Use the Mod on Multiplayer Servers
Understand Client-Side Operation
Sinuous Jointed Motion runs entirely on your client. This means:
- Only you see your smooth animations
- Other players see your character with their own mod settings (or vanilla if they don't have it)
- The mod never modifies server files or gameplay mechanics
- No server permission or whitelist approval needed
Join Any Server
You can play on vanilla servers, modded servers, or servers with animation restrictions. The mod won't cause conflicts because it only affects what you see locally.
See Other Players' Animations
If other players also have Sinuous Jointed Motion installed, you'll see their custom animations too. If they don't have the mod, you'll see them with default Minecraft animations.
Customize Per-Server
Your animation settings (press G) apply globally, but you can adjust them anytime. This lets you use different settings for different playstyles or servers without reinstalling or reconfiguring the mod.
