The installation of client-side mods requires a mod loader program like Curse Forge, Minecraft Mods, or Fabric. Consequently, your client-side mod will not function in multiplayer unless you also install the same on the server system. Client-Side ModsĬlient-side mods only make changes to a single system’s gameplay, which means that a mod you download to your system will only be visible to you. Minecraft features three forms of mods that differ mainly in their mode of operation, the sphere of influence, and the degree of change they bring to the base game.
