Part 1. Serverpack creator.

Follow the steps below for your launcher on how to properly use SPC for each launcher. Ensure you select the correct launcher.

The example modpack is Beyond Depth for curseforge & prism, and Homestead for modrinth. Both do not have a serverpack available from their respective platforms natively.

While Beyond depth and Homestead provide their own ways to do their serverspacks, we use these modpacks strictly as examples for SPC as they are good examples of popular modpacks and have a good selection of mods.
