How to Install Forge on Your Minecraft Server

Installing Forge on your Minecraft server can be a bit of a process, but it's well worth the effort if you're looking to add some unique features to your gameplay experience. In this article, we'll walk you through the steps needed to install Forge on your server and get started with using mods.

First things first, you'll need to head to your Multicraft panel and click on 'Show Advanced Settings.' This will expand the settings menu and give you access to more options. Scroll down to the 'Look For Jars In' section and select 'Server Base Directory' from the dropdown menu. Click 'Save' to save your changes.

Next, you'll need to transfer your server files over via FTP. If you're not sure how to do this, don't worry - we have a separate article that can walk you through the process. Once you've transferred your files, navigate to the folder where they were saved and look for the 'run' bat file. This file is typically titled 'run' and it will run a Forge server on your local machine.

Before you start installing Forge, make sure you have the correct version of Minecraft installed. You can check which version you're running by looking at the title of your Minecraft window. If you're running an older version, you may need to update before you can install Forge.

To install Forge, head to the official Forge website and download the latest version of the mod API. Make sure you choose the correct version for your version of Minecraft - if you're not sure which version you need, you can check the Forge documentation or reach out to our support team.

Once you've downloaded the installer, navigate to the folder where it was saved and run it. Follow the prompts to install Forge on your server, making sure to choose the correct mods for the correct version of Minecraft.

Installing Forge will allow you to add a wide range of mods to your game, from new game mechanics and blocks to entirely new gameplay experiences. To get started with using mods, simply upload them to your /mods directory and they'll be ready to use.

For better compatibility with Multicraft, we recommend renaming the Forge server jar file to 'custom_server.jar' before uploading it to your server. This will help ensure that everything runs smoothly and you can avoid any issues with mod compatibility.

Once you've installed Forge and uploaded your mods, you can start playing on your server and enjoying all the new features and gameplay experiences that come with it.

Installing Forge Mods

Once you've installed Forge on your server, you can start adding mods to give your game even more depth and variety. Most mods can be dropped directly into the /mods directory and will work right away, but some may require additional installation and configuration.

To install a mod, simply upload it to your /mods directory and restart your server. The mod should then be available for use in your game. If you're not sure how to install a particular mod, check out our documentation or reach out to the mod's author for more information.

Connecting to a Forge Server

To connect to a Forge server running mods, you'll need a Forge client with the same mods installed. You can download the latest version of Forge from the official website and follow the installation instructions to get started.

Once you have the Forge client installed, simply launch it and click on 'Multiplayer' - you should see your Forge server listed under 'Servers.' Click on the server name to join and start playing with your friends.

Installing Forge on your Minecraft server is a great way to add some unique features and gameplay experiences to your game. With these instructions, you should be able to get started with installing Forge and using mods to enhance your gameplay experience.
