Where To Install
Happy Ghast Controls uses the same file for servers, clients, and singleplayer.
| Install location | What you get |
|---|---|
| Server | Happy Ghast storage, Cargo Harness crafting, speed settings, permissions, and update notices. |
| Client | Riding controls, Cargo Harness texture, clearer visuals, and the inventory-key storage shortcut. |
| Singleplayer | Both server and client features. |
Permissions are always checked by the server. Installing the mod on your client does not bypass server permissions.
