Sketafuls AlmostVanilla

About this modpack

This modpack was made to make as small effect on the vanilla gameplay as possible.  
It's basically there to make handling items easier, sorting to chests and all that.  
It's also made for being on a server which means it works perfectly fine in single player  
but can be used on a server without problems and allow the server to be in charge  
of the settings.  

The focus on using it on a server is also why some of the mods like AntiCheat and  
server characters are included since these just doesn't do anything in SP play.

So what does this add?

• You can instantly move everything from your inventory to nearby chests by just pressing P as long as the chest already contain atleast one of that item already.
• You can put an item in your action bar and then click with it on a sign to make that sign show you the icon of the item and how many of that items there is in the chests near it (up to around 20ish m from the sign I think). Pressing E while looking at such a sign will highlight the chests containing the items.
• Loot from mobs will drop instantly but the death animation/ragdolls are unaffected. This means it all looks the same but you'll don't have to run down the hill to collect the loot.
• While holding the hammer you can hold CTRL and press left mouse button while looking at a chest, furniture etc. to lift them up and move them to not have to tear down and rebuild each time you placed a chest in the wrong place. It will move chests with everything inside them intact.
• In the main menu you'll have a nice window with your character's stats. Ingame you can press a button on the left top of the map to see how much of each biome in the world you've explorered so far.
• When farming, after plaing your first seed a grid will show on the ground that will help you place your plants. Holding SHIFT will override the grid if you want to place freely for some reason.
• There's more, but my time is limited :P

Serverside focused mods

• AzuAntiCheat - By placing the mods dll's in a white- or greylist folder you effectivly block players from joining the server with other mods than that.

• ServerCharacters - If you want to make sure players don't just join with a high level character or play singleplayer maps to farm and then join, this will force them to start a new char and only use it on the server.

• Groups - Let players group together up 2 five peole by writing /invite [playername] in chat. A window will pop up inviting that player to a group. Players in a group share XP (if close enough) and can always see their teams health and where they are on the map. A group is only active until loging out or until typing /leave in the chat. Group members can also speak in chat without others seeing.

• Guilds - You can make or join a Guild by pressing B ingame. Guild members always see each other on the map, see when members are online and can speak in chat without anyone outside the guild can see. It's similar to groups but permanent between sessions (until you leave the guild :P) but you don't see the health of the guild members like you do in groups.

• KillMeForMyPower - Effectively blocks players that haven't killed any bosses to use the powers or tools from these bosses. It's an effective way of forcing all players to actually fight all bosses.

• XRayVision - Place yourself in this mod's moderatorlist (it's in the mods config folder) and you can see who placed what in the game. Made to help server managers keep some check on what player did what.

• Venture Location Reset - Let you set a timeframe for the server to reset dungeons, ores and other things. A way to fix the problem on a server with resources. Not a big problem for a low players server (like mine) but if you have a lot of players the resources will be depleted quite quickly, specially near the spawn. Imagine being a new character on the server and needing to get a boat to go 5 islands away to find ore.

• NetworkTweaks - Fix connections and lag a lot by allowing higher transfer rate.

• MultiUserChest - Allows multiple players to use the same chest at the same time. Fix the irritation of waiting for someone checking a chest because you're locked out of it until the player is done. But more importantly, it make the autosorting added in this modpack work when playing multiplayer. Without this things get messy. Sorting things to a chest that's opened by another player would just delete the items instead of putting them in the chest. And the void is full enough. :p

  That is basically it.
  No extra monsters, weapons, achievements, powers.. Nothing.

I made this because I started to stream while playing the new update to Valheim and I thought, what the heck, I'll put up a server so friends can play with me if they like which then became "Nah, anyone should be alowed to play on it".

Now to make things clear, I'm not really a streamer and I am boring as hell to watch
and I keep speaking Swenglish (jump between Swedish and English).

About the server

The server is just for fun. I play with a friend or two and we take nothing serious.

If you feel like just playing on a server, feel free to join. The server is one click away from the start menu so you don't even need to know the address. But we are few and play very randomly so this is not a populated server with hardcore gamers.

This is just us having fun, trying to be happy. The server is run on quite a powerful computer and allows up to 50 players at once though so if you really, really want to drag friends to a server, feel free to do so.

Dungeons and ores are respawned after around 150 ingame days. It does leave it quite looted if more players join but still make it possible to find some near dungeons and ores.

There is an online map
