1.12.2 Forge server mods not working

[20201453]

The server loads perfectly fine, but the mod's don't work. They are in the folder but don't load in or interact at all with the server. I've tried using a server pack, but same result.

 

The latest.log

As you can see, it loads as normal. but no mods were loaded.

You are starting a vanilla server - not a forge server

How can I fix this? This makes perfect sense! What do I do, though? I have the mods folder and a forge version in the same folder as the minecraft-server 1.12.2.jar.

Is there a forge server/ forge universal jar file?
