Unfortunately, my server did not like the Rock Scanner. When I tried to place it I got an error message from the server, and the scanner disappeared. Error: Could not instantiate item '[rockscanner, 1 {}]'. ItemException: No such item 'rockscanner' ItemDatabase::itemData(string) ItemDatabase::createItem(ItemDescriptor) ItemDatabase::item(ItemDescriptor) bool ItemDatabase::readItem<item><ByteArray, shared_ptr<Item>> ToolUser::getNetStates<World*, ToolUserEntity*> Player::getNetStates<> Player::tickSlave<> WorldServer::update<> WorldServerThread::update<> WorldServerThread::run<> ThreadImpl::runThread<void*> BaseThreadInitThunk RtlInitializeExceptionChain RtlInitializeExceptionChain
I really have no idea about making mods work in the multiplayer structure. Judging by the error message and the fact that it only happened at the point you were placing it in the world, I'd guess that the server failed to load the mod correctly or at all, but it loaded into the client which allowed it to be crafted. That is only a guess though. I ran a server and locally connected client on my machine and it seemed to load and work well enough, but that doesn't really prove anything since it's just running two copies of exactly the same thing.
Yeah, it didn't load at all because I failed to notice that it didn't get copied to the mod folder on the server comp. Whoops!
I unpacked the mod and corrected it for compatibility with unstable version. if the author will give me permission, I'll post it here.
