 minutes you can play. Want to try first? You can also test the pack for 2 hours for free there.

Install it yourself

Already have a Minecraft server with us? Install RLCraft in one click:

  1. Server page → Installer → Modpacks.
  2. Search for "RLCraft".
  3. Keep the Backup box ticked and click Install.

We set the Minecraft version, loader and Java automatically. Mods that only work in the game are removed – see Why were mods removed?.

Tips

  • Older Minecraft version: RLCraft runs on 1.12.2 with Java 8. We set this up on the server automatically. The CurseForge app also picks the right Java on the PC automatically.
  • A world from newer Minecraft versions can't be opened in RLCraft – start with a new world.

Invite friends

Every player needs RLCraft in the same version as the server – easiest via the CurseForge app or the Modrinth app. See Playing a modpack with friends. Someone can't get in: Friends can't join.
