What does a colored name mean?
Colored names are for donors to our server. If you donate, message a staff member and request a custom name color (available colors http://wiki.ess3.net/mc/).
There are also chat tags for Staff.
[A] is for Admin
[M] is for Moderator
Gameplay
How does chunkloading work on the server?
You can chunkload as much as you'd like, but please be smart about it and try not to build laggy setups in general. If your build becomes an issue a staff member might break parts of your build and inform you about it.
Are there any banned items?
No, we don't ban any items. We believe in trust in our community and don't want to limit our players. We do disable items if they affect the experience for everyone on the server and do have a replacement! You can find those listed on the Modpack Modifications page.
How do I protect my base?
We are asking players to claim their base using the FTBUtilities' team, and chunk claiming functionality.
Why isn't spawn protected?
We don't build an official spawn, we want players to build their own spawn for their needs. You can also use it to put various modded trading blocks there or build a market.
Donating
How do you donate?
You can learn more about donating to our community by going to this page. Thank you in advance! :)
What are the donation benefits?
A big thank you for supporting the server and showing us you value what we do. Also a bunch of small things, like a custom name color in chat and a fancy forum tag.

Where can I find old map downloads?

Server Specs?
CPU: Intel i7 6700
RAM: 64 GB DDR4
Drives: 2 x 512 GB NVMe SSD in RAID1
2 TB Backup Drive
Location: Hetzner Germany
Why don't you have X plugin? (ClearLag, WorldGuard, GoldenShovel, Market, etc)
ClearLag (clears items on the ground)
Not needed, if you build laggy stuff that spills items on the ground you will get warned and if it happens too often you will be banned.
/tpa (Teleporting to other players with a command
We dont want easy teleporting, there's plenty of modded items/blocks to meet with other players or just meet at spawn.
Protection (WorldGuard, Towny, Golden Shovel etc.)
Shop or Market
Use one of the various modded replacements, like the IC2 Trad-O-Mat, Forestry Trading Station, vending mod, Railcraft Trade Station and lots of other ones.
AFK Kick
We don't overfill the server so you should be always able to get online even around the evening hours, we also allow unlimited (as long there's no abuse) chunkloading so that isn't an issue either.
