Not much attention has been given yet to how items should be handled across major versions; if you enable V2/GC compatibility, for example, there will likely be bugs. Please report such bugs as GitHub issues. In cross-version play, when any of the server drop modes are used, the server uses the drop tables corresponding to the leader's version and section ID. (For example, if a DC V1 player is the game leader, rare-table-v1.json will be used, even after V2 players join.) If a BB player is the leader and the `client` drop mode is used, the server generates items as if it were in `shared` mode. @@ -549,13 +548,13 @@ Some commands only work on the game server and not on the proxy server.
