How to set up Forge and mods on a Java server

This guide covers setting up a Forge server or a similar modded Java server in the NexusCloud panel.

Preparation

  • Make sure your service uses an egg that supports Forge or a modded Java server.
  • Decide on the Minecraft version you want to run.
  • Back up the server if you are switching software from an existing installation.

General steps

  1. Open https://panel.nexuscloud.id/.
  2. Select your server.
  3. Go to Startup.
  4. Set Minecraft Version to the version you want.
  5. Set Forge Version if the egg provides that variable.
  6. Reinstall the server if the egg's workflow requires it.
  7. Start the server.

Official sources

For Forge references, use the official Forge project documentation and files:

Once the server is ready

  1. Go to Files.
  2. Open the mods folder.
  3. Upload your mod .jar files.
  4. Restart the server.

Important notes

  • Do not delete your old world unless there is a clear compatibility issue.
  • The Forge version must match the version of the mods you are using.
  • The Java version you need depends on the Minecraft version and the loader you use.
