What are Mods?

When you hear about mods for Minecraft, people are usually talking about addons that are based on the Forge or Fabric APIs. These usually add new items and blocks to the game making it so you have to have the mods installed on both client and server.

Which modding API do you want to use? That depends on the mods you want to use. Once you've researched the mods, they should tell you if they need Forge or Fabric. Then you can install the correct one on your server.
