Trouble even figuring out how to download the mod at all

I'm not really a github aficionado, I can't seem to find the .jar mod file anywhere? I have found the DH .zip, but it unzips to a folder, not a .jar. Sorry for such a basic question!

do you see a "merged" folder in the zip? the jar should be in there

Did I download the right .zip? I don't see merged, it's also not in the 'fabric' folder
Puhpine
Puhpine•3d ago

normally i would point you to the nightly builds from #links-n-downloads , but those links are broken atm. what mc version are you trying to get?

1.21.4!

Yeah! I'm sure you've thought of this already, but making a little tutorial on how to find the right file in the absence of those links might be a good idea for ultra noobs like myself

"normal" people arent really meant to use nightly builds its an in-dev version and may break this one probably wont though, its pretty stable atm

GirlpilledOP•3d ago
I see. I guess there isn't a 1.21.4 that is stable though? oh, ok!
Puhpine
Puhpine•3d ago
in fact, the current nightly will release as a stable release on the 12th

Now I'll try and get it to work on my own

feel free to ask again if you have more troubles

Ah—I actually do have a question Do I need to install a server-side version for it to work on multiplayer, or can the client-side version work for just me?
Puhpine
Puhpine•3d ago
you can have it only on the client, but then distant generation wont work so youll need to explore everywhere to get a decent render distance
Girlpilled
GirlpilledOP•3d ago
Yeah, I figured! It's not working 😭 even for chunks I've already rendered but let me go through the FAQ again first
Puhpine
Puhpine•3d ago
alright

Okay, it says to remove all other mods, so I'll try that... But it also says to use the vanilla minecraft launcher. I'm using the modrinth launcher—would that prevent it from working? If so, I'll switch over
Puhpine

no the modrinth launcher should work fine its more about the minecraft clients that add their own mods like feather or lunar those can cause problems

One more reason to change the wording in the FAQ

I believe it's working now! Just gonna mess around with the settings to try and get it to run at a smooth FPS Thank you for your help!

Is there a different version for the server-side mod? Or is it simply you drag the mod file to your server mods file
Puhpine
Puhpine•3d ago
the latter and then you should see "server has full DH support" in the f3 menu
Girlpilled
GirlpilledOP•3d ago
Fantastic, I do Do you recommend a certain amount of server RAM to be able to run it?
Puhpine
Puhpine•3d ago
around 8 would be ideal
Girlpilled
GirlpilledOP•3d ago
Ah, ok!
