It's easy enough to test Azathoth. Just find any fortunable ore, and use a un-modified exavation focus on it (Be sure to give it a high enough count of things to break as to ensure you have a decent sample size). The Ring does not need any enchants to apply it's effect (I know this because I've mined a 8 diamond cluster with a non-fortuned pick and got 13 diamonds).
Odd, my server has not had that issue, and we have probably generated 50-100 villages so far, and we have all of those mods you listed. Are you using the most up to date version of all 3?
Hope you don't mind a little tip for the textures, but on the armors/cloaks can you make them not mono-color? Would help them look significantly better when worn. A little noise goes a long way in making something look much more natural.
I've been having issues trying to run your mod on my server. It seems that your mod is incompatable with a forge server, and it crashes it out with no log or anything. Had to trial/error it out until I isolated Streams.
Alright guys, looks like it is a go for the most part. I'll be putting the info out tomorrow at noon, assuming we have no technical issues pop up. We will be, at least for the first month, be running on a Creeperhost Creeper level server, which cost me/us 43.32$ per month. For the numbers that means, this is a 5.7 GB of Ram, 40 GB of HDD, 4 cores, and unlimited data transfer. This SHOULD be good enough for our needs, although there is still going to be room to further enhance the server with the Enderman Server, which is a roughly 50% increase in price and what is given. The lowest I'll let the server run at is a Spider, which is 24$ per month, anything less than this as our monthly donations will probably have me pull the plug on the server.
This is the most powerful setup we have ran the server on so far over it's many iterations, so we will be a lot better off than we used to be. I recommend anyone who quit due to lag try and rejoin, odds are they will be fixed, for I set the server up in a pretty central location (Chicago) rather than at my home.
Well, thats odd. Mmm... well, back to fix signature. That thing was there just recently....
EDIT: Did they get rid of their default signature setup? I have it set up according to the page, but it's not working it seems. Did they lock it behind a paywall?
As per your request to have people tell you if your mod is in a (semi) public modpack, I'm posting this here. If you are curious as to the nature of said pack, there is a link to it in my signatureLink
*A covenant formed of many magical disciplines gathers in an ancient tomb, to perform one of the darkest arts*
Witch - "Are you sure we should do this? Some things should stay dead, you know."
Thaumaturge - "Some things should, but this one shouldn't. This was one of the few places we could escape our persecution for the "black magic" we practiced according to the rest of the world."
Witch - "Yes, but in this act what we are doing is in fact very very black magic. Necromancy is nothing to joke about."
Necromancer - "It is nothing to joke about. But the art of reanimating the dead in and of itself isn't evil, only those who fall to it's darkness, letting the desire for more power consume them..."
Archmage - "And in and of itself, is not our search for freedom from the technological caste an effort for us to become more powerful though, Necro?"
Necromancer - "No. What we do with that freedom would decide that. Some of us just want to be free of the risk of some all powerful machina "god" deciding we are the scum and villainy of the world."
Druid - "Yes. A wish for life isn't evil. Only the purpose behind that life can potentially be called it. But lets make sure we do this right, and not fall to the evils of this magic."
Chronomancer - "Yes. Anyway, this will require all of our power to perform this. This isn't just resurrection of a mere human, what we seek to do is bring back a lost god, who can stabilize the energies of the void to keep the world alive. Are we all willing to risk our lives to potentially give the rest of our kind a chance of freedom and a real life?"
*A unanimous agreement rings out among all present individuals*
Thaumaturge - "Then that settles it. I'll focus on tearing open a void between worlds for this new plane, OUR new plane, to exist within."
Archmage - "I'll help form the world for us. For as nice as having a plane of existence to go to is, it is worthless if we have no actual world to exist within it."
Druid - "And that world would be worthless if it was barren of all life. I'll cover that for us."
Chronomancer - "I'll open a seam in time, to make it more reasonable for our Necromancer to actually reach Aria's essence. Not that I doubt his abilities, but even the best necromancer would find it impossible to perform a resurrection on this ancient and powerful of a being. So lets make it, at least to him, as if he is resurrecting the freshly dead. Any power I have left will go into starting the flow of time on this new world."
