ServerPackCreator
ServerPackCreator creates a server pack from any given Forge, Fabric, Quilt, LegacyFabric and NeoForge modpack.
Whenever you are working on an update to your modpack, you simply run ServerPackCreator and BAM! You've got yourself a server pack for your new modpack version.
- ServerPackCreator is not a guarantee for working server packs. It helps you create them, but you must still test them!
- You are still expected to be knowledgeable about your modpack, server packs in general, server administration and managing your Java installations. ServerPackCreator is not intended to take all the work off your shoulders!
- When using alpha, beta or in-dev version of ServerPackCreator, it is advised to make a backup of your ServerPackCreator-directory in your home-directory.
- Things will break with alpha releases, stuff may break when using beta releases.
- If you distribute server packs generated with a pre-release (alpha, beta) of ServerPackCreator, you do so at your own risk.
- I (Griefed) will not be held responsible for errors in your server pack caused by you using a pre-release.
- I (Griefed) will not be held responsible for errors in your server pack in general. Test your server packs before you ship them!
Compatibility: Uses the C library of the system (may need glibc 2.15 or later)

Usage
ServerPackCreator is available as an AppImage which means "one app = one file", which you can download and run on your Linux system while you don't need a package manager and nothing gets changed in your system. Awesome!
AppImages are single-file applications that run on most Linux distributions. Download an application, make it executable, and run! No need to install. No system libraries or system preferences are altered. Most AppImages run on recent versions of Arch Linux, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Red Hat, Ubuntu, and other common desktop distributions.
This AppImage uses the C library of the system and may need glibc 2.15 or later. It does not run on distributions that use a different C library (such as musl on Alpine Linux) or an older glibc.
Running ServerPackCreator on Linux without installation
Unlike other applications, AppImages do not need to be installed before they can be used. However, they need to be marked as executable before they can be run. This is a Linux security feature.Beware! AppImages are usually not verified by others. Follow these instructions only if you trust the developer of the software. Use at your own risk!
Download the ServerPackCreator AppImage and make it executable using your file manager or by entering the following commands in a terminal:
chmod +x ./*.AppImageThen double-click the AppImage in the file manager to open it.
Sandboxing ServerPackCreator
If you want to restrict what ServerPackCreator can do on your system, you can run the AppImage in a sandbox like Firejail. This is entirely optional and currently needs to be configured by the user.
Updating ServerPackCreator
If you would like to update to a new version, simply download the new ServerPackCreator AppImage.
Integrating AppImages into the system
If you would like to have the executable bit set automatically, and would like to see ServerPackCreator and other AppImages integrated into the system (menus, icons, file type associations, etc.), then you may want to check the optional appimaged daemon.
Note for application authors
Thanks for distributing ServerPackCreator in the AppImage format for all common Linux distributions. Great! Here are some ideas on how to make it even better.
Pro Tips for further enhancing the ServerPackCreator AppImage
Please consider to add update information to the ServerPackCreator AppImage and ship a .zsync file so that it can be updated using AppImageUpdate. Tools like appimagetool and linuxdeployqt can do this for you easily.
Please consider making the ServerPackCreator AppImage self-contained, so that it does not depend on the C library of the system and runs on more distributions: ship the C library including its loader (ld-linux-*.so.*) and use it to launch the application, or link statically.
Thanks for shipping AppStream metainfo inside your AppImage. Please open a pull request on https://github.com/AppImage/appimage.github.io/blob/master/data/ServerPackCreator if you have changed it and would like to see this page updated accordingly.
