Hiya, I just bought a server and it is a modded Forge server, I followed the instructions on how to add the server to be able to play on it but when I do it says can not connect . I tried connecting with just the IP address but it doesn’t work. I’m not sure if I have to download the mods as well or where to even get them from the one I selected on the website. I don’t know what I’m doing . If there is anyone that can give me a step by step on how to get the server running on my end that would be amazing

You need to be running the exact same version of the mod pack on your PC as the server has, yes
You can't connect otherwise :)

Okay how do I get the same mod pack that the server has and the forge version they have ?

Easiest is to install a mod loader program, like Modrinth or CurseForge or something
