Frequently Asked Questions About OptiFine and Forge Hosting
No. OptiFine runs on each player's own computer and the server needs nothing for it, so players can join with or without it.
Forge is the most popular modding API for Minecraft, providing the framework that allows mods to work together seamlessly. It handles mod loading, configuration, and compatibility, making it essential for running any modded Minecraft server with custom content, from simple additions to complete overhauls.
RAM requirements vary based on mod count and player numbers. Lightly modded servers with 5-10 players need 2-4GB, moderately modded servers with 10-20 players require 4-8GB, and heavily modded servers with 20+ players need 8-16GB. More mods always require more RAM.
No, players must install Forge and the same mods as the server to connect. Some mods are server-side only, but most require client-side installation. Your control panel gives your players the exact pack or mod list to join with.
We offer Forge for Minecraft 1.12.2 to the newest release. Pick the version your mods or modpack list on their download page, and switch versions from the Game Type menu in the panel.
Add mods from the Mods tab in your control panel: it lists only mods made for your Forge and Minecraft version, adds any mod they need, and puts them in at your next restart. The Modpacks tab installs a whole pack, with a backup first. You can also upload your own mod .jar files with the File Manager.
