Quark VS quilt-serverside-mods

I've now reported the issue to GitHub. Thank you. :)

Since you asked for a working example, Quark has an emotes system that seems to be what you're describing (new player animations for Forge, visible to other players). Here is the entry point for the module.

You already sent it on the Discord, look at the #bug_reports channel. And ofc: https://github.com/VazkiiMods/Quark/issues

Good luck figuring this one out; I'll let you know if I come up with anything. Quark 1.18 is fairly new so maybe this is yet to be discovered. You can always try a bug report or asking around in Vazkii's Discord if all else fails.

not a jobs one, no. you can check out the serverside mod list here https://serverside.infra.link/

Have a look at this list. It's got a ton of useful server-side mods which you can use on your server.

To be honest, the natural path for those that come from Bukkit and derivates for the future is to either switch to datapacks, migrate altogether to Bedrock (that already have interesting advances on its addon/pack system) or switch to Fabric server-only mods - There is a lot of possibilities already and there is also Polymer project that aims to "convert" some classic mods to server-side-only, so at the end maybe OP should look at it all and forget the Sponge thing.

This seems like a decent shop mod, for a larger list of mods you can look here. Another shop mod I found was https://modrinth.com/mod/diamond-economy

Once you have your server OS installed, look through the performance section of Quilt Serverside Mods (even though it says Quilt all the mods are Fabric compatible). Also make sure to set sync-chunk-writes to false in your server.properties.

I have been using this list to find some optimization mods but some mods in the performance sections seems to break the game (eg - Very Many Players ).

Here’s a good resource for server-side mods, some of them are for quilt but quite a few are fabric mods (originally the list was only fabric mods, also quilt is a fork of fabric, so if you wanted to give it a go, it has most of the same benefits fabric does)
