Isn't it unusual for the mods to send data to the server? I had assumed most of the networking APIs for mods are p2p
Unusual in the sense that it’s not normally possible. It’s like asking if it’s unusual for the flying dog to do a barrel roll.
Back end servers usually ignore extra data not possible in vanilla clients, or completely deny the connection because of the extra data. I know of literally no other official server that accepts and passes along random mod data.
Definitely an understatement on my part lol.
