Difficulties - What to choose?

[SSRosvald]

Good Day my fellow Tekkers. I have recently just set up a Tekkit Server, and never playing Tekkit before, I was wondering what difficulty one should have on the server? Why should i choose peacefull over hard, or vice verca?

Well what variety of server do you want?

Do you just want players to mess around and build with each other, or perhaps a ruthless PvP server in which death is always a single sword stroke away.

If you have no particular theme, I suggest sticking to normal, people who want difficulty aren't totally disappointed, and people who don't like fighting aren't scared off either.

The server is strictly for 6 players, but I have yet to invite any of my friends. I'm just concerned about the creepers potentionally blowing up equipment we have used much time on, or worst case scenario, triggering a nuclear explosion. The idea of the server is to have fun with the Tekkit Pack, but at the same time have PvP on if someone wants to be a douche. You cannot force rules on people like that. But you think Normal should be fine? As of now it is on Peacefull, so that I do not have to piss myself every single time I'm underground mining.

If you're mostly worried about creepers, there's plugins out there that stop them from blowing things up when they explode. If it's just for a few friends, easy or normal should be fine. There's also the fact that on peaceful you can't get any of the hostile mob drops, such as bonemeal and gunpowder.