Witch - "I'll enter the spirit plane, and pull both the Necromancer and Chronomancer into it with me. Being a touch more in tune with the spirits will further aid his cause."
Necromancer - "Well, we all know what I am doing. But a final warning. Resurrecting such a powerful being will almost without a doubt leave massive tears in the veil between life and death as she comes through. This could potentially utterly destroy the nature of death in this world we are building. Who knows what form it will take after this is finished. It may very well be that the spirits of the lost never leave our world, reanimating the bodies of the fallen freely. Then again, this could help the very people we are trying to bring with us to this better world. A world where you get an infinite quantity of lives in which to try and better yourself... It would be a dream for many of the people who feel bound by our one life. No, not a dream... A reality!"
All present - "Then let us begin."
*A chant begins. It is impossible to understand to any not present, as they speak in the language of the goddess, and yet it manages to form in the air between them as a runic script.*
The Resurrectionist - "We seek to bind existence, to hold it to our whim. Together we call on the lost goddess Aria, and bind her back to life, to hold a world we create in existence, a world in which we are free and able to live without worry! Aria, Arise!"
*A massive blast of power surges through them all, shattering their minds and bodies. All of them fall, but in the space between them, a form made of light shines.*
Form of Light - "I felt your wishes, and you all have paid the ultimate price. A place between worlds has formed, filled with life and power, wild and unbound. I shall gather up the souls of those who would want to be in such a world, and bring them there for you. May you all find true peace... And perhaps a chance in this world you have created."
Anyway, free from our little "lore" post, I am proud to give the good news that I am back. I am going to be rebuilding the server over the next few days (most likely I will be fully opening up the server at 12 PM central time this Wednesday. I'll post further if it gets delayed, but 2.5 days should be enough time for me to get things fine-tuned.) I fully intend to stream my progress on the server this time around, and perhaps a few of the other regulars might as well (Looking at you Dolby chat regulars).
Anyway, a rough changelog of what will be happening with this reset...
1. Full restart of the server. I am removing some mods, adding others. A more accurate log will be announced on Wednesday as I open the server back up, but if you want, you can try and figure out which "core" mods are in with my selection of "our world's creators."
2. I am taking full control back over of the server, and will be hosting it on Creeperhost myself. I will have a fixed budget I will allot to server expenses from me, and the rest will be covered by your donations to a Patreon account I am creating for this purpose. I will not be giving any added rights to donaters, you are just helping max out the quality of the server we are playing on. I might be slightly more forgiving of any issues that arise with donaters, but I hate the idea of "bought" power. I may decide to, depending on how stable the money you guys provide is, give us other things like a new website and such to hold for server purposes.
3. I will be attempting to have a fixed schedule for reboots and patches for the server, but I cannot say for sure that it will happen.
4. There will be, as usual, a basic starting area try and ensure everyone has a safezone to start out in and not get instantly murdered. May decide to create a statue to "our" goddess at this starting area.
Anyway, I am sorry for the break I had to take from Minecraft and existence in general, but I had some issues to cover IRL with a bad boss at my old job. Note the old. Think you can guess what happened and what I had to do.
Anyways guys, let the hype begin! Also, for now, PM me on the forums to get access to the server, I'll be putting out the download link in PMs then.
Trying to fix it,but it seems to be on creeper host end, as I can't actually log into their servers period right now, it just sort of hangs trying to get into the console.
QQQ updated a mod, turns out it crashed the server. I'd edit it, but QQQ still hasn't changed it to a universal upload from the website for me to use...
Well Kali, what do you expect? You were one of the few "sane" ones to join the server community.
Anyway, if QQQ doesn't get you set up before I get home from work I'll get you fully invited then (can't do it now, typing this from a tablet while getting ready for work). Anyway, see you soon.

Anything. It is a perma looting+Fortune, which just happens to stack with the Looting/fortune on your weapon/tool.
