Note - You can run multiple instances at the same time, provided you have enough RAM to run them and disk space to install them. Minecraft does not share ports, each additional instance will require a new 'server port' in the "Settings" menu and can be connected to via your HOSTNAMEorIP:customportnumberhere - Eg: myserver.playat.ch:29974

# Validating modpack install If you are having issues with your server such as it not starting or certain recipes not working, the modpack files may have become corrupted and/or some critical files may be missing, this guide will cover how to validate the modpack files. 1. Go to the console page of the server you are having issues with and if the server is currently running, click the stop button and wait for it to shut down. 2. In the top right of the console page, where the control buttons are, you will see an orange/yellow button with a wrench icon. [![firefox_2023-12-02_01-04-09.png](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/cfEvPOciPNsYEcIi-firefox-2023-12-02-01-04-09.png)](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/cfEvPOciPNsYEcIi-firefox-2023-12-02-01-04-09.png) 3. If you click on this button it will start validating the files for the modpack that's installed, if it finds any corrupted configs, it will replace them with the default config for that modpack and rename the broken one to config\_name.format.bkp # Opping a Player There are multiple methods you can use to OP a player when using our panel, those methods have been listed below.

Older versions of Minecraft can also benefit from using a newer version of Java, see the table below on the compatibility between Minecraft versions and Java.
Minecraft VersionJava Version
1.11 and olderJava 8
1.12 - 1.13Java 8 or Java 11
1.14 - 1.16Java 8, Java 11, Java 14, Java 15
1.17Java 16
1.18 and newerJava 17
#### Changing Java versions To change the Java version on your Minecraft instance firstly click on your instance to bring up the console page then click on Settings > System. You should now see an option called JRE (Java Runtime Environment). Click on the dropdown below the JRE text then select the appropriate version for the Minecraft version you are running. **Note:** The table above is in regards to Vanilla Minecraft, modded servers may not be compatible with all the java versions listed for that Minecraft version. # Setting/Changing the server icon

If you are strugging to find your minecraft server please take a look at the following guide.

1\. Go to your minecraft server on the panel, then click on the image that's to the left of the instance and modpack name. [![msedge_2023-02-06_21-30-51.png](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/scaled-1680-/0Kcv7W7Z8pmNllbs-msedge-2023-02-06-21-30-51.png)](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/0Kcv7W7Z8pmNllbs-msedge-2023-02-06-21-30-51.png) 2\. A popup will open that will ask you to either click in the highlighed box or drag an image into the box. The image you upload **MUST** be 64x64 in size and a PNG. [![msedge_2023-02-06_21-40-37.png](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/scaled-1680-/luH03s7yiZ9Wg4BX-msedge-2023-02-06-21-40-37.png)](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/luH03s7yiZ9Wg4BX-msedge-2023-02-06-21-40-37.png) 3\. After clicking done, you will see that the icon next to the instance and modpack name will change to the image you uploaded. # World pregen Pre-generating a minecraft world can help reduce the lag you may encounter when starting a new server as world generation is one of the most common sources of lag in minecraft. If you would like to pre-generate your world start your server up then head to to the World & Backups page, we recommend you only pre-generate your world when there are little or no players online as it can cause severe lag. [![2023-12-02_01-12-23.png](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/PjLCIdW80eXjKChQ-2023-12-02-01-12-23.png)](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/PjLCIdW80eXjKChQ-2023-12-02-01-12-23.png) Once there, you should see a little blue button with a sapling icon. [![firefox_2023-12-02_01-12-48.png](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/SKpNdxa8Iue4sPmf-firefox-2023-12-02-01-12-48.png)](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/SKpNdxa8Iue4sPmf-firefox-2023-12-02-01-12-48.png) Clicking this button will open up a popup which will allow you to select how many blocks in each direction you want to pre-generate using the slider, changing this will also update the estimate of how long it will take to finish pre-generating the chunks. [![firefox_2023-12-02_01-13-33.png](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/scaled-1680-/nvQ8EEyuDTy4DSOB-firefox-2023-12-02-01-13-33.png)](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2023-12/nvQ8EEyuDTy4DSOB-firefox-2023-12-02-01-13-33.png) # File Management Editing, adding, removing, backup restoration... # Installation Location Minecraft: Java Edition is stored in the ./home/minecraft/mc-instances/mc-INSTANCEIDHERE/ directory, it can be accessed via the Files menu for your game instance, or, **[sFTP/SSH](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/general-information/chapter/file-management "File management")**. Files added to the instance's directory will be detected by the control panel and software utilizing them.

