An Ultimate Remastered server (Minecraft 1.4.7) with a suite of custom-built systems. Here's everything running on it.
A community-created Minecraft 1.4.7 modpack aiming to be similar to FTB Ultimate with new content, and without the bugs, crashes and exploits.
Built on FTB Ultimate for Minecraft 1.4.7, a pack that hadn't been updated since May 2013. Ultimate Remastered improves on the original while preserving the classic mod ecosystem of that era. The Favoured Craft runs this pack with extra custom systems on top (listed below).

Quality-of-life tools for Mystcraft: a /instabilities command that reveals an

A custom ground-item cleaner that keeps the server smooth without eating your loot: items dropped close to players are spared from the sweep, so nothing important gets wiped by accident.
A two-way chat link between the server and Discord: in-game messages show up in Discord with each player's name and head as the avatar, and messages from Discord appear in game chat. Stay in touch with the community even when you're away from the game.
An in-game multi-page guide book: server rules, banned items and a beginner's tutorial for the modpack. All content is plain editable text.
Custom multiplayer server list with a bundled server icon and a multi-line, coloured MOTD. The server already appears in the list on first launch.
Shows "Playing on The Favoured Craft" in each connected player's Discord activity.
A Discord bot that shows the server status in its presence e.g. "Playing on TFC (9/512)", and "Watching TFC (offline)" in Do-Not-Disturb when the server is down.
The server is brand new, so a few bugs may still slip through. If you run into one, report it issues are taken seriously and fixed very quickly based on player feedback.
