Client side Quality of life mods?

[DeadAimBow]

So ive bought a server to host the game for some friends and am looking for some quality of life mods i can use for myself that wont need to be implemented on the server side. My friends im sure wouldnt be keen on playing on the server if they needed to add mods to join it so im wondering if anyone else has a list like this i can use. Ive already got a few that change up the UI and minimap and even one that plants crops in a grid that i wasn't sure would even work but does.

Not sure, but a lot of client side mods might cause issues when implemented on a server where the other clients don't have the mod active.
You will have to read the documentation carefully on each mod, to make sure they will work in a server environment.
From my experience, most client side only mods are built for single player (local worlds) only.

Using Thunderstore app, it is pretty easy to send a list (code) to other players over like Discord that they can type in their app that will populate their mod list. When you make changes to the mod list, you just send a new code to them and it will get everyone on the same list.
Works great for keeping mods updated on your server.
But of course, if you want to keep an advantage as the server admin, then keep them to yourself lol.

my "must have, don't play without" QoL mods are;

Triple Bronze; 2 Copper + 1 Tin = 3 Bronze, also adds some single ingot smelting options for other ores to the Forge so a full smelter/furnace isn't needed if you just need one ingot.

Minmap Discover Radius. increases the area of the map around the player that gets revealed as you explore.

Mute on Minimize. mutes games audio when the game's window is not focus. Great for when you need to tab out of the game for a Zoom call or watch Youtube while waiting on a batch of ores to proccess

Extended Player Inventory, adds dedicated armor slots plus three 'belt' slots for arrow/potions/foods/anything

Display Date time in HUD, shows you in game day and time, so you know when to head for bed

Real Clock, in game display of real world time.

While not considered essential I also find these to be useful

Blast Furnace takes all, because a blast furnace is just a smelter with a blower.

Compass. easier than always looking at the tiny arrow in the minmap

Nexus update check, checks for updates of installed mods at start up.

haven't played on a server in awhile but when I did none of the above mods caused any issues with the game or other players. Though I did end up getting saddled with crafting all the bronze for everyone else.

Hope you will find some of these useful

Good Hunting o7

I feel like these Extended inventory mods wouldn't work on a server. As it would give you more inventory space than everyone else. Is that accurate?
