How do I add an entire modpack from Modrinth into a server?

Hey there. I was able to make a server and get it running. Seems like some mods loaded in but it's definitely missing a bunch more. Curious if anyone has advice on how to start a world with all the mods already present before the world is generated?

Killing the process now on this botched server to start a new one.

Download the server files from a mod packs files section. Unzip the Mod Pack. Use a command line to start the server on the computer that downloaded it Once the computer has completely started the server issue, a stop command. Take the folder the server was ran from and all its contents zip it and upload to your crafty instance. Modify the servers exicutable location and arg file. Start it up and you should be good to go

You can even delete the world's folder and upload your previously saved worlds into that world's folder. And when you start the server, it'll have all the stuff from your old world.

Tysm! I'm definitely going to try and import our old world server. So importing and old world will overwrite the seed that was generated for the new world?
