I'm pretty sure this will be considered an invalid suggestion, which is why this is not in the suggestions section of the forums.

EDIT: Feed the Beast is a collection of pretty much the best mods made for minecraft. Go to feed-the-beast.com for more details. Here is an excerpt from the site:
Spoiler:
Feed the Beast, also known as FTB, originated as a custom challenge map in Minecraft that made heavy use of multiple tech mods. It played very similar to a type of map known as Sky Block, where the player is started in a void world with only a small platform, and must overcome a series of challenges. Because FTB included tech mods, it was possible to use the various custom blocks and items to keep track of the challenges and the player's progress, as well as automatically give awards after each challenge was met.

The map was then adapted to allow multiple players to compete against each other in a race to complete the objectives. This version gained large popularity after being live-streamed on Twitch.TV with Direwolf20 vs Nearbygamer, both very well known users of the mods included in the map.

As the map was released to the public, it became apparent that it was very difficult to distribute the map file, mods, and configuration settings to those interested in playing it. At some point a decision was made to combine all of the mods into an easily distributable pack, as well as create a launcher that would stream-line installation.

The map went through various iterations, including the bedrock map - known for the challenge and reward structure made of bedrock. However most players that refer to the FTB map, truly mean the pyramid map, known for its large basalt pyramid that included various rooms that listed a set of items the player had to create in order to solve each challenge. That version was then updated to a harder version, known as FTB Insanity, which took many players 50 to even over 100 hours of play time to fully complete.


Basically, it started out as a custom map that used many mods, and became so popular that it is now referred to as the pack with all of those mods. I'm NOT referring to FTB as a map for Intelli to host as a world. This suggestion is simply asking to generate a new world with the FTB modpack, preferrably Ultimate (in my opinion), but that is up to Staff if they decide to do so :). If you want more information, just go on youtube and search for one of the hundreds of reviews of FTB.


I've been looking for a good feed the beast server for a while now, and when I say good I mean one that is completely legit and lag-free. The closest I've been able to find is one that is almost legit (you can still get items through voting for the server) and lag-free in general but with terrible constant block lag. I don't think a server like the one I'm looking for exists, or can be easily found, because the ones which show up when you search anywhere are simply the ones with the most votes, which suggests that there is a voting benefit. And I doubt highly that any server out there has a system similar to the realm system, which seems to me to work much, much, better than Towny, which almost every FTB server out there has.

I realize that Intelli cannot simply create a new server, from looking at the old finance reports that he used to put up a lot of the money needed to simply run vanilla survival is either coming out of his pocket or the advertisements.




So, I will suggest a new and completely different system that will only apply to the FTB server if accepted. There will be voting and donor benefits, however not in the form of items, but in the form of credits. Some small amount that will add up to be substantial if you constantly vote. With a tax from buying realms and transactions with other players, there will still be a substantial credit sink, but will promote people to vote for the server. These votes will only apply to the FTB server. As for donator benefits, donating on main or FTB will give the player the benefit on FTB, and I can't think of an FTB-related donator benefit so if someone could think of one that would be great :3

The forums will be the same main site but in a different section, maybe minerealm.com/community/ftb? so that the ads on the site will generate more revenue to run the server.

Of course, if Intelli feels that this will draw more players in just from his usual advertisement techniques, there is no need to implement this system xD. But as long as there are no constant messages being broadcast asking people to vote or stating that someone has just voted, only a sign at spawn infoming new players about voting benefits, I would not mind this at all.

Please vote and tell me what you think. If you just want some minor changes to the system please vote yes, if you think the system should be completely changed please vote the third option, and don't vote no >:). Thanks for taking the time to read this <3

Not really... if the realm system will protect ALL the blocks then that's maybe 5 lines of codes :P. And then for every block you don't want it to protect, like levers or buttons, that's 1 line of code each.

This reminds me, though, that there are some things FTB-only that cause lag, such as mystcraft ages. If every player creates one, this would basically shut the server down, which actually brings up a great donator benefit which I can't believe I forgot to put xD. Every donor should be able to have 1 mystcraft age, maybe more? This is just a general suggestions, the specifics will obv be decided by Intelli/staff

Can't edit but I meant to say "If you want some minor changes please post here and vote yes" xD

I'm saying that because the main point of this suggestion is simply that we have another server for FTB, the system is just part of the suggestion that is really secondary. The voting is simply for if you want the second server or not, and the third option is if you want one but you feel strongly that something is wrong with the general idea of the system that I thought of :3.

Sorry for the double post :/

Most servers I've seen can handle about 100 players, but of course there could be a small cap at the start, it's all up to staff. But most average servers I've seen handle 35-40 players easily, and the large server of course have over 200. Outside of coding, I have no idea how feed the beast compares with vanilla in terms of resources to run a server, but I think it will be manageable.









Don't want to double post so I'm going to put this here since I can't edit my main topic:

I feel like I didn't go into detail about FTB, so here are a couple of tutorials I've found that go in depth about different mods. These are the best I could find so far, so here they are. I haven't watched them completely through, so if they have foul language I apologize, but I don't think there is any. These videos are for the Mindcrack pack, which is slightly different. A great comparison of all the packs can be found here.

First and in my opinion the BEST mod: Industrial Craft 2. This introduces energy into the game, which I love and just can't get enough of, since I'm a redstone person xD. I would play with only IC2 if I couldn't have any of the other mods, it's really quite amazing and very in-depth.

My second favorite mod is Thaumcraft 3, which is amazing simply because it's all about magic, and who doesn't want that? :D

And these are a few other mods that I haven't delved into yet but are very important in advancing forward in the game in general:

I'm afraid that it would cause strain on the main server, and while I don't have anything against FTB, MineRealm was created to be vanilla, and creating a MineRealm FTB server would

1. Waste resources,
2. Draw players away from the main server, and
3. Go against MineRealm's core principles.

So no.
