New Minecraft modded server "The Answer" - updated wiki info soon to come. Please do not request whitelist here.. at all.

Well, so far as ideas thrown about in private with Admins, off the record, and talked about on the server itself, it seems that Biomes O'Plenty has some sky colourization issues (sudden change when crossing borders). We may be reconsidering that one... Mystcraft seems to be around to stay, as...

Hey people, I'm starting this to generate a little bit of an idea of what is thought regarding a custom modpack to use for a server instead of Mindcrack. For those of you who connect to thr33p10's Minecraft Server, this is a chance to put in your 2 bits about what you want/hope for, and what...

So.. if you say that *GB, or 16GB would handle higher player numbers, how would you optimize the serverstart file for using that 8GB+ ? I've run 4GB, and tried 8GB, and found that the tps don't always follow getting better with increased memory... It's been a thorn in my side since getting that...

Funny thing I've found running my server on an i7 processor and 16 GB RAM, the server java process only ever utilizes 10% of the CPU time at MOST (and rarely over 3GB RAM with up to 8 people). Honestly, I can only get the machine to get warm (i.e. over 30 Celcius) if there are at least one or...

The server.sh (or .bat file, in the case of windows) is indeed where you would change java flag calls to increase the available memory. In a post I made earlier, I have an example of a more complex serverstart.bat file that enables additional garbage collector options, as well as memory...

http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1351802-151-factorization-0725/ Check the last "spoiler" just before the Installation section... I figured out that if you make the first sculpting tool (stick with clay on it), you can put it back in the crafting grid and it changes the tool to another...

definitely is an excellent tool for that.. best to use on a copy of a backup though :)

Glad to say, the problem is solved.. I had one of our admins check out the area that was reportedly running the server at 5 TPS, and we found .. something .. not clearly identified yet, but it looked like a continually exploding ball being fed by bones from a skeleton spawned above and...

Thanks for the suggestion of using tick threading, and the profile/tick commands! Initial reports on those suggested that 73% of my tick calculation are coming from the tile entities "generic tubes" and I now have a short list of chunk locations to scout for which builds are causing the...

What OS are you running? Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit Are you using minecraft hosting provider or a dedicated/local server not designed for minecraft? dedicated server What version of FTB are you using? (Dont just say latest tell us the version) Mindcrack 8.2.0 (currently) Did you add...

Problem more concisely identified... Java start options are about as optimized as they will ever be. The problem is somewhere on the server map :( :( :( Time to hunt down how to figure out where on the map the lag is coming from..

I've been doing some experimenting on my Mindcrack Server (8.2.0) and found a nice few options to add to the bat file. You could try this as a starting point, and tune the memory figures or threads for GC (Garbage Collection), to suit. On a newly generated map file, I was seeing tick rates...

The mod that added multithreading did a great job of keeping the TPS at 20.. no questions asked. However, it seems that it was resetting chunks in addition :( I've reverted to a backup, and am hoping that there may be more suggestions that could help keep the TPS at 20 without this mod (at...

With a few more people getting onto the server, the tick has gone right back to the "can't keep up" (60ms - 70ms) level and pretty much decides to stay there... on the positive side, it's not "noticeable" but I'm afraid of what happens when we get to too many of the members online at once... Is...
