Server Versions can install NeoForge for you. Install it yourself when you need a specific NeoForge version, for example to match a modpack.
Before you start
Switching from Paper? Back up your world first, because a Paper world may not load on NeoForge. See Back up and restore your server. Then stop your server.
Download NeoForge
Go to https://neoforged.net. Choose your Minecraft version and the NeoForge version you need, then click Download Installer.
Install it on your server
- In your panel, open Server Files.
- Move the old server jar out of the way: right-click
server.jar, and rename it to something likeserver-old.jar. - Click Upload, and choose the NeoForge installer you downloaded.
- Rename it to
server.jar, exactly like that, so your server knows to start it. - Start your server. The first time, the installer sets up NeoForge, then starts your server. This takes a minute or two.
Once it works, you can delete server-old.jar. Now add your mods to the mods folder, and you're ready to go.
