## Common questions

### How do I start the packaged Docker deployment?

Run docker compose up --build in the app folder so Docker Compose builds and starts the containers.

### Which Java 8 update fixed a Create Above and Beyond server connection problem reported by a user?

The user fixed it by installing Java 8 update 311, also called JDK 8u311, instead of JDK 8u411.

### Why can a Create Above and Beyond client show mismatched mod errors on connect?

The client must have the same mods as the server; one user fixed the connection issue by removing Carry On from the client.

### Can Create Above and Beyond be installed by placing its zip file into the mods folder?

No, it is a modpack, not a single mod, and it already includes Create and Flywheel; use a launcher to install it.
