Resolving a modloader error on a Minecraft server is essential because it addresses underlying code incompatibilities or missing dependencies that prevent the server from launching. Fixing these errors ensures that all server-side mods sync correctly with the game files, establishing a stable environment free from sudden crashes and game-breaking bugs. Ultimately, resolving these startup failures allows players to connect without experiencing immediate disconnects or client-side compatibility issues.

Note: Always ensure the mod is compatible with the server and other mods. Make backups locally to avoid losing any necessary files.

1. Log in to the BisectHosting Starbase panel.

2. Stop the server.

3. Go to the Files tab.

4. Open the logs folder.

5. Choose the desired log.

6. Take note of affected mods in the [main/ERROR] line.

Note: Temporarily removing an affected mod can help troubleshoot the server.

7. Read and apply the potential solutions, if any.

8. Start the server. Repeat the process for additional errors.

Common Errors

Incompatible mods

The incompatible mods error is fixed by removing incompatible mods or adding required dependencies. Verify the mod description to ensure all dependencies are added, and non-compatible mods do not conflict with each other.

Wrong version

Adding a Minecraft 1.20 mod to a Minecraft 26.1 server will cause errors. Ensure the downloaded mod matches the current server version.

Wrong modloader

The server will log a warning or error to the console if a mod is not compatible with the currently installed modloader. Make sure all installed mods match the current server modloader.

Client-side only mod

A client-side-only mod is not required on the server. Ensure any mods added to the server are not client-only. Remove any client mods that will log errors or unnecessarily bloat the server.
