Vanilla and tekkit coexistence

[xtrasyn]

Hi there,

I have this issue where a few of my friends want to play vanilla (tbp, they want to play unmodded) and others want a server with tekkit and bells on.

I know it is probably impossible to have one world that caters for all, but is there a way to at least share the experience like piping all chat from both worlds together? So that they can talk (and keep the community together) and see all of the logged in people on both servers?

I am open for other suggestions, but I really want to keep this group together. If they can choose what server they play on but still have one unified chat it may just do the trick. If there is a way to live teleport into the vanilla serve,r that would be totally freaking awesome, but since a part insists on unmodded clients it may be too much to ask.

Your brain farts on this are highly appreciated!

honestly, what's the difference? I meant, tekkit is just vanilla + more right? Why can't they just play tekkit like vanilla? I've never understood this when people who love vanilla minecraft say they don't like tekkit or any modpack (but they play with bukkit plugins?) seems that if you don't like a mod, and your friend does, just play on the same server, and don't play with that mod...

It might be possible to do what you want with the Bukkit plugin Transporter, which if I remember correctly supports chat sharing. I'm sure it allows teleporting between servers if you use their client patch, which is included in Tekkit Classic and possibly the other modpacks, or could certainly be added to a custom modpack.

For chat sharing, you might want to try ForgeIRC. Its a mod by Shadow Dragon (Soul Shards author). Setup an IRC server, add the mod to both servers, and then configure to use your server. Chat is now shared across the IRC channel, and between servers. All chat said on either server will appear as '[ForgeIRC] what was said' on the other server.

Yep.
