i have added plug ins to my server using the control panel, i used forge, spigot, and fabric and when i get into the game they dont work.
do i need to activate them? or are plug ins not mods?

The plugin install is only for Plugins, not mods.

Plugins run on server loaders like Spigot, Paper, Pufferfish.
Mods run on server loaders like Forge, NeoForge, Fabric

#

so how do i get the mods that i want that i installed as plugins to work?

#

You cannot run both plugins and mods together. Pick one server type or the other. There are some experimental modloaders that will try, but you'll need to play around with testing what works and what doesn't.

#

is there a tutorial or someone who can walk me through putting mods onto my server?

topaz hornet Apr 17, 2025, 5:22 PM

#

Are you wanting to run an existing modpack, or just a few mods that you found?

scarlet arch Apr 17, 2025, 5:22 PM

#

my recommendation so you get the right help, don't call mods plugins, and don't call plugins mods.

#

and the opening lines shows you're all over the place

#

i want to run 2 mods on a server so me and all my friends can use it

scarlet arch Apr 17, 2025, 5:23 PM

#

as spigot is a plugin server

#

which 2 mods

glacial vine Apr 17, 2025, 5:23 PM

#

so what do plug ins do?

topaz hornet Apr 17, 2025, 5:24 PM

#

Plugins use existing code to add features. Anyone can join a plugin server without installing anything special.

Mods add new code to Minecraft to add much more. In most cases, players must install the same exact mods to join the server.

scarlet arch Apr 17, 2025, 5:25 PM

#

think of plugins as mods that players don't get, and they are typicall uglier than mods too.

#

it's like getting strawberry icecream and the only thing strawberry about it is the label on the box

glacial vine Apr 17, 2025, 5:25 PM

#

so how do i make it so me and my friends can use the same mods together on a server?

scarlet arch Apr 17, 2025, 5:25 PM

#

first make a mod pack

Making A Mod Pack - Kreezcraft

This is really easy to do. I remember when it was hard. Those days are long gone. You will need one of the following Mod Pack Launchers.

#

then follow this article

#

or

#

choose one of the many ready to go mod packs that BH Has in its db

#

install that same mod pack on your end and bam done.

glacial vine Apr 17, 2025, 5:26 PM

#

where do i find the mods on BH

scarlet arch Apr 17, 2025, 5:26 PM

#

no more stress.

#

mod packs

#

not mods

#

mod packs are packs of mods

glacial vine Apr 17, 2025, 5:27 PM

#

is that on the control panel or somewhere else?

scarlet arch Apr 17, 2025, 5:27 PM

#

curseforge.com is where most mods are found and mod packs

#

i can tell you are like "f is his article" as half your question is handled in it.

glacial vine Apr 17, 2025, 5:28 PM

#

so do i need to make a modpack of the mods i want and then upload it onto my server?

scarlet arch Apr 17, 2025, 5:28 PM

#

on the games panel for your server, in the home screen

#

choose your modloader type if you already know what you want
search for it if you don't know what you want, like tekkit for example

#

then scroll the results and click on install for the one you want

scarlet arch Apr 17, 2025, 5:30 PM

#

glacial vine so do i need to make a modpack of the mods i want and then upload it onto my ser...

yes

glacial vine Apr 17, 2025, 5:30 PM

#

so if i put forge, and then install mod from curseforges website, what do i do with it?

scarlet arch Apr 17, 2025, 5:30 PM

#

99% of all mods go on both sides

#

i'm going silent now, time to go to the store. Rooder has you.

glacial vine Apr 17, 2025, 5:30 PM

#

ok

At the top are instructions for installing the correct modloader. Then instructions in the article for installing individual mods.

#

ok thanks ill look through it

#

so i just have to have it on the server or do i have to launch minecraft with it installed on my pc?

#

glacial vine so i just have to have it on the server or do i have to launch minecraft with it...

mods are generally required on both sides

#

there's some mods that are only one side, but that depends on the mod

#

it's best to make sure and check what the mod does
