FTB NeoTech

FTB NeoTech is a modern, engineering-first modpack built for players who want their world to run like a factory floor: automated mining and processing, scalable power, and clean storage/logistics that can grow from a starter workshop into a full industrial network. With NeoForge on Minecraft 1.20.4, it’s a great fit for groups that enjoy building long-term infrastructure and seeing tangible progression in how efficiently they produce resources.

• Fast, steady performance for heavy automation on our hybrid VPS platform—ideal for factory-style bases and always-on processing
• One-click modpack install + straightforward updates that preserve your important config changes and server tweaks
• Ryzen/EPYC/Intel Ultra hosting built for modded where tick stability matters more than raw player count
• Built-in lag diagnostics tooling to help you isolate machines, chunkloaders, or farms that are dragging TPS down
• Operational reliability + DDoS protection so your power grid and logistics don’t go offline mid-project

High-Level Overview

NeoTech’s core loop is about turning time into throughput. You’ll start with modest machines and manual steps, then push toward:

• Automated ore acquisition and processing (quarries, miners, and production chains)
• Upgradeable power generation and distribution
• Structured item storage and autocrafting so complex builds stay manageable
• Multiplayer-friendly progression, where teams can specialize (power, mining, logistics, factory design)

If your group likes planning production lines, optimizing layouts, and building systems that keep working while you explore or expand, NeoTech is designed for that playstyle.

Why NeoTech Works Especially Well on CreeperHost

Running an automation-heavy pack isn’t only about “more RAM”—it’s about consistent CPU time, stable tick performance, and having the right tools when one subsystem starts misbehaving.

Built for tick-stable modded play

NeoTech-style servers typically spend their time budget on machine logic, item transport, block updates, and chunk activity. CreeperHost’s liquid-cooled Ryzen/EPYC/Intel Ultra nodes and hybrid VPS platform are tuned for the kind of steady, sustained performance modded communities need.

Practical tooling when TPS drops

When a factory gets big, it’s normal for one dimension, a chunkloaded area, or a specific automation line to become the hotspot. Our lag and performance diagnostics tooling helps you pinpoint the cause quickly—so you can fix the problem instead of guessing.

Hosting Considerations for FTB NeoTech

Memory (RAM) expectations

Tech packs are generally smooth to host, but they can become memory-hungry once players scale up machines, storage networks, and exploration.

• Small groups / early-to-mid game: 6–8 GB is commonly comfortable
• Active multiplayer with multiple large bases: 8–10 GB is a safer baseline
• Late-game factories, chunkloading, and big storage networks: 10–12 GB helps keep headroom

If you’re seeing frequent garbage collection pauses or “can’t keep up” messages during peak activity, it’s often a sign you need either more headroom or to reduce always-loaded automation.

CPU and tick time: what usually causes lag

In NeoTech-style worlds, server load typically comes from:

• Large, always-running processing lines
• High-frequency item movement (lots of moving stacks, not just total items stored)
• Chunkloading across multiple machines and dimensions
• Quarries/miners left unattended while running at maximum speed

A good rule: prioritize “fewer, smarter systems” over duplicating the same machine chain in every chunk.

Worldgen and exploration

Exploration-driven terrain mods can create short-lived spikes when players generate new chunks quickly (especially with elytra-style movement or multiple explorers). Pre-generating a region for events or new seasons can make day-one multiplayer feel much smoother.

Recommended Setup for a Smooth Multiplayer Server

Keep your factory organized—and your server will thank you

• Centralize heavy processing where possible
• Avoid excessive chunkloading “just in case”
• Use autocrafting and storage networks thoughtfully to reduce constant background churn

Use updates strategically

When you update modpacks, performance or recipe changes can shift what players build. CreeperHost’s one-click modpack updates are designed to keep the process simple while preserving the configurations that make your server feel like your server.
