Upcoming Server

Lathirex

I was looking forward to Horizons or something new why Infinity again?

You're not wrong, it is kind of a burnout to play the same pack again. However, a Skyblock variation would be something unusual to play on. It's also a big reason we are discussing expert mode, because it would be a big change of pace as well as introducing new aspects to Infinity.

If Infinity cannot be released in a reasonable time frame, we will be forced to go with a different pack. In that scenario, we are happy to consider Horizons if that is what you're interested in. After the next server cycle is done, we will move to a 1.8 pack, so even if you are not interested in the Skyblock pack, you can continue to play on the current server until the next rotation.

I'm just worried. We've already lost people to burnout/boredom on the current Infinity. Another 2 months of it, most likely on expert mode seems like it would just make more people become bored. I know some people joined in the first place to get away from expert mode. I'll play whatever I'm given but I feel like more sense to have the skyblock replace the current Infinity server in another 2 months.

@Lathirex that's actually not a bad idea, I'll discuss that with the rest of the staff

Ah darn.

Expert mode is cool and all, but the startup on any server for expert mode is super grindy, and sometimes it's really easy to lose interest when you're having difficulties crafting a bucket.

But variation is, however key to fun. So I'll probably end up staying onboard with whatever you throw at me serverwise.

Skyblock sounds cool, and infinity is my fav mod pack so, sounds good!

@phit Thanks. Sorry if it sounds like I'm complaining about the choice to play skyblock Infinity - don't get me wrong, it sounds interesting. I just think the majority of us are all a little exhausted of Infinity for now.

I'd enjoy sky block, don't mind whether it's expert or normal.

This post was made in order to get player feedback, whether that is positive or negative. It's totally fine, and we appreciate your input.

@Lathirex

well i'm happy with being in the minority wrt this. As someone who does not have alot of time to sink into minecraft, i havent gotten nearly as far as the rest of you.

i understand the reasons that its going to be changed. but i'm happy with playing infinity.

Thanks for putting the map up for download admins.
