Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Hello all!

Despite a long and intrusive testing period that disrupted the already-underwhelming October Flavor, I am pleased to announce the availability of the December Flavor for Little Brother!

It was a long, hard battle and we nearly missed having it be a huge epic candy world with little to no holiday cheer... but in the end, we managed to save Christmas after all!



This time we're featuring a lush Minecraft 1.7.10 world that's been given the seasonal treatment by Wintercraft, one of the best and most adorable Christmas mods out there.  And to enrich the game world, we're also throwing in a few extra presents:  the absolute-bleeding-edge-latest Biomes O' Plenty and Mo' Creatures.  Now you can have ALL the blocks and mobs you could ever want!

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!!!

This December Flavor is ALSO marking the first time we enable Dynmap on Little Brother!

So now you can track and chat with friends on this server as well!  Talk about multi-tasking!  :D

Here are the details of this month's flavor:
  • This is using Minecraft 1.7.10, and Forge 10.13.2.1236.
  • Wintercraft, Biomes O'Plenty and Mo' Creatures will be the mods featured.  
  • The map is generated based on Biomes O Plenty world generation, with a snowy biome intentionally chosen for the spawn point.
  • Flammole and InvisibleDragon continue to be the permanent moderators.  Jammy will also be our Monthly Moderator for quality and training purposes.
  • Difficulty is set to "Easy Mode" since... tis' the season.  :)
  • A Dynmap is employed with this flavor, although Wintercraft blocks might not display.

For Installation:

  1. Create a new Little Brother profile in your launcher and have it set to Minecraft 1.7.10 -- run the game at least once to download the necessary Version files.
  2. Download Forge 10.13.2.1236 for Minecraft v1.7.10 and run the installer.
  3. Back in the Little Brother profile, set the Game Directory to a new folder of your choice and the Use Version to the new Forge for 1.7.10, and run the game.  This will allow game files (including the /mods folder) for this Little Brother profile to be created in a separate folder, thus eliminating the risk of overwriting your standard Big Sister files in the main Minecraft directory.
  4. Download Wintercraft v1.1.0 for Minecraft 1.7.10:

  6. Download Mo Creatures v6.3.0 and CustomSpawner v3.3.0 for Minecraft 1.7.10:

  7. Copy all the mods listed above to your /mods folder inside the custom folder you specified in the Little Brother profile's Game Directory. 
  8. Load the game using the Little Brother profile, add littlebrother.mcserver.ws into your Multiplayer list, and enjoy!

And that's it!
We may even have a Christmas Building Contest using this world later this month, so be sure to stop by for a bit and play in this Winter Wonderland!

Enjoy and Happy Holidays!!  :D
