I wanted to know about mod loading! I'm going to reference an obvious parallel here in modded Minecraft!
In Minecraft, you can have client-side mods and connect to any server no issue, as after all they are client side!
And obviously is a sever has mods, you need them as well to connect, but having extra mods doesn't stop you!
My question then is, using the client side mod Critcher's Calculator! If I download and have the mod running, but then open the game to internet directly, rather than using a server. Will this force other players to install the mod? or have it installed? As we have a large group save where some of us are playing very hardcore and some aren't! As such no gameplay changing mods, but I the host want to snag a few tools because I enjoy them! I'm just worried that if I install them client side, and then we play, till force them to have the mods and I don't want to upset people trying to play vanilla.
