Hosting an Forge Server on a VPS without XGamingServer Panel

Hosting your own Forge server on a Virtual Private Server (VPS) offers unparalleled control over your gaming environment, allowing you to customize game modes, control player access, and much more. This guide walks you through the process of setting up your own Forge server, ensuring you have everything you need for an optimized and enjoyable multiplayer experience.

Before you begin, ensure you have access to a VPS with Ubuntu or a similar Linux distribution installed. You will also need root access or privileges to execute commands via sudo. Familiarity with the command line interface (CLI) is beneficial but not necessary, as this guide provides step-by-step instructions.

Need a reliable VPS for your Forge server? XGamingServer offers high-performance VPS hosting solutions with optimized configurations for gaming servers. Our VPS packages come with guaranteed CPU resources, SSD storage, and 24/7 support to ensure your server runs smoothly. Check out our VPS hosting options here.

Step 1: Connect to Your Server

ssh your_username@your_vps_ip

Step 2: Install SteamCMD

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
                    sudo apt install lib32gcc-s1 lib32stdc++6 curl wget net-tools screen ufw -y
                    mkdir ~/steamcmd && cd ~/steamcmd
                    wget https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
                    tar -xvzf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz

Step 3: Install the Forge Server using SteamCMD

./steamcmd.sh
                    login anonymous
                    force_install_dir ~/forge-server
                    app_update 1874900 validate
                    quit

Step 4: Configure Firewall Rules

sudo ufw allow ssh
                    sudo ufw allow 2001/udp
                    sudo ufw allow 17777/udp
                    sudo ufw allow 27015/udp
                    sudo ufw enable

Step 5: Configure Forge Server

Create a directory for your configuration:

mkdir -p ~/forge-server/config

Create a config.json file with the following content:

{
                      "dedicatedServerId": "YourServerID",
                      "region": "EU",
                      "gameHostBindAddress": "0.0.0.0",
                      "gameHostBindPort": 2001,
                      "gameHostRegisterBindAddress": "0.0.0.0",
                      "gameHostRegisterPort": 17777,
                      "game": {
                        "name": "Your Server Name",
                        "password": "YourServerPassword",
                        "scenarioId": "{329112915AD1A295}Missions/23_Campaign.conf",
                        "playerCountLimit": 64,
                        "visible": true,
                        "gameProperties": {
                          "serverMaxViewDistance": 2500,
                          "serverMinGrassDistance": 50,
                          "networkViewDistance": 1000,
                          "disableThirdPerson": false,
                          "fastValidation": true,
                          "battlEye": true
                        },
                        "mods": []
                      }
                    }

Step 6: Create Startup Script

Create a startup script for better server management:

nano ~/start-server.sh

Add the following content:

#!/bin/bash
                    cd ~/forge-server
                    screen -dmS forge java -Xms2G -Xmx4G -jar server.jar nogui
                    echo "Forge server started in screen session. To view, use: screen -r forge"

Make the script executable:

chmod +x ~/start-server.sh

Step 7: Start Your Server

~/start-server.sh

Step 8: Connect to Your Forge Server

To join your server, launch the Minecraft Java Edition launcher, navigate to the Multiplayer menu, and find your server under the Community tab. You can join directly using the server's IP address and port 25565.

Enhancing Your Server

Consider registering a .gg domain for your server to make it easily identifiable and memorable to players. A custom domain can significantly enhance your server's visibility and accessibility within the gaming community.

Server Maintenance

Remember to regularly update your server with:

cd ~/steamcmd
                    ./steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir ~/forge-server +app_update 1874900 validate +quit
Note: While self-hosting gives you complete control, it requires technical knowledge and ongoing maintenance. XGamingServer offers specialized Forge Server Hosting with instant setup, performance guarantees, and 24/7 technical support - saving you time and ensuring optimal performance.

Setting up an Forge server on a VPS might seem daunting at first, but by following these detailed steps, you can create a robust, customizable gaming environment that meets your specific needs.

About Minecraft Forge — The Original Modding Platform

Minecraft Forge is the original and most widely used Minecraft mod loader, providing the runtime and API that powers virtually every "kitchen sink" modpack you've heard of. With over 15 years of active development, Forge supports tens of thousands of mods and is the backbone of CurseForge, where the vast majority of popular modpacks are distributed.

Forge is purpose-built for modded servers running 5–30 players with 100–400 mods. It's the right choice if you want to run All The Mods 9, FTB Skies, RLCraft, Better MC, Create: Above and Beyond, or any other curated CurseForge pack. Mods hook deep into game internals via Forge's mature event/capability/registry system, enabling everything from new dimensions and biomes to custom machinery and magic systems.

Forge vs NeoForge: NeoForge emerged in 2023 as a community-driven fork that's now a parallel option for newer Minecraft versions. Many newer modpacks ship as NeoForge while older curated packs remain on Forge. XGamingServer supports both — switch between Forge and NeoForge through the control panel based on what your modpack needs.

