I'm trying to add this mod for my son:

https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/more-ores-in-one

Here are the steps I followed on an Ubuntu Linux box:

1. downloaded forge installer (forge-1.16.5-36.1.0-installer.jar)
2. mkdir .minecraft
3. cd .minecraft
4. ran:  java -jar forge-1.16.5-36.1.0-installer.jar --installServer        which appears successful:

  Output: /home/minecraftuser/.minecraft/libraries/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.16.5-36.1.0/forge-1.16.5-36.1.0-server.jar Checksum Validated: b21bf58b1437b481fcc250f13ca95263fca22f6f
The server installed successfully, you should now be able to run the file forge
You can delete this installer file now if you wish

5. The file it creates is named "forge-1.16.5-36.1.0.jar" so no "universal" in the name, not sure why or if that is relevant.
6. echo eula=true > eula.txt
7. ran the server with:   java -jar forge-1.16.5-36.1.0.jar  and it opens properly
8. quit the server and copy the mod file:    cp MoreOresInONE-1.2_1.16.5.jar ~/.minecraft/mods/
9. restart the server in nogui mode:   java -Xms2048M -Xmx4096M -jar forge-1.16.5-36.1.0.jar nogui

At this point, the server is running and my son can connect, but says the mod isn't working. How do I check why the mod isn't working or debug this? The only thing I see in the log related to this mod is this message:

I don't see any error messages or anything indicating it didn't work, so I'm at a loss.

Thanks!

Was the mod also installed on the client?

Yes, same version was installed on the client.

You'll have to excuse me I'm not a Minecraft expert, just trying to set something up for my son. But his wording was "I just checked if the block was in creative". I believe the mod is supposed to add new ones and he wasn't able to see them.

When he's home later I will spin up the mod'd server and have him connect to it and will post both debug.log.  On the client side, where would that log reside?

Thanks!
