ProgressiveCraft Project

When you're done reading, why don't you head to our Discord Server?

ProgressiveCraft Non-Modded

Hey! You might be curious to see all of the sudden '1.0', '1.1' and 'Hack Slash Mine' servers popping up (well, its just ours and there's one of each!). Well, we're running our new ProgressiveCraft Project by AugustJB/August's Lounge.

Every year, the project will create a new fork from the previous Minecraft version. So we had previously launched a Minecraft 1.0 server, which is still running and will run indefinitely, around January 2025. Then the same said server forked to create another server (Minecraft 1.1) around December 2025 (though the original plan was to be January 2026). We also are now forking to create a new historical modpack/modded server and this year we chose to fork off a Hack Slash Mine Server despite it being a update further in the future.



So? Like what you hear? Oh you want to know where we'll fork next? Our next plan is to fork a new server for 1.2.X around 2026 December (or 2027 January) along with a Tekkit Classic Fork. However, do NOT ask me to make a ModLoaderMP server unless you can manage to send me every single multiplayer version of each ModLoaderMP mod you want in a pack.

How Do I Join?

Well! Glad to hear you're interested! We're currently using the Beta Craft launcher (which you can use as well), or alternatively, just use the normal Minecraft launcher with Java Args: -Dhttp.proxyHost=betacraft.uk -Dhttp.proxyPort=11707

Why the Java Args? Well, we still want to have skins visible. If you're less likely to care about everyone looking like Steve then you can just skip that and just launch regular old Minecraft. Below are the IPs of the two current non-modded servers:

Minecraft 1.0: 45.143.198.46:25572
Minecraft 1.1: 54.39.221.19:25659

Are There Game-Modes?

Yes, in fact there's two game-modes, apart from the modded Hack Slash Mine experience. Due to the lack of difference between 1.0 and 1.1 we have decided to allow 1.0 to be the main survival server while 1.1 is mostly a factions server (so you can raid and the PvP aspect is more encouraged!).

What's Next?

Due to 1.2.X being close and well, it's got Skyblock, we're planning on porting the survival world to it and utilising MultiverseCore and separate world inventories to allow Skyblock and Survival to co-exist in that version when it comes next year.

Hack Slash Mine

So what is "Hack Slash Mine"? Well, from the official Minecraft Forum post from Frizzil (the creator of the mod), as quoted:

Quote:Hack/Mine is a customizable, action-RPG hack n' slash mod for Minecraft (like Diablo II or Torchlight) with an emphasis on teamwork, twitch, and strategy. It currently features sprawling, randomly generated dungeons, randomly generated loot, a live combat display and radar, a stat system with unique mechanics, a customizable class system with utterly scriptable spells and skill trees

Why Hack Slash Mine?

I consider Hack Slash Mine one of the earliest experiences I've had of modded Minecraft, especially after seeing the Yogscast play it back in the day. It is also much more considerably easier to make a server for than Yogbox, which I had tried but found out, unfortunately, that Millenaire 1.2.3 does NOT have a ModLoaderMP server version. It's such a mess working with ModLoaderMP and modding a 1.2.3 server but I had learnt from it at least. Nonetheless, this is one of the early mods that people have issues to finding a server for and I decided to post a server that is going to continue indefinitely with the launch of the 1.1 Minecraft Server for my "ProgressiveCraft Project".

How Do I Join the Hack Slash Mine Server?

Well, I'm glad you asked! Here's a easy step-by-step guide!:
(via Technic Launcher with proxy: -Dhttp.proxyHost=betacraft.uk -Dhttp.proxyPort=11707):

1. Download Technic Launcher: https://www.technicpack.net/
2. Go to the "Launcher Settings" -> Java Settings -> Java Args.
3. Add this on a new line:
-Dhttp.proxyHost=betacraft.uk -Dhttp.proxyPort=11707
4. Search and Download Hack Slash Mine.
5. Launch. Then Add Server: 194.164.96.157:25601

Well then, What Are The Rules To The Server?

To be fair, with the lack of any moderating plugins (PermissionsEx, Essentials, etc.) we will have some issues moderating so we're going to slim them down a bit. Here are current official rules as follows:

1. No slurs or discrimination. Just be nice to each other.

Oh, That's It?

Yes that's it! Well, except, maybe you should join our official Discord Server!

Have fun hackin', slashin' and minin'!
