Info Patron Server Switch to Stoneblock 3

I guess you can mark my suggestion thread as accepted (whether it had any bearing on the decision to add the pack or not)

Though as I haven't actually played on any recent MC version patron servers I do have a few questions;
1. are the donor tier perks (fly/god/kits/spawnerchange/etc) implemented in 1.18+ servers?
2. will the use of only the mym chunkloader ticket system be enforced or will the use of the ftbchunks system or chunkloader blocks like the one from create etc be permitted?
3. are any items going to be restricted/banned, most notably tick accelerators like the watch of flowing time? as having played the pack a little in SP and watched a couple youtubers playthroughs it is very evident that aspects of the pack (particularly the resource grind for singularities needed for endgame) have been designed with (in some cases rather aggressive) tick acceleration in mind to be viable in a remotely reasonable timeframe...
Or, alternatively will any recipes be modified to reduce the required materials to alleviate the need for excessive/tick-accelerated resource farming setups?

Finally, and i know this is a self-centred request, but is there any possibility of bringing forward the launch time at all as I have the next couple of days off work and it would be a shame not to be able to take advantage of any of that time!

 

Fair enough, in that case with regard to 1. if none of the regular plugins mym uses for tier perks are available would it be possible to try implementing at least some of the available commands through the ftbessentials and ftbranks mods the pack already contains?

For example by default the pack already allows regular players to use the /enderchest command, and allows op'd admins to use /fly, /heal and /god, however by editing ./saves/~/serverconfig/ftbranks.snbt it should be possible to create custom player ranks with access to some of those commands.

Documentation/examples of how to implement can be found here

Also it occurs to me that if you haven't done so already you might want to look at forcibly disabling the minetogether mod, as it adds a 3rd party pseudo-multiplayer chat system (even in singleplayer) that would be outside myms moderation which could result in players on the mym server seeing foul language from players outside of myms control.

 

I'm so sad to see the "AlltheMods7" go - I really enjoyed that modpack. If there is anyway in the future to add in the plugins so that there's some company on these Patron Servers - could you maybe consider bringing it back please...? I do really enjoy that I have the advantage of Patron and am able to play these servers but it's really lonely to play on them lol. I'm really hoping there is a fix for this sometime soon in the future... Thank you for all of your hard work <3

 

So having tested some more aspects of the pack specifically without the use of the Watch of Flowing Time it is very apparent to me that the pack will be obnoxiously tedious to reach end-game in on the MyM server compared to SP without being able to use it, in particular production of neutronium (without running hundreds of neutron collectors which is a specific example of "overstating" on the rules page as something that is prohibited) and literally the entirety of the chickens mod needed to farm the resources/EMC needed for many of the late-game recipes.

On the Stoneblock 2 servers, neutronium was less of an issue because once you'd obtained enough of it you could make neutronium seeds to grow more of it at a somewhat reasonable pace but that isn't an option in SB3, and one of the main compromises for not allowing tick acceleration on SB2 was adjusting the config for the roost mod to significantly increase roost resource output rates and significantly increasing the breeding speed of the chicken breeder, both of which are unfortunately not possible in the 1.18 port of the mod (was raised on their issue tracker a few weeks ago and confirmed that adjustable roost/breeder speeds aren't implemented with no indication of when/if they will be).

So if SB3 is to be remotely playable as a MyM patron server I really think that the use of the Watch of Flowing Time will need to be permitted, at least within reason (e.g. make a rule limiting the number of watches in use per player/team), and see how things go, and only if it becomes a significant noticeable problem consider tightening the restriction or exploring other alternative solutions.

 

Yeah, I was hoping there might be an easy way for you to import myms player database to make it compatible with ftbranks but i figured that might not be the case, though depending on how many mym patrons actually plan to play SB3 I assume it wouldn't be too troublesome to create the ranks and then just manually add players to the appropriate ranks upon request.

 

Did I miss the server IP/adress ?

 

If you use the MyM launcher the IP is added to the multiplayer list automatically, but if you want to use FTB launcher instead for whatever reason the address is patrons.mym.li

 

Shamelessly here to beg for a friend pass

 

Didn't come back because I didn't expect it. Thank you! I'm hopping on shortly to enjoy.
And congrats on all the promotions!

 

Just a heads up regarding possibly updating the server to the new 1.5.0 beta version any time soon i recommend holding off for now as i'm seeing quite a few complains about it been highly unstable on the official ftb discord.
