## Description ![Server connection error screen: the player's shader or shader settings do not match the server's configuration. The error text suggests downloading the shader and shader settings from the specified link](https://i.postimg.cc/DzspNT3j/Screenshot-822.png) **Server Shader Gate & Enforcer (SSGE)** – a client-side mod and server-side plugin that requires players to install a shader and use specific shader options to play on the server. Upon connecting to the server, the SSGE client mod automatically sends its configuration data about the current shader and its settings to the server plugin. The server plugin compares the received data with its own configuration. If the data matches, the player is allowed onto the server. Otherwise, the connection is refused. The mod requires [Iris](https://modrinth.com/mod/iris) and [Fabric API](https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api) to work. ## Сonfiguration The configuration file of the mod – `ssge_mod.json`; the configuration file of the plugin for the server – `ssge.yml`

ssge_mod.json

``` { "shaderFile": "", "shaderOptions": "", "sizeShader": 0, "sizeOptions": 0, "enableShaders": false } ``` This configuration is generated automatically when connected to the server and depends on the Iris settings: the switch on/off shader, selected shader file and selected shader settings `shaderFile` – shaderpack file `shaderOptions` – shader settings file. If the shader uses default settings, this string will be `empty` because the file will not exist. `sizeShader` – shaderpack size in bytes. `sizeOptions` – shader settings size in bytes. If the shader uses default settings, this value is `0`. `enableShaders` – shaders enabled/disabled switch

ssge.yml

``` require_enabled: true shader_file: '' shader_options: '' size_shader: 0 size_options: 0 link: https://example.com/download-shader-with-config require_shader: true require_options: true ``` Generated automatically and requires further configuration to work properly. `require_enabled` – shaders enabled/disabled switch `shader_file` – shaderpack file `shader_options` – shader settings file. If the shader uses default settings, this string will be `empty` because the file will not exist. `size_shader` – shaderpack size in bytes. `size_options` – shader settings size in bytes. If the shader uses default settings, this value is `0`. `link` – your link to download the shader and specific settings `require_shader` – requires a specific shaderpack `require_options` – requires specific shader settings

## For example Let's say we want all players on our server to play using [thejinxedartist's MC VHS](https://modrinth.com/shader/mc-vhs) shader. Then the plugin configuration can be like this: ``` require_enabled: true <–– shader_file: 'MCVHSV2.zip' <–– Required shader_options: 'MCVHSV2.zip.txt' <–– values size_shader: 275232 <–– size_options: 79 <–– link: https://modrinth.com/shader/mc-vhs require_shader: true require_options: true ``` The mod configuration must match the plugin configuration and be like this: ``` { "shaderFile": "MCVHSV2.zip", "shaderOptions": "MCVHSV2.zip.txt", "sizeShader": 275232, "sizeOptions": 79, "enableShaders": true } ``` If the player has a different configuration, the server will kick him. Also, the `link` for downloading the shader will be received from the plugin and saved in the file `ssge_link.txt` in the *`.minecraft/config`* folder
