Poll: Plugin Based Server or Mod Based Server
Hi, quick questions for players, what do you prefer, Plugin Based Server (PBS) or Mod Based Server (MBS)?
Note: MBS require custom launcher or custom configuration, PBS just require Minecraft launcher or any other launcher.
MBS are much more customisable check #UI for more infos
PBS don't require any special config, just know the IP and connect yourself.
If u can say MBS / PBS is good but if you can explain why, that's even better !

mbs is a mess to manage, and public servers are just not gonna go great
unless u have alot of previous experience and mod developing experience
So, what do you think is the best ?
Public server = PBS ?
plugin
Ha, didnt realize it was you:moderator:
MBS are much more customisable check #UI for more infosWhile not 100% the same, most of those custom UIs you mentioned can be made with plugins (and no client side modifications) @LeSuisse But to answer your question, you should use plugins Much less messy both to manage and internally also, they're less hassle for the players A server that you can just click play and start playing will get exponentially players than one that you have to go out of your way to download and install a custom modpack for
Please tell me how, in #UI or by mp but please let me know
That's what i thought
Using a plugin like Oraxen or ItemsAdder, you can achieve custom GUIs
Pair that with a plugin like HappyHud you can get a custom in-game UI (i.e. custom hunger bar, etc)
Thx
Do u know where can i found help for that ?
@Livor Mortis
Pls
In their respective communities
okay
thx and sorry for the ping
Does free plugin exist ?
You can build either of them for free iirc, but they don't provide support unless you pay.
only oraxen
itemsadder is closed source
iirc = ?
iirc = if i remember correctly
i dont think closed source is really a good choice... no ?
if they stop maintain i can directly go to trash
they have maintained it for like 6 years
or smth
(not really 6 years but not sure the length)
Oh, I thought there was a Jenkins link or something for IA
nop
:boxNoted:
For plugins like that that've been around forever, it doesnt matter
It isnt really reasonable to expect everything in your server to be open source
For plugins in general- support for them can stop at the drop of a hat.
OSS or otherwise.
Unless you make it yourself, you can't guarantee it'll get support forever.
Do you know if someone already made it ? happyhud with clickable buttons, and with oraxen ?
And if he make it what's the result or if he have made a wiki / tutorial '
?
i search it for hours and found nothing
happyhud doesnt make clickable buttons
uh
so what kotlin enthusiat was thinking ?
well as i said u cant get exactly what u showed
(custom) Clickable guis aren't done with happyhud
They're done with oraxen/IA
^^
@LeSuisse but they are possible
not everything
and how can thinks be clickabe ther than in a "chest-like" GUI
if he wants everything on em to be interactive
? dont undestand your last sentence
The button positions would be confined to what is possible in a chest, but the layout, textures, and GUI of the custom guis can all be replicated
^^
oh well, i see
and clickable button outside the chest frame isnt possible ?
no.
which is what i meant with u cant get it exactly the same
oh
now i see the real problem
and bigger chest like diamond chest (a mod) cant be made ?
no
Not without pagination
^
which still doesnt let u do waht u want
uh
plugins are good but limited 😦
i cant make what i wantr
well u wouldnt be able to do this with server-side only mods
anyways
The only thing they can't (really) do is client side modifications
Those are limited to what's possible with resource packs
yes, sadly
can i still put composant outside the box of, like money amount etc...
composant?
yes afaik but iirc they will be darker when u open the chest
item
sorry, it's late at home
Well, no
it's 1:33 AM at home
You can put any data that needs to be displayed into the chest title
And move it with control characters
Then have the frame for it provide a background outside of the normal chest window
okay
thx
and the max height of clickable component is ?
8 ?
^^^
okay
The actual buttons are confined to whats possible in a vanilla chest
double chest is okay too ?
But the textures can be whatever you want
Ye
thx
i have fully understood now
thanks boys
