Each ARK map is its own world and save. Switching loads that map's world — your other worlds are kept on disk. Link maps into a cluster to let survivors transfer characters, dinos and items between them.

Cluster

Give several servers the same cluster ID and OverWarden shares their transfer storage — survivors move between maps with their dinos and gear.

CRASH TRIAGE fingerprint c41f·9a — first seen 12 min ago

A mod failed while generating new terrain

The mod createchaos 0.9.1 threw a NullPointerException during world generation. This build is known to be incompatible with NeoForge 25.4. Confidence: high (known crash, cached diagnosis).

Destructive actions ask twice. A snapshot is always taken before anything is applied.

The rules are fixed — no setting loosens them.

Mods come from CurseForge

ARK: Survival Ascended uses CurseForge (not Steam Workshop). Add a mod's numeric project ID — OverWarden downloads it on the next start and adds it to -mods=. Players are auto-prompted to install matching mods when they join. Load order matters: active mods load top-to-bottom.

Mods

👥

Everyone who joins needs these mods too

A Minecraft mod runs on the server and on each player's own computer. Your friends have to install the same mods before they can connect — without them, Minecraft won't let them join. The easy way: send them the client pack and they install everything in one click.

ℹThis server was adopted, so OverWarden knows the pack name from its manifest but not the full mod list — the mods were installed outside OverWarden. Everything still works; the list below just can't be split into pack vs. added.

↓The list above is what the pack shipped — read from its files, so there are no per-mod controls. The managed list below is what OverWarden can update, configure or remove one at a time.

No mods on this server yet

Content mods change the game itself — new dimensions, machines, creatures. To add them, OverWarden switches this server to Fabric (your world is kept and snapshotted first). Everyone who joins then installs the matching mods.

This is a plugin server — no mods here yet

Right now this server runs plugins, so friends join with plain vanilla Minecraft. Content mods run on a different engine — OverWarden can switch to a hybrid that runs both at once. Your world and plugins are kept, and a snapshot is taken first. Heads up: hybrids are a little less stable, and some authors won't support them.

No plugins on this server yet

Plugins add server-side features — homes, shops, permissions, anti-grief — and the best part is your friends join with plain vanilla Minecraft, nothing to install. To add them, OverWarden switches this server to Paper (your world is kept and snapshotted first).