The instance ID is in your browser URL, eg: "panel.creeper.host/TestServer/services/mc/**mc-5c604c6ddc398**/files" when visiting any submenu for that instance.

Uploading files using the 'root' login details for SSH/sFTP *may* cause problems with the control panel being able to access files/folders. Where possible, always login using the standard 'minecraft' level key.

An example of a healthy structure listing (Note: "Files" menu does not show the /home/minecraft/\* part of the file structure): - /home/minecraft/mc-instances/mc-INSTANCEIDHERE/server.jar - /home/minecraft/mc-instances/mc-INSTANCEIDHERE/configs/ - /home/minecraft/mc-instances/mc-INSTANCEIDHERE/mods/ - /home/minecraft/mc-instances/mc-INSTANCEIDHERE/world/level.dat - /home/minecraft/mc-instances/mc-INSTANCEIDHERE/server-icon.png Any files dropped into the /home/minecraft/ directory via [**sFTP/SSH**](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/general-information/chapter/file-management "File management") will not be detected by the instances sub-menus, they must be within the /home/minecraft/mc-instances/mc-INSTANCEIDHERE/ directory. # My world is too big, how do I upload it? If your world is too big to # Restoring Backups #### Backup Restoration: To restore a backup created by mods such as FTBU (Feed The Beast Utilities) or Aroma1997's Backup: 1\) Visit your instances **Console** page - Make sure the server is shut down via the red stop button on the right. 2\) Click on the **Files**, since you were on the console you'll now be loaded into the installation directory for that Minecraft instance. 3\) Right-click on your current **/worldname/** folder and rename or delete it (make sure you have backups before deleting!) - We want to replace it, not overwrite it. 4\) Open the **/backups/** directory, find the backup you want to use (The backups are named as follows: Year-Month-Day-Hour-Minute-Second, the most recent backup is usually the last one listed in the directory: Filename formats may vary depending on the mod or mod version). If it is a .zip file, right-click > **Extract** to extract the files from the backup. 5\) Open the directory that matches the name of the backup that you just extracted then right-click on the world folder and select Move. In the window that opens click on the topmost folder then click confirm. 6\) Start the server via the green start button on the right side of the **Console** page - You're done! #### Backup configuration (FTBU): The FTBU backup configuration file is located in /configs/ftbutilities.cfg. FTBU configurations for ranks etc, are stored within /local/ftbu/\* Note: /local/ftbutilities/ may show as /local/ftbu/ depending on mod version, and, older versions store the 'master configuration' in the /local/ftbu/, it can be accessed via the instances Files menu or **[sFTP](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/general-information/chapter/file-management)** (see **[Installation Location](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/minecraft-java-edition/page/installation-location)** ). ``` backups { # Timer in hours # 1.0 - backups every hour # 6.0 - backups every 6 hours # 0.5 - backups every 30 minutes # Min: 0.05 # Max: 600.0 D:backup_timer=2.0 # The number of backup files to keep # More backups = more space used # 0 - Infinite # Min: 0 # Max: 32000 I:backups_to_keep=12 # 0 - Disabled (output = folders) # 1 - Best speed # 9 - Smallest file size # Min: 0 # Max: 9 I:compression_level=1 # Prints (current size | total size) when backup is done B:display_file_size=true B:enabled=true # Absolute path to backups folder S:folder= B:silent=false # Run backup in a separated Thread (recommended) B:use_separate_thread=true ``` Reducing "backups\_to\_keep" is recommended if: a) You have a very large world, as you can quickly fill your SSD disk space. b) You use our own backup system (Service > Backups menu) - This system will backup the entire Minecraft installation directory, you can easily end up exceeding your SSD disk space limit as the backup will backup FTBU's backups too. Backup inception! If you reduce the backups\_to\_keep (3~6), it is also recommended to increase the backup\_timer to 6.0, 12.0 or 24.0 to spread out the backups over a larger range of time, so you have plenty of time intervals to easily distinguish between and roll back to. # Adding Mods To find your instance please follow this guide:[**https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/minecraft-java-edition/page/finding-your-instances**](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/minecraft-java-edition/page/finding-your-instances) --- On the instance page of the server you want to add a mod to click on `Mods` in the instance navigation list.

