I would like to make a proposition to be voted on.
I personally think that the server would become a lot more fun if it had a mod on it. (I mean modification mod, not admin mod.)
First off, modifications as we all know, add more aspects to minecraft, and as such, more goals and more things to do. As such, if a modification is implimented into a multiplayer server, there are a lot more things to do with others. This overall makes the server much more enjoyable, as one is not limited to the usual aspects of minecraft: people can experiment and become more industrial if they wish.
(Secondly, its more fun.)
Anyway, if we agree that the server would do with some mods, we should list some mods which we think would make the server more fun. There will have to be criteria for this though:
1. The mod client must have a host version.
2. The mod isnt for nooby advantages. (Not a crappy mod that turns one block of dirt into a stack of diamond blocks, for example. [Equivalent Exchange is an exception: it costs TONNES to make a single diamond {512 Cobblestone eventually turns into one diamond} and it requires the philosophers stone, which is incredibly difficult to make {One diamond, four redstone, Four glowstone.}])
3. It wont cause Suyo's server greif. (If you are unsure, we might be able to request Suyo to give it a short trial period; If it makes his computer kill itself, then obviously he's not gonna implement it.)
4. You understand that since this IS Suyo's server, if he says no, then don't bother trying.
Aaaanyway, here's a list of mods I recommend:
Mo' Creatures - Implements more creatures and mobs into the game (Crocodiles, rabbits, turtles, etc. Also implements crocodile leather and crocodile leather armour! ) Note: Beware of the Ogres, they're quite annoying.
Better Dungeons - Like the name suggests, more Naturally Spawned Structures implemented. Some of which are: Mayan watchtower (with traps!), Pirate ships (With genuine pirates!), Sacred Groves (With genuine vines and evil goblins!) and even castles!
IC2 (Industrial Craft 2) - Ever wanted to become industrial in minecraft but never been able to? Say no more! With IC2, you can now make mass ammounts of machines, like Macerators, Extractors, Electrolyzers and even Generators and Teleporters! Even implements new ores and materials like Bronze, Tin, Ruby, Nikolite, and even Uranium! Yes, i said Uranium! This means that you can also create NUCLEAR REACTORS which, if not monitored properly, will create a HUGE HOLE IN THE GROUND =D (There's even a recipe to make a nuke, but it's hidden from system files; unless you specifically look it up, you cannot make it. Cheers!)
Railcraft - Allows you to make many more rails, like High-speed rails, which go at twice the speed of power rails. There's also elevator rails which, when powered, will raise carts up them (Can also be used for ladders!) Also implements the Tunnel bore, a huge device (3 wide, 3 tall, 4 long.) that requires a bore head (Iron or diamond) rails (Automatically places them in front of it so it can move forward) coal for fuel, and gravel. (to get over those holes it encounters.) As long as it has those, it will dig in a straight line until it runs out of something or hits a huge hole (Ravine =D)
