FTB SkyFactory Challenges modpack Minecraft server

FTB SkyFactory Challenges is a Feed The Beast map for Minecraft 1.10.2 on Forge, built around the core Sky Factory gameplay with speedrunners in mind. Its page asks you to complete 20 objectives as fast as you can, in teams of up to four players. The Modpacks tab can install it from Feed The Beast's own source.

Checked against FTB SkyFactory Challenges 1.1.1 on Forge 12.18.3.2254 and Minecraft 1.10.2, October 2026.

Which SkyFactory this is

Feed The Beast lists several Sky Factory packs, and a search for SkyFactory returns three rows: FTB SkyFactory Challenges, FTB Presents Skyfactory 3 and FTB Presents Skyfactory 2.5. This guide covers only Challenges. For SkyFactory 2.5, 4, 5 and One, read Set up a SkyFactory server.

What the pack needs

• Minecraft 1.10.2, Forge 12.18.3.2254 and Java 8. These are the targets Feed The Beast lists for 1.1.1, its newest release. The panel picks Java 8 for any Minecraft version below 1.17.
• 4 GB of RAM. The pack's page lists 4 GB as both the minimum and the recommended amount. Compare that with your plan using how much RAM a Minecraft server needs and the Minecraft plans.
• The same version for players. They install FTB SkyFactory Challenges 1.1.1 from the FTB App, Feed The Beast's launcher.

Install from the Feed The Beast source

On the Modpacks tab, press the Feed The Beast chip and search for Challenges, which returns only this pack. Searches need at least three letters. If there is no Feed The Beast button, that source is not available on your account yet, and this route does not apply until it is. Pick FTB SkyFactory Challenges. Leave Keep my world, settings and player lists unticked, since this is a fresh install. If the window shows a note about your world in place of that tickbox, your world was saved by a newer Minecraft than this pack can open, so it is not kept, and your current world goes into the backup. The backup and the rest of the window are in Install an FTB modpack.

While it installs, the console prints Installing the FTB pack. This takes a few minutes. and ends with Pack installed.

First start

Press Start on the Console if you did not tick the start box. Installed from the Feed The Beast source, this pack reaches For help, type on its first start.

Feed The Beast's file list for 1.1.1 holds the pack's map under maps/ftbchallenges. The server does not load that map: it starts a new world named world. After the first start, World folder in Config Editor reads world, and maps/ftbchallenges stays in File Manager as installed.

To let teammates use commands, make them operators from the Players tab: open Operators and press Make operator.

Common problems

• A player cannot join. Check they run Minecraft 1.10.2 with FTB SkyFactory Challenges 1.1.1. Join a modded server from your launcher has the steps.
• The install stops part way. The Modpacks tab shows "The last install didn't finish" with Show install log and Retry install.
• The server crashes at boot. Find and read a crash report shows how to name the mod at fault.