NOTE: If you do not have enough disk space to copy your server files the export process will fail and the URL generated will produce a "404" error. We would recommend using the Files sub-menu or **[sFTP/SSH](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/general-information/chapter/file-management "File management")** to remove excess backups or logs that could be 'inflating' the export size. On rare occasion, the export files may be left on the disk after the task has completed, increasing disk use, these files are located in /home/export/ and the zip is in /home/, to remove these files, either; a) Login using your root sFTP key and delete them, or, b) Send in a ticket and support will nuke them for you! The .instance file is a ZIP, it can be opened in any ZIP management program such as 7zip, WinRAR, WinZIP etc. It contains a complete copy of your Minecraft installation, the world, configs, mods. #### **Importing Instances:** Instances on the new panel can be imported via the "Create Instance" option, this menu will popup a dialog containing the clickable "I'd like to import an instance" option. The "I'd like to import an instance" option will allow you to enter the URL to your instances .instance or CurseForge .zip file. Legacy panel importing: Instances can be imported to your control panel later on using the Control Panel > Minecraft > Import Instance menu if you decide to re-implement that installation of Minecraft. Advanced note: You can also upload the .instance file via **[sFTP/SSH](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/general-information/chapter/file-management "File management")**, rename it to a .zip and 'wget' via **[sFTP/SSH](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/general-information/chapter/file-management "File management")**, or, use the Files sub-menu for your game to 'extract/decompress' your file. # Changing modpacks # Settings Every Minecraft instance has its own individual settings options.

For heavy mod packs you may want to disable max-tick-time= by setting it's value to "-1" in the server.properties via the File Manager or sFTP/SSH, to prevent the error 'A single tick took longer than 60 seconds'. # Mod/Plugin Manager If you are running a Bukkit-based/Modded Minecraft instance, then you will be able to use the "Plugins"/"Mods" sub-menu for your Minecraft: Java Edition instance.

NOTE: You will not be able to use the Plugins/Mods menu's if the installation does not contain the appropriate folders. These folders are generated during startup with the applicable software: **Vanilla Minecraft** **can** **not load mods or plugins**. **Bukkit-based** Minecraft **can load plugins** (Not mods). **Forge-based** Minecraft **can load mods** (Not plugins). **Hybrid software can load mods and plugins**, however, depending on which software you opt for is unsupported, depreciated and unstable. We recommend 1.10.x+ mod servers can use [SpongeForge](http://www.spongepowered.org) to load plugins.

- View installed plugins/mods All detected plugins/mods will be listed on the Plugins/Mods Manager. You can click the buttons on the right side of the plugin or mod to disable or enable them. Disabled plugins/mods are renamed to prevent them loading with the .disabled filetype. - Upload plugins/mods from your PC Drag a plugin/mod jar file into the \[Upload\] box at the top of the Plugins/Mods Manager. Note: If the plugin/mod is too big, it may not upload via the browser, you would need to upload it via [sFTP/SSH](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/general-information/chapter/file-management "File management") to the corresponding plugins or mods folder for [your instances directory](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/minecraft-java-edition/page/installation-location "Installation Location"). - Install plugins from [Bukkit](https://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins) or mods from [Curse](https://minecraft.curseforge.com/mc-mods): Type the plugin/mod name into the search bar at the top of the Plugins/Mods menu, then click search. This may take a few seconds/minutes depending on the speed of the search. Once your plugin or mod has been found it will appear with a drop-down box next to it and an install button. The drop-down box dictates which 'build' you want installing, you can select older builds via this box, the newer build should always be displayed first. NOTE: Make sure to type the correct plugin/mod name, especially for modded searches, as "Exnihilo" is not the same as "Ex Nihilo", if the Bukkit/Curse website cannot display the correct results on their website, our panel will likely not be able to display an install for it either. # Changing Java Version

To find your instance please follow this guide: [https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/minecraft-java-edition/page/finding-your-instances](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/minecraft-java-edition/page/finding-your-instances)

First, you will need to make sure that the instance you are changing the version on has been stopped (you can find out how to stop your server [https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/minecraft-java-edition/page/startingrestartingstopping-your-server](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/minecraft-java-edition/page/startingrestartingstopping-your-server))

