Server mods you consider necessary

[ShneekeyTheLost]

So, there was a thread somewhere or another about mods that you considered 'core', this is more about servers. I'm going to be doing a private server with a few close friends, and I'm wondering what sort of server mods might be nice to have.

OPIS, of course. That's just simple. Also, the backup mod... forgot what that was, though. Maybe Morpheus for the sleep-voting thing.

Anything else you'd suggest?

Aroma Backup? I think that's the name?

Correct.

I personally find that Tabbychat is amazing for servers on client-side, and obviously Journeymap Server serverside if you've got clients with Journeymap.

FastCraft if its not a default in the pack of choice. Free performance boost.

Sampler from the spoiler in the FastCraft thread. Best low level profiler IMO, VisualVM compatible snapshot file format.

TickProfiler for at a glance performance debugging rather than waiting on Opis which also has a larger performance impact.

AdminCommandsToolbox for chunk pre-generation.

AromaBackup and JourneyMap were already mentioned.

Why Jmap instead of MapWriter, which comes natively with OPIS?

I feel that Journeymap gives a much more diverse client-side experience than Mapwriter, with Waypoints you can see in-word, the mob radar, and the amount of configurability it allows.

Ahh, these are things I explicitly don't want. So no loss there.

Aroma Backup

Problem is that Aroma Core needs to be on the client as well. An alternative would be Server Tools.

If your clients have NEI then the server should also have it.

Möbius may be the most underrated server mod going. Only 50% of people need to sleep to pass night. I'm not even sure what else it does, but that feature alone is worth all the diamonds above bedrock.

Do you mean Morpheus?

Yes. Yes I do.

Interesting suggestions so far. ForgeEssentials seems to be geared more to public servers and preventing griefers, which isn't as big a problem since I personally know everyone who is going to be whitelisted for this server, so this is less of a problem. ServerTools is interesting, also has a backup module so I don't need to bother with AromaCore and AromaBackup. I think ServerTools has pretty much everything I need, more concerned with performance, backing up, and fixing world-corruption crashes, that sort of thing. Also monitoring and handling tic rate and other server metrics.
