The server doesn't send code to the client, all mods are executed by the server. Server then send textures, models,etc to the client.

...No. The code is actually sent to the client. It has to be, in order for interfaces to work properly.

It isn't code is ran by the server and the client only sends information to the server about the current state of the client. This of course is sub-optimal as it can introduce a lot of lag to a game with mods that add vehicles or mobs