If you need to change the Java version that is used to run your server you can follow the step by step guide below. #### Step 1 Click on Settings as highligted in the image below [![msedge_2020-12-08_20-41-43.png](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2020-12/scaled-1680-/lECLtqLxdfhkG3PE-msedge_2020-12-08_20-41-43.png)](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2020-12/lECLtqLxdfhkG3PE-msedge_2020-12-08_20-41-43.png) #### Step 2 On the settings page click on the Advanced tab #### [![firefox_2023-09-26_01-06-17.png](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2023-09/scaled-1680-/CsZdlbdz62IMXBSU-firefox-2023-09-26-01-06-17.png)](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2023-09/CsZdlbdz62IMXBSU-firefox-2023-09-26-01-06-17.png) You will now be shown a warning message where you will need to click Show Advanced to continue [![firefox_2023-09-26_01-06-35.png](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2023-09/scaled-1680-/LSN8ANrhaZ2n72JM-firefox-2023-09-26-01-06-35.png)](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2023-09/LSN8ANrhaZ2n72JM-firefox-2023-09-26-01-06-35.png) #### Step 3 Click on the JAVA dropdown box then select the Java version you need and click save [![2023-09-26_01-07-14.png](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2023-09/scaled-1680-/mj21TxycQWHMGCFZ-2023-09-26-01-07-14.png)](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2023-09/mj21TxycQWHMGCFZ-2023-09-26-01-07-14.png) #### Step 4 You can now start your server back up and it will now be using the Java version you selected in the previous step. # Troubleshooting Crashes, start failures, mod rejections, errors etc. # Minecraft Connection Failures #### **Cannot Connect to Server** Example: "Internal Exception: java.io.IOException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host" This error means you cannot connect; The server is offline, the traffic is being blocked, the server is rejecting the connection etc - You can't connect. - Check the server is started to completition; The console will report "Done! X seconds" when it has fully started and is waiting for players. - Check the server is responding: You can type commands such as "help" or "forge tps" in the console to see if the server responds to command input at all. - Check your able to contact the server: If you are using the hostname, try using the numerical IP from the Server > Overview > Access menu ([Legacy Panel](https://legacy-panel.creeper.host/login): Virtual Server > sFTP/SSH Access). See: [Connection Failures](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/general-information/page/connection-failures) #### **Mod Rejections** Example: "\[Netty Epoll Server IO #4/INFO\] \[FML\]: Rejecting connection CLIENT: Compact Drawers: Requires version 1.12.2-1.0.4.111 but mod is not found on client." Most Minecraft modpacks (excluding client-side-only mods) require that you are running the same version+build as you do on the server. This means if you are running for example "FTB Infinity Evolved 1.7.10, build 3.0.1" on the server and you attempt to connect with "FTB Infinity Evolved 1.7.10, build 3.0.2" the server may reject the connection. Mod rejection errors print to both server and client logs. The server's installed version is usually visible above the "Overview/Console" menu (Old panel). The new control panel (at the time of writing this) does not yet display installed versions, but you can still 'guestimate' which build is installed. Mod rejection errors will display both versions in conflict, first: the server version, secondly: the client version. As most build numbers tend to go up the numerical scale and not down, if the server shows a higher build number for a mod, it is likely the client is out of date - If the client shows a higher build number for a mod, it is likely the server is out of date. You can change your installed server build via the "Versions" sub-menu for your Minecraft instance, alter mod builds directly via the "Mods" menu ([Legacy Panel](https://legacy-panel.creeper.host/login): "Mods Manager"), or alter the files directly via [sFTP/SSH](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/general-information/chapter/file-management). Note: It is recommended to change official mod packs via the "Versions" sub-menu first for your Minecraft instance. Any changes to the mods, without updating the configs, can result in odd server/gameplay behaviour; Versions will ensure your mod pack comes installed with all the 'trimmings' (configs, scripts etc) as intended. # Mods and Plugins General Minecraft Software Rules: **Vanilla** Minecraft can load Minecraft (Not mods and not plugins). **Bukkit-**based Minecraft can load plugins (Not mods). **Forge-**based Minecraft can load mods (Not plugins). **Hybrid** software can load mods and plugins, however, depending on which software you opt for is unsupported, depreciated and unstable. Note: 1.10.x+ mod servers can use [SpongeForge](http://www.spongepowered.org) to load plugins. ##### Unable to open file stream The plugins and mods directory is created when the server is first run with the appropriate folder. If you get the error "Unable to open file stream" (or similar) when attempting to install mods/plugins via the mods/plugins menu, this means the panel cannot find the folder to install to; Make sure your server has the appropriate directories setup by starting the software via the console first. Note: You can use the Files menu, or [sFTP/SSH](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/general-information/chapter/file-management "File management") to create a mods/plugins folder manually, however, if you do not have the correct software (mentioned at the top of this page) installed, you will not be able to load those mods or plugins. # Additional Information Miscellaneous guides # Operator Levels

