Your The Ferret Business server, with the useful bits included.
Host your The Ferret Business server
Host The Ferret Business as a multiplayer server with CreeperHost and give your group a shared world for its quests, machinery, magic, and exploration—without leaving one player’s computer running all week.
- One-click installation gets the correct Forge pack onto your server quickly.
- Premium is our recommended range for this large, long-running modpack.
- Home connections can struggle once exploration and chunk generation gather pace.
- Casual hosting becomes awkward as automation, loaded chunks, and world backups accumulate.
- CreeperPanel gives you practical tools for managing mods, configs, players, and worlds.
The Ferret Business Overview
The Ferret Business is a substantial Minecraft 1.7.10 Forge pack built around progression on an unfamiliar world. Its 154 mods combine guided quests with exploration, industrial systems, magical research, farming, storage, and construction.
You can build interconnected production lines with mods such as BuildCraft, Ender IO, Immersive Engineering, Big Reactors, and Thermal Dynamics. Applied Energistics additions support growing storage networks, while Botania, Blood Magic, Thaumcraft, and Witchery offer several magical paths. Forestry, Gendustry, Railcraft, RFTools, and ComputerCraft add yet more projects for a group to divide—or argue—over.
CreeperPanel can install the pack in one click. If you later apply a supported pack update, your configuration changes are preserved rather than casually overwritten.
Hosting Considerations for The Ferret Business
This is an extra-large 1.7.10 pack, so we normally treat it as a heavier server rather than a lightweight world for occasional play. Premium is the sensible starting point, particularly for groups planning to complete the quest progression and keep the same map for months.
Older Forge packs can take time to start while mods load recipes, integrations, and custom configuration. Once players settle in, the bigger pressure usually comes from what they build: extensive item networks, machinery running continuously, large numbers of entities, and chunks kept active while nobody is nearby.
Exploration can also cause short bursts of extra work as the server generates new terrain. Groups heading in several directions at once will feel this more than players travelling together. Generating commonly used areas ahead of time can make expedition days smoother.
Good server habits matter:
- Avoid loading more chunks than your machinery genuinely needs.
- Spread large automation projects out rather than stacking everything into one busy base.
- Keep dropped items, animals, and unattended machines under control.
- Schedule backups, especially before changing mods or configuration.
- Restart periodically if a long-running world begins accumulating lag.
These are common modded-server patterns, not fixed limits. CreeperPanel’s diagnostic tools help identify whether a slowdown comes from ticking blocks, entities, chunks, or another source before you start dismantling the factory at random.
Why Run It with CreeperHost?
Our hybrid VPS platform delivers native CPU performance on modern Ryzen, EPYC, and Intel Ultra hardware chosen with modded Minecraft in mind.
On eligible Premium services, Ask Theo can inspect the current server and panel state, explain likely trouble, and prepare safe next steps for your approval. It does not replace human support: when old Forge gets temperamental, our team brings more than 13 years of experience hosting modded communities.
You build the questionable reactor room. We’ll help keep the server ready for everyone else.
Got questions? 
Yes. Order from a modpack page and the selected pack is ready to install. You can also change versions or choose another supported pack later from CreeperPanel.
Our pack tooling first turned a CurseForge client pack into a server on 31 March 2017, long before generative AI entered the picture. Built by experienced members of the modded Minecraft community, it works out which files a dedicated server needs, automatically detects known client-only mods before they get in the way, and prepares the right Minecraft, modloader, and launch setup. It also watches pack starts: if one crashes, the failure is automatically reported to our team so we can see what actually happened and improve the handling. Automation is only the first line. When a pack needs its own fix or setup step, our team can build one rather than forcing everything through the same rigid template.
Yep. CreeperPanel lets you search for and install extra mods, then update, enable, or disable them alongside the rest of the pack. It checks the Minecraft version and modloader and warns you about known client-only mods. Mods can still disagree with each other, because modded Minecraft, but you get proper tools and real people to help rather than a folder full of mystery files.
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.
Yes. SaveGuard keeps automatic world backups on separate backup storage, away from the machine running your server, without using your allocated server disk. It stores only what changed between saves, so even losing the whole game node would not take the protected worlds with it.
If your world still exists when the service ends, Save Your World keeps a copy for up to a year. Come back later and you can restore it to a new service in one click, picking up where you left off.
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.
