Luckily it only really has to make me happy
Honestly I didn't set out to make a popular pack. I figured a few people would play it as an oddity. I had no idea there were this many people as weird as me ... people that go... why not power everything with food? Why not run in fear from silverfish while starving to death with a stack of steaks in hand?
I just wanted a pack that felt more like a game and less like 40-50 mods thrown together with no real cohesiveness. Where the mod pack is hopefully a sum of all the mods in harmony. *shrug*
The rest of y'all are just nuts
well, I had been interested in an agricultural and or magical mod pack. This is the closest one to it. Not real big on the infernal stuff, but I can set an environment where I don't have to care about them unless I want to behind a fence/wall whatever. Magic world is kinda dinky as a pack. Horizons is just made to be derpy.[DOUBLEPOST=1391627339][/DOUBLEPOST]Luckily it only really has to make me happy

would like to hear the lore on how that works...
Beds send you to the peaceful dimension of dreamland. A dimension that allows you to slip through time and avoid monsters. Dimensional travel requires magic and something from another dimension. Redstone = magic, enderium = other dimension alloy to tune the wool allowing you to slip through time.
Don't worry.. I am kidding on that one.
But I should get points for coming up with a plausible lore story off the top of my head
I would have gone with cool waterbed, but whatever.[DOUBLEPOST=1391627936][/DOUBLEPOST]
aye, better lore-r than I if there is such a thing.Don't worry.. I am kidding on that one.

Game masochism is a subculture of its own. The original point of many games is to challenge players to improve themselves until they could beat it. That was how many NES games were designed. Today, there are significantly less of these games, so when people who enjoy that level of difficulty find good challenging games they latch on to them and put them on a pedastal. A great modern example would be Super Meat Boy. (</GameHistoryRant>)Luckily it only really has to make me happy

That actually explains it a bit. And I do have a tendency of making each version slightly more difficult than the previous. Cause I find some "easy route" and want it to stop tempting me.

Don't change the bed, just make it so you have to craft a nightlight out of the redstone and enderium in order to be able to sleep. Without the nightlight the bed acts as a monster spawner.

Hah hah, yes ;-) That was a perfectly plausible explanation, I have to say. Maybe hard mode should be without beds, seriously. It's not *that* tough to stay underground at night and wall/torch up everything. As for long-distance journeys, you'd pretty much have to spelunk at night, or else burn a couple of Mystcraft books for the round-trip to base and back.
Silverfish would be an even more pertinent risk without beds.
I could turn off the beds for the harder configs, people could still use the sleeping bag to skip night. It just wouldn't reset their spawns. Does tat seem reasonable for the hard configs? Not the normal ones... thats way too much for those.
I see only one problem with that since beds actually serve two functions to me :
a) skip night and its dangers, and b) setting new spawn places.
I wouldn't mind losing the skipping night ability (that includes losing access to the sleeping bag)
but I would not like losing the ability to respawn at a chosen safe place after dying.
IS there another way than beds to set a spawn that does not involve MC console commands?

I think Hunger Overhaul does this by default, but the sleeping bag bit would have to be custom coded.
