While Buildcraft has a config option for engines exploding, the default (for the mod and Infinity) is that they don't.

Hey Rocko, great job on the Nether for BFSR. My daughters were both crying after their first foray there and said that it scared them (all the explosions as they enter, the land disappearing around them, the portal being blown out).  I got a great laugh, perhaps I'm a bad father, but thank you.Next time we play I'll see if they're willing to head back. I was able to rescue them and bring them home with no deaths; I had to fill in the Nether portal from the Nether side as the explosions had only half put out the portal, so it wouldn't let it be lit while it also no longer worked.

Kids going  is half the fun. There needs to be a spectre of doom somewhere to keep things interesting.I had originally set that up on accident, but loved the chaos when I playtested. I was hoping in the original teambuilding exercise for which I started the pack that one of the actual Minecraft players would hop in there, but nobody took the bait. I am assuming they figured The Nether was a faraway thing and wrote it off. Unfortunately, I didn't quite pull off everything I wanted. I was dabbling in creating dungeons in The Nether to make spawners for wither skeletons and blazes with chests. The CofH generation overrides supports it, but at the rate I was trying to make them generate, it would cause runaway generation and crash the game. I might still do it after I figure out how to generate a void world for starting my tutorial dimension, but I really should release quest book fixes first. Speaking of all that, I will update the pack sometime this weekend with just quest book fixes. I would have done it already, but my cold turned into a sinus infection, and I blew a good part of Saturday afternoon getting looked at and then running a wild goose chase for my prescription.

Pretty much all the mods with light sources use glowstone in the recipe, as it's a glowing stone but besides the point that the Nether is just void of stuff besides glowstone and I dunno ghast tears or something?

i'm playing garden of glass and i'm trying for the kekimurus achievement where you make a fully automated cake production engine with only one crafty crate allowed and gently caress it is hard i did learn something useful though -- if you use a wand of the forest on a crafty crate, it will attempt to craft whatever is currently in the crate instead of merely ejecting it this made putting the sugar cane into it and turning it into sugar really easy (dispensers work to activate a thing that gets activated by the wand of the forest)

I very rarely go to the nether. I have never seen the point of it. You need to be pretty well geared and dying there means 0 chance of getting your stuff back. I think its another reason why i like blightfall so much, Just dig under the western map for your nether stuff.

I'd be really interested in a mod with a middle ground between keepinventory on and off Like "keep all your valuable poo poo" but you lose like your ores and junk from that run. Maybe you can pick ~10 items to keep and drop the rest?

Khorne posted:Gravestones are in a bunch of mods now and it's pretty much an in between. This doesn't work for falling into the void, or dying in particularly heinous spawn rooms (looking at you, Roguelike Dungeons [but I still love you]). I used to be all about them, but they're a mild inconvenience in the best cases and an awful nuisance in the worst. Better than vanilla, sure, but hardly ideal. I think punishing through inventory destruction is the wrong way to go about it, personally. Maybe having to buy your items back with levels? HQM's limited lives with keepinventory on are a great compromise in the absence of other mods, since you're penalized (how harsh depends on the modpack I guess) but not sandbagged.

Yeah I like limited lives with keepinventory on, particularly the way Blightfall did it where you can freely work to gain more lives. For "keep valuable stuff" I had in mind something along the lines of keeping armor and 2-3 other items, cause a lot of mods make armor go from "helps you not die" to keeping you safe, giving you enhanced mobility, protection from environmental hazards, flight, etc and even if your stuff is safe in a gravestone, having it forcibly taken off of you might as well mean it's lost forever because you need to make a fresh set of just about everything to get back to your gravestone. Vib Rib posted:Subnautica has an interesting take on it. You lose all the stuff you picked up since you last "checked in" at home base, but everything on you when you come home is considered saved. So anything you had when you last left home is not lost, but you'll drop any new ores or whatever you've picked up during that last run. Yeah that's some good poo poo, I was waffling between some kind of savepoint idea and a set of specifically protected items. Magres fucked around with this message at 08:07 on Dec 20, 2015 |

God drat, it is torture trying to figure out how to generate a void dimension correctly. I cobbled together something from tutorials, and it leaves little bugs around. You can only start one new game per run of Minecraft because Minecraft gets angry about there already being a dimension registered at the magic number. So none of these tutorials go into how you're supposed to clean up afterwards. I don't even know if what I did works with Lockdown yet.

Can someone recommend me a modpack? I like Tekkit Legends a lot, but I'm looking for more to build. I haven't worked with Minecraft modding or I'd probably just be trying to wedge Tinker's Construct/Mystcraft/Thaumcraft into Tekkit Legends as it is. I don't want to end up with something that runs as godawfully as Feed the Beast: Infinity does, even after JourneyMap is disabled.

Alternatively (or paired with!), I would love a "deal with Death" mechanic where you can exchange xp, valuables or experience infused items (books!) to get your equipment back from your gravestone, Or you can challenge death and risk loosing everything properly this time if you loose! Configs can decide how much stuff you loose, from Light (what i said above) to Medium (You keep what's in your hand and on your back) to Hard (All of it drops into your tombstone!)

If it is the latter then you have a lot more work to do. On the internet you have an internal and external internet address, You need to tell your friend to connect to the internet address https://whatsmyip.net Then on your router (usually on address 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1) you need to activate a thing called port forwarding and tell it to forward port 25565 to your local ip address (also 192.168.1.x) you can find it by opening a cmd box and typing ipconfig - you are looking for the top IPv4 address (coincidentally the Default Gateway address is usually the address of the router.)

Turtlicious posted:Redtools has something exactly like alternate ages, but not poo poo. RFTools. Heh, we just did a lap on all this some pages ago because I was trying to use MystCraft and RFTools both to set up a tutorial dimension. To summarize: MystCraft will do this "MystCraft is baking a cake" thing when you start a new world that can potentially put your computer on its rear end. As a server owner, it encourages wonton dimension creation and can put the server on its rear end. RFTools does not do the cake baking thing, but it mitigates some of the problems by putting an initial power cost on top of making dimensions. Really, somebody with a super-huge reactor can run off whatever they want, but those people tend to be more responsible anyways <crosses fingers>. In practice, dimension creating is indeed novel at first, but they don't really offer much else extra to the base game. These are not necessarily wildly-different worlds. That being said, running RFTools with Minechem leads to a nice perk of creating oceans of liquid cocaine.

I'm unsure yet if the alternative I am doodling works with it either, so this might not be a problem with RFTools in particular. I figured I'd include it for teleportation and some advanced RF shenanigans. That being said, RFTools would be pretty dumb to put in, say, Hexxit. I think Lite packs generally would discourage alternate dimensions too.

Hi guys, I just want to confirm that installing Java is pretty much the only way to get any mods in the game even though from what I have read, the Minecraft launcher from Mojang no longer needs Java installed on the OS? I am picking up the game again after several years and just want to get some nicer graphics via Optifine and maybe try out those fancy shader mods.
