With the recent outcomes of the stability of updates. every minor update has resulted in some type of issue whether it is chunk corruption or player data corruption even down to sever instability. my main goal is stability. we all like alot of mods and gives us for more stuff to me. issue is that when you have alot of mods (202 mods on dns) the more variables you throw in the equation for stuff to go wrong, this is why the issues happen and instability happens. no matter how much testing i do before the update there always seems to be some issue that causes catastrophic failing within the server which is where you get you TPS Drops, time outs, and random restarts.
With all this said i am putting up a vote to make a change, change being do we stick with DNS or do we go with a more developed mod that has less issues this mod being Tekkit. i think tekkit would be a choice that we can do good with, with this community. it is a lighter mod pack that dns (about 120 mods less) it skims out some of the un-necessary mods but we loose mods such as magic, mickinism, ederIO. we have been testing this mod out for a few days now and you are all welcome to test it, the ip and port will be listed below. Tekkit is lighter and would run much smoother raising TPS and reducing server crashes.
If voted for i will to the switch over on the 19th of January. and dns will go into hybernation. if you do not want to lose your stuff (block data) i will pull chunk data and allow your chunk (only your chunk) to yourself to glory to on your single player dns server
I have also thrown in another pack this one is similar to DNS and is called Test Pack Please Ignore and you can also log into this server using the ip and port below. please review these servers and give me honest input!
Below is the Launcher for both tekkit and TPPI
