How to install forge on 1.8 dedicated server?

[Szynsz]

Hello,

Sorry if i write in wrong category, and please move if you want. I want to install forge on my minecraft dedicated server (i run version 1.8 on G-Portal). On internet there are many tutorials, but they show how to install forge on local server, not dedicate. If you can tell me how i can do that.

You install it locally and upload all files to the remote server.

Or if you are using a mc hosting provider that doesnt allow uploading, ask them.

[Szynsz]

I can upload files, but what IP server adress i must input in server.properties

[LexManos]

That is up to your host.

OK last thing, forge server start from file forge-1.8-11.14.1.1404-universal.jar but i think that on hosting server will start automatically from minecraft_server.jar. How to force server to start from forge-1.8-11.14.1.1404-universal.jar on dedicated?

Dear customer,

 

 

 

just replace your Forge server file with your current server file (eg. minecraft_server.jar) and that's pretty much it. :-)

Dear customer,

 

 

 

first you have to run the installer file. After you did that, then just run the regular forge file. :-)

Then what? I must start server with minecraft_server.jar and then replace file minecraft_server.jar with forge-1.8-11.14.1.1404-universal.jar (after rename them to minecraft_server.jar)? Because i dont understand

[Szynsz]

Ok then for sure, after upload local installed server to ftp i must delete minecraft_server.jar and rename forge-1.8-11.14.1.1404-universal.jar to minecraft_server.jar yea? Or i must upload forge-1.8-11.14.1.1404-installer.jar with name minecraft_server.jar?
