Mark as Server-Side on Modrinth

[RealHypnoticOcelot]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I use a tool to automatically download modpacks from Modrinth and start a server with them. The way it works is that it downloads any mods marked as server-side and tries to start the server. Unfortunately, my current modpack uses Better Combat, a mod with a server-side component that depends on playerAnimator to work. Since this mod isn't marked as a server mod, it's not downloaded by default and the server will fail to run.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like the mod on Modrinth to be marked as server-side so that it will download when a server-side mod depends on it.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually adding the mod works fine, but it'd be a lot more convenient to have the pack be automatically configured without extra tweaking.

To add to this I am using these 2 other mods that also require this mod as a dependency on the server side: Spell Engine, Fastload (+ Better Combat as well also in my case).

Example server output in my particular setup:

         - Install player-animator, version 1.0.0 or later.
More details:
         - Mod 'Spell Engine' (spell_engine) 0.12.5+1.20.1 requires version 0.9.9 or later of player-animator, which is missing!
         - Mod 'Better Combat' (bettercombat) 1.8.4+1.20.1 requires version 1.0.0 or later of player-animator, which is missing!
         - Mod 'Fastload Fabric-api Forwarding' (fastload_fapi_forward) 1.0.2 requires version 1.19.1 of 'Minecraft' (minecraft), but only the wrong version is present: 1.20.1!

Fastload doesn't actually need player-animator because it play with Minecraft world mechanics to load the world faster. What Fastload needs is 1.20.1 version of Minecraft, so you can upgrade your server or find a version of Fastload compatible with 1.19.1.

My server is already running minecraft 1.20.1, the log I attached to my first comment clearly states that [05:11:03] [main/INFO]: Loading Minecraft 1.20.1 with Fabric Loader 0.15.7.
I have no idea why that is happening, usually tho it goes away once I add all the other dependencies required.
The original problem still stands that both Spell Engine and Better Combat require this mod to also be server side.

Sorry, i mean 1.19.1 version of Fastload running on 1.20.1
It might never work...

Oh yeah that is weird, I don't notice that, tho it seems to work fine on a 1.20.1 server, I use packwiz to maintain this modpack and it choose this version so I guess it's fine, the mod file name is actually Fastload+1.18.2-1.20-3.4.0.jar (it does not seem to include 1.20.1), tho on the Modrinth download page it sais Game versions 1.18.2–1.20.1 so that is weird, the dev probably forgot to include 1.20.1 in the mod file name and in the mod configs as I do not get this version error anymore if I add player-animator, it seems the dev of that mod is not maintaining it anymore tho that is irrelevant for this Issue as this mod is still needed server side by the other 2 mods Spell Engine and Better Combat.
