Your Refuge server, with the useful bits included.
Host your Refuge server
Host Refuge as a multiplayer server with CreeperHost and give your group a shared quest map that keeps running after everyone logs off. We handle the server-side chores while you focus on machinery, crops, storage systems, and whatever the map throws at you next.
- Install Refuge 1.1.7 without assembling its 1.7.10 files by hand.
- Keep the intended map online for players in different time zones.
- Avoid leaving a home PC running as automation expands.
- Get steadier performance than casual hosting when machines and entities accumulate.
- Manage mods, configs, worlds, and player data through CreeperPanel.
Refuge at a Glance
Refuge is a map-based, quest-led Forge pack for Minecraft 1.7.10, built from 52 mods. Its progression brings together established technology and resource systems rather than dropping players into an unstructured kitchen sink.
Applied Energistics 2, Ender IO, Thermal Expansion, MineFactory Reloaded, and Steve’s Factory Manager give your group plenty to automate. Botania, Agricraft, Magical Crops, and Tinkers’ Construct broaden the routes available, while Hardcore Questing Mode keeps the journey organised.
Our one-click installer puts the pack in place without hunting down legacy dependencies. If you later update through CreeperPanel, the update tools are designed to retain your configuration changes.
A Better Fit for a Shared World
Refuge works best when the server is treated as the group’s main copy of the map. Players can contribute at different times, return to machines that have continued working, and build shared storage rather than passing world files around.
Before major changes, take a backup. Map-based packs often keep important progression across world and player data, so restoring the complete server is safer than replacing individual files. CreeperPanel’s world and inventory tools also help when a player or map issue needs careful attention.
Hosting Considerations for Refuge
Refuge is not enormous by mod-count standards, but older Forge packs can still become CPU-sensitive as a world matures. Automation networks, item transport, crop systems, loaded areas, and loose entities commonly matter more than the number of players standing online.
For a small group, sensible machine layouts and regular restarts usually go a long way. As the base grows, avoid leaving unnecessary farms running continuously, keep dropped items under control, and investigate persistent tick lag before simply adding more memory.
Memory should leave room for Forge, the world, and active machinery without being set excessively high. Too much assigned memory can produce longer garbage-collection pauses on older Minecraft versions, so balanced settings generally beat choosing the largest number available.
For a long-running group server with extensive automation, we recommend our Premium range. It gives Refuge stronger headroom as bases become more complicated. Built-in diagnostics can help identify laggy dimensions, entities, or ticking blocks instead of relying on guesswork.
Run Refuge with CreeperHost
Our hybrid VPS platform delivers native CPU performance on modern Ryzen, EPYC, and Intel Ultra hardware—valuable for the main game thread used by Minecraft 1.7.10.
On eligible Premium services, Ask Theo can inspect the current server and panel state, explain likely problems, and prepare safe next steps for you to approve. When the server gets properly peculiar, our support team brings more than 13 years of modded Minecraft hosting experience to the conversation.
Got questions? 
Yes. CreeperHost modpack pages link into ordering with the selected pack ready to install. You can also change versions or pick another supported pack later from CreeperPanel.
CreeperPanel is built around real modded servers, including update paths that aim to preserve user configuration changes where supported instead of treating every update like a fresh install.
Eco can work for lighter packs, but Premium is the recommended CreeperHost range for modded Minecraft. Premium gives stronger hardware, Turbo Start, Bonus Memory, and Ask Theo where enabled.
