This video tutorial guides you through the process of creating a modded Minecraft server using the Forge Mod Loader for version 1.21.7. It covers essential steps such as downloading Forge, Java, and necessary mods from platforms like CurseForge and Modrinth.
To host your server, you'll need to install Forge by selecting "Install Server" in the Forge Installer and setting up a dedicated server folder. After installation, you'll modify the eula.txt file to accept the EULA and run the server. For your friends to join, they must also install Forge and the same mods locally, and you'll need to port forward your router to allow external connections.
The video provides links for additional resources, including port forwarding guides and troubleshooting tips. If you're looking for hosting options, the tutorial mentions SimpleGameHosting for setting up a 24-hour server quickly. For detailed instructions, visit the video link:
