List of server mods?

[dtbradio 0]

This may not be the appropriate forum section for this question, but is there a posted list of server mods available for a Forge server running MC 1.9.4, along with good instructions on installing the client and server side parts of each mod (if they are different)? ? I've successfully set up a Forge server and now want to un-vanilla it, but so far I've not had any success with the ones I've tried to use. The server always crashes.

 

Also, I'm looking for add-ons or mods that will allow me to set up safe zones, add pre-made structures, etc. My research has pointed to several, but all of the ones Ive seen seem to require a Spigot or Bukkit server.

 

Any help appreciated.

This isn't even the right site.

Yes, it's called Curse.com

 

along with good instructions on installing the client and server side parts of each mod (if they are different)? ? I've successfully set up a Forge server and now want to un-vanilla it, but so far I've not had any success with the ones I've tried to use. The server always crashes.

 

1) Put mods in the mods folder

2) Forge black magic

3) Modded server

Most Forge mods are universal, which means the same mod runs on (and is required on) both the client and server. The exceptions are things like HUDs/minimaps (usually client-only) or admin tools like permission management/backup (usually server-only).

 

Single player still has a server running in the background, so most server-only mods will still work with it.

 

Refer to the mod's description/installation instructions to see which sides it runs on.

Thanks for the replies.

 

@Draco: When I searched for "official minecraft forge forum", this site is what I got. Thanks for the link to Curse.

 

@Choonster: Thanks for your input. I was assuming most were universal, but since every single one I tried crashed the server, I was beginning to assume I was wrong. Must be another issue I'm not aware of... The minimap and perms mods, surprisingly, I actually already understood were single side mods (client OR server).

The Modder Support section is for mod developers, but this thread would fit the General Discussion or Minecraft General sections (and I've requested it be moved to one of them).

 

If you want help with the crashes, post in the Support and Bug Reports section. Make sure you read the EAQ before posting.

Curse hosts mods, but is not the only repository (although be aware that there are some really scummy ones out there).  It also hosts the Minecraft forums which has a mods subfora which may have a wider selection.

 

The Minecraft Forge site (here) is more narrowly focused on mod development although not entirely (its more like "this is where some of the developers hang out and sometimes they want to talk about non-development related topics").
