Server
Before getting started, you’ll need to make sure you download a copy of the Quilt installer. You’ll also need to make sure you’ve installed Java.
GUI Installation
Once you have a copy of the Quilt installer downloaded, follow these steps:
- Find the Quilt installer you downloaded and run it
- Ensure that you have the Server tab selected
- Select the version of Minecraft you wish to install Quilt for
- Select the version of the Quilt loader you’d like to use
- Select the location you’d like to install the server to
- Check the Download server jar box
- Click the Install button
This will download a copy of the Minecraft server to the location you specified, and install Quilt to it, providing a
launcher JAR to start the server with. Once that’s done, create a .bat
(for Windows) or .sh
(for Mac/Linux) file,
with the following contents:
java -jar quilt-server-launch.jar nogui
That’s all there is to it - use the corresponding .bat
or .sh
file to start the server for the first time, then
stop it (with /stop
or ctrl+c
) and set it up as you normally would.
CLI Installation
Once you have a copy of the Quilt installer downloaded, you’ll need to run it from your terminal, replacing
INSTALLER_VERSION
and MINECRAFT_VERSION
as needed:
java -jar quilt-installer-INSTALLER_VERSION.jar \
install server MINECRAFT_VERSION \
--download-server
This will download a copy of the Minecraft server to server/
and install Quilt to it, providing a launcher JAR to
start the server with. Once that’s done, create a .bat
(for Windows) or .sh
(for Mac/Linux) file, with the
following contents:
java -jar quilt-server-launch.jar nogui
That’s all there is to it - use the corresponding .bat
or .sh
file to start the server for the first time, then
stop it (with /stop
or ctrl+c
) and set it up as you normally would.
Installing Mods
Installing mods is a fairly simple process:
- Download the mods you’d like to install
- Create a folder named
mods
alongside your server files, if one doesn’t already exist - Copy your mod files into the
mods/
folder - Ensure you have also added the Quilt Standard Libraries, which you can find on Modrinth
Launch your installation, and the mods should be available immediately. If you run into any issues, please take a look at the troubleshooting page, or join us on Discord to ask for support!
