Setting Up SWEM Horse Replacement on a Multiplayer Server

Placing the Pack in Your Server Save

To maintain a complete SWEM horse experience for everyone on a multiplayer server running both DragN’s Livestock Overhaul and SWEM, place the pack directly into your server's active world folder rather than on individual player clients:

1. Access your server files and open your active world directory (named world by default, or whatever level-name is set to in server.properties).

2. Open the datapacks subfolder inside that world directory and add the data pack.

3. Restart the server, or run /reload from the server console or an operator account in game.

Server Permissions and Operation

Unlike manual conversion contraptions, this data pack requires no physical command blocks in your spawn chunks and no complex redstone systems. You do not even need command blocks enabled in server.properties for the background loop to work. Once loaded, the server checks every tick in the background, automatically detecting wild or newly spawned DragN’s Livestock Overhaul horses around any online player and spawning SWEM equivalents in the exact same spot.
