# Game Mod Support

Clovercraft runs a PaperMC server, which means you can play on our SMP with a standard vanilla version of the game. That said, many players find that adding client-side mods to Minecraft greatly improves their enjoyment of the game. The Clovercraft SMP welcomes modded clients, with the following restrictions.

### Prohibited Mod Behavior

* Mods must be in compliance with the Mojang Terms of Service
* Mods must not allow the player to violate the Clovercraft server rules
* Mods may not enable X-Ray mining or similar mining techniques
* Mods may not allow the player to impersonate other members of the server

In addition to allowing members to put together their own modded clients, Clovercraft also maintains two official modpacks for our SMP. You can read more about those below!

## Available Modpacks

The Clovercraft Quality-of-Life modpack adds a small number of mods to the vanilla game to make playing on our server even better. Navigate the world using both a world map and mini-map, set custom location markers, and even make use of our in-game proximity voice chat!
