So you want to be able to force people to spend 3 hours downloading hundreds of unnecessary music files from you at near dial-up speeds? No thanks. Everything that is on the CDN is downloaded regardless of user settings, though. I could allow user uploads to the CDN but that would probably be abused immediately.

no i want to force people to download textures so they can see prints, custom centerprint bitmaps, and textures on important items such as the playing cards mod for example. nothing else actually matters besides the textures from an actual playability standpoint.

I've only noticed freezing on datablocks being a thing related to add-ons, specifically in my case blockland glass. It nearly prevented me from joining any server including my own until it was removed.

I don't think forcing them to download textures is really necessary. I'm pretty sure download textures is enabled by default though, so unless someone intentionally disables it there shouldn't be an issue. I'm not in all disagreement however, because I can see how this would impact a specific game mode. You could almost say the same thing about shadows. An option to force enable shadows to clients on the server if they are capable of handling them would be useful for game modes that rely on them such as solar apoc or haunted servers etc
It would be cool if faces and decals could be seen by other players if the download textures option is enabled as well, or that could even be a separate option. We would finally be able to see user-made faces and decals without needing the same add-on

no downloads are enabled by default
