How to Upload Mods to Your purehosted Server

0 0 0 0

Follow these steps to locate your mod files in CurseForge, Modrinth, or manual downloads and upload them to your purehosted server:

🔍 Step 1: Open CurseForge/Modrinth and Locate Your Modpack

1. Launch the CurseForge or Modrinth app.
2. Locate your modpacks:
   1. In CurseForge, go to the My Modpacks tab.
   2. In Modrinth, go to the Home tab or open the instance/profile folder.
3. Find the modpack you want to upload mods from.
4. Click the three dots (⋮) on the modpack tile and select Open Folder to open the pack root in Windows Explorer.

📁 Step 2: Open the Mods Folder

1. In the opened folder, open the mods subfolder.
   • This folder contains the .jar files for the mods installed in your modpack.

🖱️ Step 3: Upload Mods to Your purehosted Server

1. Open your browser and sign in to the purehosted Server Panel.
2. Navigate to your server and open the Files tab.
3. Open the server-side mods folder (typically /home/container/mods). If it does not exist, create it.
4. From Windows Explorer, select the .jar files in your local mods folder and drag them into the panel’s mods folder.
   • Alternatively, use the panel’s Upload button to choose files manually.
   • Quick tip: press Ctrl + A in the local folder to select all .jar files.

⚠️ Client-side only mods — do NOT upload

1. Client-side only mods will not run on the server and can cause crashes or startup failures.
2. Do not upload client-only mods such as shader packs and loaders, minimaps, HUD/UI-only mods, and purely visual/rendering mods.
3. If a mod's page or description states “client-side”, “client only”, or references only rendering/UI, do not upload it.

✅ Step 4: Restart Your Server

Once all mods are uploaded:

1. Open the Console or Overview tab in the panel.
2. Click Restart to apply the changes and allow the server to load the new mods.
