The server only. Players join with an ordinary Minecraft client and install nothing.

What licence is [1.21.8 Update!] Butterflies and Dragonflies under?

GPL-3.0-only, as stated by the author on the platform we synced it from. Check the project's own page before redistributing or bundling it.

How do I install [1.21.8 Update!] Butterflies and Dragonflies?

Data packs install per world: put the downloaded file in that world's datapacks folder and run /reload, or add it when creating the world. No loader is involved. On a server, the world folder lives next to the server jar.

Where do I download [1.21.8 Update!] Butterflies and Dragonflies safely?
