Summary
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 such as adding custom characters, which typically need to be installed by both server and client. Mods that require clients to install them will also display to users when they connect to the server, which ensures that all players have a shared experience.
