Can I manually update mods on my server?

[krasoft]

Hello, I'm running a private server, and was interested to know if it's possible to manually update mods for the server and client without breaking everything?

I tried updating Forestry as a test since it was giving me warnings, and the server would no longer start. Lots of errors.

Is there a procedure to go through in order to make the updated mod work with the other mods? I don't mind fixing item ID conflicts manually, but there's probably more to it than that if I'm getting such crazy errors.

It's better to just wait until the entire pack is updated, to be honest. Makes it easier for the users, as well.

One thing you need to check before starting (noobie mistake, but I managed to get caught in it today) is that the old version of the mod you updated isn't still in the mods folder. Doing that causes a crash almost instantly.
