    About

    Forge Server Starter is a lightweight launcher that replaces traditional batch and shell scripts to install, configure, and start Forge or NeoForge Minecraft servers, including legacy Forge servers. It can guide installation through the console or install a selected loader automatically from a configuration file, while detecting installed versions and checking for required server libraries. The launcher forwards server output and commands through its console, and /restart gracefully restarts the server process without stopping the launcher. Optional loader updates, configurable Java and timezone settings, network-check controls, and file logging help tailor server startup and maintenance to different hosting environments. Before the first server start, it can display the Minecraft EULA and require the user to explicitly confirm acceptance.

    Written from CurseForge . How we write it

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    What it can do on your computer

    Uses folders outside the game
    It can read or write files outside your Minecraft folder, on the rest of your computer. Found: your user folder.
    Starts other programs
    It can start another program on your computer. It can start a Java program and run a command line.
    Connects to the internet
    It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. It contacts 2 web addresses. See Privacy

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · The latest file checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      1 latest file, for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
    • Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.
      Read without running it
    • Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.
      Updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.

    Privacy

    Sends system details

    Sent to api.hellbz.de and an address built while the game runs.

    We found this in its code, read without running it.

    Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.

    How we checked · Its one file read

    AI

    No sign that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and code history and found none.

    No sign of AI in the game

    We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
