That said, if you like a challenge go ahead haha, but you're gonna have no idea what's going on. Mojang is however beginning to phase out old versions of minecraft. If you Try to run ye olde Yog Box which has thaumcraft 1 or 2, I don't know, you can install and run the game but there will be no sound or music because mojang made the sounds for that version unavailable for download, you will have to get your sounds and music elsewhere.

Does half-decent documentation for the “Better With Renewables” section of Better With Addons exist anywhere? That specific section of the in-game documentation is incomplete, the config has extremely vague descriptions of everything, and the forum thread for the original BTW version of BWR is purposely vague because “discovery is half the fun” or some poo poo.

oh my look at the time, it is modder being dumb and petty o'clock. Thread on reddit about drama with the Corail Tombstone Mod. Unlike Plustic it looks like the modder for Corail just took his ball and went home. If CurseForge wasn't just bought out I'm sure adding code that intentionally crashes if it detects another mod is probably not something they'd like.

That doesn’t seem to be true, BWA adds a whole section to the BWM in-game manual that provides decent documentation for some modules, and the config and github wiki clarify most of the rest. But for some reason the skyblock/renewables section is incomplete. There’s an index for it, but none of the pages have content.

So, a lot is made about not having a hoe in the first age of sevtech, and how you'll have to trade for farmland (I know that's not true, but the quest tricks a lot of people into not noticing there's just a recipe for it) but I just learned that you can just throw seeds on top of wet mud and they'll just grow. I had a full inventory and tossed some wheat seeds and when I came back there was just wheat growing there.

Anybody know of a way to see all items that can’t be crafted? Mod-supplied crafting methods included. Basically anything that won’t show something when you left-click it in JEI.

So Mekanism v10 (for 1.16.1) was just released and it has changed one of the things I didn't like about the previous versions. You can finally do both input and output from the same side. Also it added a RS/AE2 style item storage, but no crafting grid or autocrafting. Now to wait 4 years for there to be big modpacks for 1.16. Edit: I do wonder if the Osmium Compressor is no longer wasting osmium ingots if you put in multiple ingots when enriching glowstone or obsidian.

It would be nice if they released v10 for 1.15 as well. Who am I kidding, I've been playing Mekanism packs for 7 years I'll probably download Enigmatica 6 once it's approved and play with v10 mek.

ME^5 feels pretty good so far. Being able to turn keepinventory on removes a lot of the frustration that might result from the harder combat parts(like the fast-exploding creeper spawners while you're fighting over void). You can also turn the difficulty down which is probably a good idea since it seems pretty difficult to get a decent set of armor.

A silver sword helps a lot if you can get the part from a tier 2 tinker loot box. For me the hardest part was the room full of mushroom skeletons, which you could probably cheese with water florbs.

Anyone have personal favourite Skyblock packs they want to sell me on, maybe with accompanying caveats? I'm looking to host a server for a few friends and want something with some meat to it but without being too overwhelming. I enjoyed SkyFactory 4 but I'm only on the brink of understanding Applied Energistics myself, let alone being able to explain it to anyone, and the prestige system and high-tier prestige unlocks are a bit too insane to deal with.

I...sincerely doubt this will happen, because Forge and Fabric are architecturally incompatible. They both hook into and/or modify base classes of the game and cannot coexist. It's possible that someone will create a Fabric compatibility layer for Forge, or vice-versa, but again unlikely.

By major versions, you mean Forge for 1.12.2 and 1.15, right? Generally even the mods that have required libraries still have specific versions of the mob and libraries for each version of Minecraft and the associated major revision to Forge. Forge and Fabric are, currently, and it looks like architecturally, mutually exclusive. Some mods have both Fabric and Forge versions, but you can't run Forge and Fabric simultaneously in the same instance of Minecraft.

So Material Energy. I played 3 and loved it, I bounced hard off 4 a number of times, and 5 was very excellent. I agree that as a solo player, 5's combat got to be a bit much about 2/3 of the way through. I really liked the way you had to make do with whatever tinker parts came out of the loot crates instead of instantly making the optimal weapon. The worst part was one area that just forced you to grind materials to progress, but it only took a couple hours and that's because I just let it run with my garbage machines instead of expanding operations to speed it up. I cheated with creative/spectator once or twice, especially near the end when I was expected to mine materials in a huge room with rapidly spawning skeletons (with the spawner encased in reinforced obsidian). The room would fill with 15-20 skeletons shooting rapid fire flame arrows that killed me in 3-4 hits with full armor. The obvious, painful solution would have been to build forward to the spawner an eventually disable it, but it got a gently caress-it-peaceful from me. A couple of the other final areas were just overtuned combat slogs so they got skipped as well. Make sure you do the quests in order because I broke progression at least twice and had to use edit mode to fix it. Once in the third zone I killed a quest mob before the quest was open and it wouldn't complete, and in the final set of zones I grabbed the quest item before completing the pre-requisite quests. Then I accidentally completed ALL quests because I'm not familiar with the ftbquests and that broke the final boss encounter, so I had to go down into the command block section of the map and fix that (the quests spawns a redstone block next to a command block that spawns the boss, but it couldn't spawn because it already placed the block before I had put the spatial disk in). The areas were beautifully sculpted and interesting, the production quests were a healthy mix of reasonable and optional, and the pack kept it pretty fresh the whole way through. Not perfect but highly excellent. Going to play it again with my wife because she digs exploration packs and hand-crafted stuff is always the best.

Rocko Bonaparte posted:Aren't there already major mods using various abstractions in common libraries to support multiple major versions of Forge simultaneously? No. That existed very briefly between 1.10 and 1.11 with a compat mod made by Mcjty (rftools dev) but it never caught on. No notable mods besides his own ever used it, and it only worked because the changes between 1.10 and 1.11 were tiny. A similar compat layer wasn't made for any other versions. Re: fabric/Forge, I've never used fabric but developers say that there is no limitations to what it can do compared to Forge. The primary difference is that Forge provides a ton of preexisting hooks into the base source code to facilitate common functionality, but makes it difficult to add new ones, while fabric adds almost no basic hooks like that but allows them to be easily created by mod devs. In theory this makes fabric potentially even more open-ended than Forge, but likely slower to initially develop for. Updating between versions (for both fabric itself and fabric mods) should be much faster than with Forge though. Guess we'll see how things play out in the next year or so.

At one point I was using a modpack that had a completely loving absurd modular inventory extender. I think it was Ender-themed, and for some pretty costly materials you could slot expansion chips into it and add on extra side panels, multiple pages of inventory to toggle through, and increase maximum stack sizes exponentially to where you could fit probably a quarter million cobblestone on a single tile. I think the item itself was called something like "handy pack" but I can't for the life of me remember the mod name or anything that's yielding search results. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

If it is updated, I guess check the bug reports to see if anyone else has reported it?
