Hi All, This is an amazing world of Minecraft, Bukkit, and Tekkit. We've run a Minecraft server for many months and now our boys and their friends want to add some mods. I've downloaded and tried out the CraftBukkit server and the Tekkit server and can get them running fine. I now just want to clarify a few things. Am I correct in saying that the CraftBukkit server only enables server-side mods, i.e. that it works with the regular Minecraft client and doesn't need mods added to the client? I believe also that the Tekkit server generally requires people to use the Technic Launcher and to choose a Mod Pack compatible with the mods the server is running. Usually, by default for a standard Tekkit Server I believe this would just be the Tekkit Modpack. Am I correct in saying that the other mod packs (Technic, Yogbox, Voxel Modpack, Hack/Mine) are for specific servers setup with those required mods? If our boys want this mod and that mod I believe what we need to do depends on the type of mod: 1) if it is a Bukkit only mod then it would not require a client-side mod as well, but 2) if it does more like Tekkit mods then it requires a client-side mod installed with config/id etc. Finally, is there any way for us (down the line) to create our own mod pack, probably starting from the Tekkit Mod Pack, and share that with all our players? Would this be stable across updates? Sorry for all the questions, I hope they make sense, and thanks for any help. Cheers, Ashley.

Hi Sayshal - thank you for your very prompt answer to my question. I thought that would be the case but just wanted to check. I will check out WorldEdit. Cheers, Ashley.

Hi, We have been using our own minecraft server (vanilla?) and have now setup a tekkit server (latest). Is it possible to copy our world from the minecraft server to the tekkit server? I am assuming it is not because of all the mods but it would be nice to be able to save the world that we have created. I think this is possible with a bukkit server. Thanks for any information. Cheers, Ashley.
