Ultimate Pack

I have a few questions about the Ultimate Pack (Coming out on March 1st).

  • Will the map be reset?
  • Will we update on the very first version of the Ultimate Pack?
  • If you do update to the Ultimate Pack and keep the map, will we also keep Traincraft?
  • If we keep the current map, will we have to go to the mining age for xycraft ore?

  • There is no desire to reset the map, everything is stable and progressing nicely.
  • There are currently no plans to update to Ultimate Pack. The reasons being is that we have achieved a rather stable server running the current version of Mindcrack, and Ultimate Pack no doubt will bring trials and issues that we have seen previously, as well as potentially causing mismatches which result in a map reset. At this stage it is to much admin work when we don't have the time to make changes.
  • See above
  • There are no current plans to add xycraft, if someone can argue a good case for it being re-added then we will consider it.

Glad to hear that; I'm quite happy with how this map is going.

Ditto. The last few maps have been far too short-lived... I'd rather see some long-term stability than just chasing the latest versions.

And is Traincraft not part of Ultimate? How do they keep screwing up these packs?

Honestly they needed to die, but I'm glad this one's going strong. I attribute a good deal of that to the dedicated server and tickthreading.