Level 3 OPs can use the /op command, if they use this command then they will be able to give anyone access to OP level 4 as this is what Minecraft defaults to.

Operator levels allow the server administrator to control the level of access each operator has. By default, if you use the /op command or another method listed in our adding operators guide it will use level 4 which grants full access the server commands list. There are 4 levels that can be assigned to an operator, each grants access to different sets of commands. Each level will also inherit access to the commands from the level below.
**Level****Details**
Level 1OPs can bypass the spawn protection
Level 2OPs can use all singleplayer cheat command with the exception of `/publish` and `/debug`. They are also given access to command blocks.
Level 3OPs can use most multiplayer-exclusive commands, including` /debug`, and commands that manage players (`/ban`, `/op`, `/deop`, `/kick`).
Level 4OPs can use all commands including `/stop`, `/save-all`. `/save-on`, `/save-off`
# Finding your instance ID If you are using sFTP to upload files to your Minecraft server it will be necessary for you to find the ID of the instance you want to upload files to. This guide will show you 2 methods of getting the instance ID. --- First, you will need to navigate to the instance you want to get the ID of, you can take a look at the following guide if you are unsure how to find your instance [**https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/minecraft-java-edition/page/finding-your-instances**](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/books/minecraft-java-edition/page/finding-your-instances) #### Method 1 Once you have selected the instance you want to fetch the ID of click on the instance name such as the one highlighted in the image below. This will copy the instance ID to the clipboard of your computer. [![msedge_2021-09-02_02-40-54.png](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-09/scaled-1680-/IKvQodj6N4iqxJHc-msedge_2021-09-02_02-40-54.png)](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-09/IKvQodj6N4iqxJHc-msedge_2021-09-02_02-40-54.png) You can now paste it in notepad or elsewhere if you need to refer back to it. #### Method 2 After selecting the instance you want to get the ID of, you can find the ID in the URL bar of your browser. The id of your instance will look similar to the one highlighted in the image below. [![msedge_2021-09-02_02-44-15.png](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-09/scaled-1680-/UfF6qBBzYb4WneJA-msedge_2021-09-02_02-44-15.png)](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-09/UfF6qBBzYb4WneJA-msedge_2021-09-02_02-44-15.png) # Cloning your instance Cloning an instance can be useful if you want a quick backup that you can easily go back to before you update your server, make any significant changes or want to test something. To create a clone of your instance, you will first need to go to the console page of your instance, then in the sub-navigation for the instance near the bottom you should see a link named clone. Clicking this will bring up a confirmation box stating that cloning an instance will make a complete clone of the instance and will increase the storage space use by the amount the instance your cloning is using. Upon clicking the clone button, it will start to make a copy of the instance and once it's done, you will be taken to the newly clones instance. Depending on the size of the instance you are cloning, it may take a while for it to clone. # Useful utilities Useful guides on commonly used commands and configuring mods/plugins # FTB Backups 2 To change how frequently the FTB Backups 2 mod creates a backup, navigate to the Files page on the panel and open the config folder, in there you will find a file named **ftbbackups2.json** or **ftbbackups2.json5**, double click this file to open it. With the file opened, find the option named `"backup_cron"` this will be set to something similar to `"0 */30 * * * ?"` The format used for this is seconds, minutes, hours, day of month, month, day of week. Examples of common configuration options are:
ExpressionDescription
