FTB Direwolf20 1.19 Server Hosting

Both are sandbox kitchen sinks with no quest book, so the decision is version and loader. The 1.19 pack is Forge on Minecraft 1.19.2 and has been settled since mid-2024. The 1.20 pack is NeoForge on 1.20.1. Pick 1.19 if your group wants that Minecraft version or a specific Forge mod, and 1.20 if you want the newer base.

6 GB, which is the figure FTB recommend for this pack against a 4 GB minimum. That covers around six players comfortably. Because there is no quest system running scripted checks in the background, the baseline sits a little lower than on FTB's questing packs of similar size, so most of the memory goes to what your group actually builds.

No. The Direwolf20 packs have never had one, and that is the design rather than an omission. Nothing directs your progression or gates mods behind tasks. The intended companion is Direwolf20's own YouTube series for this version, which your players can follow along with using the same mods. Groups who want a structured checklist should look at FTB's questing packs instead.

Check whether somebody is using a building or mining gadget. Placing or removing a large volume in one action produces a burst of block updates, and it is by far the most common cause of a brief hitch on this pack. It is not a fault and there is nothing to configure. If it becomes disruptive, ask people to do large terraforming jobs at quieter times.

FTB Chunks ships so that force-loaded chunks tick only while a member of that team is online. Set `force_load_mode` to `ALWAYS` in the `force_loading` group of the FTB Chunks server config and restart. On an existing world, edit the copy under `world/serverconfig` rather than the one in `defaultconfigs`, which only applies when a world is first created.

There is no Chunky in this pack, so use Forge's own command: `/forge generate ~ ~ ~ 20000`. The number is a total count of chunks rather than a radius, which is the opposite of how the NeoForge equivalent behaves, so it is easy to under-generate by mistake. Add the dimension argument for the Nether or the End and run it before your players join.
