Creating a Minecraft Forge Server with Mods on a Mac
Today, we’re going to be creating a Minecraft Forge server with mods on a Mac. First, create a new folder to house your server. Name it whatever you want, but remember that this is where your Minecraft server will live.
Downloading Minecraft Forge
Open your browser and go to files.minecraftforge.net. Once the page loads, navigate to the version you want and click on the installer. After it downloads, locate the file and open it. Click “Install Server” and choose the directory of your server folder. Wait for the process to complete.
Renaming the Forge File
After the server is successfully downloaded, open your folder and rename the Forge file to “forgeserver”. This step is important for the next steps that will be coming up.
Installing Mods
Now, it’s time to install mods in the server. You can do this by installing the mods locally and then adding friends to connect to your server.
Things to Check if Your Server Does Not Work
If your server does not work, make sure you’re playing on the same version of Forge Minecraft as your server and each other. Check that the TextEdit document is formatted correctly. If your “start.command” keeps saying “[Process completed]”, try running the “server.jar” instead. Also, make sure you have Java installed.
Conclusion
Creating a Minecraft Forge server with mods on a Mac is an exciting way to play with friends and explore new features. By following these steps, you can set up your own server and enjoy a customized Minecraft experience.
