Hello everyone, I'm trying to setup a 1.12.2 minecraft server with Forge. Every client sided mod works on the server, however any other mods don't, and I think it's because I don't have a mods folder in the server files. I've tried creating a folder, putting mods in them, and I've tried just simply putting mods into the server files. Can anyone please help? Thank you.
