I run my small server from home. It's just my old PC in another room (although I take delivery of my new MC Server PC tomorrow). That's an i5 with 8GB RAM and a 120GB SSD. Fingers crossed, no more lag.

We like to keep our bases near each other, not not too close. Leaves room for expansion and any farms or quarries etc. (I prefer to quarry underground though, so as not to spoil the view). My daughter regularly asks me to change her gamemode to creative while she builds bigger buildings such as...

I guess that depends on what you class as a "long-term world". Then when 1.6 comes out, will you want to skip 1.7 and wait for 1.8? ;)

I've toyed with the idea of creating a mod pack, to include the mods we like, and exclude the ones we don't. (Ok, after reading that back to myself, it's completely obvious that's what a mod pack is for!!). Specifically to see if we can set challenges or projects without using some of the mods...

I agree with you there. In Tekkit I was obsessed with making a High Voltage Solar Array factory. I managed it eventually. It churned out a few chest loads of arrays, when all we really needed was 1 or 2 each lol. But with FTB I'm going to explore other avenues. Engines and their various fuels...

I must admit, I'm a 'Tekkit Kid' too. But they've asked me to try out FTB on the server to see what else they can do. Something just occurred to me. In this day and age it seems strange that my kids like plopping engines everywhere they can fit one, whereas I prefer the solar panels. It should...

I'm trying to figure out if you come under the 'parent' or 'kid' category. You could fit in either with that response! lol

Whilst chatting to Staxed on another thread, he mentioned running a server for his family. I too run a server for myself, 2 daughters and their 2 friends. I prefer to build automated machines whilst my youngest likes to build and furnish buildings. My eldest just likes to mine! Does anyone...

Well, it's ordered. I'll let you know how it goes once I've got it up and running.

Haha. I agree, fast is good. But after spending over £1000 and my new PC, I'm struggling to justify a MC Server. I blame the kids ;)

Thanks so much for all the help, and all the time you've taken to reply. I really do appreciate it.

Initially it will just be for MC. Although at some point I'll probably let my parents have it (They've done enough for me lol). And I'll probably put Windows 7 on it, just to keep it the same as the other machines in the house. Never tried Linux before.

Does that include installing the OS on the same SSD? Edit : Also, do I need to consider this new Haswell chip, or will the cheapest i5 be ok?

Thanks for the info, Staxed. If the i3 "will probably work" then I don't have a problem with getting the i5 instead. I'd hate to set it up only to find that a couple more friends want to play and it starts to lag again. I read somewhere in this thread that 120GB SSD is enough for MC, so it looks...

I run a Managed Server for myself, my 2 daughters, and their 2 friends. So 5 of us. 3 on the home network, the other 2 from their own homes. Vanilla and Tekkit run great. But we wanted to try FTB. Since installing Unleashed there have been what I can only determine to be 'lag' issues. Blocks not...

I can understand glitchy movement when there's lag and low FPS, but everything looks fine apart from the fast mobs. I might try the Direwolf20 Pack and see if it's the same.

FPS is around 125. It seems very odd.

Standard creatures are bad enough. I don't want any mo.

I should think about building a house. What about the speed of the mobs though? Is that a glitch?

Thanks. Maybe I should've crafted a sword first instead of throwing seeds in his eye!