0 \*/30 \* \* \* ?Every 30 minutes at 0 seconds
0 0 \*/1 \* \* ?Every hour at 0 minutes and 0 seconds
0 0 \*/2 \* \* ?Every 2 hours at 0 minutes and 0 seconds
0 0 \*/4 \* \* ?Every 4 hours at 0 minutes and 0 seconds
0 0 \*/6 \* \* ?Every 6 hours at 0 minutes and 0 seconds
##### Special characters Credit to http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/documentation/quartz-2.3.0/tutorials/crontrigger.html - **\*** (*“all values”*) - used to select all values within a field. For example, “**\***” in the minute field means *“every minute”*. - **?** (*“no specific value”*) - useful when you need to specify something in one of the two fields in which the character is allowed, but not the other. For example, if I want my trigger to fire on a particular day of the month (say, the 10th), but don’t care what day of the week that happens to be, I would put “10” in the day-of-month field, and “?” in the day-of-week field. See the examples below for clarification. - **-** - used to specify ranges. For example, “10-12” in the hour field means *“the hours 10, 11 and 12”*. - **,** - used to specify additional values. For example, “MON,WED,FRI” in the day-of-week field means *“the days Monday, Wednesday, and Friday”*. - **/** - used to specify increments. For example, “0/15” in the seconds field means *“the seconds 0, 15, 30, and 45”*. And “5/15” in the seconds field means *“the seconds 5, 20, 35, and 50”*. You can also specify ‘/’ after the ‘**’ character - in this case ‘**’ is equivalent to having ‘0’ before the ‘/’. ‘1/3’ in the day-of-month field means *“fire every 3 days starting on the first day of the month”*. - **L** (*“last”*) - has different meaning in each of the two fields in which it is allowed. For example, the value “L” in the day-of-month field means *“the last day of the month”* - day 31 for January, day 28 for February on non-leap years. If used in the day-of-week field by itself, it simply means “7” or “SAT”. But if used in the day-of-week field after another value, it means *“the last xxx day of the month”* - for example “6L” means *“the last friday of the month”*. You can also specify an offset from the last day of the month, such as “L-3” which would mean the third-to-last day of the calendar month. *When using the ‘L’ option, it is important not to specify lists, or ranges of values, as you’ll get confusing/unexpected results.* - **W** (*“weekday”*) - used to specify the weekday (Monday-Friday) nearest the given day. As an example, if you were to specify “15W” as the value for the day-of-month field, the meaning is: *“the nearest weekday to the 15th of the month”*. So if the 15th is a Saturday, the trigger will fire on Friday the 14th. If the 15th is a Sunday, the trigger will fire on Monday the 16th. If the 15th is a Tuesday, then it will fire on Tuesday the 15th. However if you specify “1W” as the value for day-of-month, and the 1st is a Saturday, the trigger will fire on Monday the 3rd, as it will not ‘jump’ over the boundary of a month’s days. The ‘W’ character can only be specified when the day-of-month is a single day, not a range or list of days. > The 'L' and 'W' characters can also be combined in the day-of-month field to yield 'LW', which translates to \*"last weekday of the month"\*. - **\#** - used to specify “the nth” XXX day of the month. For example, the value of “6#3” in the day-of-week field means *“the third Friday of the month”* (day 6 = Friday and “#3” = the 3rd one in the month). Other examples: “2#1” = the first Monday of the month and “4#5” = the fifth Wednesday of the month. Note that if you specify “#5” and there is not 5 of the given day-of-week in the month, then no firing will occur that month. > The legal characters and the names of months and days of the week are not case sensitive. MON is the same as mon. # FTB Utilities

