VerityCraft modpack Minecraft server

VerityCraft is a horror modpack for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge. Its CurseForge page describes dense fog, unsettling ambient sounds and strange encounters, with the aim of building suspense rather than constant jumpscares. You install the server from the Modpacks tab, using the pack's own server files.

Checked against VerityCraft 13.6.0 (the CurseForge file dated 20 October 2026) on Forge 47.4.20 and Minecraft 1.20.1, October 2026.

What the pack needs

• Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge 47.4.20. Both come from variables.txt in the server pack, and the panel picks Java 17 for them.
• Memory. CurseForge gives no figure. variables.txt sets -Xmx4G -Xms4G for the pack's own start scripts, but the panel sizes the heap from your plan instead, so that setting never applies. See how much RAM a Minecraft server needs when choosing a plan.
• Disk space. About 1.4 GB to download and about 1.5 GB unpacked, with both on your plan's disk during the unpack.
• Version for players. The author publishes a new file every few days, so players must match the version your server installs (13.6.0 when checked). If the popup shows a version dropdown, it starts on Newest that fits your server.

Install the server

In the search card of Modpacks, press the CurseForge button in the row of sources and search for VerityCraft. Pick the pack titled VerityCraft - A Realistic Horror Experience with Verity. Two other packs have similar names, Veritycraft By Kamerit and VerityCraft - Enhanced, and they are different projects. The popup names Forge and Minecraft 1.20.1. The backup, the EULA tick and the install button are covered in Install a CurseForge modpack. Then press Start on the Console and wait for For help, type.

The CurseForge file you are installing is the dedicated server pack, so no mods are fetched one by one. The pack ships no Forge files of its own, so the install reads variables.txt and sets Forge up itself.

Set up players before they join

The pack's page says Verity must be configured correctly before anyone starts playing, or some events, sounds and mechanics may not work. It links a video tutorial and says to follow it before creating a world. Pass the page's link on to everyone who joins.

Common problems

• A player is refused on join. Their VerityCraft version has to match the server's, on Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge. If it does, compare their mod list with the server's mods folder. A client set up wrongly for Verity (see above) is the other thing to rule out.
• The server crashes at boot. With a pack this size, the crash report is the quickest way to the culprit: find and read a crash report.
