Pull request for Mindcrack

[ryanjh5521]

Hello. So basically I think that Mindcrack should have Mystcraft added. So what do you guys think?

 

[KhrFreak]

the mindcrack pack depends on what the Mindcrack Server guys want in their pack

add it yourself that's what i've done for my server

From what I've gathered in their videos, Mystcraft will probably be added at some point (when the new version is ready). Not a certainty, though, so just wait and see.

Perssonally, I just added it to the pack. No problem - you just have to remember to re-add it after an update.

Currently mystcraft is considered too overpowered and server unfriendly to include by the mindcrackers which may very well change once all the new systems are added to balance the mod.

It's not that it's OP, it's just not SMP friendly.

You have to create books and search worlds for symbols, creating butt-loads of lag and problems for the server. The mod author is fixing it with a villager-trading system.

'Problems for the server', in this case, is as follows:

It's easy to forget, but each age represents a new world, and thus a new worldfile. The need to generate hundreds of ages for the rarest symbols means that even one person using Mystcraft can become very difficult to manage without 'pruning' unused ages; the worldfiles take up a huge amount of space.

(There's also the unfortunate conflict currently between Mystcraft and Twilight Forest.)

Guude has said a few times that he finds the mod overpowered and that he does not want it on the server/pack. So your own impression of the mod does not really matter, since he is the head of the server/pack its not going to get added until he changes his mind or the members of the server decide it needs to be added.

In other words since it is not a FTB managed pack complaining here does very little good as all FTB does is maintain it. Any decisions about what gets added/removed as well as setting adjustments rests on the mindcrackers a lone. Same applies to the direwolf pack where direwolf20 has full control on what gets added/removed from it.

In fact the only FTB managed packs are the magic, lite, and tech packs as well as ultimate once it is released.
