In this support article we will be running through the processes to properly configure a Minecraft Forge server. This includes things such as setting the correct Minecraft version and Forge version. For this example we will be installing RLCraft, a modpack available on CurseForge.
-
Ensure your server is running as a Forge server and not a Vanilla server.
- If you are running a Vanilla server you won’t see the same options as shown below and will need to open a ticket with support to change your server over to Forge.
-
Ensure your server is stopped.
- You can do this by going to the "Console" tab and pressing the "Stop" button.
-
Go to the “Startup” tab and enter the Minecraft version and Forge version you wish to use.
- RLCraft requires Forge =>
14.23.5.2860and Minecraft1.12.2.
- RLCraft requires Forge =>
-
We’ll type these into the Minecraft Version box as
1.12.2and the Forge Version box as1.12.2-14.23.5.2860
Note
RLCraft requires Java 8 be installed to run. You can change the version of Java a server is using by setting the Docker Image dropdown to the required version.
- Next go to the "Settings" tab and press the "Reinstall Server" button
- This will trigger our systems to reinstall your server jar as the correct Forge version.
Warning
Some files may be deleted or modified during this process. Ensure you have a backup of any files you wish to keep.
- Return to the "Console" tab and start the server.
Note
The Forge Version box requires that the Minecraft version be prefixed. In this case it will be entered as
1.12.2-14.23.5.2860
