How do I make a forge server multiplayer?

[Warpavp2]

I've never installed forge before soooo:

 

How do I install a forge server that my friends can connect to?

 

Basically I want a server with

Custom npc mod

World edit

World guard

 

And that's pretty much it.

 

Do we all need the client? What is the client?

 

I want to host the server on a basement computer and play from another.

This works for 1.6.4 & 1.7.2

1. Go to http://files.minecraftforge.net/

2. Download the 1.6.4 Recommended installer if your using 1.6.4. If your using 1.7.2, download the 1.7.2 recommended installer.

3. Once downloaded, open it by double clicking it (or right-click it and Open With -> Java).

4. Click install server and select your server folder

5. In the folder rename the Forge-__.__.___.jar to forge.jar

6. Make a new Text file and rename it start.bat (remove .txt)

7. In that file type:

 

java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar forge.jar nogui

(Adjust the 1024M part for how much memory you want to allocate to the server, 2GB of memory would be -Xmx2G -Xms2G)

 

8. Run the start.bat file

9. To connect in game use the ip of your computer (localhost if it is on the same computer you play Minecraft on.). You need to port forward for others to connect to the server.

 

For others to connect, they need to have the same version of Forge. They are required to have the same mods that are on the server, BUT they can have other mods that the server doesn't have, they just won't be able to use what is in the other mod they have.

Its a little different to how Spideynn has said.

 

If you want worldguard and worldedit they are bukkit plugins and custom npcs is a forge mod.

 

You will need MCPc+ which integrates spiggot (a form of bukkit) and forge. You can get MCPC+ from here:

http://ci.md-5.net/job/MCPC-Plus/.

 

The clients will run forge and the server will run MCPc+. Now heres the downside MCPC+ has not been updated since March 26 2014 and is running on forge 1033 so that is what your clients will need. Hopefully it will get updated but not seen or heard anything from bloodmc who maintains it so don't hold your breath....unless someone else picks up the reigns and carries on.

Ancient thread that pertains to old versions, also please don't rename your Forge jars.
