The recommended method above applies equally to adding server modpacks to AMP.

You can symlink the Minecraft directory under the new instanceвЂ™s datastore to your existing directory.

Make sure to check the ownership/permissions to allow the user AMP is running as to have full read/write access.

In the new instanceвЂ™s datastore, there will be a file called MinecraftModule.kvp containing the configuration data for that module, you can edit the ServerPath setting to point to the absolute path on-disk of your existing server.

Right click your server's jar file and select the 'Set as startup jar' option.

Note that this option is only available when using the instance's File Manager, not the ADS File Manager.

Right click the server.properties file and select the 'Import Configuration' option.

Alternatively, go to the datastore directory for that instance and extract it as the user that AMP is running as.
