Minecraft: Installation of SpongeForge on a Forge gameserver

SpongeForge is a mod based on the SpongeAPI that enables the use of Sponge plugins on a modified Forge gameserver.

Before installing SpongeForge on your Forge gameserver, we recommend making a backup of your gameserver. You can do this using our Backup Manager, which you can find in the GSM under the "Backups" tab.

This guide will show you how to install SpongeForge on your Forge gameserver:

1. Choose the recommended SpongeForge version:
• On the Sponge Forge Download page, you can find the appropriate SpongeForge version that matches your already installed Forge gameserver. For example, if you have a 1.16.5 Forge gameserver, you should select the SpongeForge version for 1.16.5.
2. Upload SpongeForge to your gameserver:
• Upload the downloaded SpongeForge JAR file (e.g., spongeforge-1.16.5-XXXX-X.X.X.jar) to the mods folder on your gameserver.
3. Restart your gameserver:
• Restart your gameserver to complete the installation of SpongeForge.
