Minecraft mods/plugins

[murgero]

@u_sernam_e Weird forum to be asking, doesn't forge have a community you can ask in?

that said - yes, all users connecting to the forge serve need the client mods installed.

[u_sernam_e]

@murgero Yes forge has a community but I more wanted to know if there was another way. Like a spigot or bukkit Minecraft server option.

@u_sernam_e PaperMC is my go to server. It runs spigot/bukkit plugins.

[u_sernam_e]

@murgero Can you do that through cloudron?

[girish]

There is a minecraft forge app that supports mods - https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/minecraft/#mods . But I have to admit I don't really know the minecraft lingo/terms here that you and @murgero are talking about. So, I will just leave the doc link here and let you decide if it applies to you.

@murgero said in Minecraft mods/plugins:

PaperMC

I see someone opened a request here - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/minecraft-app/-/issues/4 and there was even some sort of code here - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/minecraft-app/-/issues/5 . @nebulon did you get a chance to look at those?

[u_sernam_e]

@girish This does apply, but I am looking for a solution for more ease of access, which is leaning towards using plugins which doesn't need players to alter their game in order to join.

[murgero]

@u_sernam_e I have a version of the minecraft forge app (not in app store) that is sort of running paper - but you would legit be better off running it directly in a DigitalOcean, Linode, or the like. there are also forge/spigot server hosts you can get plans from too.

I am running a different version of this myself:

Did this so I can use the plugin Dynmap as the main website.
I also used Multiverse.

@brutalbirdie Very nice! You can get better performance (especially with dynmap) by pre-loading chunks. How's lag on your cloudron with it?

[BrutalBirdie]

@murgero honestly I never played much on that server.. its more like a community / friends project.
And they never complained.

@brutalbirdie dynmap looks like you got a bit of a village going in 2 worlds. It looks very nice!
