Problem Adding/Removing Forge Server Mods

[roofeeo]

I recently just bought a dedicated server for a couple friends of mine to play on.

Mindcrack (Feed the Beast) was installed on the server.

My questions are:

How do I know if I'm using Bukkit or Forge for mods?​

​

What are some mods I should remove due to lag issues?​

​

Where do I get mods for Forge (Bukkit has it's own website with tons of mods)?​

​

Is there a way to simply allow my friends to use a /home /sethome without a mod?​

first of all. Bukkit is plugins and forge is mods.

General explanation:
Plugin is server side only and doesn't add content, just commands..etc
Mods are server and client side. They add new content to minecraft.

Mindcrack is a nicely balanced mod pack. No need to remove anything really.

That been said, i didn't like have portal gun on my server. Generally have a thing about players tp'ing on the server, its not a gameplay mechanic, found there was usually a lag spike when people used the portals. Thats just me.

No way to set home, this is not a vanilla minecraft mechanic, its a bukkit thing. Recommend forgeEssentials for this.

Mods can be found on the minecraft forum in the mods sections.

Really, my advise is get reading yourself. Answers are out there in multiple locations. Just use Google.
