in the announcement post for this, i lacked critical information regarding the mods. the modpack being used is Create Extra, which appears to be mostly performance, minor aesthetic, and QOL mods. it shouldn’t result in a performance decrease compared to vanilla
if you want to check out the mods contained in the modpack, here is a link
so again, the options are vanilla+ (server-side mods only) or modded (server- and client-side mods)
for vanilla+
for modded
voting will end Monday, Aug 5 at 5 PM UTC (1 PM EST)
sorry for the confusion
also this server will be pirate-friendly
how are mods inherently less valid than a game made from whole cloth? the difference is murky at best and nonexistent at worst. you are aware that a large amount of games STARTED as mods for other games, right?
if someone made a mod that was it's own entire story using the Half-Life 2 engine, why does that just randomly stop being valid even though using an existing game engine to make a game is literally what the majority of "original" games (which are what you apparently think are "less consumerist" somehow) do
