Posted May 22, 20178 yr Hello, Is there any way to allow clients to connect to a forge server without having forge installed? I do NOT ask if there is a way to install a client mod or even forge remotely. I simply wish to allow players without forge to connect to my server which only has server-side mods installed. No new items/content/etc which would require any client mod is present. However when trying to connection with vanilla Minecraft the client is disconnected with the message [18:42:14] [Netty Server IO #2/INFO] [FML]: Disconnecting Player: This server requires FML/Forge to be installed. Contact your server admin for more details. which leads me to believe that forge/vanilla are completely incompatible even if no mods are installed(maybe a different package format?). Thank you for your time.
May 22, 20178 yr If all server side mods say that they are server side only, or accept the mod missing on the client then Forge will allow it to connect. You have to talk to the mod authors. I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated. Consider supporting the team on Patreon
May 22, 20178 yr Author Thank you very much. The "problem" could be isolated to a single mod missing the remove version setting.
