How Do I Install Minecraft Mods?

Prerequisites

• A Minecraft game server on NoobHost
• Your server must be running a mod-compatible JAR (Forge, Fabric, Paper, etc.)

Step 1: Choose Your Mod Loader

From the control panel Startup tab, select your mod loader:

• Forge - Most popular for mod packs
• Fabric - Lightweight, performance-focused
• Paper/Spigot - Plugin-based (uses .jar plugins, not mods)

Step 2: Find Mods

Download mods from trusted sources:

• CurseForge
• Modrinth
• SpigotMC (for plugins)

Step 3: Upload Mods

1. Open the File Manager in your control panel
2. Navigate to the /mods folder (or /plugins for Paper/Spigot)
3. Upload your mod .jar files
4. Restart your server

Step 4: Verify

After restart, check the console for any errors. If a mod fails to load, check:

• Version compatibility with your Minecraft version
• Dependencies - some mods require other mods to work
• Mod loader compatibility - Forge mods don't work with Fabric and vice versa

Modpack Installation

For complete modpacks, use the Server JAR selector in the Startup tab to install pre-configured modpacks directly.
