gollark: The server I currently run has mods distributed via a custom node.js installer (to avoid bundling the jars directly, which is probably against most of the licenses), but that's kind of annoying to use.
gollark: And I actually made a drone delivery system before, which ought to still work... the one problem is that it needs a waypoint at the destination.
gollark: I'll look into trimming down the Generic Modpack list and figuring out a good way to distribute a pack.
gollark: HECf-251-ox drone dropoffs: the ultimate griefing tool - wow I really want a community NC server now.
