Everything your SkyFactory 4 server needs

SkyFactory 4 has two server settings that single-player never shows you: the world preset and prestige. Get them right before the first island exists.

SkyFactory 4 is the skyblock pack by Darkosto, Firstnecron and Blargerist for Minecraft 1.12.2 on Forge. You start on a single tree in the void and grow resources from Sky Orchards trees, pick from more than 30 world types, and can play with an optional prestige system whose unlocks are global. Release 4.2.4 from December 2021 is the last one.

As a 1.12.2 pack it needs Java 8 on the server. The official 4.2.4 Server Files are downloaded from the pack's CurseForge files; after unpacking, Forge for 1.12.2 is installed before the first start.

The SkyFactory 4 multiplayer wiki lists the settings a dedicated server needs. The world type is chosen through server.properties with generator-settings set to the Sky Factory 4 topography preset and level-type=DEFAULT, and prestige is enabled in prestige.cfg — a change you have to make again after every server update. Islands are handled with /topography island commands, teams with Together Forever.

Your SkyFactory 4 server runs in Frankfurt on high-clock CPUs and NVMe SSDs, protected by multi-Tbps Anti-DDoS and supported by our in-house team.

  • Java 8 for Forge 1.12.2

    SkyFactory 4 is a 1.12.2 pack, so the server runs on Java 8 — the most common reason an upload of the server files will not boot.

  • The Sky Factory 4 world preset

    The multiplayer wiki sets generator-settings to the Sky Factory 4 topography preset with level-type=DEFAULT. Set it before the world is created.

  • Prestige, enabled properly

    Prestige is turned on in prestige.cfg. The wiki warns to redo that change after every update, and server prestige is separate from single-player.

  • Islands and teams

    /topography island new, home and set manage islands; Together Forever handles team invites, so each group builds its own base.

  • Watch your item ducts

    A known SkyFactory 4 issue: Thermal item ducts pushing into full inventories can cost several TPS. Fast CPUs help, tidy logistics help more.

  • Protected void worlds

    Multi-Tbps filtering in Frankfurt keeps shared islands reachable around the clock.

How our protection works

SkyFactory 4 hosting questions, answered

How much RAM does a SkyFactory 4 server need?

Four gigabytes suits two to four players on a few islands, 6 GB an active server with automated orchards and transport, and 8 GB or more a larger community. Automation drives load more than headcount.

Which Java and Minecraft version does SkyFactory 4 use?

SkyFactory 4 runs Minecraft 1.12.2 on Forge and needs Java 8 on the server. Version 4.2.4 (December 2021) is the final release.

How do I set the SkyFactory 4 world type on a server?

In server.properties, set generator-settings to the Sky Factory 4 topography preset and keep level-type=DEFAULT, as the official multiplayer wiki shows. Do it before the world is generated.

How do I enable prestige on a SkyFactory 4 server?

Set Prestige Enabled Default to true in prestige.cfg. The wiki notes you must redo this after every server update, and that prestige earned on a server is separate from single-player.

What is the difference between SkyFactory 4 and 5?

SkyFactory 4 is on Minecraft 1.12.2 with Java 8, resource trees and prestige. SkyFactory 5 moved to 1.20.1 with Java 17, colour-based progression and Create. They are separate installs and worlds.

Do you install SkyFactory 4 for me?

Yes — SkyFactory 4 is a one-click install from the panel on Forge 1.12.2. You can also upload the official Server Files.

A SkyFactory 4 server runs on our Minecraft plans, which start from €13.00 per month with one-click modpack install and Anti-DDoS included. Bigger packs and more players need more RAM, so choose the plan to match.
