Download the forge installer (or if you already have it downloaded, run it again)

Choose Install Server

Change the install directory at the bottom to where you want to install it (I'd make and choose a new folder)

Click OK

This will install the server in the specified folder.

 

From here, it can vary depending on your operating system, but essentially, you run the forge jar file from the folder you installed the server to. The first run will fail, it'll make you edit eula.txt and change false to true, but should run after that.

 

then, just drop mods into the mods folder and (re)start the server and they should load.

Inside your network, it will be the IP address of your computer, if it is on the same computer you play minecraft on, 127.0.0.1 will work.

 

Outside of your network, you will likely need to enable port forwarding for port 25565 on your router. Configuration can vary between types of routers, so consult your router mfrs website or instructions for information on how to forward ports.

Try another port or check what other program is using the default port.

Don't PM me with questions. They will be ignored! Make a thread on the appropriate board for support.

 

1.12 -> 1.13 primer by williewillus.

 

1.7.10 and older versions of Minecraft are no longer supported due to it's age! Update to the latest version for support.

Then once you get the server running, you will need to forward the port from your router to your computer. Check the website for whoever made the router for a support section, and search for port forward and you should find instructions on how to do it.

      Hello everyone i have made a server with forge and have added pixelmon into the server. But for some reason i keep getting "Internal Exception: io.netty.handles.codec.DecoderException: Not enough bytes in buffer, expected 105, byt got 48". I tried upping the ram of the server to 2GB but it didnt solve anything. I have 16 GB of ram on my pc (where i host the server), but i cant seem to get it to work. Pixelmon does work when i try to go into singleplayer, but for some reason just doesnt work online   Edit: server logs sais nothing aswell [18:55:49] [ServerMain/INFO]: Environment: Environment[accountsHost=https://api.mojang.com, sessionHost=https://sessionserver.mojang.com, servicesHost=https://api.minecraftservices.com, name=PROD] [18:55:50] [ServerMain/INFO]: Loaded 7 recipes [18:55:51] [ServerMain/INFO]: Loaded 1271 advancements [18:55:51] [Server thread/INFO]: Starting minecraft server version 1.20.2 [18:55:51] [Server thread/INFO]: Loading properties [18:55:51] [Server thread/INFO]: Default game type: SURVIVAL [18:55:51] [Server thread/INFO]: Generating keypair [18:55:51] [Server thread/INFO]: Starting Minecraft server on *:xxxx [18:55:51] [Server thread/INFO]: Using default channel type [18:55:51] [Server thread/INFO]: Preparing level "world" [18:55:52] [Server thread/INFO]: Preparing start region for dimension minecraft:overworld [18:55:53] [Worker-Main-8/INFO]: Preparing spawn area: 0% [18:55:53] [Worker-Main-8/INFO]: Preparing spawn area: 0% [18:55:53] [Worker-Main-8/INFO]: Preparing spawn area: 0% [18:55:53] [Worker-Main-12/INFO]: Preparing spawn area: 0% [18:55:54] [Worker-Main-11/INFO]: Preparing spawn area: 31% [18:55:54] [Server thread/INFO]: Time elapsed: 2344 ms [18:55:54] [Server thread/INFO]: Done (2.865s)!

      (1.19.4) double Fluid in BlockEntity not working correctly

      By ElTotisPro50 · Posted

      Hi, im making a BlockEntity that can contain fluids, and render them in the GUI, only one fluid works perfectly, I can fill or drain it, sync it to the client, and render it. The problem comes when i try to have two fluids in the same GUI, depending on what I delete or leave, the fluids act differently; for example, deleting both of them from "saveAdditional" and "load" methods makes that the fluids cannot render. Also, it can only render one fluid alone, or again, render one fluid, but twice (copies one fluid to the other one). FYI the left one is water, the right one is a red custom fluid. How can I fix this? BoilerBlockEntity: https://pastebin.com/e6b2U3sD BoilerMenu: https://pastebin.com/D375yCNr BoilerScreen: https://pastebin.com/WMrK83Du
