Hi! someone hinted there was demand for a minecraft blightfall server and I had this cpus lying around.

Blightfall is a modded adventure mod for minecraft, about surviving on a bad day in a space colony gone wrong. The mod itself is pretty big, loads of quests and stuff to do!

Have a look yourself, I'm not gonna spoil anything. PM for ip, escaped lunatics need not to apply.


Server's using the modpack version 2.1.2

Spoiler: this is what blightfall alone is doing to the server, tell me if you get any performance issue (click to show/hide)

[Putnam]

no just post the IP here it'll be fine that has never gone wrong before

(oh my god has it gone wrong, hahahaha)

[LoSboccacc]

server died again

usual death:

 java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded
        at java.util.Arrays.copyOf(Arrays.java:2367) ~[?:1.7.0_79]


that thing isn't happy with 3g of ram. will try tomorrow with 4, I'll have to reinstall and configure the server.

[Orange Wizard]

For modded servers you kinda need to give it all the RAM you can spare.

In any case, please send me the IP and I'll probably hop on tomorrow or something.

[Sappho]

Yeah, as much RAM as you can spare should go to it. I give mine 8 GB and I haven't had any problems (but I have 16 GB total so it's not a big deal to do so).

I'll definitely want in on this as soon as it's up and running! Sending official PM now...

By the way, we should organize who is going to which biodome. We don't all want to end up in alpha and beta or we'll run into problems.

[LoSboccacc]

yeah but server ram is the only thing that actually cost money nowadays. I'm drowning in cpus, but 4gb ram is all I can put on a single instance

[Putnam]

...Really? Memory is cheap as shit and CPU time is way more expensive, at least as a software development guideline.

[Sappho]

How much would it cost you to upgrade? Maybe those of us really desperate to play could chip in, if it's necessary? Crowdfund a nice Blightfall server?

[Orange Wizard]

...Really? Memory is cheap as shit and CPU time is way more expensive, at least as a software development guideline.

To be fair, having buttloads of CPUs won't make much difference with Minceraft since the game logic is single-threaded anyway.

[LoSboccacc]

...Really? Memory is cheap as shit and CPU time is way more expensive, at least as a software development guideline.

until you get to the cloud, what happens is they can oversell cpu, but cannot oversell ram, so the situation reverses. I'm using a dirt cheap provider and still it cost 30$/Gb (cloud at cost does one time lump sum payments, I hate the 'pay as you go' model for personal stuff)

[LoSboccacc]

update: so apparently the problem was openjdk, not blightfall. using oracle it stays happily within 2Gb. But I'll leave it at 4G until we see some actual usage stats.

putnam I see you in the logs being disconnected. any message on your side? here doesn't say.

upupdate:

aaaaaaaaaand it died again, this time seems a standard mod error:

[05:53:36] [Server thread/ERROR]: Encountered an unexpected exception
net.minecraft.util.ReportedException: Exception getting block type in world
        at net.minecraft.world.World.func_147439_a(World.java:354) ~[ahb.class:?]



sorry guys I'm at work now was assuming the pack was more stable. will debug this evening (I'm in CEST timezone btw), but I''ll keep restarting the server as it dies, maybe it stabilizes.

[Putnam]

"invalid session", which afaik is client

EDIT: yo looks crashed again

EDIT 2: also it's 3 am

[LoSboccacc]

aaaand it's liveeeeee

Spoiler: nerdy things (click to show/hide)

sorry I'm good at computers, not at friends XD

anyway probably best if you plan and burst gaming sessions.

[LoSboccacc]

server started hitting the swap, restarting it. it was fine after great order played it properly cleaned up the memory (I was watching the monitor live)

but after the last session it gummed up everything. I'll rebot manually a couple time if it keeps happening, and if it doesn't stop I'll just add a script to reboot every six/twelve hours or something.

please be patient with it, it's young and foolish

[Sappho]

As long as the server is up, I'll probably come on and play a bit in a few hours. I'm thinking of starting at Delta, to give everyone some space. With a boat, the first few exploration quests are still pretty simple (and it won't be long before we can all teleport everywhere anyway). I figure I can get a farm up and running, do some mining, make the place habitable. I'm assuming no one else has gone there yet.
