What to install
| Workshop item | ID | Size |
|---|---|---|
| Calamity Mod | 2824688072 | about 400 MB |
| Calamity Mod Music (required by it) | 2824688266 | about 700 MB |
On a Flux server, add Calamity in the Mods tab (or put 2824688072 in Workshop Mods when you deploy): the music mod comes with it, as its dependency. Add-ons and libraries are added the same way.
The world
- Make the world on the server or upload one: a large world suits a group.
- Expert or Master difficulty, set when the world is made (the Worlds tab), is what Calamity's own harder modes build on; those are switched on in game.
- Calamity's server-side settings are in the Mod Configs tab once the file exists.
Memory
In our test Calamity, its music and Magic Storage idled at about 1.6 GB on a new large Master world. Play takes it well beyond that, which is why our Calamity plan has 5 GB; Calamity together with Thorium or other big mods is our Big Modpacks plan.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light Mods | 1.5 vCores | 3 GB | 15 GB SSD | Vanilla-plus and quality-of-life mods | $4.49/mo |
| Calamity | 2 vCores | 5 GB | 25 GB SSD | One big content mod and its add-ons | $5.49/mo |
| Big Modpacks | 3 vCores | 8 GB | 35 GB SSD | Calamity + Thorium + more, large worlds | $7.99/mo |
