Eclipse Protocol is best played when the server and every client use the same release, configuration, and required files. This page covers the safe baseline for hosting and joining.
Joining a server
Install the exact project version used by the server. Do not assume the newest release is compatible with an older server. Launch the pack once before connecting so configuration and required folders are generated.
- Match the Minecraft and Forge versions.
- Match the Eclipse Protocol release.
- Do not remove required client mods.
- Allocate enough memory without assigning all system RAM.
Hosting a server
Use a dedicated server installation and transfer only the correct server files, configuration, scripts, and required mods. Keep automatic backups and test updates on a copy before touching the live world.
- Back up worlds before every update.
- Keep client and server configs synchronized.
- Use a restart schedule for long sessions.
- Share logs when requesting support.
Troubleshooting order
- Confirm every player uses the same release.
- Remove unofficial additions and test the published configuration.
- Check
latest.logon both server and affected client. - Reproduce the issue on a fresh test world.
- Open a support ticket with the relevant files.
