Help with Forge on Mac in general?

[lolboi8]

Hi guys. So, my friend and I started a mine craft server today. We both have macs. We also decided to add two mods: More Swords and More Wolves. So, I found out that more swords and a lot of other mods use Forge, a program that I had never heard of because I had taken a break from the game. So, I tried to find a good tutorial on setting up forge on a server on a Mac, but couldn't find one. I saw some weird stuff like it has to be on single player as well, it downloads stuff, and so forth. Can someone please either give me a complete tutorial to mac forge, how to set up a server with it, installing mods and all that stuff, in a way that someone new to forge would understand, or point me to a good one. It seems like a really cool program and I really want to know how it works.

 

Thanks,

Troy

It's the same as on any other OS:

Thanks, this helps a lot. I have a question. Do both of us on the server need to have forge installed on our single player minecraft in order for us both to use it on the server? Including the mod we want to install, do we need that to be installed on our single player as well?

Exactly. Forge needs to be on the server & client and all mods need to be on both sides as well.

Awesome! I'll ask if I have any problems.
