Network Lag For European Players

FragNet have performed some major upgrades in Frankfurt, Germany, which will give them much better control over network routing when tackling issues such as DDoS attacks, however they are still optimising the new equipment and in the mean time this may be causing some players to experience network lag and random disconnects.

The country you are connecting from and even your ISP will affect the amount of lag you experience (if any) until the optimisations are completed. If you do experience severe network lag then please send me an email at; admin@diggyminecraft.co.uk including your country and ISP so that FragNet can investigate, this will help them identify and fix any issues faster.

Hopefully this isn't affecting too many players and will be resolved soon for those it is affecting!

Modpack Update - Texture Pack

We hit another landmark today, thanks to contributions from various members of the BDCraft/Sphax forums the 64x DiggyVerse texture pack is now 100% complete!

The final version of the texture pack is around 107 MB* and consists of almost 16000 files, but don't let the size put you off we've tested it on a couple of lower specification systems and if you can run the 64x Tekkit Classic pack you should be able to run this fine as well!

*To clarify - 107 MB is the total size of the pack, so that's the patch + vanilla textures combined, making it somewhat bigger than packs like Hexxit but half the size of the YogsCast pack and slightly smaller than current FTB packs.

Modpack Preview - GameWorld Prizes

This preview is of something included in my main mod 'DiggysStuff',

tokens and trophies for GameWorld!

I wanted to do something a bit different with GameWorld on the modpack server so I came up with these, the trophies use a completely custom model made by me and can be placed to face different directions just like a furnace etc!

The tokens and trophies come in Bronze, Silver & Gold, coloured to match the vanilla & Metallurgy blocks so they blend in, but you are probably wondering how these fit in with the GameWorld so here are the main things you need to know:

• We will have 3 tiers of games, with the type of token you get for winning depending on difficulty and/or minimum number of players. 

• You can use your tokens in a special shop in SpawnWorld to buy various items, including trophies of the same type, or sell them for money.
