Setting Up a Simple Vanilla Minecraft Server

Factor in that each world resides on each separate computer and suddenly it becomes a real hassle for more than one person to work on a given map. If there are two parents and two kids playing Minecraft in a household for example, and they spend a few hours one weekend working on a big structure hosted by Kid #2, then anytime anyone wants to work on that world/structure again they need Kid #2 to fire up their game and share it with everyone else by opening it to the LAN.

One of the most frustrating elements of the Minecraft local multiplayer experience (both for the PC and the PE edition) is that the original game host has to be active to access previous creations. Today we’re looking at how to run a simple local Minecraft server both with and without mods. While it’s easy enough to share a Minecraft map with other local players on your network, it’s nice to be able to run a dedicated server so people can come and go without the original game host loading up Minecraft. Once you install the Forge/Fabric client, open up Minecraft and you will have a new Forge/Fabric version you have installed.Install the Forge/Fabric client same as your server version using the Forge installer here or Fabric installer here.

Upload the server mods to the /mods folder via WebFTP or FileZilla (If you do not have a mods folder create it).Go to curseforge website to download the mods here (Please download mods that have the same version as your server).Start the server to generate the files/folders.Some mods might not be fully compatible with Mohist and some might break your server entirely (BE CAREFUL AND ALWAYS BACKUP). Mohist supports both forge mods and plugins. To be able to add mods to the server you would need a jar that is compatible such as Forge, Fabric or Mohist.
