- You can't install mods for different toolkits, meaning Forge mods can only be used with Forge and Fabric mods can only be used with Fabric.

Guide
Step 1: Download your desired mod from a site like CurseForge or Modrinth.
Make sure that the mod you download is in .jar format.
Step 2: Go to the Raw Power Panel and choose the server you want to add the mod to.
Step 3: If the mod is smaller than 100 MB, you can upload it straight through the panel. To do that, follow step 3A. Otherwise, follow step 3B.
Step 3A: On the Panel, go to File Management then open the folder called mods. On this page at the top you will see an orange button, "Upload". Click this button and select the mod jar you downloaded.
Step 3B (recommended): If your mod is larger than 100 MB, or you prefer to use SFTP, then follow our guide on how to use SFTP with your server here. Upload the mod jar you downloaded to the /mods folder.
Step 4: After your mod is uploaded, restart your server. Your mod should now be installed and active!
