Migrating from bukkit/tekkit lite

[kapunk]

Hi,

 

I have a bukkit server running with the tekkit lite modpack installed. Can I switch to tekkit/cauldron using the old worlds which have mostly tekkit lite stuff in it? Will the machines still work after the switch?

 

Thanks!

Most likely nothing would work. If you want old machines and blocks (even from the same mod) to continue working, they would need to have the exact same ID in the old and new modpack, I think.

 

You could simply try migrating a copy of your world and see what works. My bet is that pretty much nothing will, and you might just as well start over. I recall that there used to be migrating tools, but those never covered 100% and were complicated to use.

Doesn't sound too good... Well, the server runs quite stable and we have fun on it. My intention was to get to the next level by having additional techniques to play with.

 

Maybe the cauldron project will die, so I guess best thing is to continue with my server and run the new tekkit project in parallel to it. We might start a new world when EE3 mod is complete.

If it's still fun, maybe wait until the coming 1.7.10-based modpacks arrive. Nothing has been announced for the Technic platform yet, although Hexxit seems well on track already. Looks like folks are somewhat focused on getting the new launcher finished first.

 

You can test some 1.7.10 alpha packs on the FeedTheBest launcher if you're curious about the new generation and can't wait for Technic to get moving.
