if you install mods to a server, YOU AND OTHER PLAYERS will need to install the same mods LOCALLY on their own machines.

but it sounds more like the former rather than the latter....

to answer your topics question....if you join a DIFFERENT server (other than your own), YOUR client side mods will most likely STILL WORK, but only for YOU. no one will be the wiser unless you make it known.

i suppose its closer to the former? As i understand it there are 3 ways to play:

1. singleplayer on your own machine
2. multiplayer on a p2p connection via a locally hosted server on your machine
3. multiplayer via a dedicated server hosted on your own machine or otherwise

im playing the 2nd way, where i just click "start server" and enter a password and my friends join my server, but it isn't an official dedicated server. so long as my friends and i have mods installed that should be that right? no need to add the mods ot any server files anywhere or that I must use a dedicated server for everyone to experience the same mods?
