How to install Fabric mods

Prerequisites

Before installing mods, ensure your server is running a Fabric-compatible server jar. If you are not currently on Fabric, you can switch your server type using the Version Changer in your AwakeNode panel.

Installing Mods on AwakeNode

AwakeNode provides a built-in Mod Installer that simplifies the process of adding, updating, or removing mods without manual file management.

1. Log in to your AwakeNode panel and select your server.
2. Navigate to the Mod Installer tab.
3. Search for your desired mod or upload a .jar file directly.
4. Click Install. The panel will automatically place the file in the correct directory and restart your server.

Installing Mods Manually

If you prefer to manage files manually or are using a host without an automated installer, you can use the File Manager or an SFTP client (such as FileZilla).

1. Download the Fabric mod .jar file from a trusted source like Modrinth or CurseForge.
2. Access your server files via the File Manager in the panel or connect via SFTP.
3. Locate the mods folder in your server's root directory. If it does not exist, create a new folder named mods.
4. Upload your mod .jar files into this folder.
5. Restart your server to load the mods.

Important Notes

• Dependencies: Many Fabric mods require the Fabric API to function. Ensure this is installed in your mods folder first.
• Version Matching: Always verify that the mod version matches your server's Minecraft version.
• Startup Flags: If a mod requires specific JVM arguments to run, please open a ticket with Support. Clients cannot edit startup flags directly, but our team can apply these for you.
• RAM: If your server crashes due to "Out of Memory" errors after adding mods, you may need to upgrade your plan. On AwakeNode, your RAM allocation updates automatically upon upgrading.
