Need detailed help with installing mod/"modlets?"on my server on Nodecraft.

[Unrejected]

I did some searching around and couldnt find any detailed instructions on how to apply mods to my server. The server I have is on the Nodecraft site, so im not sure if that is a dedicated server or whatever? 
If anyone could help me figure this out i would greatly appreciate it. I put a Mods folder on the server root and set it up just like you would on client side but it is not working. I am not sure what to do. Sorry if this is a noob question , very new to this. I appreciate the time and anyone who is willing to help me !

If you see a file serverconfig.xml and a directory 7DaysToDieServer_Data in your root then you are at the correct place. Make sure the directory is called "Mods".

 

If you installed a mod called "MoreRecipes", you should see a path Mods\MoreRecipes, not for example Mods\Mods\MoreRecipes.

 

Look into the logfile which you can find in 7DaysToDieServer_Data and search for all lines with [MODS] in it.

A game without mods has only a single line with something like this:

 

"2021-01-03T20:55:03 0.929 INF [MODS] No mods folder found"

 

You should see a lot more lines. If you want more help, post this output_log, this is explained in one of the sticky threads in this forum section

Is there certain mods that are only "server side" or "client side" ? and how would i know the diff between?

.xml mods work the same on the client or server.

Your log file will tell you if the mod loaded.

Most mods are server side (i,e, they need to be installed on the server), many are also client side. Xml and Localization files are automatically transfered to the client and work without client install.

I assume that a pure UI mod could work without being installed on the server, but I don't know, I don't use UI mods.
