Requirements

The system requirements required to set up a modded Minecraft server may vary depending on the server software and Mod.

1. Computer Specs

Minimum and recommended computer specifications required to run a modded Minecraft server include:

• CPU: A high single-thread performance processor, preferably with a clock speed of 3.60 GHz or higher
• RAM: A minimum of 2 – 4 GB for smaller servers, but more RAM is required for larger player counts and heavily modded servers (8 GB or more)
• Storage: At least 10 – 20 GB of free space on an HDD or SSD for server files, mods, and world data
• Operating System: Windows, macOS, or Linux, with up-to-date system libraries and security patches
• Java: The latest version of Java installed on your system, as Minecraft and server software like Forge rely on Java

2. Internet Connection Speed

A higher upload speed allows the server to accommodate more players without experiencing network-related performance issues. The minimum internet connection speed required to host a modded server should be between 5 Mbps to 10 Mbps or higher.

To check your internet connection speed:

• Use online speed test websites like Speedtest.net and Fast.com
• Check your internet service provider (ISP) to view the details of your current plan, including the upload and download speeds you should be receiving.

To optimize your internet connection:

• Upgrade your internet plan
• Connect your computer to the router using an Ethernet cable instead of relying on Wi-Fi
• Restart your modem and router to clear any potential issues that may have developed over time
• If you’re using a hosting provider, choose a server location that is geographically close to you and the majority of your players

3. Minecraft Server Software

There are several Minecraft server software options available, but the only one built and recommended for a Modded Minecraft server is Forge.

• Forge: A server software designed specifically for modded Minecraft servers. It enables the use of mods that change gameplay, add new content, or enhance the game’s visuals. Pros: Extensive mod support, customizable gameplay experience. Cons: More complex setup process, the potential for mod incompatibilities.

4. Modpack

A modpack is a collection of mods (modifications) that work together to enhance and customize the Minecraft gaming experience. Modpacks can include new game modes, improved visuals, additional content, and various quality-of-life improvements. They are designed to provide a cohesive and seamless gameplay experience by bundling compatible mods with similar themes, features, or objectives. This simplifies the installation process and ensures that the mods work together without conflicts or incompatibilities.

Setting Up the Server

Installing Minecraft Server Software

1. Download Forge: Visit the official Forge website (https://files.minecraftforge.net/) and select the version of Minecraft you wish to use. It’s essential to choose a Forge version that is compatible with your desired Minecraft version and mods.
2. Install Forge: Once the download is complete, run the Forge installer. Select “Install server” and choose the folder where you want to install the Forge server files. The installer will download all necessary files and create a new folder within the chosen directory.
3. Create a server folder: It’s a good practice to create a dedicated folder for your Minecraft server to keep things organized. Move the installed Forge files to this new folder.
4. Accept the EULA: Locate the ‘eula.txt’ file in your server folder and open it with a text editor. Change the line ‘eula=false’ to ‘eula=true’ to accept the Minecraft End User License Agreement.
5. Configure server settings: Open the ‘server.properties’ file in your server folder with a text editor. Here, you can adjust settings such as server name, game mode, difficulty, and other preferences.
6. Launch the Forge server: Run the ‘forge-x.x.x.xxxxxx-universal.jar’ file (x represents the version numbers) to start your Forge server. This will generate additional files and folders, including the ‘mods’ folder.

Creating a New World

1. Set the world name: Open the ‘server.properties’ file in your server folder using a text editor (e.g., Notepad or Notepad++). Find the line ‘level-name=’ and change the default value (world) to your desired world name. For example, ‘level-name=MyMinecraftWorld’.
2. Choose a seed: To set a specific seed for your world generation, find the line ‘level-seed=’ in the ‘server.properties’ file. Add the desired seed value after the equals sign. Seeds can be numerical or text-based. For example, ‘level-seed=123456789’ or ‘level-seed=MyUniqueSeed’. If you leave this field empty, the server will generate a random seed.
3. Configure world border size: To set a world border, find the line ‘max-world-size=’ in the ‘server.properties’ file. Enter the desired size (in blocks) for your world border after the equals sign. The minimum value is 1,000 and the maximum is 30,000,000. For example, ‘max-world-size=10000’ would create a world border of 10,000 blocks in each direction from the world’s center.
4. Save and restart the server: After you have made the desired changes to the ‘server.properties’ file, save it and close the text editor. Restart your Minecraft server for the changes to take effect. If you are creating a new world for the first time, the server will generate the world using the specified settings. If you are replacing an existing world, make sure to delete the old world folder before restarting the server.

