Setting Up DarkSpawn for Connecting Players

Server-Side Operation

DarkSpawn is designed to run entirely on the server side. This eliminates the need for connecting players to download or install any mod files on their personal game clients, making it ideal for public or community multiplayer servers.

To prepare the mod for your players:

1. Place the DarkSpawn mod file into your server's dedicated mods folder.

2. Start the server so the mod initializes properly.

3. Join the server using a standard vanilla client or any modded client profile.

4. Test the installation by typing /trigger darkspawn in the chat window.

Managing Player Access

Because the mod utilizes Minecraft's native trigger system, all joining players can access /trigger darkspawn without needing operator permissions. Connecting players simply join your server IP address without receiving mod mismatch errors or needing client updates. If you ever need to adjust where players appear, edit the world's datapack without requiring players to download new files or restart their own game clients.
