Your Better Than Minecolonies Getting Started (BTMCGS) server, with the useful bits included.
Host your Better Than Minecolonies Getting Started (BTMCGS) server
Better Than Minecolonies Getting Started (BTMCGS) CreeperHost hosting provides a managed home for this Forge-based Minecraft 1.17.1 modpack. The pack combines colony building with magic, technology, exploration, storage, decoration, and practical quality-of-life additions. A shared server keeps the world, settlements, machines, and building projects together while CreeperPanel handles key administration tasks.
Build and decorate a growing settlement
MineColonies, Structurize, BlockUI, and Domum Ornamentum form part of the pack’s colony-building selection. Players can develop settlements alongside their own homes and shared builds. Decorative options include furniture, mirrors, dirt decoration, diamond glass, and compressed blocks. The source material also highlights computer desks, MineBay item ordering, and even building a well-appointed loo.
Biomes O’ Plenty and Nature’s Compass support exploration beyond the immediate settlement. JourneyMap and Waystones provide additional tools for navigating discovered areas and returning to established locations.
Explore magic, technology, and equipment
Primal Magick introduces the pack’s magical theme, while Applied Energistics 2, CC: Tweaked, Simple Storage Network, and CraftingCraft represent its technology and storage side. These systems give communities several directions for progression, from experimenting with magic to developing advanced technical builds.
Silent Gear, Silent’s Gems, Resourceful Tools, Tool Belt, Sophisticated Backpacks, Iron Chests, and Stone Chests broaden equipment and storage choices. Smaller additions cover conveniences such as crafting adjustments, inventory interaction, recipe viewing, durability information, leaf decay, fence jumping, ladder movement, and elytra take-off.
The listed sample is only part of the catalogue and should not be treated as the pack’s complete mod list.
Modpack management through CreeperPanel
CreeperPanel supports one-click modpack installation. Updates preserve user configuration changes, helping protect server-specific adjustments when moving between pack releases.
Built-in tools cover files, mods, configuration, players, inventories, worlds, and backups. Diagnostic features can also help investigate lag without requiring every task to be handled manually. Eligible Premium and Pro services may use Ask Theo to inspect the current panel state and prepare safe next steps for approval.
Hosting backed by experienced support
CreeperHost uses game-server hardware selected for strong native CPU performance and stability. DDoS protection and location choice are included with the service.
Real support staff remain available when panel tools are not enough. CreeperHost has experience hosting modded Minecraft communities since 2011, covering the practical challenges associated with Forge packs, updates, world management, and configuration changes.
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.
