This Is A Modpack Themed Around Tech Magic Pain And Suffering!

---Story---

One Day We Where Sitting Around Wondering What We Could Do With Our Time That We Where Just Wasteing In The Middle Of Our Classes, We Then Came Up With The Painpack, An Early On Version Of This Modpack, In The Painpack There Where About 300 Mods (Mostly Bugfixes And Library's) That Pack Later Became Pain And Suffering, Our First Ever Official Modpack And The Building Blocks Of Voidflame Labs Introduction To The World Of Modding Content And Coding, Refined From An Older Modpack Made By Us Years Ago (This Pack Consisted Of Us Adding Pretty Much Anything We Saw In Other Modpacks) And Tweaked For Difficulty And Balance, We Created This Pack
Pain And Suffering Intends To Be Similar To The Bigger More Popular Modpacks That Focus On Raising The Difficulty While Also Exsisting On The Newest Version Possible (No We Will Not Go To Unsafe Versions Such As 1.19 This Is Why Its 1.18 With Some Backport Mods) And Have A Wide Range Of Content To Explore And Have Fun With

---Lore---

Our Land, Our Reality, Many Times Destroyed And Rebuilt By The Laws Set Forth By The Gods...

Once Upon A Time There Was An Ancient World-

This World Housed Some Of The Most Powerful Beings And Entities And Standing Above It All Where The Enderbaze

Millenia Passed And The Enderblaze Where Gradually Killed Off By Riftwalkers - Entities Of Which Consumed Entire Realities For Their Resources And Valuables Leaving Nothing But A Husk Left -

Slowly The World Started To Regrow-

The World Lush With Life And Full Of Joy Lasted About A Year That Way Before Complete Annialahtion Happened Once Again, Leaving Nothing But A Ruin In The Sky And Memories Of What Once Was

That Land Slowly Regrew Into A Crumbling Void, And A Shell Of What It Once Was, With Very Few Living Left Untill - Gradually They All Died Off...

Over Millenia Of Silence And Emptyness, This World Was Found Just Floating And Hanging By A Thread, The Memories Of The Once Great Enderblaze Turned To Nothingness And Lost To Time...

The World Was Overrun By Undead And Mutated Monsters That Where Once The Entirety Of The Civilization, As Well As Reincarnations Of Those Who Once Walked The Land - Spirits

Upon Finding This World, You Deside To Find Your Way Through The Madness And Chaos, To Master The Lost Arts That The End Once Used To Control Entire Civilizations - Entire Dimensions - Realities - All Of It

But Your Constantly Overrun By Those Who Did Not Pass On Into The Afterlife And Remain Here - Stranded And Mindless

Your Running Low On Resources And All You Have Are A Few Books You Found, An Amulet, A Ring, And Some Blueprints, Your Running Low On Time As Your Out Of Supplies, And Your Thermal Tuners Are Starting To Decay, Your Regeneration Packs Are At An All Time Low Of Zero As You Used The Last One, And Nighttime Is Approaching, You Know There Is No Way Off This World, Your Out Of Fuel And This World Has No Way To Make The Correct Type To Get You Back Home, Your Trapped Forever, But At The Very Least, Maybe You Can Survive This Chaos, Long Enough To Get Out Of This Hell, For Someone To Notice Your Gone And Come Take You Back Home, Just Maybe... You Just Have To Survive Until That Day Comes, If It Ever Does...

Making Into A Server (Server Template Will Be Available Soon)

So You Want To Make The Pack Into A Server? Well We Dont Mind That, There Are Just A Few Guidlines You Have To Follow (Mostly Because Of Some Of The Mods In The Pack)

Below Is What You Can And Cant Do

What You Can Do

Customize The Modpack To Your Wishes (Assuming You Credit It As A Fork And Yes You Are Free To Publish A Copy Of Voidflame Labs: Pain And Suffering To CF With Your Own Changes - Voidflame Labs Team)

Add Ranks Paid Or Earned (You Must However, Add It To The Server To Get It To Work)

Add An In-Game Currency (You Cannot Allow People To Purchase This Currency For Official Currencies However Unless The In Game Currency Can Only Be Used For Cosmetics)

Allow People To Purchase Cosmetics (Assuming They Are Purely Cosmetic And Dont Give People Advantages Such As Going Invisible Or Making People Harder To See)

