Most people if not almost everyone doesn't remember or even know about when Minetime had a FTB server back about 5 years back. While it was fun back then it, one of the reasons it failed was due to not having plugins, permissions, or a way to control players. But now with Sponge many different mod packs and types not can work side to side with plugins. This means that Pixelmon can be set up with specific donor ranks for just that server, have specific plugins and setup to make it unique for Minetime, and to stand out from other Pixelmon servers itself. What is nice is that the pack is easily available to launch from Forge 1.12.2, ATLauncher, and Technic. Now as reading the previous sentence yes the Pixelmon mod is for 1.12.2 currently and not backwards compatible. It means you'd have to join Minetime or server directly with 1.12.2. Now don't fear, for those of you wondering about whether you'd be able to use hacks you will with any 1.12.2 hack client that has a forge version. Currently Future (Paid), Skillclient (Free), Aristois (Donor version and Free), and virtually any 1.12.2 Forge compatible client will be able to work with the mod pack with no hitch. You can also get a mini-map just to help out if wanted. Now this would be up to the staff main @xBMAN @Pile and @Matthew to decide whether it would happen to not, I think it'd be great to add some diversity and new game type and style to Minetime. Obviously it doesn't have to be Pixelmon but its one of the few mods with compatibility for Buycraft, Crates, Essentials, Permissions, World Edit, and World Guard(Besides other official pixelmon sidemods/plugins). ***EDIT*** ***EDIT*** There are clients that run on forge 1.12.2 for FREE and paid ones are well. There is also ANTICHEAT for Pixelmon
I think that would be pretty cool, fun, unique, and entertaining because it would be a new gametype to an old server and an old mod pack. All though I doubt this will be a thing I definitely think it would be cool!
YES! ABSOLUTELY, THIS IS A WONDERFUL IDEA! I WILL SUPPORT THIS A MILLION TIMES OVER. I'm sorry but yes Modded Minetime sounds fun af.
No support, we don't really have much of a server population as it is, we should focus on what we have now this would be a waste of time, effort and money to set up. If anything we should be getting rid of gamemodes than adding them. Pixelmod server's aren't even exactly big any more anyway, why waste any effort when it will only attract current players and once the hype is gone become an inactive server. We already are focusing on adding mini games which seems to be delayed even further and futher, also resetting op and prison. This on top of it all will just become chaotic. Sorry if this sounds blunt but this is not going to happen it will just be a waste of resources when we should be focusing on maximising our current offering.
Although I do respect your opinion what minetime has now clearly isn't going to help the server situation much so why not try something new? Secondly removing gamemodes is going to help the server how? Say we remove factions, then we lose the 16 players that like factions. If you want more players you gotta attract them some how, and I'm not saying we should add a million gamemodes, I'm just saying this is a cool new idea, and minetime needs change...
I actually have been going through the Pixelmon communities and there are networks with 1k+ easily. As for mini games with Matt doing it out of generosity we can’t expect him to just finish Bed wars over night or in a week since he isn’t paid to be doing it. Also with minigames one of the issues is people not wanting to play them when there are hackers which with Minetime never going to be Antihackers it won’t be as successful as it could be. Plus hackers when in those mini game type game modes usually go on servers who don’t allow hacking just for the advantage and ease which on Minetime wouldn’t be a case. As how I do see your stance having game modes that aren’t played as much anymore like Prison OP Factions KitPvP etc just is dying out in general as they can’t be changed since the more vocal members of the community don’t want the original game play to change instead of adding and completely changing up the game mode which would help out a lot.
No Support it just wouldn't fit in and how would you incorporate modified clients (hacks) onto the server
Cool suggestion but never ever going to happen. Minetime doesn't have enough players and even decent sized servers wouldn't do it They're dead servers. Factions has 0 players or 3 AFK ones. Losing them won't mean anything and will spare resources i guess?? Idk if this is true but Minetime started off as PvpFest then branched out right? We should return to one or a few core servers and dedicate everything on them like prison (I'm not a prison person at all but it has the most people) Obviously some people aren't going to like it but I think having a good few servers is better than 10 sparsely populated one.
I dont see why not? Pixelmon is a super fun mod and especially when you play it with people you sort of know! Support!
