I made my own little server to play on with friends. My friends and I can play, but we can't use mods. All of us have all of the mods installed to our .Minecraft folders. I downloaded the Forge and installed it as a server to my server folder. I put all of the mods into the mod folder within my server folder, but nothing is happening. I'm launching the game from a .bat file. Why aren't the mods working? How do I fix this
No offence, but I see this all the time, everywhere, people asking for help yet provide very minimal information if any at all...
Might actually help if you told us what mods you're using, any log files when you start the server,
Have you installed forge correctly to the server, have you installed forge to your clients correctly, have you made sure the mods are supported by the game and forge versions you're using, certain mods don't play well together and can cause issues.
Also make sure the bat file is loading the forge version of the server and not the vanilla version...
Without further information, nobody will be able to help you short of remotely accessing your systems and checking it out for themselves (which I don't recommend because you don't know who you can trust these days).
- Yes, I believe I installed Forge correctly, although I've never installed forge to a server before. I clicked on the "server installation" instead of the normal "client installation" and installed it to my server folder
- Yes, I know that the mods work on forge because they're all of the mods that I've been using on my SinglePlayer worlds for the past month. And every player on the server is using the same 1.12.2 version of forge with all of the same, updated mods.
- The .bat is only running the line that is on the official Minecraft site (java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.1.12.2.jar nogui). How do I run it on forge instead of vanilla?
"java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.1.12.2.jar nogui" - this will run the server in vanilla mode
There should be another jar somewhere in your server folder with the word 'forge' in it (example: forge-1.7.10-10.13.4.1614-1.7.10-universal.jar), you need to use that jar name instead of 'minecraft_server.1.12.2.jar'.

That worked. Thank you so much!
No problem, glad I could help. It's an easy mistake to make
