About this Modpack

Presentation

BioTechnica Challenge is a Minecraft event like a Terminator (the opposite of the Manhunt).

This event can be streamed or recorded and uploaded to a streaming plateform: it's pretty fun to watch this type of content.

You can also add semi-rp to take away some of the boring aspects of survival on Minecraft.

The rules of this event

  • Several players (the heros) with one life against one speedrunner (the hunter) with multiple life
  • The goal of the heros is to kill the Ender Dragon and to build a house with farms and redstone systems
  • The goal of the hunter is to kill the heros

Play

To play with this modpack, you must install it on the server-side and on the client-side.

Client Side

To install it on the client-side, install it as a normal Modrinth modpack.

Follow these instructions if you don't know how to install it.

If you don't know wich launcher used, I recommend you to use the PrismLauncher.

Server Side

There are two ways to install the modpack on the server side: Docker and mrpack-install.

Docker

Follow these steps to install it with Docker:

  1. Install Docker
  2. Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/anhgelus/biotechnica-challenge.git
  3. Go into the folder called "docker" inside the cloned repo cd biotechnica-challenge/docker
  4. Rename the .env.example into .env mv .env.example .env
  5. Setup the environment variables inside the .env
    • MODPACK_LINK - Direct link to download the modpack (get it from Modrinth). It should look like this https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/t8UHSB82/versions/IDTqzFur/BioTechnica-Challenge-0.6.0.mrpack (outdated link here but the latest should look very similar to this)
    • EULA - Accept the Minecraft's EULA
    • MEMORY - The memory used by the server (at least 2G)
  6. And start the container ! docker compose up -d --build

mrpack-install

Follow these steps to install the modpack with mrpack-install:

  1. Install mrpack-install
  2. Get a direct link to download the modpack. It should look like this https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/t8UHSB82/versions/IDTqzFur/BioTechnica-Challenge-0.6.0.mrpack.
  3. Run mrpack-install LINK_TO_THE_MODPACK. It will create a folder called mc
  4. Go into this folder cd mc
  5. Start the server with java -jar quilt-server-launch.jar nogui.

Generating the server with Docker but running it outside of Docker

You don't want to install mrpack-install?

Just follow the steps to install it with Docker and stop it when Minecraft server start (you can see when it starts with docker compose logs).

It will create a folder called minecraft-data and follow these steps:

  1. Give you the own of the folder chown -R user:user minecraft-data
  2. Go into this folder cd minecraft-data
  3. Start the server with java -jar quilt-server-launch.jar nogui.

Frequently Asked Questions

BioTechnica Challenge server crashes or won't start – what to do?

Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong quilt loader. Check latest.log for "OutOfMemoryError" → increase RAM to at least 6 GB. For "Mixin" or "ClassNotFoundException" errors: modpack version and loader don't match. With Mado Hosting, loader and Minecraft version are auto-configured on modpack install – preventing most startup issues.

How much RAM does a BioTechnica Challenge server really need?

Minimum 4 GB, recommended 6 GB for stable performance. per 8 players. Important: Minecraft modpacks need more RAM than vanilla – plan extra per additional player. With Mado Hosting, you can scale RAM up live at any time without data loss (from €8/month).

Can I add custom mods to BioTechnica Challenge without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (quilt) and same Minecraft version (1.19.4). Common issues: ID conflicts with recipe mods and incompatible coremod versions. The Mado dashboard mod browser only shows compatible mods and warns about known conflicts.

BioTechnica Challenge server lagging – performance tips

1) Increase RAM to 6 GB+. 2) Reduce server view-distance to 8 (server.properties). 3) Pre-generate chunks with the "Chunky" plugin. 4) Use /spark profiler to check which mods consume the most tick time. With Mado Hosting, all servers run on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores – eliminating hardware as a bottleneck.
