Setting Up DarkSmelting on a Multiplayer Server

Server-Side Operation

DarkSmelting supports server-side installation, which means it functions completely without requiring players to install the mod on their own game clients.

1. Install the mod file onto the server environment.

2. Start the server.

3. Have players connect using their standard Minecraft client. Players do not need to install the mod locally to melt down equipment; the custom recipes and outputs work seamlessly through the server.

Optimizing Community Resource Farms

Because DarkSmelting processes recipes server-side, it is particularly useful for multiplayer servers with shared community infrastructure:

• Mob Grinders: Connect hoppers from your server's public mob farms directly into furnace arrays to automatically melt dropped equipment into ingots.
• Dungeon Raid Chests: Establish community recycling stations near major dungeon sites where players can melt down unwanted armor and tools on the spot.

This setup keeps server storage clean and ensures all players benefit from loot reclamation without local configuration.
