FOR SERVER OWNERS

Run your server. Stop installing mods for your players.

PackRelay turns your modpack into a signed manifest. Players join, the launcher syncs, you stop being tech support.

THE NEW PLAYBOOK

Two ways to run a modded server

Without PackRelay
  • ZIPs scattered across Discord channels and Google Drive folders
  • Players DM you at 2am when a mod doesn't sync
  • Pack updates break someone's install every single time
  • No way to prove the files in a player's game match yours
  • Onboarding a new player is a 30-minute screenshare
With PackRelay
  • One signed manifest. One source of truth.
  • Players auto-sync the second they join your server
  • Updates roll out cleanly — diff-only downloads, never a full reinstall
  • Cryptographic signatures prove the pack hasn't been tampered with
  • Onboarding is “click the launcher, click your server, play”
PUBLISHING FLOW

Four commands. One pack. Every player synced.

  1. 1

    Generate a signing key

    The PackRelay CLI mints an Ed25519 keypair. The public half lives on packrelay.cloud; the private half stays on your machine. Lose neither.

  2. 2

    Author the manifest

    Drop your mod folder into the CLI. It hashes every file, picks up your description and version, and writes a manifest.json.

  3. 3

    Sign and publish

    One command signs the manifest with your key and pushes it. The pack gets scanned, then becomes available for attachment.

  4. 4

    Attach to your server(s)

    Point one server — or several — at the published version. Player launchers pick up the new manifest automatically on their next connect.

~ packrelay-cli
# One-time setup
$ packrelay login
✓ Logged in as darkrising.gg

$ packrelay key generate --name "main"
✓ Wrote ./packrelay.key (keep this safe)
✓ Published public key as darkrising.gg/main

# Per release
$ packrelay pack init the-veiled-eclipse
$ packrelay pack add ./Mods/EclipseLighting
$ packrelay pack add ./Mods/HardcoreLoot
$ packrelay pack sign --key ./packrelay.key
✓ Signed manifest the-veiled-eclipse@1.4.2

$ packrelay pack publish
✓ Scanned: clean
✓ Published the-veiled-eclipse@1.4.2

$ packrelay server attach eclipse-pve the-veiled-eclipse@1.4.2
✓ Attached. Players will sync on next connect.

The CLI is in active development. CLI shape may shift before 1.0.

WHAT YOU GET

Tooling that scales with your community

Multi-server attach

Run a PvE box and a PvP box on the same pack? Attach once, publish once, both stay in sync.

Versioned releases

Publish 1.4.3 without breaking your 1.4.2 players. Roll forward at your own pace.

Staff seats

Delegate publish access to co-admins. They sign with their own keys, audited under your org.

Signed by you

Players see your publisher name in the launcher before any file lands. Reputation compounds.

Scanned for you

Every published pack goes through automated scanning before it's available — see Terms §4.3.

Listed in /browse

Opt in to PackRelay's public pack directory and let new players discover your server.

PRICING
