Simple Mod Sync SMS Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I connect to my friend's sync group?
Open the mod menu, select your sync settings, and enter the sync source or connection code your friend provides. The mod will then automatically download all files from that group the next time you load the game.
Do I need to restart my game every time files sync?
Yes, the mod will prompt you to restart whenever new files are installed or updated. This ensures all content loads correctly into your game.
What happens if I'm missing a file that my sync group has?
The mod automatically detects missing files and downloads them in the background when you connect to your sync source. You'll see the download progress on screen and be prompted to restart once complete.
Can I choose which files to sync or skip certain mods?
Yes, open the mod menu to view all synchronized files and their status. You can manage your file preferences in the sync settings to exclude specific content if needed.
Does this mod work on servers or only with friends?
The mod works with both friend groups and community servers. You can connect to any sync source set up by a friend or server administrator.
Why aren't my files syncing even though I'm connected?
Check the overview menu to see which files show as out of date or missing, and verify your sync connection is active in settings. If files still won't download, try restarting your game and reconnecting to the sync source.
Will syncing slow down my game or cause lag?
File downloads happen in the background and shouldn't impact gameplay. The mod only applies new content after you restart, so performance during play remains unaffected.
What file types can this mod sync?
The mod syncs mods, resource packs, shaders, and other game files. Any content your sync group has can be automatically distributed to all members.
Can I sync with multiple groups at once?
You can manage multiple sync connections in your settings, though you should verify with your groups whether syncing from multiple sources could cause conflicts between files.
What do I do if a synced file is corrupted or won't load?
Check the file status in the overview menu to identify the problem file. You can try removing it from your sync preferences and re-downloading it, or contact your sync group administrator for a fresh copy.
