Install custom Java mods | NodeFlux.eu Docs
Prepare a Forge, NeoForge, or Fabric server and install a compatible mod set.
Steps
- In the software library, choose a supported mod loader engine and exact Minecraft version for your project.
- Stop the service and download a manual backup of the world and existing configuration files.
- Download the matching server side mod JARs and all required dependencies from their official sources.
- Upload the JARs to the mods folder using the panel file manager or SFTP connection details.
- Start the service and use the console log to find missing dependencies, loader version mismatches, or client only mods.
- Give players the exact same Minecraft version, mod loader, and required client mod list before they join.
Notes
- Only use a mod loader if it is currently available in the NodeFlux software library.
- Client only mods do not belong on the server. Server only mods do not always need to be installed by players.
- Large modpacks can exceed the RAM or CPU available to a public plan; test with a small player group first.
Warning
Do not mix Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Paper plugin files in the same installation unless the software documentation explicitly supports that combination.
