Can a Mod be different on client side and on server side ?

[Nxs0000]

Hi everyone,

 

I recently started to code a mod and now I'm starting the part consisting in creating the dialog between the server and the client.

But I was wondering if a mod could be different on the Client and on the Server. Let's imagine that all the dialog between those two should be correct since they register the same channels and the same type data that go through. Would the rest of the mod cause any trouble because it is different? Like, when the player try to log on a the server, will this player be able to do so ?

 

I ask because I know that the list of mod of the server is compared with the client's when this last one attempt to log in.

 

thanks in advance for your help

Technically, most mods are different client-to-server because of rendering code and other client-side-only code

One of my mods (alt paintings) has a bunch of relatively large images that no physical server would ever need. After debugging, I compile it twice, the 2nd after deleting all assets. I give it a different file name and load it onto my server without a hitch.

 

Just don't create sync problems that will jumble reality (like boats did before 1.9)

Haha, boats.

 

Wasn't that long ago that I was fooling around in my own mod (1.7.10, dedicated server that was the same machine as my client) and the server's location for me was so far out of synch that the chunk directly under me go unloaded.
