# WindLaunch Plugin<\/p>\n
The **WindLaunch Plugin** is the server-side counterpart of the **WindLaunch Fabric client mod**.

## \ud83e\udde9 Function<\/p>\n
– Registers a **Plugin Messaging Channel** called `windlaunch:handshake`
\n– Listens for handshake messages from connected clients
\n– Sends back a one-byte response to **allow** the WindLaunch mod on the client<\/p>\n

## \ud83d\udce1 Handshake Protocol<\/p>\n
| Code | Direction | Meaning |
