As far as difficulty it's not really premade vs custom that's the issue, but rather if you want to update the versions of what you picked. If you run experimental builds then you might be forced to because of bugs, but otherwise (if you pick older, stable versions) you don't have to update but you won't get any new additions. This is basically what mod packs are. You can make custom packs of stable releases, you just won't necessarily have prior knowledge of cross-mod interaction. This usually isn't a problem, but you never know. It's probably better not to bother with patching because frankly most of the developers aren't very disciplined (lack of proper test harnesses, methodology, etc.) which means bugs are an inevitability. As to that modpack: I really hate InfernalMobs. Aixler liked it, but I think everyone else disliked it or was neutral. Most of the other stuff seems fine to me (or unfamiliar). You'll need to be diligent with configuration because there are a lot of things that can be customized within this pack. Probably you should configure and reset the server a couple times to test things out before going live. As far as backups go... I expect this server to rapidly balloon to at least a GB in size for the worlds folder. Twilight Forest and Mystcraft add a lot of "stuff" to store. I can spare a 2TB external for storage. The backup script is already written and known to work; the prune script is not tested or deployed. Capacity of the drive and how long you want to keep backups for dictates the frequency at which backups can be done. Realistically you don't need more than 48 hours of backups on a server that's active because if something goes wrong you'll usually know pretty quick and rollbacks of any non-trivial length suck to begin with. At 30 minute intervals and 2GB per backup you could store about 3 weeks of backups, give or take. | ||

1.0 Release TODO Make sure that you keep track of all the config changes you make, so that if something updates, you can use the new config file and make the same changes, to prevent any errors etc. With InfernalMobs you need to remove all the overpowered stuff, and balance/remove a lot of the rewards. Because some mods are so insane you won't be able to kill mobs who have them early on. And any auto spawner setup will give you unlimited iron/diamond/gold/steel. It's fun to fight stronger mobs though, normal ones are so boring! The big advantage of modpacks is that you have others updating, balancing and finding + fixing bugs. Easy life! | ||

From my experience anything that goes beyond handpicking things that you know and understand in in and out updating is just too huge of a deal. Grab something that is big enough that it keeps people entertained for long enough (plan for half a year/year) dive super deep into the configs of all mods involved to make sure it runs like something you'd enjoy for a long time and then aim for a reset after a longer period of time, not an update. It's just not worth it. | ||

I vote joining a server until we get a more up to date FTB veraion, let someone else set up a server for us until it updates | ||

"wait and see" is a strategy that previous setups has proven bad for playability. | ||

Looking forward to a TL server as well if that becomes operational (and I'm eligible for it)! | ||

Maybe likewise for the more common Twilight Forest mobs like Kobolds and Redcaps. | ||
