For Vincent players: is it fine if we start Vincent up with almost no mods (no rails, farming machines, logic gates, etc.) temporarily?
TL;DR of previous discussion(s) and snippets from conversations. Vincent server code needs to be completely rewritten for 1.x. Which means SK needs to sit down and spend quite a bit of time on that. Which also means it would take time away from other things, such as Plume, Alice, and possibly Sponge. Vincent was using Bukkit I believe?
I am patient enough to wait for all our cool server-side mods to come back, but it will take a while. The /most important mods/ in my opnion are the enderpearl functions and the rails.
Vincent is VANILLA !!!! F mods since i didn't use them a lot anyway except the enderpearl teleport to the spawn and home.
Im just worried that if we do run vincent temporarilly without craftbook and co, all machines built using will be broken when (or if) we do return to the slightly modded aspect of Vincent. I think we also need to discuss if we will refresh vincent for 1.9. (New Map)
tbh we haven't run a permanent vanilla server since like Minecraft Alpha, and we ran vanilla for only like a day. I plan to re-add rails first probably. It's pretty critical. I already rewrote the Enderpearl stuff, but not the MapPad stuff yet.
If the map will be old, I'd rather wait. In order not to then recover the underground etc. If the new map (1.9)... will probably also better to wait.
As long as we have rail and epearls, I think we could wait patiently for the rest of the stuff to be fixed.
I use craftbook pretty heavily, but if it doesn't break anything, and will eventually return to normal, then I'm fine with starting it back up without Craftbook enabled/installed. Setting up those pipes and ICs again... I am not looking forward to doing that again. It's fun... but agonizing. Will ICs still work once Craftbook and the other mods are re-added? I'd also love a fresh start. Even though I love my factory, it'd be nice to be able to start over with a clean slate. Not to mention more resources and area to build in... My evil nice and friendly corporation will rule the world produce obscene amounts of smooth stone slabs!
CraftBook has to be rewritten anyway, so when it comes back, it might work pretty similarly but not quite the same. I don't maintain CraftBook myself anymore and haven't for many years, so I can't say for certain. We'd probably consider a fresh start for MC 1.9. No point resetting the world early if we'd need to reset again so soon due to world gen changes.
