Installing Mods in Minutes
Remember that you can only install mods on Forge and Modpack servers. Spigot, Bukkit, and Standard Minecraft do not have mod support.Requirements:
- Your selected mod .jar file
- Supported Forge .jar file
Once you have your files downloaded, go to your game server page.
This can be done by going to Scalacube.com and logging into your account.
Next, go to the "Servers" page and click on "Manage server".
Once there, click on "Install a game server" and install a Forge server which is supported by your selected mod.
Once the game server is installed, click on "Manage"
Locate "File Manager" and enter it.
Locate the "mods" folder and enter it.
Click on "Upload" and upload your selected mod .jar file into this directory.
Go back and start your server.
The next step is to install an identical Forge client as your server is.
Once your Forge client is installed, you will now need to upload your mod onto your client.
To do this, open up the search bar and type in %appdata%
Next, go to .minecraft/mods and copy your mod .jar file into this directory.
The mod is now installed and you can now log into your server.
- Log in to website
- Go to Servers and install a game server
- Go to mods folder and upload mod
- Install Forge client
- Go to %appdata%/.minecraft/mods
- Upload mod to client
On top of ease of access, you can also install hundreds of different servers and modpacks, see more on our Minecraft server hosting page.
