Server mods for minecraft software#

A Minecraft Client is the Minecraft software which is installed onto your computer.

A plugin can only be installed on your server.Д«efore we go into more detail, let's first understand the relationship between a Minecraft Client and a Minecraft Server: Minecraft plugins add extra functionality into the game, such as the ability to set warps or homes.

Server mods for minecraft mod#

A mod needs to be installed on your computer and your server. Minecraft mods change the fundamental game, such as adding an entirely new animal or in-game item. If you don't fancy reading too much, here's a summary in just a few words. you're not the only one who is unsure (that's exactly why we've written this article!). That is needed to avoid conflicts between versions, even with vanilla ones! Also more RAM is needed to load all parts of the game.When getting into Minecraft modding, you first need to understand the difference between a Minecraft Mod and a Minecraft Plugin. For 1.7.10 and lower versions you are not able to join Forge server without Forge installed in client, even if there are no mods.ДЄlso be sure that if you use classic minecraft launcher, to use standalone profiles, that are setupped with custom directory in profile editor. If you have version 1.8+ and your server has only servers-only mods, even pure vanilla clients can join (you can take advantage of this!). For example AE2 mod offers settings to disable items, then if you disabled item and join server that has it, it won't let you in. You should also consider to sync whole config folder to clients, because various settings can reject clients from joining the server. Every mod should have such an info on their project site. Some mods have different version for server and client, for example JourneyMap or ForgeEssentials, then you should have the corresponding ones on both sides, however those are normally optional on both sides.

Clients will also be forced to use the config file you specify on your server.

Server mods for minecraft install#

If you install this mod on a server all clients will have to have Hardcore Darkness installed.

For example HardcoreDarkness mod is optional on server, but if it is there, it is a must for joining clients: (those can even stop server from functioning if you try to put them there)Д«e aware that there are some mods that allow server-configuration for purely cosmetic/graphic mods, those have to go both on server and client, if you want to sync settings (respectively you want to force server settings to people playing on server).

Optifine, minimaps, shaders, texture packs.

mods that change the client's way of rendering, but don't add anything into game : typically only client.

Typically functions similar to 'bukkit plugins', for example ForgeEssentials, or Morpheus (modifies only the number of people need sleeping to get a day), or DiscordChat etc.

mods that add some server feature : typically only server.

NEI/JEI needs to be also on server, if you want to have weather/time buttons working, etc.

sever needs to know what you are holding and client needs to know it either, so it can show it for you.

Any mod that adds any block, item or entity or mods that offer network communication : Both server & client.

Rules for what mod has to be in client/server or both:

The version of mod has to be same on server as in client, if they are on both sides.

Clients need vast majority of mods the server has.
