 ## Mods vs Plugins
 
-The terms "mods" and "plugins" can be quite confusing. Generally, the rule of thumb is that "mods" are used by the types that run client side to modify rendering, add new blocks, and add behaviors server, such as [Forge](../types-and-platforms/server-types/forge.md) and [Fabric](../types-and-platforms/server-types/fabric.md). "Plugins" are used by the types that **only run on servers** to add behaviors, commands, etc such as [Paper](../types-and-platforms/server-types/paper.md) (which derives from [Bukkit/Spigot](../types-and-platforms/server-types/bukkit-spigot.md)). There are also some types that are [hybrids](../types-and-platforms/server-types/hybrids.md), such as Magma, that use both "mods" and "plugins"
