[CAM]

I don't trust the public lists, too much hacker bait. Any tips?

[bladedanny]

[LiamH]

If you want to play on a tekkit server i have one you can play on.

[bwestlake]

[CAM]

[bushby]

I run a tekkit server, I have posted the details on another forum I frequent.

[LiamH]

Tekkit is minecraft + a few mods, but you can download a client that includes all the mods in one file so its bit easier especially with all the client mods needed.

Wow, Tekkit has a lot of rather big addons.

[LiamH]

Thanks, just asked to be whitelisted

Is the EduGeek one still running?

Just to clarify - Tekkit is the spawn of satan, as it originally basically ripped off a pile of mods without permission from the mod owners. By them now being in there, they are denying those mod-creators income as most mod-creators use ad.fly or the like to generate some income.

 

For servers - try tuning into some of the more popular twitch.tv minecraft channels, some of them have servers. For example, zeekdageek has a PVP raiding server that's free (but you can pay to get extras).

[LiamH]

Tekkit is fully supported by all the mod authors now. To the point where they actively work together to integrate the mods better with each other.

 

I think originally there was a bit of an issue with 2 of the mod makers (forestry and better than wolfs), one mod maker coded malicious code into his mod (forestry) while the other was pulled.

Er no.

 

Tekkit didn't get permission for all of the mods (and still doesn't). Which caused forestry to be coded by Sengir to be incompatible and therefore removed from the current version of Tekkit. Tekkit is stuck on Minecraft 1.2.5 and there is no prospect for versions beyond that. So it's basically a dead end.

Why is nobody EVER on the Edu server?

I'd be on there, but I've gone through a 'meh, Minecraft' period. I'll likely be on there again at some point.

[fairm010]

I agree... Sometimes I realise what a time waste it is, then go back to it in eager! Hope to see you there soon, it looks really cool but no idea what to do there!

[ZeroHour]

Pretty much the same as Localz, I will be back on it soon, just had a lot on with server setups etc lately.

[DMcGuigan]

I got locked out of Minecraft last night, didn't know about this Mojang account stuff. Got it all fixed now though, so you may see me on the 'Geek server in coming days.

Is Minecraft really that good? I find $45 for anything written in java a bit steep however people do seem to rave about it.

It is that good. I paid £10 for it though. And its $45? According to the site, it is £17.95, which is $28ish. Do you pay a different price there then?
