Zeina's Essentials (Hosting)

A modpack with the goal of separating multiplayer and hosting mods apart to allow for a cleaner experience on both ends, including mods that benefit the hosts or require the host to have them installed to function.

This is one of three Essentials modpacks that I made, the other two focusing on singleplayer and multiplayer, they'll be linked at the bottom!

List of mods

Host Mods

Mods that improve the hosting capabilities and safety of lobbies, all of them are fully server-sided.

Host Moderation: Enhances the moderation of your lobby and allows you to assign operators via commands
Auto Moderation: Adds automod like Discord. Configuration: com.s0apy.cfg
Hard Anti-Cheat: Adds a highly configurable anti-cheat. Configuration: com.HardAntiCheat.sftwre.cfg (in public testing)
Perfect Guard: Patches some vulnerabilities in the game's multiplayer systems
ASCII Character Protector: Limits messages and names to 32-126 ASCII characters to prevent crashes and error spam
- This is for English-speaking servers, you may wanna disable this if your server uses characters outside of the 126 ASCII table
Party Up: Allows for 100 player lobbies and parties, the host having it means everyone gets uncapped parties
Server Extras: Bonus mod that adds latency analytics like ping when using the "Who" tab in multiplayer. Currently not usable by the host

Depends on host

Optional mods that benefit from the host having them installed to fully function.

Homebrewery: Core mod with some functionality requiring the host to have the mods installed. Configuration: Homebrewery.cfg
- Semi-suggest getting EverythingBrewery (performance concerns) or finding packs here
- If you don't want custom weapon stats, you can turn on NoWeaponStats in configurations
- Read the User Manual for help
Chat Extras: Vastly improves the game chat, client & host need the mod installed for 500 character messages. Configuration: EasySettings
Chat Colors: Allows players to customise the colour of their messages, the host having it means everyone can use it
DPS UI: Measures DPS and tracks time for dungeons and bosses with party support, host needs the mod installed. Configuration: EasySettings

Bonus excluded mods

These are mods that I chose/had to exclude for one reason or another, but are still great and cool mods you might be interested in.

Dedicated Server: Allows for headless lobby hosting, not included in the modpack as it does nothing without configuration
Map Loader: Custom maps loader, both client and host need the maps installed to work
- Semi-suggest EverythingMaps (performance concerns) or finding custom maps here
Prop Placer: Allows players to place custom props with chat commands, both client and host need it installed. Configuration: firenoobsta.propplacer.cfg (these only apply to players on your server as the host)
- As of writing, only Starlight Magistics Academy Props adds more props

Dependency mods

These are mods that other mods rely on to function, and don't need to be tampered with as a result.

BepInExPack: Unity mod loader that basically all mods are using. Configuration: BepInEx.cfg (pre-configured already)
Easy Settings: Adds a 5th tab to the settings for configuring some mods easily
GLTF: Optional dependency of Homebrewery for custom 3D mesh support
Code Yapper: Forked version of a networking library that a bunch of mods use for multiplayer syncing
SQLite 4 BepInEx: Used by ChatColors to contain save data
