Is there a sort of one-stop-shop website for me to go to where I can pick & choose whichever mods I want for whichever stable Minecraft release? I tried to get back into this last year, but any of the modpacks I tried all felt waaay too bloated and kitchen-sinked, so now I'm trying to go along the oldschool route of just installing a few magic and tech mods, plus some quality of life stuff. I've looked at the curse launcher, but it looks to be similar to the technic launcher, in that it lets me browse finished modpacks. I'm basically looking for something like Aslain's mod manager from WoT, or Nexus Mod Manager from Skyrim. I really, really want to try the latest Thaumcraft version, plus Mekanism and/or AE, if I recall those mods correctly. But Thaumcraft 5 (?) doesn't appear to be updated to the latest minecraft release, so there's my problem. Any recommendations?

Use the Twitch launcher. (It used to be the curse launcher.) If you make a custom profile, you can add mods piecemeal using a GUI.

Thaumcraft 5 died in the rear end on Minecraft version 1.8, a version pretty much nobody else supports or cares about. I'm not really even sure how completed the mod was back then; there was a lot of talk of people being excited about the wireless essentia stuff but I'm still not sure if it ever went anywhere beyond 'it works I guess' before Azanor set his sights on TC6 and then Mekanism and AE2 are on 1.12 though, which is the version you really should be using. (1.12.2 to be exact) Edit: Turns out he's been releasing alpha builds of TC6 on his Patreon pretty regularly, that's interesting. Black Pants fucked around with this message at 13:57 on Jan 1, 2018 |

Alas, this modpack is neither on any of the mainstream launchers nor the most recent version of Minecraft, but it does looks neat: https://www.atlauncher.com/pack/Homesteadquote:Homestead is a quest-based hardcore survival pack. Highly inspired by TerraFirmaCraft, it offers a revamped tech tree and new game mechanics.

Thaumcraft is a paid mod now. You can play TC6 if you give him $25 a month on Patreon.

It's just for alpha development versions you can get early access to. He's not going to charge for it when it's done. If you unsubscribe you stop getting updates. You'd think people would know how Patreon works by now. Edit: it's a 'support me and you'll get to see what I'm working on' deal, not a 'you must pay me to play Thaumcraft' deal, to make it clearer.

I don't know of any fluiduct "leak" issue offhand, but if you give me something I can reproduce, I'll take a look. We tested them pretty extensively with our own tanks, but maybe there's somewhere we overlooked and they can be stupid-proofed. Admittedly, TD is getting a full on rewrite at some point, but I'd still like what we have to work on a basic level without issues like that.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Mekanism. My ore quadrupling setup took ages to get working correctly (using TD for everything but gases), and then kept crashing my game every time I went near it. I've since removed a lot of the pipes and just stacked the machines next to each other, which seems to have solved my problems.

Hi Thread, If I want to play modded minecraft with a friend online, my best bet is to rent a server, right? Besides making sure it has forge, is there anything else I should look for? Can anyone recommend a server host? There's approximately 5 million different hosting options.

If you're just playing with one other person you can probably host and play on the same machine without having to rent an actual server. I've done so successfully with a number of modpacks (haven't tried with any 1.10+ packs), and neither of the computers are very beefy. Granted that is on our local network which makes connecting easy, so that may be a factor if you do host yourself.

Yeah, I just plan to play with one other person, though I would be playing over the internet as opposed to LAN, so I don't know if connecting would be difficult. Specifically I want to play with my ~11 year old cousin, so I want to avoid anything too complicated to connect to.

I used roxservers.com for about a year and they do a good job for small modded servers. Choose the one limited by player count and it's about €3 a month. They'll even install the mods for you if you ask nicely. Check the billing though, they managed to gently caress up and double charge me for a while. Otherwise they were great.

Most of the complicated stuff is on the hosting end, but even that's not too bad. You'd need to forward ports from your router and look up your outward facing IP address. I can't help with the first one, but for the second, just type "what is my ip" into Google. Then you should just be able to tell your cousin that plus the port you forwarded from, separated with a colon like x.x.x.x:ppppp. That should let them connect. If you have any way to connect from outside, like from work or a friend, it could be good to test it out first before having the kid connect just to make sure there wasn't anything you missed.

That brings back memories of so many server ads on the Technic forums..."Only up when I am so usually from $time to $othertime but idk lol" Just pay the $3 or so for a small personal server instead.

I appreciate the advice, everyone. Ultimately, ~3 dollars a month is low enough for me that I went with server hosting. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get both bukkit (or spigot I guess) and forge working together. Is that even possible?

It costs a lot more than $3 to rent a server with enough memory to run most >1.10 packs. Another good reason to stay on older versions.

Mekanism's got some decent bits. The Atomic Disassembler is a great pickaxe/axe/shovel multitool. The fluid tanks can work as big buckets, and it has the Fluidic Plenisher for being both a pump and for being similar to the old buildcraft floodgate.

Mekanism 1.9's steam turbine is vastly superior to the Big/Extreme Reactors one.

In 1.12.2, running Rise of the Pack, I've noticed my Mekanism ore quadrupler setup keeps stopping, and it all comes down to the Mekanism pipes. They stop flowing, and the only way to fix it is to break all the pipes and replace them. I plan on ripping it all out and just chucking a bunch of Thermal furnaces in its place. It's not worth the effort, and I'm at the point where I'm getting enough ore through my void miner and quantum quarry that I don't need to worry about MAXIMUM YIELD any more.

Mek's currently got a bad problem with pipes completely dying when they become un-chunkloaded or if you change dimensions. Relogging fixes it. But yes that part is a massive X-mark against it.

I've only had an issue with a pipe once on my server running the ore quintiplication thing, but it's good to know what caused it. I'll replace them with fluiducts if it happens again I guess.

I have seen this on older 1.6.4 Thermal expansion, if the pipes go over a chunk border (F9 twice to see the chunks in most packs) then due to the mod author using a global static to calculate the networks it crashes the moment any multi threading is involved (like most servers use)

I've had a ton of issues with TE servos and Mek pipes in MSB2. The servos have been the worst though. It's usually the same ones too, I'll break them, get them working, leave and come back and it will have stopped again. Chunkloaded with different methods, not chunkloaded, crossing chunks, all in the same chunk, nothing seems to make a difference.

I've been getting the itch to get back into things, and specifically to play with the Direwolf20 pack (with Mekanism added, because Industrialcraft is garbage). Is the Twitch launcher no longer a dumpster fire? I'd rather use the Technic launcher, but even if there's 1.12 packs on there, there's no way to sort by Minecraft version, and it's certainly not going to have the Direwolf pack.

If you don't like twitch launcher, get multimc, go into settings and set it to update to development version, that version supports curse modpacks.

I always thought MultiMC just slapped itself on your hard disk wherever you dumped it so you should be able to just setup another copy somewhere. Now that feels odd: having two versions of the same program that manages multiple versions of modpacks.
