[1.8.9] What does worldObj.isRemote mean?

[DragonessAtHeart]

Hello everyone!

 

I've been able to figure out a few things in my modding adventure, but I still am having trouble understanding what this sort of check is for.

 

if (this.worldObj.isRemote) { ...

 

I see it in many places, but not in others, and I'm not sure if it has something to do with the client side vs the server side?

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks!
