I'm either playing Modded Minecraft singleplayer or working through my games backlog. If you catch me on i'm probably giving the server a kick or teaching William how to Minecraft. :p 

I'd love the Neowin Server to go modded, it's the only reason I never came back after the last big wipe, I was just having too much fun on my current "server" with mods.

Guys seriously check out Sponge again. it's really starting to mature and many plugins are already out.

Sponge is currently on 1.9.4

 

I would love neowin to do a modded server of some sort, I honestly just get bored with vanilla too quickly.

Sponge is now 1.10.2, they're actually dropping support for 1.9.4. Modded MC can be a lot more fun as I agree that vanilla can get boring. The right set of add-ons can make a huge difference, I loved Tekkit even though I didn't understand half of what it made available.

I've messed around with the Crack Pack in single player, alas, it makes my poor little MBP weep... that being said, if there is enough interest I could try to set it or any of the other mod packs up on the server.

In the end I actually created a custom mod pack as I found some of the things like Tekkit involved stuff I was never interested in and was missing stuff I did want. When you start adding too many mods the stability drops and its alot harder to then try and drop mods once the world has been going for a while.

 

I'm no master at this stuff but if you want to see the pack I created just let me know and I could try and help.

I have not played Minecraft on the server for ages because as people have said, vanilla gets boring after awhile, plus there's just to much crap on the server at the minute as in houses, farms etc for anyone to do anything.  Every thing is Built if you know what i mean.

 

The only way i would play, or start playing again if it was from scratch and NOBODY in the community is given CREATIVE as this just spoils the server, i have said this before awhile back.

 

I am up for a Modded server as there's a lot more to do, one of my favorite mods is blood magic and Thaumcraft. I would probably be on everyday with a Modded server. (Or when i am not at work :P)

 

Why don't we all list what MODS we would like to use and create a own dedicated Neowin Mod Pack, Or just vote for a mod pack that's already available, for instance Crackpack is a good one on FTB launcher.

 

Thoughts?

I'm with Nuculi, it's more fun when you see the natural growth of the whole server. 

Also we did have mods before right? Mods give us the ability to be able to warp home, go to last death location etc?

You mean the various Bukkit/Spigot plug-ins we use - they would stay in use after a vanilla reset.

I see so plug ins not mods. 

When is the reset slated for? 

I'm going to wait until the next weekend so people can voice their opinion in the poll and we have a clear idea how to go forward, i.e. vanilla reset, keep the status quo or switch to modded MC.

So, the vote seems to be massively in favour of a reset with mods. Now, which mods?

Let's collect suggestions for which modpack to use. Personally I'm leaning towards the Crackpack.

      If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By FateTrap · Posted

      I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
    • Flameshot 14.0 RC3

      By Copernic · Posted

      Flameshot 14.0 RC3 by Razvan Serea Flameshot is a free and open-source, cross-platform tool to take screenshots with many built-in features to save you time. Using Flameshot is as simple as launching, dragging the selection box to cover the area you want to capture, making annotations as needed in on-screen and saving the shot to your computer, all with a very simple and straightforward interface. Flameshot allows users to simply upload their screenshots directly to the cloud in order to easily share it with others. You can upload your image directly to Imgur with a single click and share the URL with others. In-app screenshot editing - You can choose to add an arrow mark, highlight text, blur a section (blur or pixelate an area), add a text, draw something, add a rectangular/circular shaped border, add an incrementing counter number, and add a solid color box with Flameshot's built-in editing tools. Command-line interface (CLI) - Flameshot has several commands you can use in the terminal without launching the GUI via a command line interface. The command line interface lets you script Flameshot and use it as the subject of key binds.

      I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
