Install a Minecraft mod
In this guide, we will show you how to install mods on your Minecraft server. Mods are user-made modifications that let you customize your Minecraft gameplay experience. You can install multiple individual mods, as long as they are all compatible in versions and type.
How to add Mods to your Minecraft server
Find a mod to download
- Go to CurseForge or Modrinth and find a mod you would like to download.
- Once you downloaded the mod, make sure it is the file only and, not inside any folders.
Create a mods folder
- Click the New Directory button in the File Manager.
- Name this folder
mods.
Place your mods inside the mods folder
- Click the Upload button, this will open your File explorer.
- Then click the mod/mods you would like to add to the server.
Ensure your server runs the same version as your mods
- Go to the Settings tab and reinstall your server.
- If you are downloading Forge mods, make sure your server type is also Forge.
- Your server version must also match the mod version, so if you download a mod that runs on 1.8 make sure your server is also using that version.
Restart the server
- Scroll back to the top of the page.
- Then, click on the Restart button.
