    Hi. I just wanted to know if I could get some help with starting my Sky Factory 3 server. The server is stuck on the starting status and after some time it just stops without opening. I've tested other packs like Sky factory 2.5 and that works fine. I've also reinstalled the server multiple times to no avail. Any help would be a appreciated.

    I have tried reinstalling the server and it still takes too long to start. It times out and starting shutting down after a short while. Any solutions to this or is this mod pack not supposed to work? Does having some combination of settings not work because i don't have any sort of plugins installed? This is just speculation but I've noticed that the server is only allowed to mine 1.1GB of memory for that mod pack while it requires at least 4-7GB to run on a single player. Could that be the problem for the long load time is that the server runs out of memory before it can initialize all the mods and therefore shuts down?

    Thank you for the help I will test it and respond later.


    EDIT: Thanks for the help the server starts properly now.


    EDIT2: Just a general question For the mod pack itself. Will aternos be updating the modpack through its minor stability and bug fixes? Through personal experience i find that versions 3.0.5 and up work a bit better in performance.

    I have the exact same problem, but for me it still doesn't wanna start up. Every time I see starting..., it takes like 5 minutes and after that the server automatically stops itself. I've also tried reinstalling it, but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?


    EDIT: When it's starting... and I log on to minecraft and try to join the server with ip myname.aternos.me it says 'Old' and it has a 'V' of vanilla. I don't know if that has anything to do with it? The server doesn't reach the 'Online' status on aternos though
    I have this quick screen in between starting... and stopping... but i can't log in

    I've tried everything, the only thing that might be the issue is the version of SkyFactory. I started SkyFactory 3.0.4 in Curse, because that was the recommended version and it just worked fine with Aternos although on Aternos it said 3.0.5
    Since today I can only play on a SkyFactory server from Aternos when I'm using SkyFactory 3.0.5. Is there any way to convert my world from SkyFactory 3.0.4 to 3.0.5 so it might work again?
