FTB StoneBlock 3

FTB StoneBlock 3 drops you into a world of solid stone and asks you to build your way outward—starting with a tiny foothold and growing into a fully automated underground empire. It’s a guided, quest-driven sandbox with plenty to do at every stage: early survival and resource generation, midgame factories and logistics, and late-game progression that rewards smart infrastructure and teamwork.

• Fast setup for groups: get a Forge 1.18.2 server online quickly, with a clean baseline for friends to join immediately
• Built for always-on automation: CreeperHost hardware stays responsive when your base is running 24/7 processing and item movement
• Easy updates without breaking your tweaks: one-click modpack installs and updates designed to preserve config changes
• Practical tools for lag-hunting: built-in diagnostics help pinpoint the usual culprits (farms, chunkloaders, runaway machines)
• Reliable protection and uptime: stable hosting with DDoS protection for public or invite-only communities

A High-Level Overview of FTB StoneBlock 3

StoneBlock-style packs shine because they focus your gameplay. Instead of spreading out across a massive overworld, you grow a base in a compact space where every block placement matters. That tight footprint makes multiplayer especially fun: friends naturally build close together, collaborate on shared automation, and progress through quests without anyone feeling “left behind.”

What you’ll spend most of your time doing

• Building an efficient early-game starter area that can scale
• Expanding into layered “base floors” for machines, storage, and processing
• Automating resource generation and crafting chains
• Exploring pack-specific structures and progression beats as you gear up

Why CreeperHost Works So Well for StoneBlock-Style Servers

Before you even worry about fine-tuning performance, the biggest win is consistency: StoneBlock servers usually run a lot of continuous activity—machines ticking, items moving, and farms processing while players are online (and sometimes while they’re not).

CreeperHost’s Hybrid VPS platform is designed for that steady load, delivering stable performance rather than “bursty” speed that fades once the base grows. Combined with modern, liquid-cooled Ryzen/EPYC/Intel Ultra hardware optimized for modded Minecraft, you get the responsive tick stability StoneBlock communities appreciate most.

Hosting Considerations for FTB StoneBlock 3

StoneBlock servers tend to be “quiet” in world size, but “busy” in simulation. In practice, that means CPU consistency and enough memory headroom matter more than raw disk space.

Typical performance patterns we see

• Automation is the real load: large crafting networks, processing lines, and constant item transport can add up fast.
• Player count scales differently: 6–10 players building in one area can be heavier than 20 players spread out, because everyone’s interacting with the same ticking base.
• Chunkloading needs restraint: keeping too many chunks active is one of the fastest ways to create persistent TPS drops.

Recommended starting resources (common starting point)

• RAM: 6–8 GB for small groups; 8–10 GB if you expect heavy automation or a larger active playerbase
• CPU: prioritize higher per-core performance for smoother tick time under load
• Storage: modest requirements, but ensure you have room for backups over time

Simple operational tips that keep servers healthy

• Keep automation compact and intentional (fewer “always-on” lines)
• Prefer upgrades that reduce entity spam (loose item stacks, excessive moving parts)
• Schedule regular backups and don’t let old ones pile up indefinitely

Practice-Focused Hosting Advantages (What You’ll Notice Day-to-Day)

One-click install and safer updates

Spin up FTB StoneBlock 3 quickly, then update without losing the server-side configuration adjustments you’ve made for your community.

Admin-friendly control without guesswork

Use GUI-based mod and config management to adjust common settings and keep changes organized—especially helpful when multiple admins share duties.

Faster troubleshooting when things get “laggy”

CreeperHost includes built-in tooling to diagnose lag and performance issues, so you can move from “the server feels slow” to concrete actions—like identifying overloaded areas, reducing chunkloaded activity, or reworking a problematic farm.

Ready to Build Underground—with Friends

FTB StoneBlock 3 is at its best when the server feels steady and responsive while your base grows from a cramped starter hole into an industrial underground city. If you want a host that’s comfortable with long-running automation and real multiplayer progression, CreeperHost is a dependable home for the pack.
