None: its latest version doesn't require any other mods on Modrinth.
How to add spark to your server
- Open the panel and create a world with a compatible loader and Minecraft version (Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, per the table above), or open one you already have.
- In the world's "Mods" section, search for spark in the Modrinth catalog. You'll only see what works with your world.
- Add it with the "Server and players" option, the one the panel suggests for this mod.
- Start or restart the server so it installs.
- Ask your friends to download the .mrpack modpack from the panel again.
