Hardcore LAN with Mods

How many of you are hardcore minecraft survivalists? I play with some of my friends and have been tinkering with a few mods trying to make the game a bit more challenging and give it more options. Currently using MagicLauncher as it allows my friends to easily manage mods that we can use together to make the game more fun. Usually the first person to die buys pizza the next time we play. Gives us real incentive to stay alive :). Also using the Minecraft Forge mod and optifine mod installed on all of our MagicLauncher configurations as a base.

What about all of you? How are your LAN games setup?
