How to install Forge on any server

This tutorial covers how to manually install Forge on a server. (If you don't want to use our built-in Installer from Plugins and Modpack section)

Summary: You need to install forge server files on your PC and then upload those files to the server.


1) Download Forge Installer on your PC
Go to forge website: http://files.minecraftforge.net/ and select the version and build you want and click the Installer (Or installer-win)




*don't upload this installer file on to the server! It won't work like that!*


2) Run the installer - Now go to the downloaded file and run it. (Double click). What you'll see is another downloader/installer program. This will actually download the forge server files for you on to your PC.




3) Install Server files to a empty folder - After running the program select: INSTALL SERVER and then change the install path to a easily accessible location. Don't use the default.
Click on





4) Upload the installed files to your server.

Now just upload all the files to your server via FTP or similar file transfer method.

With STIPE, we recommend the following method:

Zip all the files and go to the FILE MANAGER section on the STIPE Control Panel.



Now drag and drop in the ZIP file from yoru PC to the File Manager and extract!

Finally, go back to the control panel and change the server JAR startup file to the forge jar file you uploaded.



5) Start up server!

Now you can stop server and upload your custom mods in the mods folder! Happy Crafting!

Feels like too much to handle? Just give us a yell in the support section and we can install it for you!
OR the version you are looking for might already be in the Plugins and Modpack section. Just install with a CLICK!

Another record has been broken! STIPE has added 4 more server boxes to its existing massive collection over the past month! Making this our largest server count ever!

STIPE is the only hosting company that has kept its resource limits to < 60% loaded on every box in the last 15 years!

Happy customers = Happy STIPE!

We thank our customers for their continued trust in STIPE!

Here is how to add a Minecraft Server icon.

You need to upload a PNG file that's 64x64 pixels in size and is called: server-icon.png

Here is an easy way to make your own icon using an existing image in your computer:

1. CONVERT: If your picture is not 64x64, convert it first. We love this website tool which does it easily: http://www.genfavicon.com/
2. DOWNLOAD: Once your picture is converted and selected as 64x64 pixels. Click the "Download: PNG" to download and save it to your computer.
3. UPLOAD: Upload the PNG file using the FILE MANAGER section of the control panel. Don't put it in any folder. Just place it right at the root of your server files.
4. RENAME: Finally, using file manager rename the file to: "server-icon.png"
5. RESTART: Restart server!

Over the past month we have added and updated over 110 Minecraft Modpacks and installed many more as per customer request.

The list is too big to mention here but here is a quick summary:

Minecraft updated to 1.8.5, these are mainly some security and bug fixes. Game-play has not changed since 1.8 release. Those who are on older versions of 1.8 vanilla we recommend you head on over to the addons section and click the install button for 1.8.5.
