Tutorials/Setting up a Minecraft Forge server

This page will teach the player how to install a Forge server.

Text version
Firstly, you need the Forge installer, which can be downloaded from the official Forge download page. Once downloaded, launch it and choose option "Install server". If you're installing Forge on a headless server with no graphical interface, run the following command (*Run the command where? Needs clarification.*) (replace "x.xx.x" with the correct version number for the installer you downloaded): java -jar forge-x.xx.x-installer.jar --installServer If you get an error about "Downloading Minecraft server failed, invalid e-tag checksum.", you will need to install a vanilla Minecraft server and then run Forge installer. The vanilla server can be downloaded in its respective page.

Once you started vanilla server (don't forget to change EULA), install Forge and you are done. Now you can launch Forge server by double clicking "forge-version-xx.xx.x.xxxx-version.universal.jar" or using the command below.
