Activity on the main ScumCraft server has been low lately for a variety of reasons. Most people have pretty much finished playing there, have started looking at 1.7 mods, are playing on AgSkies, or just don't have time. So, it's time for a change and to try some new things. The world has been uploaded and packed with the world files, mod folder, and configs, and is available for download here. There will be no support for this pack, so if something breaks, you'll have to use some creativity (and Google) to fix it.
So what's happening now?
A new 1.6.4 pack is being created for testing. Some mods are being removed, some are being added, and most mods will be updated where possible. The full list of changes, as well as download links for the mods/configs will be posted as soon as initial testing is finished. Come to IRC to give your ideas/input on what you might want to see for the next pack. Until this test pack is ready for mass testing, the main server will remain as is with the current 2.0 pack.
What about 1.7?
Mods are starting to happen for 1.7, and a lot of them are just coming out of testing. There are still a LOT of bugs, a lot of things that aren't ready, and a lot more testing/fixes/updates to be done before we can start putting together a fully-loaded server pack for 1.7. It is in the works and I'm keeping an eye on the updates. As things get released, we can test them out in SSP. As far as a timeframe on this, I don't expect to have a 1.7 modpack ready until 1.8 forge/mods start happening. At that time, most of our favorite mods will likely be fully updated for 1.7.
Other minor news:
I updated the sidebar so it's not as overwhelming and simply directs to a post with the instructions.
