#YVR! I *love* Cascadia! If you don't have a copy of https://youtu.be/NqiQn9MC5L8, you should at least keep the link in mind when you want to explain why you live in the area. I usually explain, "Like this, only I'm south of the border."
My current server group is suffering whiplash between Forge and Fabric. I *prefer* Fabric, and in fact I'm waiting on an update to Create for Fabric. While waiting, we are playing Auto TerraFirmaCraft (ATFC) on Forge 1.18.2. I'm also using MultiMC to manage keeping the clients in sync with updates and such.
Do you have a preference between the two mod loaders? Are you mostly driven by "what's this mod available on?"
Also, how do you keep your client base in sync? Multi-MC instances? Or are you using another tool? I've considered making it a mod pack, but I'm not clear how best to manage that. It looks like you are using your modpack to manage things for you.
Anyway, thanks for posting your work! It's great to see people doing The Cool Thing with #Minecraft. :)
