Hosted through BeastNode, located at NY, USA, International users are welcome.

DOWNLOAD
Download Modpack Here (Win) I have packaged a modpack with absolutely everything you need except the core Minecraft files. This modpack uses a bat file to force a fresh install of Minecraft in its folder. It WILL NOT affect your other Minecraft installs at all. Includes and uses 7zip commandline executable. Creates a fresh minecraft install with default skin, custom skins must be added manually.

Server Rules
Apply for whitelist on this thread
No griefing
Do not go beyond 2000, -2000 : 2000, -2000 (for now, subject to expand at later date)
No creative mode. Use singleplayer if you want to test the pack out.
Please don't put an excessive amount of machinery in one place, I've been told this can corrupt chunks which will require anything in that chunk to be demolished by a rebuild.

Welcome to the server. Build something epic and have fun!

The server is backed up and restarted twice daily. Admins online most nights around 7pm EST.

You may contact me with any suggestions or questions here on the forum or via Skype(pdavidow), GTalk(zerohourrct), Raptr(Medicdude), Facebook(pdavidow), or Steam(firestormrct).

Edit: The modpack has been completely rebuilt and is now completely legitimate, no Minecraft files are included at all.

Quote from ANATOMICA_3rd

Did you ask the mod authors before you implemented there mods into your modpack because if you dont you will be riticuled nearly as bad as Tekkit/Technic.

No. And no. All four mods are available to the public. The pack is simply a compilation of the files so that you can use them on the server, I am earning no revenue with it. I dislike adfly because it makes you wait for the download, you shouldn't have to wait. I will donate to the mod creators based on server popularity of their features.

I have since reviewed the distribution policies and asked alblaka and eloraam for permission to distribute.

Quote from Timmie3054

Dude, you did not provide a modpack.

Yes, 'Dude', I did. It's a package containing all the mod files required to play on my server.

Quote from Timmie3054

You provided the minecraft.jar. Its in the folder Step 8.

Yes, a modified one.

Quote from Timmie3054

Your[sic] not allowed to distribute the minecraft.jar

Distributing a modified minecraft jar is within the terms of service. It's a minor derivative work that is inoperable without the core files, which follows their terms of use (as far as I can interpret). My pack still requires users to download the whole minecraft files from mojang before it will work.

Quote from Timmie3054

If you need me to make you a real modpack hit me up with a pm.

No.

Slight server hiccup on the host's end, trying to resolve it now. They're doing a quick maintenance to resolve some bugs, the server should come back online automatically. I'll be back later tonight. I'm hosting through Multiminecraft.

News: Everything is back up and running great.

Quote from Player

Don't redistribute copyrighted material without permission. The forums are hosted in Germany, we don't have "fair use" exceptions.

Ah, my intention was not to inconvenience the forums at all, I will remove the modified jar from the pack and put in instructions on recreating it.

I see you have already removed the link, thankyou.

Quote from Timmie3054

Also, if your still think you not breaking the terms of use. Then maybe you should actually read them

So you're saying that everyone who retweets jeb is breaking the terms of use right? Because he made those statements and they are redistributing them. You're going to say that it's not the same thing, and I will disagree, it is the EXACT same thing, except for the length of the work. So the question is, how long is acceptable? That's up to your interpretation.

If you read the second paragraph, it states 'we need all game downloads to come from a single central source: us. ' I feel like that clause is the most important one, which I do follow.

Distirbuting information or violating the terms of an EULA does not make you a pirate, it is simply legal grounds for refusal and termination of service. (In the United States at least).

Quote from Timmie3054

Obviously your not old enough to understand this, so I'm going to just stop arguing with you. Your download was already removed for distributing copyrighted material, so I don't see why your still trying to prove your self right.

I can assure you that I understand what you are saying perfectly, and I am disagreeing with your view point. Interpretation of the law is up to each individual citizen, in the united states that's why we have the judicial system. I am trying to keep a civil argument and NOT verbally attack you.

Further, distributing copyrighted work does not make one a pirate. In fact, in the United States, it is perfectly legal as long as it falls under fair use, see "http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html". Also, I was providing the jar as a convenience to those whom already own a license to Minecraft, not for the use of crackers who have no use for my incomplete file set anyways.

And further, 'Terms of Use' and EULAs have little to no legal weight. They are often combined with license agreements to allow one party to legally revoke the agreement.

Quote from Timmie3054

You can't claim what you did is "Fair Use". As its not fair to mojang that you are distributing there game.

Yes, I can. How is it not fair to mojang? I am targeting players that already own a valid license.

Quote from Timmie3054

You fail to realize that the only file you need to play minecraft is the minecraft.jar. All the other files are easily attainable. As most of the files are not even mojang's work to begin with. They are java dependency.
Its will also be easier in the future when mojang releases there "Demo" of minecraft. People can just use your jar file and play the game for free.
Distributing the minecraft jar makes you a pirate. Stop trying to claim fair use. You don't see any other mod packs that have the minecraft.jar included. You cant distribute the minecraft.jar file. This is why there are mod packs.

You know, you're right, I'm a bloody pirate. I'm distributing the minecraft.jar to people that already own minecraft, now that's mighty unfair isn't it?

And it's so difficult for my fellow pirate brethren to get a copy of the jar elsewhere, I am the sole and single almighty source. I'm solely responsible for all those other poor saps getting everything for free. I mean, who can blame them when I make it so easy? All they have to do is download MY jar, get all the other files from elsewhere, crack the login and version protection! Child's play, really.

I should do it the same way all other mod packs do it. I should force those pirates to go elsewhere! Those hardcore pirates still won't pay for minecraft, and the soft-core pirates will find something else to get for free.

I should make things difficult for my legitimate server users just to spite those bloody pirates! Now that's customer service, and is sure to increase popularity for mods and for minecraft!

End sarcasm.
Have a nice logical day.

Quote from ScraggyForward

Where can I grab the config files? Can't find 'em in OP, but I get a crash due to new blocks in IC and RP2
So yeah, config files would be welcome

Ah, the problem is that you also need to install the advanced machines addon into the mods folder, download here.

Sorry, I forgot I had added that, I've updated the original post.
