Setting up a 1.7.10 Forge Server using Hamachi with a lot of mods.

[Professional Derp]

Hello!

 

I have this single player modded world that i have been playing with my friend on LAN. We want to keep on playing when we are not in the same place and so I thought of making a forge server. I am hosting the server on Hamachi since I do not have access to the router. I am using 1.7.10 because some of the mods I have are not updated (Also 1.7.10 is better than any current release fight me). So far I have installed the server (the client was already installed), copied the mods folder from the actual minecraft folder and  also moved over my save and renamed it world. I also changed the EULA. When I run my server using the jar file, the command window pops up, and after printing a bunch of information statements it just quits. Here is the fml-server-latest log: https://pastebin.com/sMs4frtx. I know for a fact that these mods and versions do not have compatibility issues since I copied the mods folder from my singleplayer minecraft and they worked just fine. This is my first time setting up a forge server so I have no idea what I am doing so I would appreciate your help. The list of the mods I have can be found here: https://pastebin.com/uXC5xBim.

 

I also had another kind of unrelated question. To play on my forge server, when I open Minecraft Launcher, do I need to start forge from the of the regular Minecraft with the same version as the server?

 

PS: I realize I can still play over LAN using Hamachi but I would still like to learn how to set up the actual server.

Well from line 2668 of the log I can see " UCHE    DamageIndicatorsMod{3.3.2} [Damage Indicators] (Damage-Indicators-Mod-1.7.10.jar)" and at 2710 there's "

[01:18:33] [Server thread/ERROR] [FML/]: Caught exception from DamageIndicatorsMod".

 

This is probably due to the fact that you're attempting to run a client mod on a server.

What do you mean a client mod? Are the singleplayer mods different than the multiplayer ones?

1.7.10 are no longer supported on this forum.

Update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.

Mods can be client or server side specific.

Most mods are smart enough to not load on sides other than the intended side; however, there are poorly made mods that will load without checking the side, resulting in a crash.

In your case, remove DamageIndicatorsMod from the server.