Give Specific Important People A Unique Attribute (For Instance, The Server Owner May Have The Capacity To Go Into Freecam Mode Without Being Banned, The Top Admin May Be Able To Use Waystones For Free, Things Such As That Are OK Even Though Generally You Cant Give People Advantages, This Is Because These People Have Put In An Enormous Amount Of Effort And Deserve To Be Recognized)

Loot Crates (Its Ok As Long As You Can Get Them For Free And If Any Are Paid They Should Only Give Cosmetic Items With No Functional Advantages)

A Hub (Ofc You Can Make A Hub, Why The Heck Not, Do Whatever You Want In That Hub As Long As It Does Not Break The Modpack Terms)

Make Added Mods Unlockable (While Mods In The Base Modpack Are Not Allowed To Be Blocked Behind A Voting System A Paywall Or A Time Limit, If You Added The Mod You Can Lock It Behind Voting Or A Time Limit (Blocking It Behind A Paywall Would Make It Paying For An Unfair Advantage))

Add And Remove EMC From Items (Because, YES)

Add A Que And A Paid Que (You Can Make A Que For When The Server Has Reached Max Players And An Option To Pay To Be Immune To The Que, You Cannot Set The Server Player Count Below 50 If You Choose To Do The Paid Que Option)

Add A Donations System (This Is Perfecty Fine And If You Are Rewarding Them, Only Cosmetics/Items That Would Not Allow Them An Unfair Advantage (EX Of Unfair: Ronald Pays Money And Gets A Shulker Of Diamond Blocks) (EX Of Fair: Jacob Pays Money And Gets A Cool Particle Trail Effect Like Enderman Particles And A Special Item That Makes One Of His Weapons Play A Cooler Crunching Sound When He Hits Someone With It))

Add A Voting System (Having People Vote Should Not Be A Requirement To Use Certain Mods In The Base Modpack But Can Be Used To Unlock Mods Unique To Your Server (EX Of OK: Ryan Votes And Unlocks A Mod Unique To The Server Made By The Admins/Server Team That Allows Him To Craft Spawn Eggs) (EX Of Not OK: David Votes And Unlocks Project E, A Mod That Was In The Base Modpack Is Was Not Programed By The Admins Of The Server, Thus Gaining A Major Advantage And Making Everyone Else In The Server Unhappy))

What You Cant Do

Allow People To Pay Money To Gain An Unfair Advantage (Such As Paying To Get Diamonds, Paying To Turn On Keep Inventory Paying For Admin And Any Other Advantages Gained From Paying Official Currency)

Block Specific Mods Behind Paywalls/Voting (You Cannot Require People To Vote Pay Or Play For A Specific Amount Of Time In Order To Unlock Any Mods Inside The Modpack Whatsoever)

Require People To Pay To Play The Server (Seeing As You Would Not Have Made All Of The The Mods The Base Modpack And Also Dont Get Charged More Based On Players If You Know What Your Doing)

Give Admins An Unfair Advantage (Allowing Admins Access To Items That Do Things Such As One Shot Anything Or Give Other Unfair Advantages, Allowing Admins Access To Creative Mode And Allowing Them To Use It Or Cammands To Give Themselves Anything Is Wrong, If Its Not For Server To Function Properly/Be Moderated, Its Probably Not A Ethical Thing To Do)

Give Subscribers Followers ETC An Unfair Advantage/Free Items (The Modpack Is Intended To Be Fair, Dont Just Go Around Giving People Items Because They Follow You On A Streaming Site Thats Just Dumb As Well As Bribery)

Allow Some People To Access An Item And Not Others (Doing Things Such As Removing A Recipe And Then Giving A Group Of People That Item, Removing A Recipe For An Item And Not Erasing The Existing Ones ETC (In The Case That You Remove A Recipe Due To It Being An OP Item, Its Reccomended That You At Least Give People Who Had That Item Its Initial Ingrediants As A Refund Rather Than Just Robbing Them Blind))

Locking Recipes Behind Anything (This Only Applies To Recipes In The Base Modpack)

Allowing People To Pay To Cause Events (Such As Someone Paying And A Tornado Happens, Someone Pays And The Weather Is Set To Clear Or Someone Pays And Every Player Is Teleported To That Players Pit Fall Trap)

Below Are Some Suggestions We Have, You Do Not Have To Do Theese Things But It Is Reccomended

Post Your Server IP In The Comments Of The Modpack (This Will Allow People To Easily Find Your Server And Maybe Even One Of The Voidflame Devs Will Hop On And See How Your Doing, Dont Worry We Dont Bite And We Could Care Less If Your Server Is Full Of Creeper Holes And Pixel Art)

