gollark: That's not related.
gollark: There are multiple issues I can see:1. modded servers have fewer players, so less econofun2 (probably more significant). modded results in basically creative play for anyone and no trading3. specialization does not happen
gollark: I read https://www.alicemaz.com/writing/minecraft.html recently (a bit of writing on economic shenanigans) and thought "hmm, it's a shame no modded servers could work like this".
gollark: Not what I meant.
gollark: How does that need a pregenerated world?!
