Don't Starve Together servers have many available mods that function both client-side and server-side. The Don't Starve modding community develops many mods, ranging from convenient UI mods that expand on player stats to more involved mods that add custom characters, which typically need to be installed on both the server and the client. Mods that require clients to install them will also be displayed to users when they connect to the server, ensuring that all players have a shared experience.