Configuring Server Properties

1. Access the server properties file: Open the ‘server.properties’ file located in your server folder using a text editor (e.g., Notepad or Notepad++).
2. Set the game mode: Locate the line ‘gamemode=’ in the server.properties file. Change the default value (0) to the desired game mode: 0 for Survival, 1 for Creative, 2 for Adventure, or 3 for Spectator. For example, ‘gamemode=0’ would set the server to Survival mode.
3. Configure the difficulty: Find the line ‘difficulty=’ in the server.properties file. Change the default value (1) to the desired difficulty level: 0 for Peaceful, 1 for Easy, 2 for Normal, or 3 for Hard. For example, ‘difficulty=3’ would set the server to Hard difficulty.
4. Set the player limit: Locate the line ‘max-players=’ in the server.properties file. Change the default value (20) to the desired maximum number of players allowed on the server. For example, ‘max-players=100’ would allow up to 100 players to join the server simultaneously.
5. Save and restart the server: After making the desired changes to the server.properties file, save it and close the text editor. Restart your Minecraft server for the changes to take effect.

Enabling Mods

There are two primary methods to install and enable mods on a Minecraft server: manual installation and using a modpack. The manual installation process involves adding individual mods to your server, while modpacks contain pre-selected collections of mods that can be installed as a package.

Configuring Modpack Options

1. Locate the configuration files: After installing a modpack on your server, navigate to the ‘config’ folder in your server folder. This folder contains configuration files for individual mods, as well as global modpack settings.
2. Adjust game difficulty: If the modpack has its own difficulty settings, you can usually find them in a configuration file within the ‘config’ folder. Open the file using a text editor, and adjust the difficulty setting according to your preference. Save the changes and restart the server for the new settings to take effect. If the modpack uses the default Minecraft difficulty settings, you can adjust the difficulty in the ‘server.properties’ file.
3. Configure resource allocation: Some modpacks may require more resources (RAM, CPU, and storage) than a vanilla Minecraft server. To allocate more resources to your server, edit the server startup script (usually a .bat or .sh file) to increase the amount of RAM allocated to the server. For example, if you are using a Forge server, you can adjust the -Xmx and -Xms values in the script to allocate more RAM.
4. Manage player permissions: To configure player permissions within a modpack, you can either use the modpack’s built-in permission management system (if available) or install a permission plugin like LuckPerms or PermissionsEX. Follow the modpack documentation or plugin instructions to set up and manage player permissions. This can involve creating permission groups, assigning permissions to groups or individual players, and setting up inheritance between groups.
5. Customize individual mods: Within the ‘config’ folder, you will find configuration files for each mod included in the modpack. Open these files with a text editor to adjust mod-specific settings, such as block IDs, item spawn rates, or world generation options. Always save the changes and restart the server for the new settings to take effect.

Choosing and Installing Mods

Installing Mods on The Server

There are several methods for installing mods on a Minecraft server, but the two most common methods are installing mods directly through the server software and using File Transfer Protocol (FTP).

1. Server software: This method involves adding the mod files directly to the server’s “mods” folder, which can be accessed through the server’s control panel or file manager. This is the simplest method, especially if you are running the server on your own computer.
2. FTP: If you are using a remote server hosted by a third-party provider, you may need to use an FTP client to transfer the mod files to the server. This method allows you to manage the server files remotely without having to access the server’s control panel or file manager.

A. Installing mods using server software:

1. Locate the “mods” folder: Navigate to the Minecraft server directory (the folder where your server software and files are stored). Inside the server directory, you will find a “mods” folder.
2. Download the mod: Download the desired mod from a reputable source, ensuring it is compatible with your server’s Minecraft version.
3. Add the mod file: Place the mod file (usually a .jar file) into the “mods” folder in your server directory.
4. Restart the server: After adding the mod file, restart your Minecraft server to load the mod. The mod should now be active on your server.

