A friend and I are planning on doing a modded survival let's play with a combination of mods we pick. we already have a few ideas as to what mods we would like to do. I am running a server with minimum lag so any mod is welcome as long as it is usable in multiplayer. the mods can be installed onto the server or we can even use our own modded Minecraft. We would love suggestions as to what mods we should use. We are open to absolutely any suggestions. Thank you for your time.
I would suggest using one of the Feed the Beast packs that they provide. If you would like, I can help you out in learning some of the new mods that you may have not seen.
