BisectHosting Server Integration Menu Mod FAQ
17 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I open the BisectHosting server menu in game?
Open the multiplayer screen and look for the BisectHosting button or tab added by the mod. Clicking it opens the integration menu where you can browse public servers, buy a server, or get a plan recommendation.
Why can't I see the BisectHosting menu button?
The button only appears on the multiplayer screen, so make sure you're not in a singleplayer world. If it's still missing, check that the mod is actually loaded in your mod list and that no other menu mod is overriding the multiplayer screen.
How do I make my modded server public so anyone can join?
Use the in-game menu to enable the public listing option for your server, which submits it to the public server browser. Once listed, other players can find and join it through the same integration menu.
Can I buy a server without leaving Minecraft?
Yes, the menu lets you purchase a BisectHosting server directly from inside the game. You pick your plan options like RAM and player slots, then complete the purchase through the linked checkout.
How does the mod know which server plan I need?
It detects the modpack you're currently playing and matches it against known resource requirements to suggest a suitable plan. The recommendation is a starting point, so bump up RAM or slots if you plan to add extra mods or players.
Is the server plan recommendation always accurate?
It's based on the modpack's typical needs, so it can undershoot if you've added many extra mods or run lots of players. Treat it as a baseline and upgrade if you see lag or out-of-memory crashes.
Do other players need this mod to join my public server?
No, they only need the mod if they want to find and join your server through the in-game menu. They can still connect the normal way by entering your server address directly.
How do I find public modded servers to join?
Open the integration menu from the multiplayer screen and browse the public server list. You can join a listed server directly from there without typing an IP address.
Does this mod work on a server, or is it client-side only?
The menu and purchasing features are client-side, but making your server publicly listed requires the server side to support it. Check that your server setup is compatible before expecting your server to appear in the public list.
Will this mod cause lag or performance problems?
The mod itself is lightweight since it mainly adds menu screens and server listing calls. Any lag you experience is far more likely to come from your modpack or an undersized server plan than from this mod.
Why don't I see the BisectHosting menu on my main menu?
The menu is accessed through the multiplayer screen rather than the main menu, so click Multiplayer first. If it still doesn't appear, make sure the mod is actually loaded for the modpack instance you launched.
How does the mod know which server plan to recommend?
It detects the modpack you're currently playing and matches it against known server requirements. The recommendation suggests a plan with enough RAM and player slots for that pack, but you can still adjust the options yourself.
How do I find and join public modded servers?
Open the BisectHosting menu from the multiplayer screen and browse the public server list. Select a server and join it directly, as long as you have the matching mods installed.
Do I need the same mods installed to join a public server?
Yes, modded servers require matching mods on the client side, so install the same modpack or mod list the server uses. If versions or mods don't match, the connection will be rejected.
Is the BisectHosting menu mod required on the server too?
The menu features are mainly client-side for browsing and buying, but making your server public relies on the BisectHosting server integration. Check that the server side supports the public listing feature before expecting it to appear.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod is a menu and integration tool, so it doesn't add world content or heavy tick logic. Any lag you see is far more likely from the modpack itself or the server's allocated resources.
Does the BisectHosting menu work with any modpack?
It works alongside most modpacks since it only adds a menu and server integration layer. The plan recommendation is most accurate for packs it recognizes, but you can still buy and configure a server manually for others.
