Ok so, after 5 days of trying to get a proper forge server to work im just gonna end up wasting my life savings on realm, its impossible to add a single mod, it takes a literal half an hour to start a server with 4 mods and when it DOES work, wich is rare, it just lags insanely, thanks everyone for the help anyway

Wait, holy crap im so happy the backpack mod worked the 2nd time i added it, im gonna start trying other mods

Also, sometimes when launching the forge server, instead of showing that its not vanilla, it shows a red X in the internet connection thing, says "OLD" and says its vanilla, strangely

I add all the ones shown in the image, and if i try 1 by one, it will still crash

Also, the only way at the moment for that jar file server to work is to remove all the mods in the mod folder, it wont crash and it doesnt say its vanilla, but the moment i add mods it just breaks

The only mods that work are optifine and shaders (wich work because they're normally in my .minecraft mods folder) thats what i did like 3 days ago, except the jar file thingy, but when i run that, simply nothing appears, and i get 2 errors: 1. while joining server, doesnt load world, this appears - io.netty.channel.abstractchannel$annotatedconnectexception 2. i join server for like 2 seconds, see empty world, cant see hands, suddenly the minecraft loading background of the dirt appears and says "DISCONNECTED"

yes, everyone has the same mods, but i tried joining it myself, and also, i got it to work on NON vanilla, but now i get "io.netty.channel.abstractchannel$annotatedconnectexception" OR i simply get a disconnect with no information when trying to join it.

So i was playing with my friends and we decided to do the forge server setup, we installed mods in both directories (.minecraft mods and server mods) and started playing, everything seemed fine, but then we thought "why not add a crafting related mod" so we dowloaded the furniture mod and restarted minecraft, but we cant make furniture with the right blueprints? we tried everything, and then i decided to go creative and try to spawn one, it appeared instantly, then dissapeared in a milisecond, it was still on my inventory but i could never spawn stuff, nor galacticraft rockets, not furniture, not equip a backpack from a backpack mod, i tried everything, and im really desesperate, any help please? (PS: english aint my main language) EDIT 1: here are some screenshots of the folders, cuz maybe i have an incompatible mod or something: https://gyazo.com/a3290eabca3a81a9ea68f12845c941b0 https://gyazo.com/59b95abead664193ee9039a909e562a6 https://gyazo.com/3d2cfae506c486e86ca1e7f40348b9f2 https://gyazo.com/44e04f79268fd9bfa747bf04a740ebfa (on .minecraft i have optifine installed, but not on the server, just saying) EDIT 2: Im also using 1.12.2 EDIT 3: After looking some information up, i have found why this happens, but i have no clue how to fix it, apparently my server is vanilla, i saw 1 person that simply deleted everything from the server's folder and reinstalled it and it worked, but for me, it doesnt work, any help on how to remove vanilla? i need an urgent reply, please.
