How To Utilize Plugins on a Modded/Forge Server

Most mods and modern packs practise non back up Bukkit plugins as they are based off of vanilla Minecraft. Notwithstanding, with BukkitForge, MCPC+ (and futurity forks such as Cauldron, KCauldron and Thermos) and/or Sponge, you can enable plugin support again.
Annotation: Before installing BukkitForge or MCPC+, you lot must run the modern/mod pack at least once and confirm information technology to be working by joining your server. At that place will also exist a list of mods at the bottom of thie guide that do not work with MCPC+/Cauldron etc.. and would need to exist removed from your modpack (both on the server and your launcher unless stated otherwise) in lodge to add plugins.

Currently, Bukkit plugins can be used on almost all modpacks that run on Forge one.4.vii up to ane.7.10 (At that place will always be some exceptions/bugs/issues - Forge and Bukkit are not designed to work together) using the post-obit server software. Forge 1.8 and newer cannot be used alongside Bukkit plugins, merely can use SpongeForge to allow the use of Sponge plugins.

Easy 1-Click Installer Method (for MCPC+ and Cauldron/KCauldron/Thermos): At the time of this writing, the MCPC+ and Cauldron server JAR files should be available from the JAR File drop down menu in the Multicraft control console. Simply select it (later you get your mod/modpack working), click Save at the lesser of the page, and restart your server to start using it. Make sure to select the version that corresponds with the mod/modpack you are using otherwise it may not work or could fifty-fifty suspension your server.

-For modpacks using Forge one.4.vii or 1.5.2 use the MCPC+ options.
-For modpacks using Forge one.six.iv use the Cauldron choice.
-For modpacks using Forge 1.vii.ten use the KCauldron or Thermos options.
---The 1.vii.10 Cauldron option is for much older 1.7.x packs, due to a modify in Forge ane.seven.10 in later on builds (mail .1291). Always apply KCauldron/Thermos for newer modpacks.

Installing BukkitForgeBukkitForge is an alternative to MCPC+ for older modpacks - You can use one or the other merely non both as they volition conflict and crash if you add BukkitForge to an MCPC+ server.

To use BukkitForge, download the relevant version of BukkitForge yous need here:

BukkitForge i.4.7
BukkitForge 1.five.two

i. Download the JAR file for your server's Minecraft version.
2. Once the JAR file for BukkitForge is downloaded, merely upload that JAR file to your server'south coremods folder, then restart information technology. If your server starts up normally, then information technology should generate a plugins folder (if it didn't exist already) and load upwards whatsoever plugins if they exist in that folder and are compatible with that server version.

Note: In general MCPC+ is a amend alternative to BukkitForge, as BukkitForge is compatible with less Bukkit plugins in full general and as information technology was not in development for as long information technology will accept more bugs. BukkitForge is only recommended in the rare instance that MCPC+ does not work with the mods you are using.

Forge 1.8+ and SpongeDevelopment on KCauldron (and Cauldron/MCPC+) has long since concluded - and as of typing this there are no known plans for those updating Thermos to update that to Forge 1.8+ either - which means that there is currently no manner to run Bukkit plugins on a Forge 1.8+ server.

Even so - you tin all the same use plugins on the server in the form of Sponge Plugins. Whilst this does hateful that the majority of features you may have found in Bukkit plugins may not be available, there is still some culling for basic features you may wish to add.

To employ Sponge you lot would either need to use the version we have on the jarlist - simply select it on the list, hit Save at the bottom of the page and restart to load the listed build of Forge and install the listed build of the SpongeForge modernistic (this will not remove any mods y'all already accept installed and they should load upwards as normal if they are for the chosen Forge version) - or you would need to upload the relevant version of the SpongeForge modernistic for your servers current Forge version to the mods folder and restart the server.
You can download SpongeForge here: https://world wide web.spongepowered.org/downloads/spongeforge

Annotation that it merely works on specific builds of Forge - for example, the build we have available on the jarlist for i.10.2 at the time of writing this (5.2.0-BETA-2433) volition just work with Forge i.ten.ii build 12.18.three.2281. The Forge build any SpongeForge version requires is listed in the SpongeForge file name (Unremarkably 'spongeforge-[MC Version]-[Forge Build]-[Sponge Version]-BETA-[Sponge Build].jar').
Equally such if you wish to use a modern that requires a newer build of Forge than the options are listed with, they cannot be used. You will need to install the build of Forge y'all need and a build of SpongeForge that is compatible with that build (if whatever) following the guide HERE.

Once SpongeForge is installed and loaded up you lot tin can start adding the Sponge plugins you wish to use - which you tin download either from the Sponge forums hither: https://forums.spongepowered.org/c/plugins/plugin-releases
Or their plugin repository hither: https://ore.spongepowered.org/When you have all of the plugin files you wish to use you lot just demand to upload them to the servers mods binder (not the plugins folder in this case, as yous would with Bukkit plugins) and restart the server. Equally long as they are compatible with the SpongeForge version you lot are using they should load up fine, and their config files will exist generated in the '/config' directory of your server files the aforementioned as any other mods you lot use.

Note:Although both SpongeForge and all Sponge plugins are installed in the '/mods' directory with all of your other mods, they still act the same as ordinary plugins and y'all practise not need to install SpongeForge or the plugins on your launcher. They just need to be installed serverside.
Note 2:Sponge is still in 'early' development and while it is at present at a phase that a lot of plugins are usable and practise non cause too many issues, and SpongeForge itself is adequately stable, at that place may still be problems purely due to this fact. This volition mean that there may exist some bug that cannot be helped, and can only be resolved past removing the plugin that causes them (at least until they update to fix the result).

Mods known to non piece of work with MCPC+/Cauldron/KCauldron/ThermosAny mods listed hither either practise not work with any of these Forge modifications and must be removed (from both the servers mods folder and your launchers, unless stated otherwise) or do not work with specific options as listed. If they are left on the server they will cause MCPC+ etc.. to crash.

-MobiusCore does not piece of work with MCPC+/Cauldron/KCauldron (and possibly Thermos - untested).
-Opis does not work with MCPC+/Cauldron/KCauldron (and maybe Thermos - untested).
-FastCraft does not work with MCPC+ and some older versions of Cauldron/KCauldron, the latest KCauldron works with FastCraft fine (This simply needs to exist removed from the server - you can go along it on your launcher).

If you know of any other mods that practice not work with one of these options delight let united states of america know via the tickets and nosotros volition add them to this list!
