Now, how about custom mods for Aternos server? From the information that we get, it seems that to add mods, you have to install CurseForge. In the Aternos Twitter account, they announced on August 17th, 2018 that now you are able to install multiple mods on your server. You can install Forge, choose some mods and enjoy your custom modded server. In addition, in the Aternos Forum, Matthias the developer states that now they have released an entirely new modding experience on Aternos. Furthermore, he also states that it is very important for us to keep the system and you secure which is the reason why they cannot permit you to upload your own mods. Now, it is possible to install mods from CurseForge directly on your server just like plugins and customize these mods by modifying the config.
There are some notes about this update and here they are.
- The old plugin URLs (/plugins/p/<name>) do not work anymore.
- In case you have installed a mod in the old system, you are able to keep this single mod installed for some time. However, Aternos team will probably remove these versions in the future.
- You are not able to customise modpacks. It is mainly because of how the system of Aternos works and a bit also because the Aternos team wants to ensure that these modpacks are stable and working. You might be allowed this in the future.
- You are able to request mods on Aternos forums just like plugins, but Aternos team cannot add mods that are not on CurseForge.
- Modding is complicated and it can fail in a lot of ways. The Aternos team cannot really help you with that.
- Remember that you (and every other player) also have to install all mods on your computer.
