What other mods it needs

The latest version of Tectonic (NeoForge) needs these mods. No need to hunt them down: the panel adds them for you.

How to add Tectonic to your server

  1. Open the panel and create a world with a compatible loader and Minecraft version (Fabric, NeoForge and Forge, per the table above), or open one you already have.
  2. In the world's "Mods" section, search for Tectonic in the Modrinth catalog. You'll only see what works with your world.
  3. Add it with the "Server and players" option, the one the panel suggests for this mod.
  4. Start or restart the server so it installs along with its dependencies.
  5. Ask your friends to download the .mrpack modpack from the panel again.
