What is commonly disabled in Multiplayer?

[Asphodan]

I've been derping around with Mystcraft for a week or two now, and I've got a pretty good hang of what should be disabled and what should not be.

I think I'd disable Nuclear-anything (Kabooms are bad.), and make Portal Guns not be found inside of chests.

Other than that, I can't think of anything that is destructive or intensive. Mystcraft age creation isn't much of a concern, I'm just fine for disc space. Soul Shards would have to be restricted, some how.

Other than that, can't think of a thing.

My friend's server doesn't use EE due to some of the more... broken recipes.

If his server was public I'm sure he'd have soul shards completely disabled. Probably Mystcraft, too.

What's so broken?

One thing I really, really like to be able to do is get all wool from any other wool.


Or turn Pig Zombie farm gold into Iron, that's always convenient.

I assume stuff like infinite blaze rods would be the reason. I wouldn't want to disable anything. Back in the days of Tekkit, I remember playing on servers where BuildCraft pipes were banned, lag, timers were banned, lag, blaze rods, due to infinite blaze machines, and so many other things that it was impossible to automate anything. As such I'd never ban any mod on my server because its more fun to let people do different things

We've informally banned Mystcraft age generation on ours, simply because the Age generation crashes the server if there's more than 5 of us online. But we don't ban items, we all know each other by name, so there's no need. Also we've changed the config files for chickenchunks chunk loaders to only load when their owners are online.

Personally, I think if the server can handle everything like SS,Chunk Loaders and so on, then nothing should be banned, why ruin other people's fun because you don't like it? I doubt you're running a competitive server so who cares if someone has infinite diamonds.

Don't become one of the servers that I saw regularly back in the days of EE2. There was literally maybe one or 2 items left from that entire mod that you ever saw on a Multiplayer server.

That depends on how public the server is and how well you trust it's inhabitants. With friends, I wouldn't disable anything, on a public server, I'd only disable griefing tools. On a competitive public server, well I couldn't really say, depends on the nature of the competition.

We have nothing disabled on my server. But I play with good friends, that I trust (and frankly I'm too lazy to try to run a server with strangers).

 

[Chocorate]

I'd honestly only ban explosion-making things. Or if I could, just turn explosions off so that people could still go Nuclear Power.

I wouldn't ban blaze rod duping or sawdust exploit or whatever that is. If someone wants to get ahead of everyone else, fine. If someone doesn't like that someone is "beating" them, dupe some stuff yourself. We're supposed to have fun with each other, not complain someone already has Q-suit in "A few hours".

Oh and I'd turn the gregtech configs to easy. God I hate that it's defaulted to hard..

XyCraft is usually banned, I think it is because some itens (all the actual machines - soil, water, valve, fabricator...) make the server lag and crash.
Wand of Equal Trade and Excavation are generally banned, too, possibly because of the fact that they can fool Towny protections.
MystCraft is also banned - too much lag.
And also: If I'm not mistaken, there are some servers that ban Turtles due to the fact that they surpass Towny.

If your server is whitelisted and you only play with friends you can trust, you'll all have a better experience and not have to disable anything. I've tried playing on a public server with controls in place to prevent griefing, and they really cripple the game experience in a lot of ways. Best to disable nothing and just work things out cooperatively with the other players if problems arise.
