tekkit community downfall started?

[zenmender]

So seeing as we no longer have a bukkit version of the server to be updated it seems as if the community will die off. I being a server owner with an average of 30-40 players dont want to have to deal with using the minecraft server mods or paying a developer for mods that will break every update. Bukkit just has everything you need and even the players would surely prefer bukkit. From here on i see the play base droping :/ its really sad seeing how big tekkit was. Now that tekkit is so far behind less and less people will join and more are starting to leave.

You can still play Tekkit Classic...

I dont think that solves anything, from what I heard, it wont be updated to 1.4, so it looks like its there just to hold people over.

The community wont die off, technic lite will has all the essentials commands built in, it has permissions, and support for world edit.

Bukkit team is already at mojang working on a new server program, so it looked like tekkit is just early to the party, and bukkit was gunna

die anyway. This saves the team alot of time as they already have a non-bukkit port out.

Also, the only other major mod pack (FTB) also is using vanilla servers, so the entire modding community is moving forward with us, its not just a tekkit only thing.

If what you say is true, it makes sense that it is called Tekkit classic.

What do you base this off? You have no clue. You can't have heard anything because if you had heard anything on the matter you would have heard it from us personally, the Technic team. So since you haven't heard anything from us, it means one of two things. Either you are just repeating shit someone made up for no intelligent reason, or you are trolling trying to spread made up rumors and lies. Which is it? I'm not impressed either way.

The thing about bukkit is, it's an API. There are other API's. The bukkit devs are no longer respected in general, and they've turned their backs on the community. This isn't anything new. They've refused to support modders who's mods use client side modifications from day one (aka, all the good mods). The forge devs are much closer to the users and showing a lot of promise to fill the role vacated by bukkit. There are multiple projects currently attempting to port bukkits library of plugins to forge. Instead of standing on a soapbox declaring the end of tekkit, you could be doing something actually constructive by helping with those projects. You're saying that Tekkit is "so far behind" what does that even mean exactly? What or who are we behind? Everyone is in the same boat. Anyone who wants to play all the popular mods has to either stick with older versions for bukkit, or push on without bukkit until forge has the same plugings. There isn't any exception. No other modpack providers can magically offer that. Everyone just has to deal with the situation and wait. Once all the plugins are available with forge, Tekkit 4 will drop. It's as simple as that.

I really question your intentions when starting this thread. Unlike collybolly you aren't saying that "you heard" these things. You're just saying them. I'm very very unimpressed with you as well. I don't recommend you post on these forums any further.

I dont mean to offend, I just saw some posts that the bukkitforge wont be updated. Im not tring to troll

at all, I just heard that the part of tekkit that tekkit is dependent on might be canceled, so I assumed that then tekkit (bukkitforge classic) would be canceled. Also, Im sorry if my post sounded like if I was referring to all of technic, I wasn't.

Here are some posts I saw:

http://www.technicpack.net/forgebukkit-project-is-likely-dead/

http://www.techgalaxyminecraft.com/forum/m/8479181/viewthread/4757606-forgebukkit-dead

Again, I may have read these wrong or something, I know that happens to me. Thats not really an excuse though.

Right. You stopped reading or something half way through though.

I didn't read the part where KakerMix fell to his knees, tore his shirt Kirk style, and declared Tekkit dead. How did you glaze over this part where we talk about the future of supplementing functionality by porting mods to forge or making new ones that were previously ported to bukkit? There are multiple projects already doing this as we speak. One of the most promising ones is even packaged with Tekkit Lite, ForgeEssentials. It clearly says this in the news announcement for Tekkit Lite.

Honestly. I am astounded by this thread. If anyone wonders "why all the Technic hate?" or why we don't interact with the curse MC forums, just look at this thread. Completely uninformed knee jerk assumptions. People forming negative, unwarranted opinions much too quickly while ignoring information right in front of them. I hope this is a wake up call for you and others. This thread is shameful.

I read this as a hot lovescene between Kaker and Kirk.

E: Their baby would be Kirker. :>

Again, I never said that tekkit was dead, never claimed to. I said that tekkit with forgebukkit, the way it currently works, is probably dead. If you look at my post at the beginning, I specifically mention that about tekkit lite and how it has built in features. I read the ENTIRE thing, because its only a page long. I didn't know about other forge projects until someone in another discussion mentioned it, so that was my bad. Also, this thread isn't shameful, shameful would be censorship of this thead, like MCF does. The OP didn't read the news posts, so someone had to explain them, that's annoying, but not shameful. I might go as far to be proud of the post for showing the forums ability to expresses your thoughts. As for people having knee jerk reactions, I would agree, people do that sometimes, but that's just the nature of the Internet. Nothing that can really be changed.

No. Reread the OP's post and try to find the silver lining in that mess. Nothing to be proud of there. At all. I am all for people expressing their thoughts here, and we of course don't censor as is our policy. Of course that works both ways and everyone is free to express themselves and tear misinformed and idiotic opinions apart within the confines of our forums rules. Such is the case of this thread, and I've decided to do it personally, and seriously for once instead of humorously as usual. There is no "nature of the internet" the internet is just a network where people congregate to share porn and cat pictures. It's not the nature of the internet, it's the nature of immature children and adults. You can't blame a tool for it's user being a complete shit crapper. You can't just back peddle because I've stepped in and go "boys will be boys! It's just the way things are!". Nothing that can really be changed? Bullshit. Everyone can just pull their head out of their ass and get informed; conduct themselves intelligently. Put things in greater perspective and keep them there. It's not actually difficult. A lot of people could stand to try it. We'd get a lot more done and have a much stronger community. Maybe even one instead of several.

Cheap Shot, could you perhaps give a news update on the status of all the projects? Perhaps providing information will quell all the rumors. I, for one, didn't know what the intentions were with "Technic Classic". Now that I've seen "Once all the plugins are available with forge, Tekkit 4 will drop." I'm content to wait. However, I wouldn't have learned that if I hadn't scoured this forum.

Thanks, and keep up the good work.

[zenmender]

Hmm getting tired of these tekkit mods. They act as if they are so much better then everyone else.. But nikademus it seems as if tekkit lite is the new tekkit. Tekkit classic will most likly stop development as there is a version of bukkit for tekkit lite just not 100% stable yet. Why they decided to break it apart im not sure.

[Rooster]

zenmender: It's usually polite to read everything posted before you add to a thread. Or did you not read Cheapshot's rant as well?

Edit: Or what you posted as well for that matter. If something isn't stable yet, maybe that's why it hasn't been updated? Perhaps just maybe when it DOES become stable we'll see Tekkit 4? Tekkit is a complicated monster culminating from many diverse moddding teams for Minecraft. ALL the parts have to be updated for it to move forward, which is why it's been so long since the last update for 'classic'.

[Cheap Shot]

All the information you need will be posted to the front page. Anything else you just have to be patient. Something the community isn't good at I know, but it's a virtue.

[Nikademus]

Thank you, Cheap Shot.