B. Installing mods through FTP:

1. Download an FTP client: To transfer files to your remote server, you will need an FTP client like FileZilla or Cyberduck.
2. Connect to your server: Open the FTP client and enter the required information to connect to your server, such as the server address, username, and password. This information should be provided by your hosting provider.
3. Locate the “mods” folder: Once connected to your server, navigate to the Minecraft server directory and find the “mods” folder.
4. Download the mod: Download the desired mod from a reputable source, ensuring it is compatible with your server’s Minecraft version.
5. Transfer the mod file: Drag and drop the mod file (usually a .jar file) from your computer into the “mods” folder on your server using the FTP client.
6. Restart the server: After transferring the mod file, restart your Minecraft server to load the mod. The mod should now be active on your server.

Troubleshooting Common Mod Installation Issues

1. Compatibility errors: These occur when a mod is not compatible with the Minecraft version your server is running or with other installed mods. Incompatible mods may cause crashes, glitches, or unexpected behavior.
2. Missing dependencies: Some mods require additional files or libraries, called dependencies, to function correctly. If these dependencies are not installed alongside the mod, it may not work or may cause errors.
3. Incorrect installation: Placing the mod file in the wrong folder or not installing it correctly can prevent the mod from working as intended.
4. Corrupted mod files: Downloading a mod from an unreliable source or experiencing a failed download can result in a corrupted mod file, which can cause issues when installed on the server.

Follow the steps below to troubleshoot the mod installation issues:

1. Check compatibility: Ensure the mod you are trying to install is compatible with your server’s Minecraft version and other installed mods. If it’s not, look for an updated version or an alternative mod that is compatible.
2. Install dependencies: Verify if the mod requires any additional dependencies and make sure they are installed correctly. The mod’s documentation or download page should provide information about required dependencies and installation instructions.
3. Reinstall the mod: If the mod is not working correctly, try removing it from the server, restarting the server, and then reinstalling the mod following the proper installation steps.
4. Verify installation location: Make sure the mod file is placed in the correct folder (usually the “mods” folder in your server directory).
5. Redownload the mod file: If you suspect a corrupted mod file, try redownloading the mod from a reputable source and reinstalling it on your server.

Configuring Mods

Understanding Mod Configurations

Mod configurations are settings and options within a mod that allow server administrators to customize various aspects of the mod’s functionality, such as altering specific gameplay elements, adding or removing features, and adjusting values or limits. Finding Mod Configuration Files

1. Locate your server’s root directory: This is the main folder where your server software, world data, and other essential files are stored.
2. Look for the “config” folder: In most cases, mod configuration files will be stored in this folder. Open it to access the various mod config files.
3. Search for the specific mod’s config file: Mod configuration files are usually named after the mod itself or a related identifier. For instance, if you have a mod called “ExampleMod,” its configuration file may be named “examplemod.cfg,” “examplemod.toml,” or something similar.
4. If you don’t find the mod configuration file in the “config” folder, check the “mods” folder: Some mods may store their configuration files directly in the “mods” folder. Open this folder and look for any folders or files related to the specific mod you’re searching for.

Editing Mod Configurations

1. Backup the original configuration files: Before making any changes, it’s important to make a backup of the original configuration files to ensure you can revert to the default settings if needed.
2. Locate the configuration file: As mentioned earlier, mod configuration files can be found in the “config” or “mods” folders within your server’s root directory. Find the specific mod’s configuration file that you want to edit.
3. Use a text editor: Open the configuration file using a text editor such as Notepad, Notepad++, Visual Studio Code, or Sublime Text. Ensure that the text editor you use supports the file format of the configuration file (e.g., JSON, YAML, or TOML).
4. Understand the configuration settings: Carefully read through the configuration settings to understand what each setting does. If you’re not sure about a specific setting, refer to the mod’s documentation or consult online forums for guidance.
5. Edit the settings: Make changes to the configuration settings according to your preferences, ensuring that you follow the correct syntax for the file format. Be cautious when making changes, as incorrect settings can cause the mod to malfunction or crash the server.
6. Save the changes: After editing the configuration settings, save the changes to the file. Make sure to save it in the same format as the original file (e.g., .cfg, .json, .yaml, or .toml).
7. Restart the server: To apply the changes to the mod configuration, you’ll need to restart your Minecraft server. Ensure that you safely stop the server before restarting it to prevent data loss or corruption.
