How To Make A Skyfactory 5 Server

What is Skyfactory 5?

Want to have some fun time with your friends? Skyfactory 5 is a “skyblock”-style Minecraft modpack that launches you onto a small platform high above the void, armed only with a single tree and a chunk of dirt, and is a frequently updated modpack to help ensure the best experience and switch over to the updated versions in just a few clicks. Over the course of dozens of hours, you’ll expand your island, automate resource production, and unlock powerful machines—all without touching the ground.

In this guide page, we'll help you understand how to make a SkyFactory 5 server without any problems. Once you've followed this guide carefully, you'll be ready to start your new game server! This modpack won't need powerful hardware as other modpacks might need a much more powerful one.
