Okay before you leave after reading just two sentences, just hear me out. I was wondering if it is possible to make a SMP mod of any kind particularly with new ores or items and make it work in a server, I am tired of all these mods I wish I could have, but they only work in SSP unless the server admin applies it. I am not fond of single player, It's boring, there is no purpose. Your creativity doesn't go far. The only real reason to keep playing is for others entertainment, like on youtube let's plays. So I was just wondering, is it possible to make a mod that adds tools or ores or something, but the server admin doesn't have to install it? Thanks.

I don't believe it is because the server has to recognize it as an item.

It is most certainly possible :smile.gif:
Look at IndustrialCraft, for example. I have been playing on a relatively new server (found here: pandora-mc.enjin.com) that uses IndustrialCraft, BuildCraft, Minecraft Forge, Redpower and more and we have Copper, Tin and Uranium in our map :smile.gif:

You aren't understanding what I am asking, I want to use mods without the server admin having to install them.

Erm no cheating is generally discouraged. I dunno about nowadays with all the fancy new servers but it used to be quite possible even easy to do, as simple as playing an unmodded server with a modded client, but either client or server or both would tend to crash horrendously whenever the client side said something was happening that the server side didn't know was possible. I imagine nowadays most servers and inventory checks and all that have a lot of functionality built in specifically to stop this sort of thing (for instance like ppl who used to use flying carpet mod on servers w/o as an easy flying cheat).
If you've got some little junky computer sitting around you'd probably be best just starting your own small server if all you really want to do is play some combo of mods that isn't available in any server you can find online. Don't try to make it gigantic or anything, but from what I've read its quite possible to run a small server on linux (mineos for instance) on even a low end laptop if you have everything setup right (all the usual mc fixes, your drivers and java and all that good stuff up to date, memory allocation set, etc etc).
There are some non cheat things that will work like minimappers and such, tho i get the impression that on some servers they're discouraged, but things like new ores or items are liable to crash the game as soon as you try to use them (and ofc the new ore won't be in the world anyway so you'd have to hack your inventory to use it).

You are c o r n fusing me, what do you mean, please clarify or give a link?
