Hi, I have just recently purchased an OVH server and I am running a windows server 2012 OS. I am hoping to host a feed the beast server so which control panel would be the best to use for FTB.

I personally use McMyAdmin just so my server staff can remotely controll it without giving them my SSH keys.

It can easily make scheduled events, multicraft can also do that along with many other panels but I think multicraft and McMyAdmin are the best for FTB to data but that is my opinion and I have not used many different ones so take what I say lightly.

Both can be customized however multicraft is slightly cheaper for multiple servers and better at managing large networks. However you will be more limited with a windows OS here as most good controll panels are for Linux partly because it is easier to devolope, if you were running Debian or CentOS etc you could probably run all panels on minecraft wiki and see which ones you like the best. http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Programs_and_editors/Server_wrappers


But also keep in mind any and all minecraft control panels do ABSOLUTLY NOTHING MORE THEN that you can't do with a simple shell script and python script. Some do even limit you however look prettier. If I didn't have staff that I don't want having SSh access I would just run it on a screen session via "screen" and do everything with python like schedules, auto saves, etc.


Side note, why did you choose a windows OS for a minecraft server? I'm not saying its bad but I'm Just curious.

I tried to use MCmyadmin but it did not seem to work very well with running the modpack. Any tips on setting it up with mods.

I'm not exactly sure what the error was it would not register a crash report it would try to start up and crash after about 30 seconds. Do you know of any good guides for setting up the mods?

You follow the install guide on McMyAdmin, then once it's up and running download and install the server files in */mcmyadminfolder/Minecraft

After that rename your server.jar to ftbserver.jar and in the McMyAdmin config in the panel or the actual file set it to feed-the-beast mode. Then you can start it.

I use OVH too *high five for awesome host*. I use Multicraft on CentOS 6.5 (Linux.. Idk why you would go with windows because it is horrible), works like a charm. Running 13 servers on 2 OVH boxes (Upgrading to 3 soon) and multicraft handles them all well. I can schedule what i need, and give my staff access to only certain servers.

I'd just like to respond to the windows statement, it would be better to say "I think windows is horrid" instead of telling us what is what. Windows is required for pretty much every professional application on servers. Just so you know.
