About this Mod

Methane Server Utilities

Tools to help manage Methane on clients.

A mod that allows server admins to override settings for Methane on the client, either by suggesting changes, or forcefully switching them when playing on the server. Clients without Methane can join as well, but this requires forceMethane to be false (false by default).

all configuration is stored as individual gamerules, so anyone with operator can change them.

This is useful for servers/modpacks that may want to set default rules for players with Methane, due to the controversial nature of full-bright. Fog settings will only be changed if the user allows for this to happen in their config. Methane features that do not alter gameplay significantly, but do break Vanilla parity on some level will still be in effect on the client.

Gamerules: (with default values)

enforceMethaneState: true // force a Methane state, and deny players the ability to use their own
defaultMethaneState: true // the state forced/given to players on joining
forceMethane: false // kick the player if they do not have Methane or their client wont respond.

Functionality has been fully integrated for Methane 2.2+.

This is NOT a server moderation tool. Anyone can easily make their own fork of Methane to circumvent this if they have any knowledge of programming. I will not implement any anti-bypass methods, purely because it would be difficult to keep fixing.
