Server Setup Guide

This guide walks you through setting up a Naruto Destination server from scratch, including the recommended server jar, plugins, and client modpack.

Prerequisites

  • Minecraft 1.7.10
  • Java 8 (required for Forge 1.7.10)
  • A server machine or hosting service

Step 1: Server Jar

We strongly recommend using Crucible as your server jar. Crucible is a maintained fork for Forge 1.7.10 that provides Bukkit/Spigot plugin support alongside Forge mods.

Download Crucible v5.4

Libraries Folder

If you use Crucible, you must also replace your libraries/ folder with the one provided on their page. Without this, the server may fail to start or have compatibility issues.

Setting Up Crucible

  1. Download Crucible.jar from the link above
  2. Place it in your server root directory
  3. Replace the libraries/ folder with the one from the Crucible github page

  4. Create a start script:

    java -Xmx4G -Xms2G -jar Crucible.jar nogui

  5. Run the server once to generate config files, then stop it

  6. Accept the EULA in eula.txt

Step 2: Install Naruto Destination

  1. Download the latest version of the mod from the button below
  2. Place the .jar file into your server's mods/ folder
  3. Start the server — the mod automatically installs all dependencies on first startup
  4. Place the same .jar into your client modpack's mods/ folder

Version Matching

Only the two major version numbers need to match between server and client.

For example, with version 1.16.2:

  • Server: 1.16.2 and Client: 1.16.5 — Compatible (both 1.16)
  • Server: 1.16.2 and Client: 1.17.0 — Not compatible (different minor version)

Step 3: Plugins

Since Crucible supports Bukkit/Spigot plugins, here are the recommended plugins for your server:

Step 5: Configuration

After first startup, the mod generates config files in config/NarutoDestination/. These control everything from XP rates to jutsu damage.
