It runs on Datapack and Fabric, so it slots into a matching Minecraft profile without hand-patching anything. Strongheld is free to download and free to host on Orca: press Play and Orca launches Minecraft with Strongheld already installed, or host it on a free server to play with friends. There is no control panel and no config files to edit, and no command line to learn. Describe what you want in plain English and Orca installs Strongheld along with the loader and Minecraft version it needs, then you and your friends are playing in minutes.
