In this video, I show you how to set up a Minecraft server with either plugins or mods, on Ubuntu Server.
*Because of the way plugins and mods are implemented on Minecraft Server, there is no way to have support for both plugins and mods on the same server; you must choose one or the other. Also, if you are setting up a server with mods, unlike with plugins, Minecraft Forge, as well as the mods on your server, will also need to be installed on each of your players' computers.

*If you are using Windows or Mac, you will need to use a third-party SFTP client in order to transfer files between your computer and your server.

Disclaimer: When installing Ubuntu Server, make absolutely sure that you select the correct target drive in the installer, and that there is nothing on the target drive that you need, because it WILL BE ERASED!

Prerequisites:
1. A spare computer (to install Ubuntu Server on, and to act as the server)
2. A flash drive (at least 2 GB)
3. A network connection for your server (preferably Ethernet, but Wi-Fi will do)

Install Java: sudo apt install openjdk-17-jre (note: this may change in the future)
Download a file directly to your server: wget [link to file] (example: wget 𝚑𝚝𝚝𝚙𝚜://𝚑𝚞𝚋.𝚜𝚙𝚒𝚐𝚘𝚝𝚖𝚌.𝚘𝚛𝚐/𝚓𝚎𝚗𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚜/𝚓𝚘𝚋/𝙱𝚞𝚒𝚕𝚍𝚃𝚘𝚘𝚕𝚜/𝚕𝚊𝚜𝚝𝚂𝚞𝚌𝚌𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚏𝚞𝚕𝙱𝚞𝚒𝚕𝚍/𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚒𝚏𝚊𝚌𝚝/𝚝𝚊𝚛𝚐𝚎𝚝/𝙱𝚞𝚒𝚕𝚍𝚃𝚘𝚘𝚕𝚜.𝚓𝚊𝚛)
