How to Install a Mod on a Minecraft Server

Step-by-Step Guide to Installing a Mod on a Minecraft Server

1. Download the Mod

   • Make sure to download the correct version of the Mod that matches your server's Minecraft version.
   • Important: The mod file should be a .jar file.

2. Ensure No Datapacks or Other Mods Conflict

   • Do not have both a datapack and a mod installed at the same time, as they may conflict.
   • Only install one or the other, depending on your server's setup.

3. Locate the Mods Folder

   • Open your server's root directory.
   • Inside this directory, find the folder named mods.
   • If the mods folder doesn't exist, create one.

4. Install the Mod

   • Paste the downloaded .jar file for the Mod into the mods folder.

5. Restart the Server

   • After adding the Mod to the mods folder, restart your Minecraft server for the mod to be activated.

6. Verify Mod Installation

   • Once the server has restarted, join the server and check if the Mod is working.
   • You can use /mods or a similar command (depending on the mod) to see if the Mod has been successfully loaded.

Additional Tips

• Backup Your Server: Always create a backup before installing the Mod to avoid data loss in case something goes wrong.
• Ensure Mod Compatibility: Check that the Mod is compatible with your Minecraft server version and any other mods you have installed.
