Pastel

A small friend for your Minecraft server.

Pastel lives in your server folder. Give it a modpack and it handles the awkward parts: the downloads, loader setup, the right Java, keeping everything on the version you picked, and bringing a crashed server back online.

Getting started

  1. 1

    Put Pastel in the folder that will hold your server.

  2. 2

    Tell it which modpack you want to use.

  3. 3

    Start Minecraft. Pastel stays nearby when you need it.

1. Put Pastel in your server folder

Open that folder in a terminal and paste this:

curl -fsSL https://kaf.sh/pastel/install.sh | sh

A few promises

Pastel is careful about the things you trust it with.

  • Checks the files and runtimes it downloads.
  • Restarts crashed background servers unless you turn it off.
  • Verifies each release before updating itself.
  • Waits for the server to stop before changing the pack.
  • Leaves your world/ folder alone.
  • Lets you preview a refresh before it happens.
