# Minecraft Modpack Server Setup

## When to use
- User wants to set up a modded Minecraft server from a server pack zip
- User needs help with NeoForge/Forge server configuration
- User asks about Minecraft server performance tuning or backups

## Gather User Preferences First
Before starting setup, ask the user for:
- **Server name / MOTD** — what should it say in the server list?
- **Seed** — specific seed or random?
- **Difficulty** — peaceful / easy / normal / hard?
- **Gamemode** — survival / creative / adventure?
- **Online mode** — true (Mojang auth, legit accounts) or false (LAN/cracked friendly)?
- **Player count** — how many players expected? (affects RAM & view distance tuning)
- **RAM allocation** — or let agent decide based on mod count & available RAM?
- **View distance / simulation distance** — or let agent pick based on player count & hardware?
- **PvP** — on or off?
- **Whitelist** — open server or whitelist only?
- **Backups** — want automated backups? How often?

Use sensible defaults if the user doesn't care, but always ask before generating the config.

## Steps

### 1. Download & Inspect the Pack
```bash
mkdir -p ~/minecraft-server
cd ~/minecraft-server
wget -O serverpack.zip "<URL>"
unzip -o serverpack.zip -d server
ls server/
```
Look for: `startserver.sh`, installer jar (neoforge/forge), `user_jvm_args.txt`, `mods/` folder.
