👥 Multiplayer Functionality
Complex - VoidManager handles mods connectiveity to prevent mods not configured for VoidManager from joining vanilla games. If all mods are configured for VoidManager as Client mods, clients will be allowed to join vanilla games. This behaviour is to prevent mods which break vanilla clients from doing so.
