What is Forge?
Forge is the longest-running Minecraft mod loader - the platform behind most of the famous mods and modpacks of the last decade. A Forge server lets you run server-side mods and build exactly the modded experience you want, one mod at a time.
Unlike plugins, most Forge mods need to be installed on the players' clients too (matching versions). That's the trade-off for mods that add entirely new blocks, machines, and dimensions.
Why host Forge with Crafty Servers?
Install any mod
Full file access via the web file manager or SFTP - drop mods into the mods folder and restart.
Choose a size that fits
Forge requires at least 2 GB RAM. Eligible sizes and their full specifications appear above.
Room to grow
Heavier mod lists and full modpacks want 4 GB+ - upgrade in place, your world stays put.
Or skip the setup entirely
Prefer a ready-made pack? Our one-click modpack types (like Tekkit) install themselves.
Frequently asked questions
Can I run Forge on the free size?
Forge requires at least 2 GB RAM. Choose one of the eligible paid sizes above. Vanilla and Paper; modpacks require a larger paid size.
How do I install mods?
Open the file manager (or SFTP) from your panel, upload the mod .jar files into the mods folder, and restart the server.
Do players need the mods too?
For most Forge mods, yes - players install the same mods (matching versions) in their own launcher to join.
Can you host a specific modpack for me?
We offer one-click modpacks - Tekkit Classic and Tekkit 2 - that install themselves. For anything else, a Forge server plus SFTP access lets you install the pack's server files yourself.
Want to try the platform first?
Spin up a free live demo - a Vanilla server, online for 24 hours, no signup or card. It's the same panel your Forge server would run on.
