I will host a whitelisted Devouring Darkness 2 server for the next 3-6
months for players who want to play together.

Modpack:

Typically our gaming group collectively builds a small “Spawn” base for safety and early game food. Then each of us will pack our bags and head off into the wilderness to create our own base. Please treat the spawn base with respect as it’s a shared resource. Refill what you take before you leave.

I plan to participate in securing an early game spawn base, and then I’ll depart to make my own. Others are welcome to stay, share, and upgrade spawn if they can work together.

Our group tends to enjoy civilizing a continent. We’ll want to collaborate on projects to link everyone’s bases with roads, nether routes, and trade. Mail service in-game is provided.

The last DD server is nearly 2 years old!

I’ll be playing on the new server, but the same rule applies. Both servers will remain up until no one logs in for 90 days. Archives of the save can be made available on request.

Might I suggest upgrading from FTB Utilities to
GitHub - GTNewHorizons/ServerUtilities ,
Its a backport of the ftb Utilities from 1.12.2 with some nice enhanced features.
it should also copy any settings from ftb utilities and implement them.
The only thing that wont work is the Journeymap Integration but everything else should work fine.

Not a bad idea. I know many of the mods I use also have GTNH forks. So far I only replace them if they have a problem. It’d be significant testing to replace them all.

If I had to start over, I’d use Bear’s Java20 test pack and layer on mods.

I have a question, where is the server hosted? I can connect to the server quite fast, but I am also playing on another server hosted in Italy and I cannot reliably connect to that server. I first thought that the unreliable connection is due to my location, but after experiencing little network issue on this server, I begin to suspect that there is a specific problem with the Italian server.

DD and DD2 servers are hosted in NL.

Also, animals protect themselves. Damage a pig, all pigs nearby aggro you. Fun!

So I’m going to try to wall in the spawn base, although I don’t know how well this is going to work, considering the fact that there is a river passing through
(also my ocd made me organize the chests at spawn base a bit, hope my sorting makes sense)
(also also is there a discussion thread for DD2? or is it here? or is it the same as the DD1 thread?)

Spawn could use some upgrades. I stayed there only a few days to prep a food source before I left to make my own base. Do as you please. =]

The river was required for security. Water is one of the easiest ways to protect yourself. I did put a safety tower at the 0,0 mark, but it’s not suitable for a base.

You have a good point, I opened a discussion thread.
