I'm glad I can be slandered in Reddit threads that aren't even related to my mod. Especially when you know, it's not the truth.
If this is how people are going to continue talking about me, I'm just going to release the source and get the topic locked.
Please don't do that! There are plenty of people who appreciate your work!
You're the modder, you get to decide how the mod works. You shouldn't listen to these haters. However, if stuff like this makes you want to stop modding, that's perfectly reasonable. But try not to let these people get to you.
Also, people probably won't like me saying this, but I don't think you should release the source if you stop. If people are being this awful, they don't deserve that.
Maybe I'm a bit too spiteful.
In the interest of brevity, and because a great number of people seem to miss the essential parts of it, I've decided to try a new approach to the first post; wiping out all non-essential sections. The original first post is viewable in the spoiler below:
NO WHITELIST
This is a 1.2.5 Server. You MUST download a fresh 1.2.5 jar (link) BEFORE installing our modpack.
What is this?
This… is Azurite 2.0.
Actually, that’s a lie. Azurite 2.0 is a Minecraft Server, while this is a series of alphanumeric characters typed into a word processor.
But you don’t care about that, do you? Of course not. You’re just reading this to see if this server is worth your time. So I’m going to tell you some of theawesomethings, and you’re going to sit back and read about them. Please.
Azurite 2.0 is a tech server. It’s got IndustrialCraft, BuildCraft, and all sorts of newfangled RedStone doohickeys. But if you don’t like the tech part, we still have some cool features and giveaways that don’t require complicated techy doodads. More on those later.
“So what?” says Mr. Generic Reader. “There are plenty of tech servers out there. You’re not special!”
That really hurts, Mr. Generic Reader. Azurite 2.0 IS special. And you want to know why? BECAUSE SCIENCE, THAT’S WHY.
And it’s not just the science!Scroll down a bit and peruse the “Screenshots” section of this post. See those buildings? Frank Lloyd Wright (read: famous architect dude) couldn’t have done any better! And most of those were made before we even went public! Just imagine the kind of stuff that we’ll be making (with your help) in the future! Azurite 2.0 has everything you need to build. It’s got dirt, and iron, and dirt, and dirt, and wires, and dirt, and RedStone, and it even has dirt! What more could you want?
If that’s not enough, we also have a Mob Arena under construction, with planned boss fights and rewards. That’ll be ready as soon as our admins get their acts together and figure out what they’re doing. Trust me, it shouldn’t take long.
And now, for my last trick, DONATIONS. Most people won’t donate to the server, and we’re fine with that. But for those of you with some spare cash in your pockets, you can get access to some cool stuff, choose a custom title, or other things like that.
What do we do with these donations? Well, right now we can't do much. We’d like to eventually be able to use the money to improve the server, but we also want to give back to our community. Ultimately, we want to be able to use the donations to fund prizes for raffles for our most active members. We’ll also give a certain percentage of our donations to charity, which I must say is very generous of our admins. Seriously, I have to say it. They’re making me.
And here's what you've all been waiting for...
Server IP: First, download our EXTRA-SPECIAL MODPACK in order to log in! You absolutely need the modpack installed in order to log in! You'll also need Minecraft version 1.2.5, which you can find the jar for right here(click). To install, just unzip the folder, open InstallWindows.bat, and follow the directions. Say yes to deleting meta_inf, and no to everything else. It'll install to your .minecraft for you. Easy as that!
If you have any trouble connecting,just send us an email at [email protected] and we'll help you get things sorted out!
Also, never make an iron shovel. They'll cause you to crash, and we'll have to delete your inventory. There's a Trade-o-Mat at spawn where you can get a stone shovel enchanted to similar properties. We're hoping to fix the problem soon.
This one's our Spawn Castle! It looks pretty cool in that pic, but there's actually a whole city built around it now.
Cool Beans!

We're holding a contest right now: whoever can come up with the coolest slogan for Azurite 2.0 gets a special prize. They get the privilages of a level three donator. That includes access to several spawn eggs and other cool stuff. Try your hand at slogancrafting, and send your ideas to [email protected]! This contest will stay open until we get an awesome idea.
You can also watch misterjpc819's video about the contest, which basically restates what I've been saying: (Sorry about the aspect ratio, it won't happen in the future)
Again, the email is [email protected]!
Hey peoples, sorry about the double post, but a minor announcement:
If you can't get on the server, try re-downloading the modpack. We just updated with a different version of Advanced Machines, so your version could be obselete.
Yes way! For those of you playing at home, that's 17 mods that were updated (double digits!), and 6 new mods added. That's a grand total of a lot of mods!
But Don't Panic, because the mods just got easier to install! All you need to do is put the correct jar (1.2.5) in your .minecraft/bin folder and run our installer! (Don't forget to choose "yes" for deleting meta_inf and "no" for everything else!) Then, load up MC and you'll have our server already loaded! So easy a caveman could do it!
Hey, we've got some news:
We've got a contest going on right now: whoever can come up with the best slogan gets level donator privileges! You can read more about it in the first post. If you've got any ideas, email them to [email protected]! Thanks people!
The issue is being resolved. Until the modpack updates, all you need to do is NOT install NEI Forestry in your mods folder.
EDIT: Modpack 9 released. Bug fixed.
I'm annoyed when there are a lot of bugs, lag, and really blocky graphics (although I do enjoy a lot of older games with poor graphics). Which makes it surprising that I got hooked on Minecraft.
I can only think of these ones right now: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Portal 1 (poor GLaDOS), Half Life 2 (since I knew Half Life 3 wasn't coming any time soon).
You could say Pokemon is bad for kids for promoting violence.
Similarly, you could say that Pokemon is actually good for kids. It promotes individuality, friendship, and perseverance.
Really, neither is true. The kids just think "Imma go and win da game," and no hidden messages distract them from that.
Would you consider adding a Redstone+Ender Pearl potion? It would teleport you to spawn (or a coordinate chosen in the config file). The redstone would "activate" the Ender Pearl, giving you access to the Enderman's teleporting power.
I just started the series, and Sea of Flames 2 is awesome. Except the skeletons. They're worse than the creepers.
I could imagine the last map being terrible: You start with half a heart, and when you die you spawn on a pressure plate that blows up the entire map. No mistakes allowed.
so I didn't like my aether world and wanted to start a new aether world but in the same regular world. i decided to delete the files: DIM3 and aether.dat in my world save file but when i opened up the game and made a new portal in the same place i was spawned in the same place in the aether please help!
The Aether will always generate the same if you use the same seed. If you want a different Aether, you need a different map.
Pretty sure I put everything in there correctly but I've redone it four times and still get an error.
Also it took me forever to make this idiot thing actually stop long enough for me to copypaste it, I don't even know how I did it, it just disappears. (I thought Notch fixed this?) Tried the console provided on the SAPI thread but it told me Java wasn't recognized as an internal or external command (Even though I can run boring vanilla Minecraft just fine so obviously I have Java.)

Thanks! I'll have to try that out.

I believe you need to switch to ShockAhPI 5.
