Change\u00a0eula=false<\/code>\u00a0to\u00a0eula=true<\/code>, hit “ctrl + x” and “y” to save your changes.<\/p>\n

Let’s add Sponge now by entering its directory:<\/p>\n

cd mods\/ && wget http:\/\/files.minecraftforge.net\/maven\/org\/spongepowered\/spongeforge\/1.8-1577-3.1.0-BETA-1045\/spongeforge-1.8-1577-3.1.0-BETA-1045.jar\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Step 5: Setting up a startup script for Sponge + Forge<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Now that we have a functioning server, all we need to do is create a startup script for the server.<\/p>\n
Go back to your home directory:<\/p>\n
cd ~\/minecraftserver\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Open up your text editor by executing\u00a0nano start.sh<\/code>\u00a0and paste the following:<\/p>\n
#!\/bin\/bash\r\nmemory=\"512\"\r\njava -Xmx\"$memory\"M -jar forge-1.8.9-11.15.1.1902-1.8.9-universal.jar\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Remember to change the value\u00a0512<\/code>\u00a0into the amount of memory you want to allocate to the server (in megabytes). For any Aklweb host instance, it is recommended that you leave some memory (~128MB) for the system to run properly as you run the server.<\/p>\n
Hit “ctrl + x” and then hit “y” to save. Now, set the permissions on the file to allow execution:\u00a0chmod 755 start.sh<\/code><\/p>\n
Good job, you’ve installed a Forge + Sponge server. All that’s left is to run the server.<\/p>\n
Starting the server<\/strong><\/h2>\n
As we want the server to persist when we close our terminal, we need to open up a virtual screen:<\/p>\n
screen\r\n.\/start.sh\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
You’ll be able to view the console, and it’ll stay up even if you close your terminal\/console.<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n
In this article, you learned how to install Sponge and Forge to allow for server plug-ins and mods.
