Current DH Experimental Server Support
In the https://discord.com/channels/881614130614767666/1285883332768563284 thread, server compatibility for the nightly builds is mentioned in two places:
Important: Same version must be installed on both server and client to work correctly.
FAQ Will players with without the mod be able to connect to the server with DH? Yes, the mod is optional on both sides.As I understand it, the current implementation requires that both the server and the user have DH installed on their client, though the second seems to contradict that. Is this meant as what the implementation is planned to be? Or is allowing a user to not have it installed currently supported in the current nightly build?

if you want lods to automatically generate, it must be on both client and server. to use dh on a server, the client doesnt need to have it and vice versa
So I should theoretically be able to add DH (even the non-nightly versions) to a client and have it connect to a server, correct?
I've gotten this to work with a Vanilla server before, but a forge server that I'm currently running (1.16.5, Create Above and Beyond) has an FML incompatibility notice.
Either I can have the mod only on my client and it says my FML mod list doesn't match, or I can have the nightly version only on the server (without the nightly version on my client) and it says the server has mods which I do not have installed.
hmmm
The main thing I want to support is users who don't want to use DH, while still keeping it working for those who do.
i dont use FML but i would think there is a way to make it optional
That would be perfect if I could figure out how!
Any mod that adds any block, item or entity; or mods that offer network communication : Both server & client
i think this is just a forge loss
Yeah I 100% believe that.
i would recommend trying fabric out
I would like to, and I've used it in the past, the current plan was to play through "Create: Above and Beyond" which appears to only have a forge version, so we're version locked for this one.
Just for posterity, screenshots of both cases:
1) Normal or Nightly mod supplied on client but not on server
2) Nightly mod supplied on server but not on client.
If putting the nightly build on the server is making it so clients without DH can't join, that's a bug. And vise versa.
It should be very flexible, never stopping someone from joining, but DH will only properly work if both the server and client have it installed
That's why the two things you quoted are not contradicting them selfs
Mhm, that's why I wanted to make sure the issue wasn't just on my side.
Does it prevent you from connecting?
If it doesn't, I don't think there's much to be done
Having DH on client but not on server fails connection attempts, though having it on server and not on client does succeed, so it's at least managable now that I've tested both.
