Question about bukkit vs modded vanilla server.

Hello. I have some newbie questions about running a modded server.

 

I have run the vanilla server as well as a standard tekkit server, for myself and some friends.

 

Now I feel like I want to take the next step and create my own mix of mods. I am interested in the tekkit style of mods, with pipes and machines, but I would like some more freedom in choosing which mods to use and perhaps be able to get some updates quicker.

 

I know there is the vanilla server, that you can mod much the same as you mod your client, and then there is bukkit which has it's own system of plugins. What are the pros and cons here? From what I can tell, and I might be wrong, it's something like this.

 

bukkit:

pro: lots of tools for spawn, teleportation, anti-grief.

con: not all mods are ported to bukkit.

 

I've only played with close friends until now, but server is a bit empty sometimes so I've been considering opening up and maybe having some anti-grief functionality is a good thing.

 

So to sum up, I guess I'm just looking for some insights into where to start and what kind of server is recommended?

I'd use vanilla, it's much easier.

Bukkit is about the same, but there are headaches with mods, sooo...

I'll leave you to pick.

So, what would happen if I did push that shiny red button over there? ... Really? ... Can I try it? ... Damn.

Hey, thanks for the replies. I'll probably go with a vanilla server then, and just not invite strangers. Yes, bonum is latin for good I believe, perhaps the base of the word bonus? But I got it from the name of a potato. :)

 

When looking for mods for bukkit, the forestry download page sent me to somewhere I saw something about porting:

      updateShape functionality deep dive

      By Sandermall · Posted

      Hello all. I'm currently grappling with the updateShape method in a custom class extending Block.  My code currently looks like this: The conditionals in CheckState are there to switch blockstate properties, which is working fine, as it functions correctly every time in getStateForPlacement.  The problem I'm running into is that when I update a state, the blocks seem to call CheckState with the position of the block which was changed updated last.  If I build a wall I can see the same change propagate across. My question thus is this: is updateShape sending its return to the neighbouring block?  Is each block not independently executing the updateShape method, thus inserting its own current position?  The first statement appears to be true, and the second false (each block is not independently executing the method). I have tried to fix this by saving the block's own position to a variable myPos at inception, and then feeding this in as CheckState(myPos) but this causes a worse outcome, where all blocks take the update of the first modified block, rather than just their neighbour.  This raises more questions than it answers, obviously: how is a different instance's variable propagating here?  I also tried changing it so that CheckState did not take a BlockPos, but had myPos built into the body - same problem. I have previously looked at neighbourUpdate and onNeighbourUpdate, but could not find a way to get this to work at all.  One post on here about updatePostPlacement and other methods has proven itself long superceded.  All other sources on the net seem to be out of date. Many thanks in advance for any help you might offer me, it's been several days now of trying to get this work and several weeks of generally trying to get round this roadblock.  - Sandermall

      crash dump

      By djdoyle1556 · Posted

      sorry, I might be stupid, but how do I open it? because the only options I have are too X out, copy it, which doesn't work and send crash report, which doesn't show it to me, also, sorry for taking so long.

      BUG: Cactus Flower Placement is BROKEN

      Can you reproduce this with version 55.0.21? A whole lot of plant placement issues were just fixed in this PR.

      java.lang.IllegalStateException: Pose stack not empty

      By KenshinSpirit · Posted

      Necro'ing that thread to ask if you found a solution ? I'm encountering the same crash on loading the world. I created the world in Creative to test my MP, went into survival to test combat, died, crashed on respawn and since then crash on loading the world. Deactivating Oculus isn't fixing it either, and I don't have Optifine (Twilight forest is incompatible)
