Minecraft Mods

[Geoff]

Has anyone played about with Minecraft mods? Particularly in a server environment?

[ZeroHour]

Yeh I have been working with Bukkit since it seems to have stabled out a bit.
Will get the list I have tried.

Yup, I've got a personal server and regularly have mods on it. RedPower, BuildCraft, IndustrialCraft, MystCraft and a bunch of others. I've not played with bukkit much - never had a multi-user server with more than a handful of people on it.

[Geoff]

Cool, I was thinking of running a server myself. I find vanilla MC a bit dull after playing it so much. So the plan is to have a modded server. I think if I go down the craftbukkit route I am limited to using it + it's plugins. Where as if I customise the jar/etc then I get more flexibility as to what I can run but generally minecraft hosting costs more for custom jars.

That reminds me, does anyone have hosting recommendations? Either specific Minecraft hosting or just general VPS hosting?

I use provisionhost for my minecraft server, pretty good so far. They give you a VPS for your MC host, with full root access.

[Geoff]

Yeah I'd prefer a VPS.

What mod do edugeek use which allows teleporting with /sethome /home /back and send player requests?

[Geoff]

I'd imagine the server is running bukkit.

Great mod the other server I've been playing in is using for minimap and way-points:
[1.2.5] [Jun.23] Rei's Minimap v3.2_04 - Minecraft Forum

[DMcGuigan]

I used to run a craftbukkit server from home for a few friends. Never had a shortage of mods.

We used:

World Edit
Command book (should handle sethome etc)
Towny
iConomy
iZones
Lockette
Rei's Minimap (beaten to the mark :P )