Forge servers are RAM-hungry. A 5-player ATM-class pack typically wants 6–8GB allocated, and 200+ mod packs at 10–20 players often need 10–16GB. Our pricing tiers go up to 24GB precisely for this reason. Combined with the one-click CurseForge installer, you can have any modpack running in under five minutes without ever touching a config file.

Key Features

One-Click CurseForge Modpacks: Browse and install any modpack from CurseForge, FTB, Modrinth, or Technic directly from the panel — no manual downloads, no config wrestling.

Automatic Java Version Selection: Modpacks targeting MC 1.20+ need Java 17 or 21. We detect the modpack's requirements and switch Java versions automatically.

NeoForge Supported: Switch between Forge and NeoForge through the control panel. Both modloaders are first-class citizens.

Generous RAM for Heavy Packs: Tiers up to 24GB guaranteed RAM, sized for the demanding ATM-class kitchen-sink modpacks that need every megabyte.

Forge is an action strategy simulation shooter game developed by Bohemia Interactive. Players will enter an authentic Cold War combat scenario and have the ability to customize it however players see fit.
Does Forge have dedicated servers?
  • Yes, Forge does indeed support dedicated servers, providing players with a stable and controlled environment for their multiplayer engagements. This feature allows for enhanced performance, reduced latency, and a more reliable connection, greatly benefiting the overall gameplay experience. Dedicated servers are crucial for a game like Forge, which emphasizes large-scale, tactical combat scenarios and a high degree of player coordination. By hosting their own servers, players and communities can customize their experience, enforce specific rules, and create unique gameplay scenarios, further extending the game's versatility and appeal.
Why should I choose Forge dedicated Server Hosting from a hosting provider?
  • Choosing dedicated Forge Hosting from a hosting provider offers greater stability, better performance, and a more secure hosting environment compared to running a server on your own. With a dedicated server, you have complete control over the game configuration, ensuring an optimal player experience without the need for extensive technical knowledge. Additionally, hosting providers often offer support services to help manage your server efficiently.
Can I manage my Forge Hosting on my own?
  • Yes, with Forge Dedicated Server Hosting, you have complete control over the server and can manage it on your own. However, some hosting providers may offer additional services such as server administration, backups, and security to help you keep your server running smoothly. For us, you will manage your Forge server using our custom game panel.
How many players can join my Forge server?
  • Forge supports up to 128 players on a single server, though the ideal player count depends on your server's hardware and the game mode being played. Conflict and Capture & Hold modes typically run best with 64-128 players, while Game Master scenarios can be tailored to smaller groups. Our hosting plans provide the dedicated CPU cores and RAM needed to handle large player counts with stable performance.
Can I customize my Forge server settings?
  • Yes, with our custom panel, you can customize your Forge server settings to match your preferred setup, including server name, game mode, difficulty, player slots, and more. Some hosting providers may offer a control panel or other tools to make it easy to manage your server settings.
Does Forge support Cross Play?
  • Yes! Forge fully supports crossplay between PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5 platforms, allowing players from all platforms to join the same multiplayer servers and play together seamlessly.
  • The PlayStation 5 version was released on December 12, 2024, completing the cross-platform ecosystem alongside PC and Xbox Series X/S versions.
  • The crossplay functionality works across all game modes including Conflict, Capture and Hold, Combat Ops, and Game Master scenarios with no limitations between platforms.
  • Our servers are optimized for cross-platform performance, ensuring low latency gameplay regardless of which platform players are using.
  • PlayStation 5 players benefit from exclusive DualSense features including adaptive trigger resistance and haptic feedback for an enhanced tactical experience.
Is Forge Hosting affordable?
  • The cost of Forge Hosting will vary depending on the provider, the server configuration, and the amount of resources you need. At XGamingServer we have plans from $8, dedicated server hosting is more expensive compared to shared hosting, but it offers more performance, stability, and control over the server.
Can I upgrade my Forge Hosting as my needs change?
  • Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your Forge Hosting anytime you need.
What are the system requirements for hosting an Forge server?
  • Minimum System Requirements:
    • Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit)
    • Processor: Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 3 3300X
    • Memory: 8 GB RAM
    • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB or AMD Radeon RX 580 4GB
    • DirectX: Version 11
    • Storage: 50 GB of space
    • Note: An SSD is recommended for a better gameplay experience.
    Recommended System Requirements:
    • Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit), with a nod towards Windows 11 for those looking ahead
    • Processor: Intel Core i7-8700 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600
    • Memory: 16 GB RAM
    • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB or AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB
    • DirectX: Version 12
    • Storage: 50 GB of space, with SSD preferred for quicker load times and smoother play.
Can I host an Forge server for free?
  • While you can technically host an Forge server on your own PC for free, this comes with significant limitations: your server is only online when your PC is running, you'll experience performance issues during gameplay, your home internet upload speed limits player connections, and you expose your network to security risks.
  • Professional Forge server hosting like XGamingServer offers 24/7 uptime, dedicated AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processors, DDoS protection, automated backups, and guaranteed RAM - features impossible to replicate with free self-hosting.
  • For serious players and communities, paid hosting starting at $10.50/month delivers far better value than the electricity costs, hardware wear, and gameplay compromises of free self-hosting.
