How do they Do it? Servers With Plugins...

[AUSGrizzly]

So today I thought I would do something nice for my small community, I was thinking I would make out FTB server compatible with Bukkit with Bukkitforge and such and throw things like Factions, IConomy and other great plugins...

The next 4-6 hrs are me banging my head against a wall as I attempt to actually get these things working as intended. I couldn't even get past the first plugin which was Factions, seemed that no one other then the Ops could actually use it to do anything, not even load the map it makes...

I look onto the forums and there are countless servers out there that do this already, while we are looking to keep to ourselves, I am left wondering, HOW DO THEY DO IT?!?!?!

A touch of magic helps.

Aus -

I'd recommend looking into MCPC+. There's some good information in the Server Admin section, namely under this post here: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/mcpc-forgeessentials-bukkitforge-bukkit-mods-kind-of.11182/

I've been using MCPC+ to great effect on my test server, and all the plugins you mention above work with no problem, all alongside FTB Ultimate. Really quite amazing.

Keep in mind however, that Forge mods do not necessarily log blocks/actions like Bukkit plugins do, so plugins like block logging and the like don't work 100% with the Forge-based mods.

There is this thing called "time" and "effort." I block at least 2 hours a week just to maintaining and testing the modpacks, and I expect every server I help run to take at least 2-4 hours of my time independently of that. Per week.
