SevTech: Ages Server Hosting

The pack asks for `quark_realistic`, set as the `level-type` in server.properties before the world is first generated. A default world will still run, but the terrain will not match what the pack was built around. Because the world type is fixed at generation, getting this wrong means deleting the world to fix it, so check it before anyone builds anything.

No, and this is one of SevTech's best multiplayer qualities. Progression is tracked per player rather than per server, so a newcomer starts in the first age and works forward at their own pace regardless of how far the rest of you have gone. If your group would rather advance together, the pack includes Together Forever so players can form teams and sync progression deliberately.

8 GB for a group of around six. It is a large 1.12.2 pack, and the gating system adds custom logic on top of the mod list. Because it runs on Java 8, adding memory well beyond that tends to make garbage collection pauses worse rather than better, so if the server feels slow, look at chunkloading and worldgen before you look at the number.

That is the pack, not a broken install. SevTech hides ore until you have unlocked it, and conceals items and recipes based on how far you have progressed. You also start with no map and no tooltip mod. Working through the advancement tree reveals them, one age at a time. If a new player thinks their game is broken, this is usually what they have run into.

It is the pack we would least recommend it on. The whole experience depends on carefully gated recipes and hidden progression, and adding a mod that provides materials or recipes out of order can quietly skip whole ages for your players. If you do, back up first, keep it to cosmetic or utility additions, and give every player the identical files.

For a group that wants a long, structured climb, yes. It is finished rather than abandoned, which means a world you start now will not be disrupted by updates, and the per-player progression handles people joining at different times better than most quest packs. What you accept in return is Minecraft 1.12.2 and a deliberately slow, primitive opening.
