4. Client Distribution Architecture (AutoModpack & Default Options)

Client modpack synchronization is fully automated via AutoModpack.

Minimal Client Requirement

Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge loader.
1 Mod: automodpack-mc1.20.1-forge-4.0.6.jar in .minecraft/mods/.

Client-Only Host Payload (19 Mods)

Located in runtime/data/automodpack/host-modpack/main/mods/ on the server and pushed to clients automatically:

sound-physics-remastered-forge-1.20.1-1.4.10.jar

Server-Side Exclusions (8 Mods)

Explicitly excluded from syncing to clients via syncedFiles in automodpack-server.json: SimpleBackups, spark, antixray, doubledoors, Clumps, collective, lts_auth, improvedmobs.

Synchronized Client Files & Options Enforcement

/config/** (Synchronizes mod configurations, BSL shader settings, and default options template).
/journeymap/config/** (Synchronizes master minimap layout, interface scale, theme, and font presets on initial join without overwriting personal waypoints or map tiles).
Options & Keybindings Enforcement:
1. keybindings.txt (/config/defaultoptions/keybindings.txt): Enforces master keybindings (Sneak=Shift, Sprint=Ctrl, FTB Chunks minimap unbound, Ars Nouveau quick casts/radial) dynamically on game boot via patched Default Options.
2. options.txt (automodpack/host-modpack/main/options.txt): Delivers initial graphics settings (fullscreen, 260 FPS limit, render distance 8), audio levels (Master 60%, Music 25%, Hostile 75%, Neutral/Ambient 40%), FOV, and active resource packs on first launch via AutoModpack. Configured under "allowEditsInFiles" in automodpack-server.json so player sound, graphics, and FOV customizations persist between sessions without being overwritten on boot.

5. Operational Runbooks & Administration

Updating Client Master Defaults (`options.txt`)

To update master client options or default keybind templates:

cd ~/.local/share/PrismLauncher/instances/<instance_name>/minecraft

# Push master options and keybindings to payload directories
# 1. Extract and push updated default keybindings
grep "^key_" options.txt > keybindings.txt
scp keybindings.txt ubuntu@sotoserver:~/mcserver/instances/forge-1.20.1-survival/runtime/data/automodpack/host-modpack/main/config/defaultoptions/

# 2. Extract and push updated first-launch options (stripped of keybinds) to AutoModpack host payload
grep -v "^key_" options.txt > options_clean.txt
scp options_clean.txt ubuntu@sotoserver:~/mcserver/instances/forge-1.20.1-survival/runtime/data/automodpack/host-modpack/main/options.txt

# Restart server container to update payload manifest
ssh sotoserver "docker restart mc_forge_server"

Interactive Console Dashboard (`runtime/console`)

To launch live container logs alongside an interactive RCON prompt:

cd instances/forge-1.20.1-survival/runtime
./console

Top Window: Live log stream (docker logs -f mc_forge_server).
Bottom Window: Interactive RCON shell (MC>).
Detach: Press Ctrl+B, then D (leaves container running in background).

In-House Auth Mod Compilation (`patches/lts-auth/`)

To rebuild and hot-swap the custom authentication mod (lts_auth-1.0.1+mc1.20.1.jar) from source (LtsAuthMod.java, LoginCommand.java):

Ensure container mc_forge_server is running.

Execute the compilation script:

cd instances/forge-1.20.1-survival/patches/lts-auth/
python3 build.py

Restart the server container to load the compiled JAR:
```
docker restart mc_forge_server
```

Default Options Keymapping Patch Compilation (`patches/default-options/`)

To rebuild and hot-swap the custom keybindings modifier patch (defaultoptions-forge-1.20.1-18.0.5.jar) from source (KeyMappingDefaultsHandler.java):

Ensure container mc_forge_server is running.
