AMP Server Setup

Warning

This guide is outdated as of 6/1/24. Guide will be updated to AMP’s new UI.

AMP Install Guide

This is a guide for installing ATM9 (and possibly other packs) on CubeCoderz’s AMP gameserver hosting software!

Info

The current version of AMP as of the creation of this guide is 2.5.0.4. As the software is updated, the exact location of settings may change.

Warning

This guide is currently hosted by the official ATM website/Discord. If found anywhere else please advise them to delete it and instead link to this official version.

This guide assumes:
  • You have fully installed the AMP software and have successfully gained access to the web based GUI. If you need help installing the base software please refer to the CubeCoderz Documentation.
  • You have already downloaded the latest version of the ATM Pack ServerFiles and have unzipped them into a folder.

Creating a New Instance.

  • Under Select Application, choose Minecraft Java Edition.
  • Under Friendly Name, pick a name to reference the server such as ATM9.
  • Under After Creation, pick Do Nothing.
Note

If you do not want the instance to start every time AMP is started, uncheck the Start Instance on Boot option. This is on by default.

  • Select Create Instance

Configuring Server Settings

  • Choose Manage from the newly created instance

  • On the left menu, select Configuration and then Server Settings

Change the following:

  • Server type: Forge
  • Forge Version: Change to current Forge version.
    • For this example the current version is 47.2.20.
  • View Distance: 8
  • Simulation Distance: 6
  • Use Synchronous IO: off

  • On the left menu, select Security and Privacy

Change the following:

  • Require Session IP Stickiness: off

  • On the left menu, select Performance and Limits

Change the following:

  • Max View Distance: 8
  • Enable Sleep Mode: off
  • Stop Timeout: 60000
  • Backup Count Limit: 3

On the left menu, select Monitoring and Metrics

Change the following:

  • Console Scrollback Period: 120

On the left menu, select Java and Memory

Change the following:

  • Memory Limit (MB): Min: 6144. Max: 16384

Anything over 16384 requires changing the GC settings and is beyond the scope of this guide.

  • Additional java options: Paste in the server java arguments from the user_jvm.txt without the first two lines xmx or xms

-XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -XX:G1NewSizePercent=30 -XX:G1MaxNewSizePercent=40 -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=8M -XX:G1ReservePercent=20 -XX:G1HeapWastePercent=5 -XX:G1MixedGCCountTarget=4 -XX:InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent=15 -XX:G1MixedGCLiveThresholdPercent=90 -XX:G1RSetUpdatingPauseTimePercent=5 -XX:SurvivorRatio=32 -XX:+PerfDisableSharedMem -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=1

  • Java Version: Java 17
Note

If Java 17 is not in the dropdown list, you need to close AMP completely, install Java 17 to the server, then restart AMP.

On the left menu, select Gameplay and Difficulty

Change the following:

  • Op permission level: 3:Kick/ban/op players
    • This is changed to keep OP users from running spark report from in-game. Spark reports should only be done from the server console directly.
  • Spawn Protection Radius: 1
  • Allow PvP: on
  • Allow Flight: on
  • Allow Command Blocks: on
  • Player idle timeout: 0
    • Can be done via mods instead or you can change this setting to your preference, but can lead to ‘ghost players’ on occasion stuck in the AMP menus as showing online after they have been kicked.
  • Use Whitelist: Don’t change from default off
    • Highly recommended to use this feature, but only after the server is successfully running
  • Max tick Time: -1

Installing Server Forge

Click the Back arrow at the top of the left menu

Select Console from the left menu and then click Update from the middle screen.

Wait while the server downloads and installs the selected forge version.

This can take several minutes depending on your server specs and internet connection

When it finishes it should say The server installed successfully; if it does not please doublecheck the above settings and verify you have selected the appropriate Forge Version.

Importing the Server Files

On the left menu, select File Manager

The easiest way to import the server files is to unzip the files and create a new zip

  • To remove the double-wrapping (zipping a folder instead of a group of files) of the files:
    • Extract the serverfiles you downloaded from CurseForge into a folder.
    • Go into the folder inside that folder and then select all the files and re-zip.

I recommend using 7zip as this is what I have used for testing

Make sure you save as .zip and not .7z

Drag the newly created zip file into the File Manager window. Once it finishes you may need to refresh the page to see the file in the file list.

Right click the .zip file in the list and chose Extract Here.

This may take several minutes depending on your server specs and storage speed.

Once it finishes you may need to refresh the page to see the newly extracted files populated in the list.

Starting the Server

Select Console from the left menu and click Start.

  • Accept the EULA that pops up

The server will now start. This can take several minutes depending on your server specs and storage speed.

Note

Errors are normal and to be expected as long as it continues loading. Be patient as the first startup usually takes time while it creates all the needed files, configs, folders, etc.

You will know it is finished when the notification window in the bottom right disappears and the server says Dedicated server took XXX.XX seconds to load.

It is recommended after the first startup to stop the server, using the red Stop button at the top, and then start it again.

  • Try to connect to the server and verify operation
  • If you need to add server admin mods you would place them into the mods folder under File Manager while the server is stopped; you can edit files directly from within the file manager in AMP for making changes to the txt config files.

Only edit, add, or remove files WHILE THE SERVER IS STOPPED!

Changing Server Properties

All settings within server.properties are in independent tabs in the various settings in AMP and it is recreated every server startup.

CHANGES TO server.properties FILE WILL NEVER SAVE!

Changing Server Type

If you need to edit the world type for example, to run a Skyblock server, you would change it under Configuration > Server Settings > World Type.
