[FF] Farms & Forges 1.22.0 (New World on established server, democratically run)

[Kaewan]

 

 

PSA: Please make sure your client-side mods are updated and working correctly. The jump from 1.21.x to 1.22.0 has been more awkward for players and many are crashing when joining due to not updating/deleting their old mods.

All player welcome! We are looking for survivalists for the new 1.22 server. Also, we are looking for new members to help keep the server running democratically and owned by players themselves, for this we are looking for 10 (or more) additional members but this is not required to play.

[The Server]
* "Farms & Forges" is just a place to play the game the way you want.
* We use QoL mods but try to keep the game close to the vanilla experience.
* We encourage players to play solo or with a group (following the rules).
* You may role play if you want but others may or may not.
* Discord offers a place to discuss issues and use voice chat. There is Discord integration of in-game chat.

[The Democratic Aspect]
* Anyone can play for free.
* Democratic decisions will be made by members. Membership costs $1 USD/month (Paypal).
* Members can apply to become Directors at no additional cost. Directors handle the server technical aspects. We will try to keep number of Directors at minimum 3, maximum 7. Members vote on Director application.
* Directors will designate someone as Treasurer, who is in in charge of handling funding. Currently, a paypal account (playercooperative@gmail.com) has been set up to handle hosting costs, which is where membership fees will be sent.
* Members can apply to become a Content Creator at no additional cost. They will be given access to create content on the server (WorldEdit). Directors will vote on the application.
* Members can apply to become a Server Admin at no additional cost. They will be given admin console on the server. Directors will vote on the application.
* Members can apply to become a Discord Admin at no additional cost. They will be given admin to the Discord server. Directors will vote on the application.
* Minimum %50 of Directors must vote on an issue for it to be ratified. This will be the quorum.
* Members who do not contribute to funding for 3 months shall be removed as members (with the option to become members again by contributing unpaid months).
* Members should be active in the democratic process (encouraged to bring up votes on issues and actively vote on issues).
* Since this is very new, finer details of the democratic process will be finalized as we gain members (and ideally come to consensus).

[What will members be able to vote on?]
* Any member can post a poll to vote on an issue (setting/mod, etc). Members will vote.
* Members will vote on *ALL* aspects of world configuration (rules, basic config, worldgen, mods, etc) including when a server wipe is needed or wanted.
* We try to keep the settings as agreed upon. If a server wipe is needed, mods that are incompatible are re-added as they become updated.
* A default server has been configured with settings members have agreed upon.

address client crashing on join and how to resolve

[Kaewan]

Just a note: if you're trying to join but keep crashing or have strange issues; it's most likely you still have older mods loading that aren't working on 1.22.0. Update them or delete them and try again.

It's getting towards the end of summer on first year. We are opening up the southern temperate region just in time for the growing season.

We've installed a few extra mods that have become available for 1.22. The modlist can be found here: https://discord.com/channels/1370516571700858951/1492259790657683486
