Step 1: Ensure Your Server is Mod-Compatible

Step 3: Upload Mods to Your Server

Step 4: Restart Your Server

1. Return to the Server Control section.

2. Click Restart to load the mods.

3. Once restarted, check the console for any error messages related to mod compatibility.

Step 5: Verify Mods are Working

1. Join your server and confirm the mods are active.

2. Use /mods (if applicable) or inspect gameplay changes to ensure the mods are loaded correctly.
