Since a certain Ryan made comments regarding “mods are going to break the server bla bla already slow with vanilla item farms”, I just want to state here that there are actually quite a few mods that are specifically designed to make item farms not only more compact but also reduce the lag they generate, generally by removing entities from the equation.
e.g.
https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/tiny-mob-farm
https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/botany-pots
Yes I am very much triggered.
I still don´t think modded minecraft would be the right solution for a LvL1tech server, since setting up a modded minecraft instance is going to be too diffcult for half the people here. But if you ever want a modpack that is basically vanilla+ focused on Create (This is Create. - YouTube), which would be amazing to see what the crazy people here can come up with, poke me.
