Fabric Mods ignored

[19wolf]

I'm trying to run this mod but apparently my fabric jar isn't a fabric jar? Unless I've completely misunderstood how to install fabric mods. I've tried using -e MODPACK and putting the files directly in the /mods folder.

Let me know if you need anything else.

In this context I can see that "modpack" is a confusing term to use in that variable. Unfortunately in this case it doesn't refer to CurseForge modpacks, which have the full directory structure to setup servers. I instead MODPACK is expecting a flat zip structure that contains only mod jars.

Really I need to support CF_SERVER_MOD that contain fabric installers. If there's a forge version of that modpack, that would be an easy workaround for now.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. Definitely update me when you figure out how to support the fabric version :)

I just commented on another issue with a similar problem, but when I try to run the forge version I get an error about using the server version of the modpack (which I am)

Hello, I run different Fabric modpack, but this might be your issue too perhaps. When I download Better+Minecraft+Server+Pack+[FABRIC]+v8.zip from curseforge inside it is a directory [Better Minecraft Server Pack [FABRIC] v8] which has the directories and files actually needed inside of it. If I run the below below docker-compose.yml with the file as downloaded off curseforge the server does not load the mods.

If I repack the Better+Minecraft+Server+Pack+[FABRIC]+v8.zip so that the config, mods etc are in root of the .zip, Fabric server with the full Better Minecraft modpack comes up correctly.

version: '3'

services:
  bettermc:
    ports:
      - "25565:25565"
    environment:
      EULA: "true"
      MAX_MEMORY: "4G"
      TYPE: "FABRIC"
      VERSION: "1.17.1"
      GENERIC_PACK: "/modpacks/Better+Minecraft+Server+Pack+[FABRIC]+v8.zip"
    image: itzg/minecraft-server
    container_name: mc-bettermc
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
      - ./modpacks:/modpacks
      - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro

Unrelated, but I also have a RLCraft one if you wanna give some suffering a go :) (this one works with the file from curseforge without repacking)

version: '3'

services:
  rlcraft:
    ports:
      - "25565:25565"
    environment:
      EULA: "true"
      MAX_MEMORY: "4G"
      VERSION: "1.12.2"
      TYPE: "FORGE"
      GENERIC_PACK: "/modpacks/RLCraft+Server+Pack+1.12.2+-+Beta+v2.8.2.zip"
      USE_MODPACK_START_SCRIPT: "false"
      ALLOW_FLIGHT: "true"
      MAX_TICK_TIME: -1
      DIFFICULTY: "hard"
    image: itzg/minecraft-server:java8
    container_name: mc-rlcraft
    restart: always
    volumes:

      - ./modpacks:/modpacks
      - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro

Thanks @hugalafutro for the notes on repacking the zip. 💯 I was trying to get Better Minecraft 9.5 running in Fabric. That got me past my biggest hurdle getting this setup for the first time.

@Sigler, glad you got it working, if I may I'd suggest Forge version of Better MC as I feel the mod selection is better on Forge especially because I can inject in Biomes O' Plenty. I did some further tweaking to the compose, added aikar flags, timezone, enabled Rcon (as in fabric for w/e reason by default was disabled), OP and Whitelist from .env file etc. You still need to repack the zips for both forge and fabric.

put file named .env along the docker-compose.yml to supply the "secrets"

WLIST="Player1,Player2,Player3"

Thanks. If we end up wanting to switch things up I'll check it out. I've been using Fabric because the client loads things so much faster, though I haven't made any recent comparisons. About a year ago when I first started using Fabric it was a difference in actual real time minutes.
