friend Minecraft server vision & stuff because i'm thinking about it
I seriously wanna just put together a big modded Minecraft server to invite all my friend groups to so i can observe whether they do or don't mesh and also just,, to play Minecraft with them LMAO
the mods wouldn't be like completely game-altering and some will be pretty easy to learn (or avoid if you don't want to learn them), but there's obviously gonna be ones like Ice & Fire and Origins that do add unavoidable difficulty to the game but Minecraft is still Minecraft, but i also wanna say no discord vcs (altho there probably will have to be a discord server) allowed and use the proximity chat mod
basically just use my usual vanilla + modpack to make the game interesting enough to keep my tryhard friends (okay there's ONE SPECIFIC DUDE who's the kinda player who finds a village and tears down a mountain to make a billion farms (he did that on another server)) from getting bored of the game and have motivation to work together and figure out how different mods work and maybe create a cool village together
well maybe i'll add some harder mods than my usual vanilla+ stuff cause' ofc there's tryhards
anyway i'd say opening day of the server i'd try to find a day and time frame where most of my friends will be able to play and work together to make a little welcome area for joining players as a way to introduce each other, and then from then on anyone can join at any time and maybe there can be little events or meet ups just to hang out or raid a dragon's nest
i wonder if there's a mod to add preferred pronouns next to usernames... there probably is, cause' i have a lot of queer friends and i'd rather there not be any bad first impressions because of misgendering
obviously there's going to be rules n' stuff, like, there's this "play as a dragon!" mod i wanna include, but wanna make it a rule that you cannot choose an origin if you choose to be a dragon, (luckily part of the mod is this craftable block to become a player or different dragon if you change your mind, ima probably keep an origin orb on me for whoever does that and wants to choose an origin instead of being a dragon) and there's this exploit with the play as a dragon mod i wanna limit the usage of,, like, no intentionally using the exploit but if it happens it happens, obviously no griefing each other's builds, don't steal anything too valuable, ect.
plus since like, i'm the one who owns the server, no nerves when going to the owner of the server for problems or some bug or mod suggestions, because that's me and i'm inviting exclusively friends
i just hope if this does happen there's no problems because i fr fr wanna introduce all my friends it's just that everyone has a different sense of humor LMAO
