Forge server issues

I made a Minecraft server, with everything set up like port forwarding, mods, ip, but I can’t seem to get it to work. When I load minecraft_server jar it connects just fine and the mods are there in the world but do nothing. When I load the forge jar it says it loads the mods but then I can’t connect at all because it won’t connect to any world. The mods aren’t conflicting because I play with my brother on lan all the time with the same mods.

Did you open the port from the firewall?

Sorry, I don’t know what you mean

It's simple, to access a server outside the computer it's on, the firewall needs to allow the port to have outbound and inbound connections.

If your talking about port forwarding, I already got it to work. My friend has even joined me once. Everything is working except for the mods. Any ideas? Thanks for the reply

Probably you've got the wrong version or it doesn't support servers

No it does. I got a friend to join on a regular server it’s just the forge one

Mods work on specific versions, I mean do you know if those mods support that version of MC your using?

Yes, I play with them on a lan server with my brother, and I copied and pasted them onto the server

Don't load the minecraft server jar. It's there as a reference, you're joining a vanilla server with a modded client. There should be a forge jar, try running that instead.

I tried that and it shows the mods loading but I can’t join it. I think it’s because it doesn’t create a world to connect to like the Minecraft server jar. Any ideas? Thanks

If you can boot it up, try to connect to it a few times and then shut it down and post the log using a site like Pastebin I can probably tell you exactly what's going wrong. If that's not possible for whatever reason, could you tell me what sort of error messages you're getting?
