Castaway - Lost in the Seas

Castaway - Lost in the Seas is a survival-first adventure modpack built around an ocean-dominated world: long stretches of open water, underwater points of interest, and the constant pressure of staying supplied while you push farther from “safe” ground. It’s designed for exploration-driven multiplayer, where the sea itself is the challenge—and the route to progression.

• Fast, stable performance for exploration-heavy gameplay on CreeperHost’s modded-optimised hardware
• One-click install & straightforward updates that help keep your server consistent across versions
• Reliable chunk-loading during boat travel and underwater dives, even with multiple players scouting different directions
• Built-in tools to spot lag sources when worldgen, mobs, or player spread start to bite
• Operational reliability + DDoS protection for always-on community servers

A High-Level Overview of the Modpack

This pack is built for players who want survival to feel uncertain again—where navigation matters, resources aren’t always nearby, and every expedition needs planning. The focus is on ocean exploration, underwater danger, and scattered landfalls rather than settling into a single biome and “solving” the early game in an hour.

On a server, Castaway tends to create great group roles naturally:

• Scouts charting islands and points of interest
• Divers tackling underwater structures and bringing back loot
• Builders turning rare land into a defensible base and port
• Suppliers keeping food, tools, and basic materials flowing

Where CreeperHost makes an immediate difference

Exploration packs live or die by how they feel when several players roam at once. CreeperHost’s Hybrid VPS platform is built for the reality of modded servers: consistent CPU performance, stable scheduling under load, and the headroom you need when world generation and entity activity spike during big expeditions.

Hosting Considerations for Castaway - Lost in the Seas

Ocean-heavy packs are often smoother than dense, land-based worldgen—until players spread out. Then servers typically feel the pressure in short bursts.

Memory (RAM) expectations

Most groups have a solid experience with 6–8 GB RAM for a small server, and 8–12 GB if you expect:

• 8–15+ players online together
• multiple teams exploring in different directions
• frequent teleports between distant bases

If you’re unsure, start at 8 GB and scale up—Castaway’s style of play can accelerate world size and activity quickly.

CPU and “exploration spikes”

The biggest performance swings usually happen when:

• several players generate new chunks at the same time
• underwater areas concentrate entities and combat
• players travel quickly and keep the world constantly loading

CreeperHost servers are designed to handle these bursts well, but it’s still smart to encourage:

• one shared early base, then expansion
• exploration in squads, not everyone in separate oceans
• keeping view-distance sensible for your player count

World size & storage

Because progression pushes players to roam, worlds can grow faster than you expect. Plan for:

• regular automated backups
• enough storage headroom for a world that expands steadily week-over-week

If your community likes to “map everything,” having a cleanup and backup routine from day one saves headaches later.

Why CreeperHost is a great fit for this modpack

Modded-first infrastructure that stays responsive

Castaway’s gameplay leans on movement, discovery, and frequent transitions between areas. Our liquid-cooled Ryzen / EPYC / Intel Ultra-based nodes are selected and tuned with modded tick stability in mind—so busy moments (new chunks, fights, group travel) stay playable.

Simple operations for admins (and painless updates)

Running a modpack server shouldn’t mean babysitting config files every time you update. CreeperHost’s modpack tooling focuses on quick deployments and clean updates, while helping preserve the changes you’ve made for your community.

Support that understands modded communities

With 13+ years hosting large modded servers, we’ve seen what actually causes the classic “it was fine yesterday” problems: player spread, runaway entities, over-aggressive view distance, and poorly timed restarts. When you need to stabilise a world, our built-in diagnostics and experienced support help you get there quickly—without wiping progress.
