EDIT: im creating a new post just for voting bc i did not have the proper information to share with you in order to cast an informed vote, now i know more abt the modpack
a user here was kind enough to host a server for all of hexbear (and lemmygrad too)! ill make an update post when the server is up, but in the meantime, dm me with your MC username bc the server will be using an allow-list. i will be vetting accts to ensure no wreckers join (sorry new users and lurkers, maybe we can figure out an alternate vetting process for you). ill be the middlewoman for the allow-list for optimum opsec, so the server owner will remain anonymous and i won’t share the association between HB usernames/MC username with the owner.
also, if ur interested, you can vote in the comments for whether the server should be vanilla+ (server-side mods only) or modded (both client- and server-side mods)
for vanilla+
for modded
voting will end in 3 days
EDIT: for those asking, yes it will be pirate friendly, and the modpack will be lightweight and “should run on a potato” according to the server owner
I like the idea of mods, there are quite a few I’d be game for, but also Java edition is held together with kite string and mods absolutely tank performance for people on lower end systems. I’d be playing on my shitbox laptop. If we did a huge modpack, I wouldn’t be able to play
Edit: Changed my vote, I’m pro modded now. Now that I’ve seen what the modpack is, I can vouch that it’s lightweight and shouldn’t really be too much more difficult to run than Vanilla+. It’s on a new enough version to support sodium+lithium and all those guy’s stuff, and most of the mods are client side and make no difference. I fully support modded now
discussed with the server owner. modpack will be very lightweight
owner mentioned she was running server-side mods that improve performance but idk how much that would help you. this is def something we will take into consideration. idk yet but i might make the requirement for it to be modded like 2/3 of the votes. ill have to discuss w the owner and other mods tho. i want it to be as inclusive as possible, but if a huge majority of ppl want it to be modded i think that’s the way we’ll go. im sorry
Understandable, listen to the voice of the people, I’ll never shame you for that. What kinda mods are you thinking about running? If I knew a modpack and could test it out I’d be less worried, but if it’s something like ATM a lot of people will be left out due to computer issues. If it’s a low performance hit modpack, I’d love to play modded more than vanilla+ so I fully get it. The only factor determining my vote right now is not knowing the mod pack’s performance
Create Extra is what the owner is thinking. supposedly very lightweight
looks cool - only concern is there’s no magic mods to cater to those who prefer magic over tech. could add in ars nouveau or something but that’s more work for yall
I just looked through the modlist, that is extremely lightweight. IDK what all the create mods do, but they sound like they add a little bit of automation. If so, I think y’all found the perfect modpack for me! I expected y’all to use an older version for more mod support when you said modded, but if it’s new enough to have lithium then I can trust it to run a lot more. The modpack looks really good, I’m gonna change my vote
