gollark: I find vanilla kind of boring myself, personally.
gollark: I see. As a mod-liking person, I'd generally prefer 1.12.2 with probably about 30 random tech/magic/utility/whatever else mods, but eh.
gollark: Wait, what mods will this server have? And version?
gollark: I don't know if mine officially supports it or not; it seems like they *kind of* designed it as upgradeable, because there are dedicated RAM/SSD access panels, but said access panels are also really annoying to add/remove.
gollark: It was very cheap, though installing an SSD and more RAM was *annoying*.
