1. EVERYONE in the server must follow BOTH of these guides:

https://rebirth-of-the-night-mod-pack.fandom.com/wiki/Installation#Installing_Optifine_.28required.21.29


2. Port forward the port 25565.
Here are some links to help you port forward:
https://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/how-to-host-and-configure-a-minecraft-server-with-no-ip/
http://www.portchecktool.com/

3. Open "Start Server.bat". (don't open as Admin) If it brings up an issue about Java, edit the .bat file with a text editor and replace "Java" with the location to your Java installation (usually "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre8\bin\javaw.exe").

4. Lots of biome errors will show at the end. That's when you know the server has started. (waiting on a fix)

5. Connect to the server.


If you get an error about invalid maximum heap size, it's likely because of your java version. Download "Java 64bit Offline" on the java website.

Only increase RAM if you plan to play with many people!
If you want to increase the server RAM, edit "Start Server.bat" with a text editor and replace the entire thing with:
@ECHO OFF
java -Xmx6048M -Xms6048M -jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2838-universal.jar nogui
pause

The server has 4GB by default, which should be plenty, but if you plan to have more than 4-5 people play, change it to 6GB maximum, any left over (extra) RAM will cause lag.
