Season 1 Server Rules

Version 2 - May 18th, 2023

0. We trust you to be good
1. We are in the post-season; cross-mod progression rules are rendered null and void
2. Please choose one primary mod from the list below to progress in, and try to avoid progressing in the other primary mods
3. You are allowed to trade for anything, except
4. You may not trade for infrastructure used by other primary mods (e.g. Botania Mana generation, MI power generation)
5. You may trade for machines and contraptions from other primary mods, but
6. You may not automate the use of other primary mods' machines that you've traded for
7. Rules around cross-mod progression will only ever be loosened, and can be loosened with a good argument

Primary Mods

To try to avoid hardcore players taking over the server, please only progress in one of the following mods (for instance, please don't craft anything from one of the other mods).

A note on terminology - a medium progression tree is one of similar length to a thorough vanilla Minecraft. Medium power equipment is equivalent to top-tier vanilla equipment, and medium resource production is of similar productivity to a full set of vanilla renewable resource farms.

Botania

Botania is a magic themed mod that actually disguises a tech mod. You'll be building magical contraptions to generate Mana and automate farming and resource gathering.

This mod has a medium progression tree resulting in high power equipment and medium resource production.

Create

Create is a steampunk-esque mod where you build moving contraptions to farm plants, mine, and craft, all powered by gears, shafts, windmills, and steam engines.

This mod probably has a long progression tree resulting in low power equipment and medium resource production.

Gobber

Gobber is all about equipment, crafted using the eponymous Gobber ores. This equipment is, however, very powerful.

This mod has a short progression tree resulting in high power equipment and no (additional) resource production.

Miskatonic Mysteries

This mod is a Cthulhu-Mythos inspired magic mod. You'll be interacting with villagers and performing magical rituals.

This mod probably has a short progression tree resulting in medium power equipment and no (additional) resource production.

Modern Industrialization

Modern Industrialization is a GregTech inspired mod where you build large factories. It features early-game resource quarries but very little equipment until the endgame tiers.

This mod has a long progression tree resulting in high power equipment and high resource production.

Spectrum

Spectrum is a Thaumcraft-like magic mod focused around discovery and exploration.

This mod probably has a long progression tree resulting in high power equipment and medium resource production.

Technical Vanilla

We're counting progression into technical (vanilla) Minecraft as another mutually exclusive option. The following categories of vanilla mechanics are in this lockout category:

• farms involving portals moving mobs
• farms involving raid mechanics
• farms involving villagers (including automatic crop farms, iron farms, and void trading)
• heavy mob cap/mob spawning spaces manipulation (e.g. scaffolding and water type hostile mob farms, piglin farms near the nether ceiling, mob switches)
• bedrock breaking and nether roof access
• TNT duplication

This option has a medium progression tree resulting in medium power equipment and medium resource production. (By definition.)
