How to Uninstall Mods from Your Minecraft Server
Learn how to safely remove mods from your Forge or Fabric server.
Removing mods requires care — deleting a mod that added blocks or items to your world will permanently remove those blocks.
Removing a Mod
Stop your server
Access the XGamingServer panel and stop your server.
Create a backup
Go to Backups and create a backup in case the removal causes issues.
Delete the mod JAR
Go to Files, navigate to /mods/, and delete the mod's .jar file.
Delete the mod's config (optional)
Navigate to /config/ and delete the mod's configuration folder or file.
Start your server
Start the server and check Console for errors.
What Happens to Modded Content?
| Content Type | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Modded blocks (placed in world) | Replaced with air (permanently gone) |
| Modded items (in inventories) | Removed from inventories |
| Modded dimensions | Becomes inaccessible |
| Modded enchantments | Stripped from items |
| Config files | Remain unless manually deleted |
⚠️ Warning: Removing a mod that adds blocks or items to the world permanently deletes that content. Always backup first.
📝 Note: If other mods depend on the one you're removing, the server may crash. Check for dependency errors in
Console.
💡 Tip: If players get "Mismatched mod channel list" errors after you remove a mod, they need to remove the same mod from their client.
