I can't get mods to show up in my Minecraft Java server

[Luke0987]

I've been trying to set up a modded Minecraft Java server for a while now and I've hit a roadblock. I can successfully get the server running and when I run Minecraft with forge and click the mods button, everything like forge mod loader, etc. shows up except for the mod I'm trying to upload. I've tried tons of troubleshoots by this point and I am stumped, so any help would be appreciated.

Start with a pre-configured modpack and use it as working base

Most modpacks already have a server pack

It still didn't work. I followed the instruction for the server properties too and it doesn't even show on the homepage under the mods list.

After starting the server, add the latest.log from the server's logs folder

Add the log with

https://paste.ee/

The link didn't work But I can send you a OneDrive link.

It is a vanilla server, not a forge server

How do I change it to a forge server then?

Make sure you are starting the forge jar via script
