NEW SERVER, The cauldron of myths now open!
server ip: 73.35.66.105
Required Links:
- Forge (any 1.7.10 build would do but I recommend the latest) found here:
http://files.minecraftforge.net/
- My Mods folder found here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/4dhy7th2fe59vey/mods.rar
- The mods in the folder within the rar go into the .minecraft/mods folder (On windows, you'll have to google the Mac equivalent, sorry. I think it is Library->Application Support->minecraft->mods but it has been forever since I did it on a mac)
- BOTH OF THE TWO ABOVE STEPS MUST BE MADE IN ORDER TO JOIN! Without the mods you obviously can't play
a server with the mods and without Forge, you obviously can't use mods period. Now for the welcome info!
Hello there visitor! A little bit about myself.
For those who do not know me, my name is Ian though I go by MythicCynic in MineCraft and a few forums. I have run several minecraft servers over the past three years and am pretty proficient in configuring plugins and server stuff. I am a Computer Science Major (OK, well technically pre-major, I won't be actual major status until Summer 2015 after I get that pesky physics 2 out of the way) so I know my way around computer systems pretty well and sometimes participate in CTFs (online hacking competitions) with others for fun.
Now for the part you are really here for,
What is the Cauldron of Myths?
Well, it's funny you should ask. Basically I just came up with the name right now as I started editing this old site. Basically this is a Cauldron server which is sort of like a combination of Forge and Bukkit (Forge and Spigot technically but spigot works using a lot of Bukkit's code and with their APIs so..."pota(y)to, pota(h)to"). This means we can have both mods and plugins AT THE SAME TIME! Pretty awesome right?! This means that not only can the server feature additional mobs and blocks not in the normal game but I can have chat formatting and ease of use tools through Essentials or rollbacks via CoreProtect. The map is essentially a blank Canvas at the moment so there is not really any spawn right now but it is meant to be fun. The server is primarily for people to be in survival and have fun but depending on who I like that may change (probably not, but maybe).
How about a few bullet points about the server for a lot of info in the quickest way?

- - The server is run on my own computer over my own internet connection
- - That means that while not as many people can join and uptime may not be as great, I can configure/fix things more easily
- - An added bonus of this is no server cost, so no pestering for donations or ranks for donors and etc. Everyone is pretty much equal
- - The server is set to use UP TO 5Gb of RAM, it shouldn't have any problems as far as computation is concerned
- - This is the THIRD server I am opening up to the public
- - NO, YOU MAY NOT BE AN ADMIN. I don't even really have staff positions set up as it is kind of irrelevant here.
- - You MUST be playing with a 1.7.10 build of FORGE and you MUST have all of the mods in the folder I link to here in order to join
- - This is not so much a "rule" as it is that the server simply will not let you connect if those conditions are not met.
- - If I ADD a mod, you will need to add it as well in order to join again otherwise the server will not let you join.
- - If I REMOVE a mod you don't need to worry, you can join even if you have mods the server doesn't so long as you have ALL of the mods that the server DOES have. Note that extra mods will not function on the server though, unless I add them to the server.
