What is SkyFactory One?
SkyFactory One brings the series' original concept back to Minecraft 1.16.5: an official remake by the Darkosto team that reimagines the classic tree start in a modern, accessible way.
Starting from a single tree, you earn every resource through farming and automation — leaner and more direct than later SkyFactory editions.
SkyFactory One focuses on the core: chop the tree, breed saplings, sieve resources and automate step by step — without the bloat of later editions, but with modern 1.16 tech.
It is the ideal way into the skyblock genre with friends: progress is felt quickly, the island stays manageable, and the compact world runs smoothly even on smaller configurations.
We install the official server pack from CurseForge (project 450839); the installer reads the Forge version straight from the pack manifest. In our boot test on 19 July 2026 the server ran on Forge 36.2.34 with Java 8 and used about 3.7 GB of RAM right after starting — the recommended 6 GB leaves headroom for farms and automation.

Frequently asked questions
Does the button use the matching configuration?
Yes. The wizard preselects the matching loader; modpack pages also load only the verified featured pack.
Can I change version and RAM later?
Yes. Always check compatibility and create a backup before changing versions.
Do players need the modpack on their own PC?
Yes. Every player installs SkyFactory One through the CurseForge App, then connects to your server.
What is the difference to SkyFactory 4?
SkyFactory One is the modernized, leaner remake of the original concept on 1.16.5. SkyFactory 4 is the large 1.12.2 prestige pack with significantly more mods and scope.
Is 6 GB RAM enough?
Stable for 5 to 9 players, yes. With more players or larger farms you can raise the RAM in the panel at any time.
