Hi, I recently started using Forge and I will say I am new to the whole thing so I may not know a whole lot. I downloaded the Forge 1.6.2 Installer and it worked completely fine on my PC and i downloaded the client and everything. So i downloaded my first mod (Zan's Mini map) and went to my online server and tried using it and it worked perfectly. Then i tried installing the Small Boats Forge mod and i put it in the mod folder and tried using it. I crafted the recipe and I saw the item show up in the crafted box to the right. I tried dragging it into my inventory but every time I tried it would just replace itself back into the crafted box and wouldn't let me put it in my inventory. I couldn't even use it. So I went to single player to try it and it works fine! But every time I try using it on my server it won't work. The mini-map works but the Small Boats mod doesn't? I tried searching for an answer and all i could find were people telling me to create a modded server. So i opened the Forge installer on my mac and clicked "Install Server" and I did everything it told me to and I tried again and nothing! It didn't work. Everything else i find on the subject is just people using Java Script. I don't know anything about that, like I said I'm kind of a Newb when it comes to this. PLEASE HELP!

You need to install the small boats mod on your server. The minimap works because it is client only mod, which means it works on your minecraft and no-one else can see it or has to use it to go on your server. But the Small Boats mod is server and client so you have to install forge on your server and install Small Boats Mod.

Thanks! I know this may sound like a stupid question, (I'm kind of a newb) but how do you install and setup Minecraft Forge server 1.6.2 on mac? make it a modded server so i can use my mods online with my friends? i can't find any videos or anything about setting it up on MAC! I know it's easy and I've attempted it before but I can't seem to do it right all the time... PLEASE HELP!

Use the installer- install SERVER.

I tried that and then I installed it into a separate folder. In that folder I opened the minecraft forge universal files and it created all these files while starting a server. After everything was installed I stopped the server and put my mods into the mods folder. Then I opened up terminal and typed in: java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui and tried to use the mods in the server and the same thing happened... nothing worked. PLEASE HELP
