Mods & pluginsIf you installed a mod and nothing changed, the cause is almost always one of a few simple things.
Check these in order
- Is it in the right folder?
It must be directly in
mods/, as a.zipor.jar. A mod inside another folder, or unzipped, won't load. - Did you restart?
Mods are loaded at startup. Uploading a file while the server runs doesn't load it.
- Does the console say anything?
Read the startup lines in the console or in
logs/. Errors about a missing dependency or an incompatible version are the most common. - Is it up to date?
After a game update, a mod built for the previous version may stop working until its author updates it.
Temporarily move the other mods out of mods/ and start with only the problem one. If it loads alone, another mod is conflicting with it.
