Hey guys I made an account to find help to this specific problem

 

I am starting a forge server using 1.6.4 for myself and some friends to play on.  I am currently building my modpack to use, so I am running test plays over and over again to be sure my mods work together appropriately, but I just downloaded the actual Forge server rather than the client and am coming to this following issue.

 

I am launching my server test world, and whenever I go to use any block from a mod it is placed and instantly disappears, on my NEI I can click on any mod item and I will receive the messege, "No item with id xxxx exists".

 

If I could receive some feedback onto what I am doing wrong that would be greatly appreciated.  All of my mods are opened through the use of 7-zip and are all zip files, to where as my  server and minecraftforge-universal are opened through java as executable java files.

 

Thank you again in advance for any help I can get on this.

Damn, is it really that simple?  Was hoping to just run 1.6.4 for a good throwback server with some friends.  Should I just go to 1.7.2 or is it best to update all the way to 1.7.10?

alright, thank you for the help/input will start making necessary changes.
