Zeina's Essentials (Hosting)

A bundle 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, configuration for this pack is only really needed for self-imposed moderation purposes.

This is one of three Essentials bundles that I made, the other two focusing on singleplayer and multiplayer, they'll be linked at the bottom!
Maintaining these bundles takes a lot of time and effort with info that goes nowhere, as such, I also maintain a Bug Tracker for modded ATLYSS.
If you need to contact me, you can use the ATLYSS Modding Central Discord server or my thread in there. I prefer pings over DMs, thanks.

List of Mods

Host mods

Mods for hosts that improve their hosting capabilities and the safety of lobbies.

Host Moderation: Enhances the moderation capabilities of your lobby and allows you to assign operators via commands.

Dedicated Server (Opt-in): Allows for headless lobby hosting, not included in the bundle as it does nothing without configuration.

Server-Sided mods

Mods that are either dependant on the host having them for full functionality or become server-sided for the clients benefit.

Homebrewery: Core mod with some functionality requiring the host to have the mods installed. (Configuration: Homebrewery.cfg) [User Manual]
- Semi-suggest getting EverythingBrewery (performance concerns) or finding packs here.
- If you don't want custom item stats, you can turn on NoEquipStats & NoWeaponStats in configurations.
Beyond Limits Patcher (Opt-in): Patcher for ButteredLilly's Beyond Limits, especially suggested if you want to hose with the mod.
Chat Colors: Allows players to customise the colour of their messages.
- Dice And Color: Allows players to use RNG commands for rolling dice and switching colour. Same as ChatColors but legitimacy is server-sided.
Chat Extras: Vastly improves the game chat, both client & host need the mod installed for 500 character messages. (Configuration: EasySettings)
Toolbar Tweaks: Enemy HP displays are both client and server-sided. (Configuration: EasySettings)
