  2. Hopefully now that the four main Bukkit developers have been hired by Mojang to develop the Minecraft API, we’ll be able to add more things like this, which may require both a server-side and client-side mod. The way they’re describing it, I’ll be able to install a plugin on the server, and when you connect to the server, it will automagically download whatever client-side mods that are required and install them into your client for use only on our server, all seamlessly. I’m wholeheartedly looking forward to being able to install things like this. :D

    • I have only on question to that, How would they possibly code it to install something on the client side, wouldn’t that require you to have admin access to our computers?

      • Not necessarily, no. For many programs, yes. But the way Minecraft itself is installed to and runs from a location in the user’s own profile folder, as opposed to a system-wide location, that means that the client can download and install whatever Minecraft API compatible mods the server feeds it. The only files that would need to be modified are already owned by the user, so no admin access needed. :D
