Extratastic

The best way to enjoy Minecraft in the mod maker's objective opinion!

Target Player Base

For the experienced 1.7.10 modpack player, who doesn't need a questline to play Tinker's Construct, AE2, Thaumcraft and more.

Description (What to Expect)

A modpack with a Tinker's based early-game progression. Hardcore elements have been introduced using the Iguana Tweaks mod, modifying hunger, regeneration and recipes for tools (vanilla tools are disabled and are only usable for crafting, knowledge on Tinker's Construct is required for the modpack)!

Server Pack

Hosted with Linux

Use the "LaunchServer.sh" launch script to start the server in the terminal (USING THE "Minecraft-1.7.10.jar" DIRECTLY WILL RESULT IN A CORRUPTED WORLD FILE! ALWAYS USE THE "LaunchServer.sh"-SCRIPT!!!). Frequently backing up your world directory is recommended.

Launch the server in a Java 8 runtime environment. This version is a REQUIREMENT (don't blame me).

Obtaining the JRE 8

Arch Linux

Via the AUR (Arch User Repository)

JRE Version Look-Up

>>> java -version

openjdk version "1.8.0_502"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_502-b07)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.502-b07, mixed mode)

Hosted on Other Plattforms

You are on your own here! There are various tutorial on how to setup a 1.7.10 Modded Minecraft Server. Follow the appropriate instructions for your operating system!

Misc. Info

Hosting a Server on Raspberry Pi OS 5

A JRE 8 for ARM64 exists and is available for download from various sources.

Default Server Properties

By default, the server will be launch with 16GB of memory (JVM ARGS: -Xmx16GB -Xms16GB). This can be changed by editing the MEMORY variable in the LaunchServer.sh bash script (in case your device runs into insufficient memory issues, i.e. on Raspberry Pi OS).

Recommended Seed Values

Three seeds have especially stood out:

-954215489870471139
29332744912784423564
-343522682

Default World Generation

Singleplayer

Change the world generation setting, during world creation to "Biomes O'Plenty" while creating your world. THIS CANNOT BE CHANGED LATER.

Multiplayer

The world generation setting is already correctly set to "BIOMESOP" in the "server.properties" file that comes included in the Server Pack. If you wish to create a custom properties file, remember to set the level-type parameter to BIOMESOP!

level-type=BIOMESOP

Glitch Where Players Can't Break Blocks

Sadly this happens for some players in multiplayer. The only solution found so far is to give op to all players (act with caution as the server host).
