A Quest-Led Botania Skyblock
Garden of Glass (Questbook Edition) is a relatively compact magic-focused pack for Minecraft 1.16.5, running on Forge 36.2.0. Its 60 mods centre the experience on Botania’s Garden of Glass skyblock format, with quests providing direction for players who would rather build together than guess what comes next.
Botania is joined by additions such as Mythic Botany and Botanical Machinery. FTB Quests, Teams, and Chunks support group play, while familiar conveniences including JEI, Construction Wand, Carry On, and Iron Chests take some friction out of everyday building.
The smaller mod list makes this approachable for a close-knit group, but it still benefits from a proper server that everyone can enter independently.
Hosting Considerations for Garden of Glass
This is lighter than many large kitchen-sink packs, although “skyblock” does not mean “no server load.” Forge startup, world saves, backups, and active modded systems still need enough memory and solid single-core CPU performance.
As the island develops, common sources of slowdown include:
- Large numbers of dropped items or other entities
- Dense automation concentrated into a few active chunks
- Too many chunks kept loaded when nobody is nearby
- Repeatedly expanding builds without checking tick performance
- Backups or restarts scheduled while several players are active
These issues usually appear gradually rather than on day one. Starting sensibly and checking performance as the world grows is better than throwing memory at every pause. Extra RAM cannot fix a contraption that consumes too much tick time.
Keep regular world backups, especially before pack updates or major configuration changes. For a small group, modest hosting may be enough initially. Premium is the better direction if the server will run for months, host a busier group, or accumulate increasingly elaborate builds.
Why Run It with CreeperHost?
Our hybrid VPS platform delivers native CPU performance on modern Ryzen, EPYC, and Intel Ultra hardware, which matters when Forge is processing a busy island tick by tick.
CreeperPanel’s diagnostic tools help identify lagging dimensions, chunks, and entities instead of leaving you to restart blindly. On eligible Premium and Pro plans, Ask Theo can inspect the current server and panel state, explain what it finds, and prepare safe next steps for you to approve.
When the problem needs a person, our team brings more than 13 years of experience hosting modded Minecraft communities. You focus on mana, quests, and the increasingly questionable machine in the corner; we’ll help keep the server side under control.
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.
