Today’s game is Minecraft. Specifically Attack of The B-Team. Growing up I had a specific fondness for this mod-pack after seeing a YouTuber I liked play a whole series of it. If I had to pick 3 mods/mod-packs that caught my attention before I owned Minecraft this would probably be at the top, followed by Digimobs, and then Pixelmon (for a while I also had a soft spot for Hexxit too).
I actually set this up as a server for me and my friends. It took a little more work since it’s Minecraft 1.6.4, but I got there. The first issue I ran into is Java 8 wouldn’t work. Then the server wasn’t loading the right world type. I ended up figuring out I was launching the wrong jar file. I was launching Forge, while I needed to be launching BTeam.jar.
After that though I got it all setup. It’s nice to be playing this again. This is my ideal “classic mod-pack” and playing it’s like a rush of nostalgia.
I didn’t play long, as setting up the server ate up most of my free time but once I did get it set up I made a bee line for somewhere and started building a house too live in. Once I get back on, just having somewhere safe to live will be nice.
Epic! I just set up a Vintage Story server yesterday myself. Same story, setting up the server took a while and we didn’t get to play that much. It’s up now though, and setting up a different game on that dedicated server should be take a lot less time, Administering Fedora Server through Cockpit has been very chill so far.
Look, it’s so tiny! It’s a HP ProDesk 600 G2 Mini (i5-6500t, 16GB en 480GB SSD). I let it pregen 1000 chunks outward this night so exploring wouldn’t tax the CPU as much, because I thought that would be a weak spot :).
