What is a Forge server?

Forge is the oldest and by far the most widely used modloader for Minecraft Java. If you want to play real content mods – new items, machines, magic systems, dimensions, mobs – you need a Forge server in most cases. Virtually all major modpacks like All The Mods, Feed The Beast, RLCraft, SkyFactory and Hexxit are based on Forge.

The difference from plugins: Mods change the game on a fundamental level. They can add new blocks, crafting recipes, mobs and entire game mechanics – while plugins (as on Spigot/Paper) can only hook into existing game mechanics. Mods must be installed on both the server and the players' clients.

On CurseForge, you'll find tens of thousands of free Forge mods and curated modpacks. With Forge, you can build your own modpack or install one of the popular pre-built packs. Forge supports current Minecraft versions like 1.20.1 and 1.20.4 as well as older versions like 1.12.2, which are still very popular in the modding community.

At Mine-Hoster, you install Forge and any modpack with one click through our GamePanel. The server automatically loads the correct Forge version and all mods – no manual configuration needed. You can also add your own mods via drag & drop.

Frequently Asked Questions about Forge

What is the difference between mods and plugins?

Mods change Minecraft fundamentally – they add new blocks, items and game mechanics. Plugins (Spigot/Paper) can only extend existing mechanics. Mods must also be installed on the players' clients, plugins do not.

How do I install a modpack on Forge?

At Mine-Hoster, simply select your desired modpack from our GamePanel modpack browser. Forge and all mods are installed automatically – the server is ready to play after a few minutes.

How much RAM does a Forge server need?

It depends on the modpack. Small modpacks need 4 GB, medium ones 6-8 GB. Large kitchen-sink packs like ATM or FTB need 10-16 GB. Plain Forge servers without a modpack run with 4 GB.

Which Minecraft version does Forge support?

Forge supports current versions (1.20.x, 1.21.x) and older ones like 1.16.5 and 1.12.2, which are very popular in the modding community. NeoForge is a modern fork focused on newer versions.
