Is it safe to remove mods from a server? What do I need to look out for?
I run a very small (8 ppl max) modded server for me and my friends. Some of the mods aren't playing nice with each other so I would like to remove them, but I'm very new at this and I don't want to risk corrupting the world in some way. They would be a mod that adds mobs to the game, (ars fauna) and one that adds a backpack (backpacked) (which may have been added to loot tables? IDK)
I downloaded my server file and tested the removal locally and it seems to be running ok so far. Is there anything I should be worrying about, testing, or looking out for? Or anything I should do to prepare the server (besides telling my friends to empty their backpacks lol) And is there any resources on this topic so I can build a better understanding of it? Ideally I want to learn how to figure these things out for myself but I don't know where to start.
Sorry if people have asked this before. I tried searching and I don't know how to find the information I'm looking for. The server is 1.20.1 and running Forge, if it makes a difference. Thank you so much! :)

Best backpack mod available for you is sophisticated backpacks. It's really peak
The worst thing that can happen when removing a mod is whole modded biomes disappearing
Idk if ars fauna had biomes but if it has then you'll find weird dirt paths probably lol
But yeah nothing risky should happen
Or the world gen algorithm changing so there's a chunk cut on new created chunks
If you have cardinal components (it's a lib often bundled in mods so you could probably have it even if u didn't install it) you'll have log spam, something about deserialized contents. If log spam from cardinal components happens, go to that mod config and disable something that talks about log spam
Thank you for your response! I appreciate it.
