Hosting Dark Rewards on a Multiplayer Server

Server-Side Functionality

Dark Rewards is designed to run entirely on the server side. This means that only the dedicated server or hosting world requires the mod to be present in its setup. Individual players joining your world do not need to install the mod on their own game clients.

Because no client-side installation is necessary, players running standard vanilla clients can join your multiplayer world and take full advantage of the reward mechanics without extra configuration.

Setting Up Multiplayer Play

To deploy the mod on a server environment:

1. Place the mod into your server's installation directory.

2. Start the server and invite other players to connect using their standard game clients.

3. Once online, each connected player's playtime is tracked individually, granting random rewards straight into their respective inventories every 30 minutes.

4. Every player will see individual chat notifications when their own rewards arrive, delivering helpful items, food, or rare materials without causing client-server compatibility issues.
