Fix: Mismatched Mod Channel List
Resolve the 'Mismatched mod channel list' error when client and server mods don't match.
The "Mismatched mod channel list" error appears when your Minecraft client has different mods or mod versions than the server.
Fixing the Error
Compare mod lists
Check which mods and versions are on the server (go to Files → /mods/ on the XGamingServer panel) and compare with your client's mods folder.
Match the mods
Ensure both client and server have the exact same mods and versions. Pay attention to:
- Missing mods on either side
- Different versions of the same mod
- Client-only vs server-only mods
Identify client-only and server-only mods
Some mods only run on one side:
- Client-only: Shader mods, minimap mods, UI mods (NOT on server)
- Server-only: Permission plugins, economy mods (NOT on client)
- Both required: Content mods that add blocks, items, or dimensions
💡 Tip: The error message usually lists which mods are mismatched. Read it carefully — it tells you exactly what's different.
📝 Note: When updating a modpack, update both the server AND all players' clients simultaneously to avoid this error.
