Back to the Futu... er, Past

Hello all!

I am pleased to announce the availability of the October Flavor for Little Brother!

After all that FTB excitement, some of the folks on the forum suggested a nice blast from the past... a setup that pairs Gulliver, LittleBlocks and CustomNPCs, and throws in the original Dravics server seed to boot (all we need now are custom NPCs of old Dravics staff)!  Talk about nostalgia trip (for some people)!  :D


There's not really much to this arrangement -- functionally it's the same as Big Sister (including the use of Forge Essentials), only it pairs Little Blocks and Custom NPCs, and ramps up the difficulty level.  So aside from a nostalgia trip, consider this a "what-if" as far as what could be possible on Big Sister some day if we opted to enable Little Blocks or Custom NPCs.  Maybe the Past IS the Future!  :D

Or something like that....



Here are the details of this month's flavor:
  • This is using the exact same version of Gulliver we use on Big Sister, and in fact all of the ranks and permissions should still be the same as well -- although that may be tweaked by the Little Brother staff.
  • LittleBlocks and CustomNPCs are the only two mods added.
  • The map is a fresh map generated with the original Dravics map seed, so former players from that server should recognize former landmarks.
  • Flammole and InvisibleDragon are the new permanent moderators -- AudreyAwesome and Lizeli9 have retired from the position.  Cordelia will also be our Monthly Moderator for quality and training purposes.
  • Difficulty is set to "Hard Mode", and firespread has been enabled, to ensure a little extra challenge. ;)

For Installation:
  • Download Custom NPCs for 1.6.2 here, and add to the same /mods folder where your Gulliver installation is.
  • Download Little Blocks for 1.6.2 per UncleMion's instructions here, and add to the same /mods folder where your Gulliver installation is. 
  • Launch Minecraft with your usual Gulliver profile.
  • Add littlebrother.mcserver.ws into your Multiplayer list, and enjoy!

Good luck and enjoy all the nostalgia tripping!
Just don't forget that the DRC exists on Big Sister, so don't go nuts rebuilding anything.  XD
