How to install mods on a server¶

This guide applies to Java servers using Forge, NeoForge, or Fabric.

Before you start¶

• Make sure the server is actually using the right mod loader.
• Make sure the mod version matches the Minecraft version and the loader.
• Back up the server before adding new mods.

Recommended download sources¶

• CurseForge
• Modrinth

Install via the panel¶

1. Open https://panel.nexuscloud.id/.
2. Go to Files.
3. Open the mods folder.
4. Upload the mod .jar file.
5. If the mod needs a dependency, upload that as well.
6. Restart the server.

For large files¶

If uploading through the panel feels unstable, use SFTP to upload mods to the mods folder.

Important notes¶

• Client-side mods will not work automatically on a server if the mod requires a client install.
• Some mods also create config files in the config or world/serverconfig folders.
• If the server fails to start after adding a mod, it is usually a version or dependency issue.

Troubleshooting¶

Server fails to start¶

• check the error in the console
• check whether a dependency is missing
• check the mod version compatibility

Mod does not work¶

• check the mod's documentation
• check whether the mod is client-only
• check whether extra configuration is required