Post Your Server IP On A Server List Site (More People Find It More People Play It)

Comment Anything You Want Us To Add In The Comments Of The CF Project (We Would Love To Hear Your Feedback And How We Could Make Our Project Better, It May Not Make Us Any Money (As We Never Applied For Monitization) But We Enjoy Making Modpacks And Love Making Them As Good As They Possibly Can Be)

Use A Personal Computer Or A Server Unit That You Own Yourself (Server Hosts Are Nice, But With Some Effort, You Can Make An Old PC, A Server Module Or Even A Raspberry PI Into A Minecraft Server, The Best Part? It Costs MUCH Less Than Some Server Hosts (As In You Have No Monthly Fee For It, If You Have Solar Pannels That Is, Otherwise Your Elsectric Bill Will Go Up Slightly) And You Will Have MASSIVELY Increased Performance Depending On The Device Your Hosting It On)

Use A Headless Machine If Your Using Your Own Devie (Headless Machines Do No Need Much Power For The OS Of The Machine And You Can Dedicate Massive Amounts Of Power To The Server By Doing This (You Will However Need To Know How To Use The Terminal Well Enough To Operate The Entire Device From The Terminal But Its Much Simpler Than You Would Think))

Personalize The Server (Do Cool Things Like Custom MOTD Custom Join MSG And Other Things So That You Can Really Make It "YOUR Server" And Not "Another Avereage Minecraft Modded Survival Server" Or Even Make It Have A Custom Resource Pack)

Add A Violence Warning (If Your A Bigger/Commercial Server, We Suggest You Do This So You Can Cover Yourselves, We Suggest Making It Pop Up When The User Joins The Server For The First Time And Allowing Them To Click A Button To "Go Back To Safety" And Get Disconnected This Is Just Due To The Classes Of Weapons In The Modpack Being Slightly Brutal Such As Firearms And Although The Firearms Are In No Definition Realistic (A Rectange On Top Of A Slightly Smaller Rectangle For The Barrel And Handle) There Is No Harm In Being Safe Is There?)

Dont Just Use The Defaults (Minecraft Servers That Just Use A Default Icon And A Default MOTD Rarely Get Many Players, Why Would Someone Join A Server That Looks Like The Admins Dont Know How To Make It Amazing In Every Way?)

If You Dont Have An Idea For A MOTD (Ok So Your Probably New To This, Thats Fine Everyone Starts Somewhere, Voidflame Started As Our Head DEV Just Repairing An Old Minecraft Modpack After Jumploader Was Ended, Why Not Use Something Like The Servers Name, The Servers Version, And The Authors Of The Server Or Even Some Credit To Voidflame Labs In The MOTD Ya Gotta Put The Voidflame Credit Somewhere In The Server And If Your Unnable To Think Of A MOTD, Thats Somewhere Ya Can Put It)

Use A Decent Amount Of RAM In Your Server (We Reccomend For A Small Server With About 3 Players 8GB RAM This Is A Large Modpack After All And We Always Reccomend Above The Lowest We Have Been Able To Run Something At)

If Its Going Slow And You Have No More Computer Power (You Can Try Setting The Tick Speed To One The Render Distance Lower And Trying Multithreading Mods For Better Performance And Setting Down The Max Chained Neighbor Updates A Little Lower And Entity Broadcast Range To 25-50 For Even More Performance)

It Keeps Stopping The Server ): (You Can Try To Set Down The Max Tick Time To -1 This Is Because The Server Is Not Going Fast Enough At Launch But Will Normally Eventially Get Back Up To Speed)

Setting Log IP's To False (We Will Have That As The Default Setting Inside The Server Template, In Fact Most Settings Will Be Set To Our Reccomendations By Default In The Template Server Logging IP's Is Not A Good Idea Because If Your Server Gets Hacked You Now Become Responsible For All Of The Stolen IP's And Notifying Everyone About It As Well As Assisting Them In Securing Their Data)

Set Allow Flight To True (Certain Modded Items Allow Flying And Not Doing This Will Break Them)

Dissable Snooper (We Highly Suggest Dissabling Snooper, Snooper Allows Microsoft To Gather Info On Your Server At Any Time, Regardless Of Your Location As Well As Info Of Anyone On The Server, It Violates Some EU Laws So We Highly Reccomend Dissabling It Regardless Of Your Location And Especially For Public Servers)

Tell People The Setting Changes And What Your Sever Does Different (This Will Help Your Server Gain Traction Popularity And Users Because If They Are Good Changes, More People Will Play)
