This page is dedicated to help you with setting up servers and more.
Set up your own server
Introduction
Make sure you know how to set up a basic (vanilla) Minecraft server. Here are some good articles about the basics for vanilla:
Minecraft.net – How To Setup A Minecraft: Java Server
Minecraft Wiki – Tutorials/Setting up a server
YouTube – Minecraft 1.20 Server Tutorial
A main difference between vanilla Minecraft and modded Minecraft is that hosting a server with Beyond Mines requires more memory than a vanilla server. Make sure your server has enough resources (usually 3-8GB, depends on playercount and entity management) before continuing.
Java
Make sure you have the right version of Java installed. A common issue is having 32-bit Java or the wrong Java version for your Minecraft version. All Beyond Mines packs need 64-bit Java. Get the latest Java OpenJDK by Adoptium here:

Make sure to restart your system after installing or changing Java.

This article on the Minecraft Wiki provides a good starting point, but the exact method will vary depending on your router model. Here are some useful lnks for popular router models:
