Hello and welcome to this tutorial, which will teach you how to install plugins and mods on your server.
Before we begin, I assume you already know how to use an SFTP client like WinSCP or FileZilla. If not, please follow this tutorial: https://forum.minestrator.com/threads/minestrator-manage-your-server-with-winscp-or-filezilla.1814/
Additionally, your server must be running Forge, Fabric, or an alternative to support mods. The best way to ensure this is by checking if a mods folder is automatically created when your server starts for the first time.
Step 1 - Downloading Mods
The first step is to download the mods of your choice. There is only one primary source:
From the CurseForge website: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods
Note: Some mods come compressed in a .zip archive. In such cases, extract the archive’s contents to retrieve the .jar files inside. A mod is typically a .jar file, except in very rare cases.
For example, if my server is running Forge 1.12.2, and I want to install Iron Chests, I will search for it on CurseForge: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/iron-chests/. In the Files tab, I ensure that I select the version compatible with my server version. Since my server is on 1.12.2, I download the file ironchest-1.12.2-7.0.72.847.jar.
Always verify that the mod version matches your server’s Minecraft version. Also, check if the mod requires another mod to function properly.
Step 2 - Uploading Mods to Your Server
Once you have downloaded your mods, connect to your server via SFTP. You should see a mods folder. If it does not exist, your server may not be correctly set up to support mods, or you might not have started it at least once (refer to the prerequisites mentioned earlier in this tutorial).
If the mods folder is present, simply place your mods into this folder by dragging and dropping or using copy/paste (e.g., in WinSCP).
Once your mods are uploaded to the server, restart the server and verify that they load correctly.
To check if your mods are loaded, the best way is:
Look for new items added by the mods in the game.
Check the server log to ensure the mods are listed during startup. A confirmation message like this should appear:
[Server thread/INFO] [FML]: Attempting connection with missing mods [minecraft, mcp, FML, forge, ironchest] at SERVER
This concludes the tutorial. If you need assistance with installing mods, feel free to join the MineStrator Discord.
Happy gaming!
