Help with making a server

[CovertOps]

Once I've made a server package how would I make a server for my modpack? Would I need to portforward and such? Please go into detail, thanks

[AetherPirate]

If you are running it on a computer at home, then yes, you need to portforward TCP or both TCP/UDP to whatever the internal LAN IP of your server, at whatever port you chose (25565 is the default). If your server computer has a firewall, add exceptions for that port too in your computer's firewall software.

Done all required things, but now the server shows as a Vanilla server.

[AetherPirate]

did you rename the forge universal in your server's  clientpack /bin folder to modpack.jar? (If Windows is hiding file extensions, either unhide them or just name it modpack)

Oh the forge loader is supposed to be in the bin file for the server pack too?

 

[AetherPirate]

yes, put the forge universal in there, renamed as I noted 

 

Actually, that's just for client packs. Server packs should have the forge universal at the root, and have a start.bat that calls it with arguments to set memory.

[AetherPirate]

try  java -Xmx2024M -Xms2024M -jar modpack.jar

this will give 2GB to your server. 

[CovertOps]

Got this error in CMD

Didn't have enough ram for 2G, 1.5G works.
