How to use a Forge server in NexusCloud¶

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

• Make sure your service uses an egg that supports Forge or a modded Java server.

Installation steps¶

1. Search Google for forge download and the Minecraft version you want, for example forge download 1.19.2.
2. Note the compatible Forge version, for example 1.19.2-43.5.2.
3. Open the NexusCloud panel and select your server.
4. Open Startup.
5. Set Minecraft Version and Forge Version to the selected versions. Example:
   • Minecraft Version: 1.19.2
   • Forge Version: 1.19.2-43.5.2
6. Change the Docker Image to the required Java version. For Minecraft 1.19, use Java 17 or 18 Temurin. See the Java version guide.
7. Open Settings, then click Reinstall Server.
8. Wait 10-30 seconds, then refresh the panel page.
9. Start the server through Console.

Official sources¶

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

• Forge Documentation
• Forge 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.

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.
• Make sure the Java version matches the Minecraft and Forge versions.
• Do not stop the server while reinstalling.
