Frequently asked questions
What is SkyFactory 5?
SkyFactory 5 is the latest entry in the long-running SkyFactory skyblock series, built on Forge and Minecraft 1.20.1. You start floating in an empty void with almost nothing and bootstrap an entire world from there: sieve resources, grow trees, unlock tech and magic mods, and automate every step until your islands run themselves. It keeps the signature loop of the series - turn a single tree and a handful of dirt into fully automated resource farms - while adding new progression, mods and challenges over SkyFactory 4.
Pack releases and client downloads
- Latest recommended at installation (can change) — Matching client download · Build with this release
Minecraft and loader versions are bundled with each pack release. Use the same pack release on every client. Listed release IDs are installer options; they do not guarantee that every historical release will start successfully. Custom releases can be selected in the builder, but are not verified supported versions.
How much RAM do I need for SkyFactory 5?
The pack needs at least 6 GB of RAM, so it runs on the paid sizes - the size list on this page shows which ones qualify and what they cost.
What do my players need to join?
Players install SkyFactory 5 through the CurseForge app and connect with your server address. Everyone needs the same pack version, which is the pinned one your server runs.
Is it better solo or with friends?
It works solo as a skyblock progression pack, but it really shines in co-op - splitting up the resource farms and automation projects on a shared island is where the pack is most fun.
Can I switch my server to a different modpack later?
Yes. Open Server settings on the dashboard and choose Rebuild server. Switching permanently deletes every world, file, mod, configuration, and backup on that server; the rebuild costs $0 when its RAM tier stays the same, and its billing cycle and server address do not change.
