I ended up figuring this out. Thank you for the reply though. Only needed to be installed client-side, I felt like such an idiot lol.

Ok, so I've downloaded a similar mod, and it turns out my deduction was correct. It seems to be that mod not working. If anyone has any ideas as to why, feel free, but I do not expect anything as this doesn't seem to be a forge related issue.

The more I'm trying to decipher the log the more I'm getting the feeling this is a mod related issue, not Forge. I'll try another mod and update.

I've also verified that this particular mod is compatible with Forge.

If there's any other logs or information I can post that'd be helpful let me know.

Firstly I'd like to state that I'm new to modding servers. I have created a LAN server that I intend to use Hamachi to allow a friend to connect to so we can play coop. I'm using the latest forge version as well as the latest version of Xaero's Minimap (https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding-java-edition/minecraft-mods/2379024-xaeros-minimap-forge-1-14-2-1-13-2-1-12-2-1-12-1). I've combed that post and don't see anything related to required files for installation other than the mod itself. I've properly set up the forge server by first opening the minecraftserver.jar, agreeing to the EULA and then opening the forge.jar. In this step, the server runs. Now, from my understanding the only thing I would have to do is copy the mod.jar to the mods folder located in my server folder. When I do this and start the server, it boots for about a half of a second and then closes. Below is a pastebin of the log taken from the server folder after the crash. https://pastebin.com/hWTsHZAp Any help would be appreciated.
