How to Install Mods on Your Minecraft Server

Hi and thanks for choosing purple host in today’s video i’m going to show you how to install mods to your minecraft server this will go through how to install onto your server and onto your own client for this video we will be using forge so if you have not installed

This already go ahead and do so if you’re not sure how to do this already we do have a video on this and i’ll link it in the description so installing mods is actually really really easy now if you have installed forward already then you should have installed it to your

Server and to your own client so this makes it super super easy for us now to find mods is really really easy there’s sites like curseforge.com which has tons and tons of mods for you to try out pretty much all mods run through curseforge so you can pretty much

Download them and pretty much any mod from curseforge so first i’m going to show you some server side ones and then i’ll show you some client-side ones server-side mods means it affects you and the server but client-side monster means only affects you so first we’ll just install the twilight

Forest mod this is a pretty well known mod you’re just going to go ahead and click on it you can do this with any mod and if you click on files as you can see our forge is 1.12.2 so we’re going to go here and we want to find one for 1.12.2

It actually just happens that the main file is actually 1.12.2 so it makes it really easy we’re going to hood and click download i see the download is now starting and there we go however if you aren’t on 1.12.2 uh you can just click you can scroll down to recent files you can

Click view all And then if you click all versions you can select the version of minecraft that you want so it goes away from 1.16 to minecraft 1.0 somehow if it does ask you to keep this just click keep and for a second mod we’re going to get inventory pets this is another server side mod

Once again we go to files as you can see the main file is not 1.12.2 so we want to scroll down to recent files and we can actually find it really easily 1.12.2 right here we’re going to click download and once again we’re going to go ahead and click keep

All right so we’ve now downloaded two server sided mods now what server side in mods means is that they need to be installed on the server and also on your own client so if we go to the server go to file manager click on the mods folder

And as you can see the mods folder is empty so we’re going to go ahead and click upload file and as you can see our two mods are right here we’re going to select them and click open as you see it’s now uploading two files all right so the mods are now installed

In the server we now need to go ahead and install them in our own client so once again you will need forward for this so if we click the start menu we can type in percent app data sent and it should say file folder we’re

Just going to go ahead and click on that but as you see we’ll open up this you want to click on dot minecraft and then find the mods folder as you can see the one i already added before uh so we’re just going to remove this one

All right so now we’re just going to make it a bit smaller and we’re going to go to chrome and we’re just going to drag these over the icon and drag them into the folder and there we go we now have these two mods installed so now if i restart the server

Alright so server is now online and i’m going to go ahead and open minecraft all right so minecraft has now loaded then we’re going to go to multiplayer and we can now join our server all right so we’re now on the server and if we press e to go to our inventory we

Can see that we have both of these mods now installed we have the twilight forest and also the inventory pets mod so that’s how to install server sided mods now i’m going to show you client-side mods all right so we’re now going to go ahead and download some client-sided mods

For the first one pretty much every single mod pack has this just enough items you’ll recognize this as soon as you see it when you go to inventory on the right it will be a huge list of items with many many pages from all the items from

Mods and vanilla minecraft so as you see we are now downloading this and there we go has now installed and there’s our second mod we’re going to get zero is ready map so we can go ahead and click on this go to files and then find our 1.12.2 file which is right here

So once again when i click the start menu we’re going to put percent app data sent now if you open the folder go to dot minecraft scroll down to the mods folder we can once again just drag them hover over this and drag them into the file explorer

For these mods you will not need to install them into the server just put them into your own directory and then you’re good so now you can go ahead and open minecraft once again so that minecraft has loaded once again we’re going to go to multiplayer we’re going to refresh because sometimes

It does that and we’re going to join the server and as you can see we have a map in the top left there you go the map is now loaded in and all these yellow dots on the map are actually entities so for example there’s one right here and this is a bunny

So now if we press e you can see just enough items is right here and you can see the inventory with all the different modded items so this is all toilet forest stuff and there’s some stuff done here which is inventory pet stuff so it really is that easy to install
