On that note, I recently had a problem on my server where a world border showed up out of nowhere and there was nothing I could do to affect it; I assumed it must have been the host collaring me due to how much space I was using due to doing backups too frequently or something. However, on a whim, I decided to sift through my config folder one more time, just to make sure it wasn't on my end before I started bitching at my host's tech support, and after some fuckery eventually figured out that Warp Drive had imposed the world border. I was pissed off and went and shouted at the dev about how nothing mentioned that the mod would do that and it was only the fact that a number in a celestial objects definition file matched the dimensions of the world border that I suspected it was the cause. And the dev replied with: quote:I understand you're unhappy from lack of understanding how celestial objects are working. Like you, I wish a decent YouTuber would make a tutorial for the mod to explain what the celestial map is for easier access. I get people hoping for someone like Mischief of Mice to summarise a complicated mod for them but why the gently caress would the dev wait for someone to cover the mod so they don't have to explain it themselves!?

Documentation is hard. No, seriously, documentation is hard- organizing information in a format that is presentable, i.e. not actively unpleasant to read or move through accessible, i.e. composed to actually make the person understand and not just be a pile of facts and complete, i.e. covering every topic and item that appears it's hard! Actual companies pay people to do just this for them! On top of which, if you're not getting paid to do it and really even if you are, it's boring work and very one-sided; people will complain all over, rightfully, about a lack of documentation but it's really rare to earn significant appreciation over just a powerful documentation*. For a bunch of mod creators who just want to play around with code shenanigans, or post a cool new feature to their reddit to earn some more patreon subs so they can pay rent, documentation is rarely a focus- especially if you believe you can get a youtuber to do it for you so you don't have to spend the effort. * - ironically because of all the bad documentation minecraft's the one common exception to this, though it does have to be very good documentation like Thaumcraft's book. However, Minecraft is also the most normalized to 'just get a youtuber to do it.' in summary, minecraft modding is a land of contrasts

"Documentation is hard" is a pretty non-controversial statement, but "Documentation is hard" in response to "Why didn't you mention your mod places a world border on the overworld, making it one of exactly two things that exist that place a world border on the overworld, the other of which is the addon called World Border?" is pretty lame. The idea that someone would come across a world border at 5k out and think, "poo poo how did this get here? Better do a search-in-files of my config folder for 'world border'. Oh a Celestial Objects XML file talking about defining the size of planets in space and their orbit? That makes complete sense." is quite a loving reach, and to expect that instead of writing, "By default this places a 10k world border on your overworld, look in this file to alter that." is ridiculous.

I will always be angry that modders decided that some breathless nerd talking for 45 minutes is a better way to get information across than a wiki I can scan for the single thing I need to know.

I'm gonna be cross posting a steam thread, but is there a mod or game that turns minecraft into basically Factorio, with conveyor belts, complicated crafting trees, and the constant need of defenses from things that want to kill you? I want a reason to build a base that isn't just "I need a place to hold my digiminer and my Refined Storage system." I want there to be waves of block destroying (not like super fast, but enough that I need to not just ignore the mobs,) creatures that get progressively harder as I skill up, but minecraft combat is crap so I guess I want automated turrets and a reason to want to fill them? I guess I just want a first person factorio that's 3D, but also that isn't Satisfactory (which has no reason for defenses or to kill anything.)

Ever try FortressCraft Evolved? It's pretty much all of that, but it's also fairly janky and with some loving weird controls. Also the dev quit working on it and declared it 'complete'. Might be just what you're looking for.

That seems pretty close to a minecraft and factorio combination, but you can't really build fortifications (despite the name) because the bugs fly over your walls. That said, they are apparently more of a source of loot drops than anything else since even if your core structure is destroyed it just respawns after a while. There's no losing condition.

Not sure whether to post this here or in the main minecraft thread, I am looking for some kinda mod or tool that let's me mess with world generation and biome spawns. Basically, I want to create an area that is guaranteed to have every vanilla biome inside of it. Me and a friend were playing that Pixelmon mod way back and the search for specific biomes kinda got on our nerves, especially when you try to find like a single desert biome and end up finding nothing but forests forever. Best case would be a way to tell the game to spawn everything inside a pre-determined radius and just create oceans around it or something. Since I doubt something like that exists, maybe a tool that lets you "paint" a biome generation map which the game then uses during world generation would be nice as well. At least that way I can also try and be a bit creative with how everything is placed. Hope somebody here has some experience and can me help out on how I could best make this work.

An alternative is Nature's Compass - it essentially works like the vanilla compass, except you can set it to point to any biome you want.

Quick question though, will having mods alter the biome generation? I think at least that Pixelmon does not add any new biomes, so my guess would be that it should be fine but as you can imagine I am not an expert on these kinda things

But if you want to be extra sure you can create the world in vanilla and load it up once you install the mods.

Though I do like the idea of a continent with all biomes on it, if anyone knows of something like that. Most of my time not spent in the area I settle is just looking for a specific biome for things. Like a desert, jungle or mesa if I hadn't settled there. So having they all in fairly 'close' proximity would rock.

Anybody have any cool Skyblock-style (or just cool in general) modpacks for a guy that's running Minecraft with only 3.6 gigs of RAM available? I've been playing Sky Odyssey, and EMC is super cool, but I'm in the mod for something a little more exploration minded.

Going to be mostly quarentined, don't have a gaming computer, but found out about mcedit and thought "hm maybe mods would be fun if I could build stuff out of game mode instead of having Al these cool things to do but being unable to do anything until my character builds a giant room for them one block at a time" However, have tried two modpacks launched from multimc and something weird is going on. They sort of launch and there's sound but there is no window. Work computer is a high end Dell machine with an Nvidia graphics card This is not the first time something like this has happened, where should I go for help. I eventually want to buy a gaming laptop and I might as well figure out what's going on now.

First figure out if the issue is the packs you selected. Try some other packs and if they don't work you know its a problem with the launcher. Next try the Twitch Launcher, if that doesn't work than you can assume there is a problem with your computer itself, etc.

I got a new comp back in Nov. I had been on a lovely laptop since 2011 and now that the rage of playing all the games I've missed in the last 10 yrs has slowed down I've finally reinstalled Minecraft. I was really hoping that MultiMC would have come around in my absence, jerks. Had to reinstall Twitch for a newer modpack. Even on a new computer its a pile of crap. Horrid on a slow laptop. But I wanted a newer 14.4 modpack because I like the newer updates. Also this is the first I've even been able to run shaders, so nice. Been playing the Modernized pack, which is decent because it has a lot of mods I've never used before like Silents Mechanism for grinders and such. https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/modernized

Does it show up as a window in Alt+Tab? You can try right-clicking the task bar and selecting "cascade windows" to bring it back to the main screen or select the program on the task bar and Windows key + left/right arrow to try to get it back.
