DDKS

DDKS (in general)

Den_drummer's Kitchen Sink is an amalgamation of mods that I'm interested in for that Version of Minecraft. This also means that you can't expect your worlds to still be compatible after moving to a newer MC-version of the modpack.

I might sometimes include the IP to my private server into the download, but you'll still need to be whitelisted in order to be able to join. Usually this means being a friend of mine, or having a friend of mine vouch for you.

Currently the mods Lootr, Create, Comforts and Corpse are a constant accross all versions.

DDKS 1.20.1

The goal for the modpack is to have a dificult start and gradually become stronger and unlock technology and/or features. Currently the pack is in its testing/alpha phase, so things are still changing a lot. I'm also limiting myself to adding a maximum of 10 mods per minor version to try to properly integrate them into what's already there, and I have a few hundred mods ready to be tested. Most of the mods will be focussed around the Create mod and Farmer's Delight mod. The idea is to make a private server similar to an MMORPG, but without a goal set by the modpack/server beyond "survive and thrive in a difficult environment". Some inspiration was taken from the RLCraft modpack, but my own spin on it and a more modern version of Minecraft.

On the server, and in singleplayer after some manual setup in your world, the worldborder's size will be determined by the sum of the advancement points of all players. The more to the right an advancement is in the advancement tree of its tab, the more points it's worth. Regardless of the setup, you will also be awarded spurs from Create: Numismatics equal to these points, which are intended to work as a currency for the server. This is handled by my DAC datapack (Den_drummer's Advancement Counter)

Beyond some recipe tweaks, the DDKS datapack also handles the ranks based on your play time in that world or on the server. The highest rank being at 1 irl year worth of time spent in-game (and game not paused).

Versioning system

<MC-version>-<release>.<major>.<minor>.<patch>
<MC-version>: the Minecraft version it was made for
<release>: the release version of the modpack. Resets major, minor and patch numbers. Usually means I started from scratch.
<major>: the major version of the modpack. Resets minor and patch numbers. Usually means some changes were made making old worlds incompatible.
<minor>: the minor version of the modpack. Resets patch number. Usually means new worlds won't work in older versions, but old worlds should be fine.
<patch>: the patch number of the modpack. Worlds should probably be fully backwards and forwards compatible across patches, but newer versions will usually have a better experience. Usually only contains datapack and/or config changes.
