Mod incompatibility has grown more severe for 1.21.4

On the modrinth page, it says the mod is client-side.
However, you cannot login to a server with the armor-statues mod AT ALL.

Before, you could atleast login with a vanilla client, but now even with a vanilla client you cannot login at all.

Same here. I would really like proper vanilla client compatability.

The issue here arises because of how this mod registers it's menu and uses that to update the armor stand through the menu synchronizing to the server. A much more robust way of implementing this is to keep the menu purely client-side and send packets to the server when modifying the armor stand, and having a server only listen to the packets. I could do that myself fairly easily but im Very Busy:tm:. I made a super hacky quick fix that simply doesn't sync the menu ID to the server, but a client without the mod gets kicked when shift+right clicking the armor stand. Quick Fix, to get the file you'll have to compile it yourself.

I've had to stop using this mod because it now forces vanilla clients to install fabric (previously a fully vanilla client could connect no problem and only people running Fabric had to install the mod client side).

Our server is a vanilla+ server and one of our requirements is you can connect with a 100% vanilla client.

Back to to the statues datapack I guess unless or until this problem gets fixed. Even if that doesn't happen, thanks for the short time we were able to use this mod, it's a great mod.

@PeaEyeEnnKay I use the vanillatweaks datapack for support on my vanilla+ server

@Legomountain14 I use MukiTanuki's Armor Statues Datapack on modrinth or curseforge, it seems more advanced than the vanillatweaks one and includes the stick and fishing rod that make posing easier. We always have that installed anyway (The datapack sometimes has things the mod doesn't) but this mod enhanced that and made things easier.
