Anyone interested in modded Minecraft? Got a Foolcraft 3 server up...

[Schadrach]

On request of a couple of online friends, I put up a Foolcraft 3 modded Minecraft server.

The pack (you want "Foolcraft 3", not Foolcraft) is available on the Twitch client.

Server address is 64.74.111.174:31501

Is Minecraft even a thing, outside of junior high twitch streamers?

The core of the group I used to play with spread from 17 to 40-something, but one of them has vanished from the internet, another is having relationship/job/money problems, another backed away from Minecraft as too much of a timesink having started his college career, and another two live in Australia and Sweden, respectively. So I figured asking around to see if anyone might be interested couldn't hurt.

A cheap, easy to run game with an extensive modding community, nearly infinite possibilities, and that sparked many massive online communities that helped forge entire relationships?

Yeah. Pretty sure it's still a thing. The child takeover factor is pretty easily ignored as long as you don't go to Minecon or you can play in communities that strictly limit themselves to 18+ players.

I can understand if you haven't played or looked into anything Minecraft related on purpose, but the game is still quite ubiquitous in the gaming industry. A lot of games, regardless of quality, live or die by their online communities, and Minecraft still has a decent one, especially with it being ported to nearly every platform out there.

Hey, I joined up. Looking forward to seeing you and some of your friends online. What time roughly do most of you guys plan on playing?

what os foolcraft? how does it change the game?

Sorry for the server outage so soon, but one of the mods in the pack appears to be causing...issues.

Waiting on a response from the pack devs regarding the problem, or alternatively an update for the server files.

Server is back and seemingly functional. Bug in thaumcraft was causing it repeatedly load and unload every dimension, starting a thread to do aura caluclations each time, but not bothering to ever stop those threads, leading to running out of RAM. Had to make some config and world edits to fix it.

Also updated to Foolcraft 3 version 1.1.1 while I was at it.

Why is the server down?

 

[Schadrach]

Someone built something from a buggy mod that crashed the server on load of the chunk. Had to restore that region from backup, rollback of about 3 hours for just that region (5.0).
