Server-side or Client-side #74

Hello, The mod can be installed only on server-side?

Wicked1667 commented 8 months ago

No client also. Server won't let you join unless client has it too

DuckyCrayfish commented 8 months ago

@Wicked1667 Are you certain about this? I'm not sure this is true. I believe that for a client who does not have Hourglass installed, the server will display a red X in the client server lists (a fix for this is pending release), but they are still able to join.

I know that one down-side is that the movement of the sky will not be smooth without the client installed, but I don't think there is anything game-breaking about the experience.

Let me know if I'm wrong about any of this, my memory is fading from the last time I tested this situation.

I am closing this issue but we can continue to discuss.

Wicked1667 commented 8 months ago

Yes I installed it server side then when myself and my 3 friends tried joining it gave us mod missing errors and we had to download it to join

DuckyCrayfish commented 8 months ago

Interesting, I wonder if this is version dependent. Do you know which version you were using? I'm going to try this when I get home.

Wicked1667 commented 8 months ago

1.20-1.2.1.1 I added it to the CurseForge modpack "ATM9"

DuckyCrayfish commented 8 months ago

It seems you are correct, thanks for the clarification @Wicked1667!

I must have been getting it confused with my upcoming release, which currently does support server-side-only installations. I still need to take care of that red X tho lol
