==================

MoreMcmeta is a client-sided mod, so you don't need to install it on a server.
Texture Configuration API
--------
If you're a Minecraft modder, you can create your own plugins for MoreMcmeta that add new texturing effects and support for new formats. See the [API documentation](https://github.com/MoreMcmeta/core/wiki/Plugin-Docs:-Overview) for more details.
Emissive Textures Plugin
--------
A [separate plugin](https://modrinth.com/mod/moremcmeta-emissive) is available to enable support for emissive textures with MoreMcmeta.

Important 1.18.2 Forge Version Requirement
---------------------------
As of version 4.0.0, MoreMcmeta requires Minecraft Forge 40.2.4+. You need to download the _latest_ 1.18.2 Forge version, not the recommended version.
Forge might provide a confusing error message when the version you are using is too low. Please update Forge before you report an issue for 1.18.2.
