Optimus_Hawk Posted May 5 Report Posted May 5 I have a general question regarding the mod "side" to better understand which mods will work on the Vintage Story Server that I am playing on. I play on a server hosted by Vintage Story. I understand that the VS Server does not support mods, but I have found that mods tagged as "Client side mod" will work when I am logged into my VS Server, but the "Both" and "Server side mods" do not. Is it a correct understanding that when a mod is tagged as "Both", it is required on both the client and server side to run? For example: Zoom Button - Reborn is a "Client" mod and that works on my VS Server Bigger Pockets is a "Both" mod and does not work on my VS Server. Thanks in advance for your help!!
Solution Rainbow Fresh Posted May 5 Solution Report Posted May 5 The mod side does not define the "supported" side, but the "required" one. A mod with mod side "client" work only on the client, and can therefor be installed on a client even if the server does not have it. A mod with side "both" is required on both server AND client to work. Meanwhile, a mod with side "server" only needs to be installed on the server and can hence change the game even if players do not have any mods.
Optimus_Hawk Posted May 5 Author Report Posted May 5 Thanks for the explanation. That aligns with what I am experiencing.
