]]>The post Forgebukkit Project likely dead and its impact on the server appeared first on Techworld.
]]>Tekkit relies on the mods to be Tekkit. These mods are ported over through Forge to be Bukkit compatible. However, for each new Bukkit update over 100 hours of work are required by the Forgecraft team to get Forgebukkit up to date. This could be circumvented if the Bukkit maintainers agreed to work with the Forgebukkit team, but this will not happen in the near future, so that the Forgebukkit Project has been unofficially declared “dead”.
There are discussions on separating Forge completely from Bukkit, but Tekkit servers rely on Bukkit plugins such as Permissions or anti-griefing plugins. It would be quite a challenge to run a server of this size without these tools.
Future of Tekkit
What the Forgebukkit team is planning now is to separate from Bukkit itself and becoming independent, since it is unlikely that Bukkit will ever cooperate with the Forgebukkit team. We will keep you guys updated, as we get more clarification form the Tekkit devs.
What this means for the server
Initially, we planned to do a server reset when the Tekkit updates. Though the Tekkit updates were constantly delayed, due to important mods not being updated etc. This announcement by the Forgebukkit team is probably going to set everything back by weeks again. For this reason, the long anticipated reset will take place over the weekend.
As discussed and voted by the community, the map will reset. This will mean that all the towns and your inventory will disappear. This will solve the “no space to build” issue and will allow for every one to make a clean start once again. Unused machines will be gone and tick rate issues will be gone.
We know that some players will be disappointed to hear that their hard work will be gone, but please take this as an opportunity to make a new start. The reset will give the opportunity for you to start new towns with new players and make new friends. It has been a while since we had a reset (May 2012), which is why we believe that a new map will keep things interesting again.

]]>There are some quite interesting additions to this version of Tekkit. One of it is probably the Transporter compatibility, which would allows us to connect the PvP server and the Tekkit server through portals. To clarify, you could walk through a portal at spawn and end up in the Tech Wars server.
We may add more servers to take advantage of this, which could be running on a different machine to offload CPU strain, therefore expanding the size of the worlds, while still keeping it relatively lag free.

]]>The post 10,000 Members! appeared first on Techworld.
]]>Techworld started out as a small private server for a couple friends who wanted to try out Tekkit. Soon though, it went public to allow for more people to join and play Tekkit with the best experience possible, for free! We’re glad to say that this has been achieved and would also like to thank our donors, who made this possible in the first place. Without them, we would not be able to sustain the immense costs of running a server fast enough to simultaneously support nearly 100 players.
Thank you for your continued support and happy Crafting! We’ll be sure to have some more fun events (We already hosted The Walls Map yesterday and the 3rd Hunger Games Map. Sorry to those who couldn’t attend)

]]>The post Tech Wars PvP Server appeared first on Techworld.
]]>
It will not have Tekkit installed, however, much of the functions of the Techworld server exist. Instead of Towny we now have Factions. You can found a faction for 500 credits. With your faction, you can ally or declare war on other factions.
The server has:
- An economy system
- Showcases, enabling you to have a shop
- mcMMO – Gather experience, level your treecutting, fishing skills etc.
- It is a Medieval Roleplay themed server – so please build your houses accordingly
- VIP, VIP+ and Elite ranks will carry over with the same abilities, obviously except for CC access.
- Factions can be formed. Wars can be declared. Alliances can be established.
You can join now with your Tekkit 3.0.3 client, or with your Vanilla Minecraft 1.2.5 client. There’s no whitelist with no need to apply, so what are you waiting for?

]]>The post Now using a Greylist appeared first on Techworld.
]]>What is a greylist?
A greylist allows anyone to join the server, but they cannot build or chat. This means that they can explore the server in first-person and make up their mind about wanting to join the server.
If they wish to gain full membership, they will still have to apply, just like with a whitelist. The whitelist application form will merely be renamed to ‘Membership application form’.
Why use a greylist?
We hope this gives new players a better chance to see the server, as many would hesitate to write a long application for a server they have never really been on.
New Players will be ranked Guest and won’t be able to chat or build. They can, however, teleport to other towns and view them.
Will this my gameplay experience?
Furthermore, if the maximum slot limit is reached and a Member joins, a player ranked Guest will be selected randomly and kicked to make space. This means, that players looking around will not affect other players in any way, and server performance will be thus unaffected.
My whitelist application got accepted, but I’m still Guest
Please post below, with the link to your approved application. A staff member will promote you as soon as possible. You unfortunately fell through the cracks of the transition.
