Which Minecraft version and loader to play it on

How much RAM Flooded City needs

Medium (8 GB). Its latest version ships at least 35 mods from Modrinth; on top of that, its file weighs 47.1 MB, a sign it bundles extra mods or resources inside the pack, so we suggest going one size up. Medium modpacks, up to ~8 players.

How to set up your Flooded City server

Create your account, top up your balance and create a Medium server.
Create the world with Forge as the loader and Minecraft 1.20.1 as the version.
In "Mods", add Flooded City's mods from the Modrinth catalog (the list is in the dependencies tab of its Modrinth page). The catalog only shows what works with your world, and the panel installs the right version of each mod along with its libraries.
Start the server. The first boot takes a bit longer because it downloads and installs the mods.
Your friends download the .mrpack modpack from the panel in one click and import it in the Modrinth App or Prism Launcher.
Share the server address and you're in: they join through Multiplayer.

Frequently asked questions

Which Minecraft version does Flooded City need?

Flooded City has versions for Forge: 1.20.1. The newest is "Flooded City 1.0.0" (March 15, 2024). Create your world with Forge and Minecraft 1.20.1: that's the combo its latest release is built for.

Can I change the server's Minecraft version later?

Yes, upward: when Flooded City ships a newer version, you update and the panel backs up your world first. Going back down isn't possible, because Minecraft can't open worlds saved on a newer version; to play an older one, create another world.

How much RAM does a Flooded City server need?

We recommend a Medium server with 8 GB. Its latest version ships at least 35 mods from Modrinth; on top of that, its file weighs 47.1 MB, a sign it bundles extra mods or resources inside the pack, so we suggest going one size up. If lots of people play at once or you explore a ton, size up from the panel without losing your world.

Do my friends have to install Flooded City to join?

Yes: every player needs Flooded City in their Minecraft, on the same versions as the server. The easiest way is to import the modpack in the Modrinth App or Prism Launcher. If you build the server from the panel's catalog, the .mrpack they download has exactly the same mods.

How much does a Flooded City server cost?

With a Medium server and 10 hours of play a week, about $195.33 MXN a month, storage included. With 5 hours, about $122.53 MXN. You only pay while the server is on; if nobody's playing, it shuts itself off.

Can I play Flooded City on an offline-mode (non-premium) server?

Yes. Offline mode is a server setting, not a modpack one: you turn it on in the panel's "Access" tab. Use it with the whitelist on and no operators, because in that mode the server doesn't verify who each player is.
