FTB StoneBlock 4

FTB StoneBlock 4 drops you into a world where everything begins underground: no surface, no easy resets—just stone, progression, and a steady march from improvised survival to fully automated production. It’s a guided, quest-driven pack that blends tech, magic, and structured exploration, with curated challenge spaces and a central progression “engine” that keeps your server’s goals focused even as your base grows.

• Stable performance for long-running worlds on hardware that stays smooth once automation ramps up
• NeoForge + 1.21.1 ready with fast, reliable installs and straightforward updates
• Config-preserving modpack updates so your tuned settings don’t get stomped
• Built-in lag diagnostics support when farms, chunkloaders, and factories get ambitious
• Plays great with friends: teamwork progression without the “who broke the server?” headaches

Overview: What makes FTB StoneBlock 4 different

StoneBlock 4 is designed around progression and pacing. Players start constrained, then unlock capabilities in layers—meaning your server’s resource generation, power networks, and storage systems expand steadily rather than all at once.

The gameplay loop you’ll feel on a server

• Structured quests and milestones that keep groups aligned and reduce “what do we do now?” downtime
• Handcrafted challenge/exploration content that breaks up base-building and encourages coordinated runs
• Automation-forward endgame where throughput, logistics, and performance-friendly layouts matter

This is the kind of pack where the server becomes the long-term home: the base turns into an engineered space, and the fun is in making it efficient, scalable, and multiplayer-proof.

Why CreeperHost is a strong fit for StoneBlock 4

StoneBlock-style packs tend to evolve from “a few machines” to “a full factory,” which means consistent CPU performance and predictable tick stability matter more than raw peak specs.

What you get that matters for this pack

• Hybrid VPS platform tuned for modded Minecraft: stable performance characteristics that hold up as your world grows.
• Ryzen / EPYC / Intel Ultra-based nodes (liquid-cooled) that handle automation-heavy bases more comfortably under load.
• One-click modpack installs and updates designed to preserve your configuration changes, so server-side tuning survives version bumps.
• Lag and performance tooling built in, so you can quickly identify the usual culprits (runaway farms, overloaded chunks, poorly-contained entity systems) and fix them before players feel it.

Hosting Considerations for FTB StoneBlock 4

StoneBlock 4 is typically steady early, then becomes resource-dense and automation-heavy as players scale. Plan for growth from day one.

Memory (RAM) expectations

• Small groups often run well with a moderate allocation, but expect usage to climb as players add machines, storage networks, and chunk activity.
• Bigger communities should budget extra headroom—not just for the mod count, but for the world activity you’ll create (mob systems, item transport, processing lines, and multi-machine setups).

If you’re aiming for smooth performance, it’s better to run with comfortable headroom than to ride the limit and trigger garbage-collection spikes during peak activity.

CPU load patterns (tick-time)

Common causes of late-game slowdown in packs like this:

• High-throughput automation (constant crafting, processing, and item movement)
• Entity build-up (especially in poorly-contained farms)
• Overly “busy” chunks with multiple systems competing for ticks

Good news: because StoneBlock worlds concentrate players into a relatively tight area, you can often get excellent performance by keeping builds organized and avoiding uncontrolled entity spill.

A key server setting to confirm

StoneBlock 4 commonly depends on certain scripted/structure behaviors. For best results, double-check that command blocks are enabled in your server settings before you launch a public world—this prevents avoidable “features not working” reports later.

Recommended setup for a smooth community server

For 1–3 players

• Prioritize consistent CPU performance and give yourself RAM headroom for midgame automation.

For 4–10 players

• Expect more concurrent chunk activity and parallel progression.
• Encourage players to centralize or thoughtfully separate heavy automation to reduce “everyone’s base is a lag base” moments.

For 10+ players or public servers

• Plan rules early (entity limits, chunkloading expectations, responsible farm design).
• Use CreeperHost diagnostics to stay ahead of issues before they become wipes or resets.
