Looks like that'll be useful for filling empty spaces more than actually storing things. Though it'd be amusing for that to be the only storage solution in a pack, haha.

Crumpets. Glorious Crumpets.
I think the only thing which would have made me laugh harder, is if the mod simply defined the area within the boundaries as a space where entities are exempt from the despawn timer, and then just spit them all out into an unsortable laggy heap on the floor.

Probably makes for pretty cool visual guide to like "ore processing queues". Make an area for each ore you're working on, store it there as step one in the process, loading it out into the machines from there as it works. When it's empty, ore's done! Maybe have an output area too showing off your stocks!

Has anybody had any trouble recently getting Dropbox links working on Technic? It isn't recognizing the URLs like they used to.

You can check yourself if you want:

I can't update BFSR. :(

Dropbox is phasing out the public folder and possibly messing with how links work? The problems may be because of that. I've moved to using my own server space for technic/solder so I don't really know of any good alternatives or workarounds.

Yeah, I was thinking it'd be a decent way to auto-create floors or ceilings or possibly backfill small mining areas. If the output reads every block within its area, it could even be useful as a quarry. Then you just throw the stone and dirt back in.

Replace your chancecubes.cfg files with this, what is does is take out all the bullshit, every bit and make it so the only thing the giant cubes can do is make a BioDome.
The small chance cubes? yeah they just transform in to a big one.
The Isohedrons? they just flat out don't do anything cos I couldn't figure out how to make those spawn a bio dome.

Seriously, I've seen what the cubes can do when made to be fun. Why does turning off everything but the biodome still leave the possibility of your base blowing to? Is it hard coded in? I'd kill to have explanations for what each thing on the config is so I could turn off the bad parts and have them just be random rewards or at worst slightly funny.

I like the idea of combining a bunch of those with storage busses and building a warehouse.

So I think I'm about set with my one-per-category pack; I added a bunch of QoL mods to Nifty's base QoL pack and worked from there. I don't think there'd be any conflicts, but I haven't gone through every single mod yet. I just wanted to see if anyone saw any major gaps in what I should have or maybe a suggestion or two.

CompatLayer's a hard requirement for Mcjty's mods (RFTools etc), it's not going to let other 1.11 mods run (because they have to explicitly use it and other modders aren't bothering)

Add Optifine and throw out Dynamic Lighting, it has the feature builtin, helps performance significantly and rarely has the issues of the past. You also want Foamfix to help with memory issues.

Really? Because it's letting Durability Show work for me, and that's the 1.11 version.

Oh, that's good to know. Dynamic Lighting has this weird thing where the light moving makes it look like I'm getting a bad framerate drop or something. I'm assuming Optifine and Foamfix are just "drop the jar in the mods folder" things?

It's not a bad idea in theory, but it saddles both the 1.10 and 1.11 versions with a lot of extra calls through that API. I'd honestly rather maintain two versions.

Once TD is out, we'll probably march onto 1.11.

I was planning to change all of the chance cube into Loot Boxes, and the "select one of three" lootbox rewards I will replace with rewards that give you a lot of resources or let you sequence break a bit. The point being, you will actually have to make a choice. I was also hoping to add a bunch of stuff to the loot boxes, to make them more interesting.

How do I create a server and install All the Mods on it? I tried opening a lan world on a wireless router not connected to the internet and it worked the first time we played but ever since it's given an authentication error and we can't connect, so I figured I'd create a server and toss the modpack on it but I'm a bit lost.

I have the server up and running I just can't figure out how to use the server files I downloaded here https://mods.curse.com/modpacks/minecraft/242462-all-the-mods#t1:other-downloads to install the modpack.

You download the server files and then you can run either the .sh (linux, probably mac) or .bat (windows) file from console to run the server. If it's crashing on startup you need to the eula=false thing to eula=true in eula.txt.

The modpack is in those files already.

I had to give up on Grimdark. Turned off Mipmaps, bottomed out every "graphics" setting Minecraft has, now running my PC on 16GB of RAM with 6-7GB allocated in the launcher, and still running into serious performance issues that I don't have with any other pack. Keep running into issues where I can't even swing at monsters (read: not game frozen, but visible swing animation and nothing happens, like a lag spike in an online game) because the game won't finish loading the chunks around me even with the draw distance turned way down. Surprisingly, my FPS with the pack stays pretty respectable! The game just can't load chunks to save its life.

Currently messing around with ArdentCraft: The Beginning, which seems to have a similar theme with regard to combat and worldgen, but a bit less exhaustive a modlist. It's clearly unfinished, but perfectly playable as long as you're not too stuck on the quest list. I love this pack's ridiculously extensive cavern systems a lot.

I miss Grimdark's dungeon mods, though. :|

I must be missing a step, server boots up, connect to it, first modded item I create (wooden shears) crashes the game (not the server) with this error java.lang.NullPointerException: Rendering screen


Tried a fresh server and fresh client side install of the mod, still crashing when I just hover over a modded item. Not sure how to proceed.

Bonus Question: What's up with lan connections in minecraft? If I open the game up in my home router (no internet) it gives an authentication error, if we use the internet it just refuses the connection. I've been fiddling with it all day but haven't been able to get anything to work, despite easily opening to lan on the router when we initially started playing.

Vortex, Velocity, Ha, that seems to be all of them besides giant cubes and biodome that were enabled? Will test a few when I get home tonight to see if it was any of those, probably vortex based on the name?

I can worldgen ok locally, server worldgens even better (by which I mean barely manages), but a lot of world is already generated, at least out to ~4k

It's the mods that add dungeons causing most of the strain, this is why roguelikes only appear in the nether and end. I'm looking for something that does pre-generation out to a specified radius, that would be perfect
