Set Up a Multiplayer Server with Ported Mods

Server-Side Installation

ForgedFabric API Mod must be installed on your Forge server if you're running ported mods. Without it, clients with ported mods won't be able to connect, or the mods won't function correctly.

1. Download ForgedFabric API Mod

2. Place it in your server's mods folder (same location as other server mods)

3. Restart the server

4. Verify in the server log that ForgedFabric loads without errors

Client-Side Setup

Each player connecting to the server must also have ForgedFabric installed in their client mods folder, along with any ported mods they want to use.

Testing Connection

Launch the game and try connecting to your server. If players can join and ported mods work as expected, the setup is correct. If ported mods behave strangely or don't load, double-check that both server and all clients have ForgedFabric installed and are using compatible versions.