#### Permissions WIP # Mitigating CVE-2021-44228 in Minecraft If you are using Minecraft 1.18 or older we recommend following this guide to install a patch to mitigate against any Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerabilities due to CVE-2021-44228 in log4j. If you would like to read more about the patch you can read our blog at [**https://www.creeperhost.net/blog/mitigating-cve/**](https://www.creeperhost.net/blog/mitigating-cve/)

If you are using the FTBApp or hosting a server through CreeperHost you do not need to follow this guide as the issue has already been patched.

--- ##### How to install the patch on CurseForge First go to [**https://github.com/CreeperHost/Log4jPatcher/releases/latest**](https://github.com/CreeperHost/Log4jPatcher/releases/latest) and download the **Log4jPatcher.jar**. Once its downloaded open up the root of your Minecraft installation (this can be the .minecraft folder or an instance folder of the launcher you are using). To open the instance folder on CurseForge click on the image of the instance then click on the 3 vertical dots and select **Open Folder** **[![Overwolf_2021-12-10_16-18-14.png](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-12/scaled-1680-/B4QqKguSq0UXorT0-overwolf-2021-12-10-16-18-14.png)](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-12/B4QqKguSq0UXorT0-overwolf-2021-12-10-16-18-14.png)** **[![Overwolf_2021-12-10_16-18-33.png](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-12/scaled-1680-/GR1fj4qP9jHyEzWP-overwolf-2021-12-10-16-18-33.png)](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-12/GR1fj4qP9jHyEzWP-overwolf-2021-12-10-16-18-33.png)[![Overwolf_2021-12-10_16-18-44.png](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-12/scaled-1680-/zNNYfgug4skjkMfs-overwolf-2021-12-10-16-18-44.png)](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-12/zNNYfgug4skjkMfs-overwolf-2021-12-10-16-18-44.png)** It will now open a new Explorer/Finder window where you want to move/copy the **Log4jPatcher.jar** file to (Do **NOT** put this file in the mods folder)**.** If the file is name a little differently I would recommend renaimg the file to **Log4jPatcher.jar** as it will make it easier to follow the rest of the guide. After moving the file to the folder it should look similar to the image below [![explorer_2021-12-10_16-32-57.png](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-12/scaled-1680-/btJSc82snnZ7mNql-explorer-2021-12-10-16-32-57.png)](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-12/btJSc82snnZ7mNql-explorer-2021-12-10-16-32-57.png) You can now close the Explorer/Finder window and go back to the CurseForge app. Once back in the CurseForge app click on the settings cog in the bottom right [![Overwolf_2021-12-10_16-24-51.png](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-12/scaled-1680-/mRgjXVv6xe6kPE3s-overwolf-2021-12-10-16-24-51.png)](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-12/mRgjXVv6xe6kPE3s-overwolf-2021-12-10-16-24-51.png) Now click on Minecraft and scroll down until you see an option named **Additional Arguments.** In the textbox below add the following argument **`-javaagent:Log4jPatcher.jar`** [![Overwolf_2021-12-10_16-30-36.png](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-12/scaled-1680-/5jJUsEpEGK5GCFzi-overwolf-2021-12-10-16-30-36.png)](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-12/5jJUsEpEGK5GCFzi-overwolf-2021-12-10-16-30-36.png) When you now click on play it will load the patch for you.

If you do not have the Log4jPatcher.jar in the instance or did not place it in the correct place, Minecraft will crash after clicking play.

--- ##### How to install the patch when using the Vanilla launcher First go to [**https://github.com/CreeperHost/Log4jPatcher/releases/latest**](https://github.com/CreeperHost/Log4jPatcher/releases/latest) and download the **Log4jPatcher.jar**. If its named a little differently we recommend renaming to **Log4jPatcher.jar** to make it easier to follow the rest of the guide Now open up the Vanilla launcher and click on Installations [![MinecraftLauncher_2021-12-10_19-32-00.png](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-12/scaled-1680-/bqyK5MyYTxUqOFaZ-minecraftlauncher-2021-12-10-19-32-00.png)](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-12/bqyK5MyYTxUqOFaZ-minecraftlauncher-2021-12-10-19-32-00.png) You should now see a list of all the installed versions, move your mouse over the install you wish to add the patch to and click on the folder icon [![MinecraftLauncher_2021-12-10_19-33-24.png](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-12/scaled-1680-/E9rwEzbZcvlMShTt-minecraftlauncher-2021-12-10-19-33-24.png)](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-12/E9rwEzbZcvlMShTt-minecraftlauncher-2021-12-10-19-33-24.png) This will now open a new Explorer/Finder window where you want to move/copy the **Log4jPatcher.jar** that we downloaded earlier to. Once its in the folder it should look something like the image below [![explorer_2021-12-10_19-36-07.png](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-12/scaled-1680-/pMaenE7zG81UbgfO-explorer-2021-12-10-19-36-07.png)](https://www.creeperhost.net/wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2021-12/pMaenE7zG81UbgfO-explorer-2021-12-10-19-36-07.png) You can now close the Explorer/Finder window and go back to the Vanilla launcher. Once on the Vanilla launcher, again hover over the install you want to add the patch to but this time click on the button that has 3 small dots then click edit.
