Why?
Many players were annoyed about the many inactive claims in the main world and also requested a farm world reset: Horizons, Farm World (Reset) Poll | MineYourMind Community So we decided to merge it all together so we get the new world generation additions from the new/updated mods.

To play on the updated server you need our MyM-Launcher and run Horizons+. You can download the launcher on our main page if you click on play now.

IMPORTANT NEW main world:
In order to clean up the main world we created a new one that looks exactly the same. You need to move to this new world. For people that have build a lot of great structure we offer to copy and paste the entire region, as this includes cleaning up the rest of the region we are glad about everyone who does the move for him self.
To request it just create a thread in here: General Questions and Support | MineYourMind Community Write in the title Region Transfer and don't forget the coordinates in the post. No longer possible!

WARNING Don't put any ME Storage Drive in any entity with inventory like Strongbox, Backpack, this will corrupt your player file and everything is lost.

 

Bag of Holding is also a entity. Any item is an entity. Just move them with your inventory or enderchest/tesseract.
It is now open, just start the Horizons+ pack and connect to the listed server. Unfortunately it took longer then I thought as my internet connection got very slow and after a while it was completly gone :/

 

Yes, I fixed it few minutes ago. Just restart your modpack.

 

I'm aware of that but can't fix it atm as im not sure what it is and I really need to go off now. Sorry, you need to wait.

 

I downgraded RotaryCraft and the issue is now fixed.

We have/had many issues with ReactorCraft on Monster, so I thought it is better to remove the mod and replace it with BigReactors. I also mentioned it in the Horizons+ thread and not any player said something against it.
However, we could try the mod again with the latest version but we would need the fix the proxy + rotarycraft connection issue first. Does ReactorCraft have any world gen?

Advanced Thaumaturgy looks good, I think we can add this with the next update.

 

The radiation potion effects kick you and don't let you reconnect until someone removes them by hand.
When a reactor explodes or is bad setup and produces radiation entities it spawns so many that it kills the server (1-2 tps) until an admin gets on and removes them.
The overall performance of the mod is between bad and ok. The fusion (is it part of reactor craft or a specific mod) does cause a lot of issues with performance. On monster we replace them through creative energy production...

 

Hm, monster has the same version of Rotary- and ReactorCraft

 

No, I can only find the downloads for 1.7.

 

We had to downgrade RotaryCraft as Reika did implement his own packets ids (bad coding practice) which is incompatible with bungeecord. I'm not sure if that also forces us to stay with the "old" ReactorCraft version or if he did implement them in ReactorCraft, too.

 

ElectricCraft is a bad idea, one of the monster server is currently on 3 TPS because of the mod:
