Help! Information need for running modded 1.18.1 Forge Server Mods

[xoclipse]

Hello! 

I am fairly new to a lot of networking server stuff as well as minecraft, I was hoping someone would be able to help me.

Ive successfully used the terminal on Mac OS X to start a server, and have had people connect to my server.

I am trying to get a mod to run on my server, and have placed the mod in the server directory(created new file called mods) as well as on the client side inside of application support.

The mod I am trying to run is the Mr. Crayfish Gun mod.

If I open a single player game, I am able to see the weapons, and they have ammo inside of them, and im able to fire them and it seems normal.

 

Once I join my server, I am able to see the weapons, but they have no ammo.  I read about his mod pack and how your supposed to be able to craft the weapons with a work bench, I am able to put the workbench in my tool bar but when I try to place it in the game, it disappears instantly.

If I try to /give ***** bullet it says that there is "no such item"

 

Im guessing that my server is not running on forge, and im able to connect to it via my client and viewing the mods on my thing, but they are not interacting inside the server.

 

Hoping someone would be able to give me some information about getting this going. Ive tried to run the forge server installer but im not sure where I need those files to end up.

 

Thanks in advance, any links or info would be greatly appreciated.

Also to the mods: thanks ahead of time, read the constantly asked questions pinned post but couldn't figure it out.

If im going to create a new forge server, will this entirely replace my older server than I had going thru ngrok?

digging through the libraries folder generated, guessing I need to start somewhere in here?

Libraries/net/mincraftforge/forge/1.18.1?

I start it with the terminal in OS X, and use ngrok to host it.  I followed this guys steps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNVa3yFIW6o

I use a command file to start the terminal and server, than I open another terminal window to connect the ngrok

 

I tried yesterday using aternos which looks like a pretty decent free option for hosting. Hadn't done that before. The ram allotment seemed low though, and it was nice to have my server running on my computer.
