This process mirrors how you copy your mods into the server's files. Any mismatch here between client and server can result in mods simply not working, mods crashing the server, or placed blocks turning into completely different blocks.įind your config files, and place them into the server's config/ folder exactly the same way they are in your client’s files. Mods use configuration files to know which options are enabled and how their blocks are stored in the world save. (Note: Modern versions of Forge no longer need this careful separation, and now will just ignore client-side mods.)Ĭopy all the rest to the server's mods/ folder you already know how that part works. For example, Optifine, MAtmos, minimap mods, and the like should never be installed on a server. Your server needs to have an exact copy of the mods your client has, except for any mods that are client-only. jar to match the old one, or tell a dashboard the name of the new one.) Restart your server now and make sure it comes up clean.Ĭongrats, you've modded the server! It now has the built-in ability to load and understand mods. (Depending on your host, you might need to rename the new. jar file that you now need to put wherever your server's normal, unmodded. Now run this, and from the window that pops up choose "server". You want the link called "Installer" that matches your version.




I'm taking away the block and showing my player air now. Server: OK! Oh wait, I have no idea what that is! I will make it air, OK?Ĭlient: Oh, OK! I will make it air too. What you're seeing, is your client and your server having this conversation:Ĭlient: There's my block! By the way, I am showing it to my player ahead of time to make the graphics run smoothly without block lag, so let me know when you've got the block placed too. Forge is the most important mod, since it is what allows a server to use other mods at all. You've placed the mods where a modded server could find them, but that's Server Modding Step #2 and you never did Server Modding Step #1: install Forge. The reason you can't place modded blocks is because your server isn't modded.
