Announcement: Hexbear Community Minecraft Server Coming Soon
Announcement: Hexbear Community Minecraft Server Coming Soon
EDIT: im creating a new post just for voting bc i did not have the proper information to share with you in order to cast an informed vote, now i know more abt the modpack
a user here was kind enough to host a server for all of hexbear (and lemmygrad too)! ill make an update post when the server is up, but in the meantime, dm me with your MC username bc the server will be using an allow-list. i will be vetting accts to ensure no wreckers join (sorry new users and lurkers, maybe we can figure out an alternate vetting process for you). ill be the middlewoman for the allow-list for optimum opsec, so the server owner will remain anonymous and i won’t share the association between HB usernames/MC username with the owner.
also, if ur interested, you can vote in the comments for whether the server should be vanilla+ (server-side mods only) or modded (both client- and server-side mods)
for vanilla+
for modded
voting will end in 3 days
EDIT: for those asking, yes it will be pirate friendly, and the modpack will be lightweight and “should run on a potato” according to the server owner
I forgot my old password and had to make a new account. Please i beg allow me to build this lenin statue that has been sitting on my hard drive for the last 5 years
If not me then someone please take this burden in my stead, I can create a schematic for it
can you shoot me a schematic of this
if not anything else, I atleast want Create and Valkyrien Skies.
and maybe ComputerCraft, but that's stretching it.
Valkyrien Skies
That sounds very taxing on lower end computers
on the players' computers? not so much.
on the server? oh boy
- Will this be pirate friendly or should I just bite the bullet and get a legit version?
just got confirmation it will be pirate friendly via a mod that asks for a password
Awesome thank you for checking
pirate friendly i believe
- Hell yeah been meaning to get back into Minecraft for a while now
Not gonna weigh in on vanilla+ vs modded as I doubt I'll play much, but I really recommended using Terralith for the worldgen (it's server-side only so it's vanilla compatible and if you all decide on modded it also has compatibility with almost all major structure mods) as it's genuinely phenomenal:
This seems very cool
I think you should pin a comment linking to the new post, and maybe link to it at the top of the post
There is also a major communist Minecraft server called the Gay Motherland. Here is a 3D server map.
can never get tired of vanilla
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
ThankyouThankyouThankyou~
Modded means we can add furniture right? Then
I like the idea of mods, there are quite a few I'd be game for, but also Java edition is held together with kite string and mods absolutely tank performance for people on lower end systems. I'd be playing on my shitbox laptop. If we did a huge modpack, I wouldn't be able to play
Edit: Changed my vote, I'm pro modded now. Now that I've seen what the modpack is, I can vouch that it's lightweight and shouldn't really be too much more difficult to run than Vanilla+. It's on a new enough version to support sodium+lithium and all those guy's stuff, and most of the mods are client side and make no difference. I fully support modded now
discussed with the server owner. modpack will be very lightweight
owner mentioned she was running server-side mods that improve performance but idk how much that would help you. this is def something we will take into consideration. idk yet but i might make the requirement for it to be modded like 2/3 of the votes. ill have to discuss w the owner and other mods tho. i want it to be as inclusive as possible, but if a huge majority of ppl want it to be modded i think that’s the way we’ll go. im sorry
Understandable, listen to the voice of the people, I'll never shame you for that. What kinda mods are you thinking about running? If I knew a modpack and could test it out I'd be less worried, but if it's something like ATM a lot of people will be left out due to computer issues. If it's a low performance hit modpack, I'd love to play modded more than vanilla+ so I fully get it. The only factor determining my vote right now is not knowing the mod pack's performance
everyone remember your vpn
I need to get a VPN again, I stopped paying for mine a while ago
I've never played Minecraft with multiple people on a server. Sounds interesting.
- vanilla is classic
/j response
modded with RLCraft to guarantee ALL our PC's run bad
vanilla vs modded depends on what mod's we'd be thinking...
it’ll likely be a create-based modpack. once we decide on whether it will be vanilla+ or modded we can discuss which modpack
In this house we love create
-
+1 For engineering modpacks. i haven't played since like 1.7 though
I would prefer to join on a pirate client but I will need guidance on how to register with whatever auth mod we're using
- Much as I'd really enjoy some heavy mods, I think it's more important to stay accessible as possible to other hexbears.
- mods sound fun but I can go either way.
:an-tifa:
- I haven't played up to date Minecraft in years, it would be fun to see what I've missed
Changing my vote, as much as i want a deeply modded experience, i think including as many comrades as possible should be priority
Yeah, like if they manage to keep the modpack lightweight enough, I'm totally down. I prefer the deeply modded experience, so my vote isn't coming from that preference. I don't think that the runners of the server will be able to make a pleasing modpack to everybody without making it unrunnable on weaker laptops. Nothing wrong with this, I don't want to make it seem like I'm saying anything bad about the people who would be running this server, because I think it's super cool that they're doing this in the first place and don't wanna sound like I'm trashing on them because I love them. It's just that they have so much they have to balance out, between all the different versions they could choose, the tons of mods that are extremely desirable but not performance friendly, but also the birth of Lithium and Sodium in future versions making that a possible route, albeit with a lot less mods. There's a lot they have to pick from doing a modpack. They don't just have to pick what mods they want, they have to pick between 3 different mod loaders with the benefits and downsides of them all, and all with different mods. While developing a Vanilla+ server would be much easier work. You could just grab plugins as you needed them, no deliberation on how it runs for other people or any of those issues.
I will also say this though, if I end up logging onto the modded server from my old-ish laptop and have no major performance issues, I'll totally eat my hat. If the people running this server manage to pull it off, I'd be super happy and impressed with a great low weight modpack I could play with other Hexbearers, sounds like the perfect gaming experience. Like if I didn't think it was just too much to ask of the great people running this server, my vote would probably be for modded, but I feel like an asshole requesting a lightweight modded experience with how poorly Minecraft is coded.
is it time for another 2 week minecraft obsession? I think so
Personally I love the idea of playing with mods (and with prism launcher it really isn't an issue for me) but vanilla+ is more accessible and I think more people will play so :an-tifa:
- been a while since i played the cube game. sure
- if only for compatibility. My only reservation with mods is whether they break forward compatibility significantly. But on the other hand, I'm not sure how much I care about forward compatibility.
i dont want to learn how to use another mod's systems.
mods would be fun but would have to be selected carefully so its not bloated and doesnt take a quantum computer to play lmao
i know im not hexbear but plea
also:
for those asking, yes it will be pirate friendly
hell yeah, although i wonder how does that work? just for a friend of course i would never dare to violate copyright law.
i think it involves server-side mods that ask you to set a username and password for the server. not sure tho, i dont have a lot of knowledge w MC servers
The username is set in the launcher.
The server is run in what's called "offline-mode" so that it doesn't contact mojang when someone tries to login. Then a plugin (at least on vanilla+ servers, I haven't run nodded) a plugin is used to make users type in a password.
I don't know, I haven't tried. But maybe something like https://github.com/Diegiwg/PrismLauncher-Cracked.
Re server location: likely Germany. Though I am not the owner so I don't know
also if you don't mind can you tell us the location of the server? cause i don't think the server would be playable for me if it's hosted somewhere like north america.
Only after M$ stole my account :(
Aw, I wish I could play Minecraft on my laptop.
My laptop is the potato of all potatoes. It was mid range when I got it...back in 2009.
