About this video: If you want to play modded Minecraft with your friends, you will need to learn how to create a modded Minecraft server. Luckily, you have found our complete guide on how to make a modded Minecraft server in 1.20.2. So, let’s jump right on into it.
First things first, we will need to download Forge. Forge is the modded Minecraft server type we will be using. There are two types of modded Minecraft servers - Forge and Fabric. The choice is up to you, but we will be showing you how to host a modded Minecraft 1.20.2 server using Forge in this video.
You can find a link to download Forge in the description above. That will take you to our text guide on getting Forge. There, click the “Download Forge” link which will take you to Forge’s official website. Here, click on 1.20.2 on the left-hand side and click on “Download Installer”. Forge 1.20.2 will then begin downloading.
After you have the Forge Installer, create a “Modded Minecraft 1.20.2 Server” folder on your desktop. Then open up the Forge Installer you downloaded with Java. In the installer, click on “Install Client” and click okay. Forge will then install in your local Minecraft 1.20.2. This is required as you must have Forge locally and on your server in order to join. Mods will also need to be on the server and in the local mods folder for every player who joins your server.
Next, reopen up the Forge installer. Then, click on “Install Server”. A red box will appear. Click the three dots and navigate to the “Modded Minecraft 1.20.2 Server” folder you created. Select it and then click “Okay” in the installer. The 1.20.2 Forge server will download.
Now, open up the folder you created on your desktop. There will be a “run.bat” Windows batch file. Double-click this and some files will generate, but your modded Minecraft server will fail to start.
You will now have an eula.txt file. Open this and change “eula=false” to “eula=true”. Save the file, and double-click the run.bat file again. Your modded Minecraft 1.20.2 server will now start!
At this point, though your friends can’t join your Forge server in 1.20.2 even after they get Forge locally. In order for them to join, you will need to port forward the port 25565 on the TCP and UDP protocol. We go over this in-depth in the video. Then, after that, they can join via your public IP.
How do you get mods on your 1.20.2 modded Minecraft server though? Well, in order to add mods, you will first want to make sure the mods that you are downloading are Forge 1.20.2 mods. This is required as you have a 1.20.2 Forge server.
After that, you will just need to make sure you server is stopped and add the mods to the “mods” folder on your server. Then, start the server. Your mods are now added. You will also need to add the mods to your local mods folder. Again, with modded Minecraft server, you need the mods on the server and every player needs all the mods in the local mods folder as well.
Once you have the mods locally and on your server, make sure to start your server, and you can join and start playing modded Minecraft with your friends in 1.20.2.
At this point, you now know exactly how to make a modded Minecraft server in 1.20.2. If you have any questions about how to create a modded Minecraft server, let us know in the comments. We will try our best to help you out.
