My mod Omnimatter has dynamic recipes that can be changed and sometimes with mod settings and such for multiplayer, it says different content but same version number, when they all are equal.

For example, the attached mod settings file works fine when I host the server, but players are unable to join unless I send them the settings file. Expected result would be that they would download the settings from the server like other mods.

If you change a mod in any way, you need to provide the modified mod to the players beforehand or they will not be able to join, there is no way around that.

Because you are doing things like that. Which is a no no. It changes the CRC of the mod which in turns means it won't think it is the same version unless everyone has the exact same settings to begin with.

Correct.

"require" all fines at all times and then conditionally add them to data.raw based off the settings.
