Wynncraft Modpack

Many of you probably know about the wynnenhanced fiasco, and after seeing all the reactions, and salted himself saying that it was unsafe to use, my question is; Why not make an official modpack?

Now I'm sure the dev team is really busy with improving the wynn server itself, but having an official modpack from the server itself would eliminate the safety risk, and potentially be even better, as the dev team knows the server inside and out.

After seeing the features of wynnenhanced, and wynn expansion mods, I really felt compelled to use either one, but there is always the problem of safety. I'm also certain that the experienced coders of wynn could cook up something amazing.

 

Because most people would rather see the features in the mod pack in the real game anyways :shrug:

 

That would be really cool too, but theres always the physical limitations of vanilla minecraft.

 

One of the greatest appeals of the game is that it's mod free. Once exclusive features get added on a modpack, when does it end.

 

Well wynnenhanced didn't really add anything to the game itself, it just made it more aesthetically pleasing to play. Having a mini map, a list of players, and the name of the items dropped on the ground seems really good.

 

I think the reason why it isnt is because wynn is supposed to be vanilla, adding a modpack would ruin that.

 

There is a simple answer to this.

Wynncraft's charm is that it is a MMO RPG server WITHOUT the use of Mods and such, only plugins. Adding this would ruin the charm and make what makes Wynncraft gone. Yes this would be more CONVENIENT, but it wouldn't make things very helpful with just suddenly having Wynn turn around and start using mods.

 

I think what this person meant is that there should be an official OPTIONAL modpack, just like Wynnenhanced. I don't think he meant making Wynncraft only modded, it would lose a lot of its charm

 

Wynnenchanced was a modpack, but it used the original wynncraft server. It only had client features that affected client only, and not server. So as a result, it was completely optional. I'm not saying make wynncraft exclusively a mod, but add features like wynnenhanced (yes im using this example alot) so it can be completely optional to use.

 

They will never make an official modpack because it's not necessary. You're not the only one to suggest something like this.

 

Well hey, its just a suggestion, and as far as I know I haven't seen any posts like this. However I'm sure this isn't an original idea. Nothing is really necessary, but it would be nice to have, you know?

 

The whole selling point of Wynn is literally "No mods required". People aren't just going to pick up a new server if it requires them to download mods. Even if it was optional, it'd consume too much time, money and effort to be actually worth it. Why would there be official mods when the community is able to create fantastic things? Sure, we've got a couple rotten eggs here and there such as Wynn Enhanced, but just look at ones such as Wynn Expansion! Not only that, but everyone's computers aren't able to handle mods, let alone entire modpacks. Therefore, if the official pack offered advantages to people who use it, non-users would most definitely be enraged. If people want aesthetically pleasing scenery such as minimaps, optifine or fancy leaves, they can just go off and download the actual original mods themselves.

 

I guess you didn't get my point...

 

@KnightsofRen_
The closest thing to an official "modpack" that they COULD make would be a data pack, however that would require updating everything to be 1.13+ compatible and drop earlier version support. Since that will take a LONG time, don't expect it to come any time soon, if at all. Last time I checked, they will be dropping 1.8-1.8.9 support sometime in the future.

 

I guess you skipped through the entire wall of text and decided to argue without making any actual points

 

Please don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting anything, and this is only a suggestion that I'm sure other people thought of. Wynncraft isn't exactly a pvp focused game and any advantages a modpack would give would maaaybe shave a few hours off the whole experience. And again, it would be optional, not required.

And I'm not talking about fancy leaves or anything a resource pack would be able to provide. I'm talking about the little things, like a better gui, an xp bar, waypoints...etc.

 

Moved to General Suggestions.

 

If you don't mind players having advantage over other players, I suppose you don't mind dupers and fly hackers either then?

These are all actual mods though. Again, I'd highly recommend reading through the list of things that explains why the suggestion flopped a tad bit. Might be quite helpful for understanding ya know?

 

Disagreeing =/= Reacting cynically

So, would you consider X-raying, entity radars and other modifications which work in similar manner acceptable?

This isn't the case in either of them. First, you made a suggestion; Great! After that, I replied with reasoning for why it'd end up being a disadvantage towards the bigger picture. Then, things might've gone wrong when you ignored what I said in order to support your idea. I responded with figurative references for comparison's sake, in order to assist you with understanding, and proving the points I made. From this, you started twisting my words around, and look at where we're now.

This is literally a feature of Wynn Enhanced
