Minecraft – How to get mods to the Minecraft server

minecraft-java-editionminecraft-java-edition-serverminecraft-mods

I've downloaded a free Minecraft server from https://minecraft.net/en-us/download/server and it works! I can play on the server. But even if I start up Minecraft with Forge, the mods won't work.

For example, I have WorldEdit. When I type in //wand it says Unknown command. And when I place down furniture, they pop up for a second and then disappear.
Is there any way to get mods in to your own Minecraft server?

Client-Side Forge and Server-Side forge are two different things; Client side is only on your computer, while server-side is on a server, and requires everyone to have the mods to join. If you would like to setup a forge server, install the server side version from the official website.
