Change the install directory to the location of your 'server folder' 5. Click ok and wait until the installer completes. PART 2 1. Open your 'server folder' 2. Double click on minecraft_server.jar 3. When a file called 'EULA' appears open it in a text editor and copy the link in to a browser. 4. When you have read the EULA and if you agree to it then go back to the text editor and change eula=false to eula=true 5. Save and close the file. PART 3 1. double click on minecraft_server.jar 2. when a box appears wait for it to say "done". 3. type "stop" in to the text box at the bottom of the program and wait until it closes 4. Open server.properties with notepad. PART 4 1. Download and install Hamachi unmanaged 2. Open Hamachi 3. Click on Create New Network 4. Fill in the boxes. MAKE SURE YOU REMEMBER YOUR PASSWORD. and click ok 5. After Hamachi is connected right click on the part just to the right of the power button and click copy ipv4 address 6.

Now double click on forge-mcversion-versionnumber 2. A new folder will appear named mods and a server box will appear. 3. Testing time! Run Minecraft and click on multiplayer; click Direct Connect and paste the ipv4 address in that box, then join the server. If it doesn't connect make sure that you have done all of the steps correctly and that the Minecraft server is still running. 4. In the server console type exit and then press enter. 5. Now you can add mods! PART 6 1. open the mods folder in your server directory. 2. Put any mods here that you want to have installed on your server, make sure they are for the right versions, and are server compatible etc. 3.
