Khorne posted:I don't think it's on the ftb launcher. You need to use the curse launcher or CPMDL which is better than that dumpster fire of a launcher. Man honestly Curse launcher is fine and it basically has the most seamless 'get more resource packs or mods' thing any launcher's offered so far. Like it's not the best and there's bloat but as far as 'does it let you play modpacks and do most modpack-related stuff' easily' the answer is absolutely yes.

Khorne posted:I agree kinda. But you have to click over to minecraft, it doesn't close when you hit exit launcher, and it takes forever to load like all curse programs. I really do not like the curse launcher at all compared to the other launchers for distribution of existing packs. For adding in some mods or doing your own pack it's pretty convenient not going to lie. It also has issues with non-windows OSes while most MC stuff doesn't. I'd argue that having one extra click is pretty minimal levels of bullshit compared to the benefits; but I'll give you the irritation of not closing. At this point it's my preferred launcher for a number of reasons.
I mean, it's certainly not a dumpster fire.

As an almost total Minecraft newb: If I am looking for a certain geography in a Minecraft world (specifically, I need a hilly piece of land in the default biome about 500x500 squares that is next to a big lake and has a river in it) is there a 3rd party tool that can allow me to quickly scan through a map? Ideally some piece of software I could enter a world seed in and it'd show me a big overview of the map from top down.

I used this thing when I gave up on finding a jungle by wandering around and it worked pretty well. It won't be accurate if you're using got mods changing/adding biomes, and I don't know how good it would be at finding hills, but maybe it'll help.

DOWN JACKET FETISH posted:help, i'm a big retard and can't work out how to get Project Ozone 2 on the FTB launcher. i have never played a mod on it that isn't on the FTB Modpacks or 3rd Party Packs by default You have to download it from the Curse Launcher. I hate all launchers, so I only use them to find the packs then copy all the mods into a MultiMC instance.

i'm sure this gets asked a lot, but, are there any packs that are sort of like BFSR or skyblocks or whatever but they focus on magic mods and the like? mostly just stuff that isn't hardcore tech mods because those bore me to absolute tears.

I booted up Project Ozone 2 again today. I had an idea about making a nuclear lava generator based on Crucibles and Yellorium blocks. My mega auto sifter goes through about a stack of coal every minute, and it is starting to become unsustainable. I am cutting down trees constantly just to feed the thing! I started gathering materials, but a "John Cena" Creeper had different plans for me today! Apparently one torch every square foot is not enough, as a creeper spawned somewhere in my base and found its way to me. It blew up in one of the worst possible places too, taking out a full side of my storage, a big chunk of my Smeltery, and all of my Tinkers Construct tool stations. I patched the hole up as best I could and started on repairing the damage       I was very lucky, the Creeper just missed my only Yellorium Block!  Not to take this setback sitting down, I started repairing my smeltery. But, seeing as I was making a pile of Seared Bricks anyway, I decided to take the opportunity to upgrade my Smeltery! It was not processing ores nearly fast enough. I present to you the SmeltMaster 7500. It can process nearly 3 stacks of ores in one go!     I decided to put a double wall of Cobblestone around my storage. It needs to be reorganized, but for now it is less likely to be exploded by any wandering creepers.   After this is returned to my original mission, of creating a lava energy system. All of the fancy new-type pipes were expensive, so I decided to go with Buildcraft Liquid Pipes. I need cactus greens for that so I set up a farm. I made a wheat farm at the same time, so I can grow feed for my fluid cows to breed and make seeds for magic crops!

Check the tops of your storage drawers/multiblocks/anything like that for a lack of light squares. In 1.7.x you can usually hit f7 to see light level, in 1.10.x it's f4 I think.

garden of glass is the first skyblock i've ever tried and so far it doesn't seem so bad? my main hurdle right now is slowly waiting for trees to grow to get more wood so i can get some charcoal and whatever else to eventually make a good bit of livingwood/rock. i've run out of living roots due to making fertilizer and all that for flowers. i guess i should also make a super lovely mob spawn area to work towards bonemeal. kind of dull right now, honestly.

You could probably put together an AutoItScript for that. I've done that for sifting stacks of stuff; point at the sieve, hit the "hold down right click" toggle then go do something else.

In a Skyblock all other matter flows from your first Cobble Gen. If you cheat that in your entire base is a lie.

dirt is at a premium in garden of glass but you can already get infinite cobblestone just from shift-rclicking on dirt to get pebbles, which can be crafted 4 at a time into cobble. from the second you start it you can make cobble and are expected to to even get living roots and extra dirt. making a cobblegen isn't a thing you need to do and the only thing in the way of getting as much cobble as you ever need is rightclicking on dirt. to elaborate: spawning dirt would be cheating, but cobblestone is the most basic thing you have and can use at any given point

You might want to try Project Ozone, it sounds a little better than base Botania. Project Ozone 2 has Botania and Garden of Glass, but it also has a lot of quality of life stuff that is really helpful for a Skyblock like Ex-nilio and a mod that makes trees grow really fast. You can just ignore all of those bad tech blocks! I'm sure you could copy your current save to a Project Ozone 2 instance easily enough, it would have everything just more.

base garden of glass is a pretty rare example of a "modern" skyblock that completely avoids using ex nihilo at all the ex nihilo skyblocks, while perfectly functional, get kinda same-y after a while garden of glass comes with an hour-zero infinite cobblegen built in just by right clicking on dirt, so cheating in an infinite cobblestone drawer doesn't actually let you skip any teching up, just some raw tedium

You could unlock GoG and install TreeGrowingSimulator, which was designed to deal with the waiting-for-trees-to-grow skyblock problem. While I love skyblock, I will admit that they're really dull and same-y in the early game because you really have no choice except to grind cobble and wait for trees to grow.

i might look into getting that mod, because waiting for trees is agonizing. not to mention that i need bonemeal for seeds and mystical flowers, so dumping it onto saplings with the hope they'll randomly grow is dumb as hell.

If you do, go into the mod's config file and set the energy per bump to 100 and the wait time to 10. Makes things a lot faster.

But they said that Minecraft had a lovely, stupid community then, but holy gently caress it's gotten way worse, I guess. I guess it really is mostly like 13 year olds playing it anymore though. I looked at it recently and some of the new content looks kinda neat but they dont, everybody is still basically stuck on 1.7.10 as far as modding, right?

BTW my number one suggestion to improve skyblocks: run them on a map other than a skyblock. PO2 came with a thing that let you generate a 'skyworld' where it would basically make a bunch of dirt islands floating in the sky. I just hate the tedium of building big platforms. If you think Dirt is too cheaty then I'm sure Ice or something else would be good; I think that's what Rub was doing.

Project Ozone 2 comes with a bunch of "sky" worlds, including that glass one from Botania. I went with a scenario that crash lands you on a barren ice world, with only a small escape pod. I think it is a Galacticraft scenario? It tells you to build up enough resources to leave the planet, and if you hit "m" it brings up a solar system map with a bunch of planets to explore. This is much more advanced than I am currently, but I do plan to try reaching those planets in time!
