Help installing mods/plugins

[graysun]

Hello, I know this is probably a huge noob question but I've looked for hours on the internet on how to install Grief Prevention (or any mod for that matter) onto my tekkit server.

A little info. I have the server on a dedicated box, where I can only SSH into the box. I am using Debian on the server and I already have the Tekkit Minecraft server up and running. Now I've seen a lot of different ways people are installing mods and none of them work. It's driving me insane seeing how something so simple isn't working for me.

I have made sure I have the correct GriefPrevention version (5.5.1) since I know Tekkit is a few version behind MC. I have place the .jar in the mods folder, I have created a plugin folder and thrown it in there, I have extracted the .jar file into the Tekkit.jar and Minecraft_Server.jar files and restarted the server every time I made a change with the mod not working at all.

Can someone please explain or direct me to a page that has a very clear explanation on how to install this mod because nothing I seems to do works. I also want to stress that it's server side that I'm trying to install the mods. A lot of guides are showing client side not server side.

Graysun, is this Tekkit 1.0.6 (New Frontiers) or Tekkit Classic? In Tekkit 1.0.6, there is no plugins folder when you first start the server because Craftbukkit is not built in anymore.

To get Craftbukkit in the new Tekkit, you need to install BukkitForge or MCPC. Just look them up. BukkitForge is a mod that goes in the coremods folder. It basically creates a Craftbukkit-like environment for plugins to run alongside Minecraft Forge which is the backbone of Tekkit. MCPC is a hybrid of Craftbukkit and Minecraft Forge, and you need to replace the Tekkit.jar with the MCPC jar file.

BukkitForge is a bit buggy at the moment so I would recommend you go get MCPC+ for Minecraft 1.5.1. Here's a link to download MCPC for 1.5.1.

I've been looking for a way to get my server to work with Bukkit bug-free as well. I Hope this helps and good luck with your server.
