I think a large chunk of the userbase is going to switch to GDLauncher, since curseforge got handed to Overwolf, which is bad. GDLauncher seems pretty okay, I just wish it notified me of modpack updates.

Arigatou goons, I'll stick with GDL then  e; This was asked at the end of the last page and actually we're thinking of doing a modded world on our family server as well so if anyone could answer the Mapgoons kudasai Demiurge4 posted:Mapgoons have been running a server for a few weeks and it's pretty popular with a bunch of first time players. We ended up on Mechs and Magic Lite for the first foray but now we're shopping around for another multiplayer friendly pack and looking for suggestions.

in order to move to a newer version of the game so if anyone knows of good packs for 1.16 or maybe a little earlier that'd be greatly appreciated!

Twitch is what basically everyone uses. Use MultiMC if you want to not deal with it and/or have easier control of your packs. Twitch is... Well, twitch, but it works well enough and has basically every pack.

Any reason why I'm unable to provide more than ~5.3 gigabytes of RAM to MC via the Twitch launcher even though I have both the game-wide RAM and the modpack-specific RAM set to 6GB? The little loading bar at the beginning never has more than a ~5300 MB total. Is there another place I should be setting it?Patware posted:You should stop using twitch, for reasons stated earlier in the thread. Okay, well, then...What's Overwolf?

I had an urge to play an environment survival modpack and loaded up Crash on Kepler 10b, and... wow, this is a bit much. You're on a desert planet so of course it's hot, and you start dying shortly from it being too hot, but thankfully there's some water you can find and stand in and it cools you down enough you stop dying. Except then night falls. You don't start with a torch or anything, so I guess you're supposed to sieve up some cobble to make a furnace on the first day?! Or just die And my second tree didn't give me a sapling, but despite enabling cheats in my world JEI won't let me turn cheat mode on? What kind of fuckery is this? The mod that puts text in the bottom right for every sound effect is getting on my nerves too. (okay, that's not a mod, for some reason the modpack sets subtitles on by default) McFrugal fucked around with this message at 07:59 on Oct 1, 2020 |

Something about recent packs require you to open your game to lan to enable cheats, and this + the cheats need to be redone every time for stuff like mob griefing. Otherwise you have to download a program top edit a file in that world.

I really wish you could set something like mobGriefing globally on your computer or account. I don't ever want to deal with creepers blowing holes in the landscape, let me set that once and never deal with it again! Actually I would like the return of the old CreeperHeal mod that would regenerate the blocks taken out by creepers, but I have the suspicion that repairing pipe networks or parts of multiblocks would be an incredible strain on the engine so I've given up on that dream.

I got further in Crash on Kepler 10b, found a broken quest in the questbook (it needed to ignore NBT), edited it to fix it, and then noticed my health was stuck at half a heart missing. Eating did not regenerate it, but still consumed hunger. So something is game-breakingly broken. e: Turns out it's my thirst meter. Also, for some reason, water bottles cause the thirst debuff. ...the thirst meter problem is on by default from the Tough Expansion mod, despite that not having to do with what the mod is supposed to add. Tough Expansion is meant to be an RF-related addon to Tough as Nails, it isn't supposed to change how TaN works goddamn it! It's not even implemented correctly. If regen was disabled from low thirst, then hunger shouldn't go down! On a different note, I figured out you're not supposed to rush cobble to survive the night. All you have to do is get a bunch of string via silkworm trees then make wool armor and wear at least three pieces, which is much easier. So, this modpack isn't actually that bad if you know how to deal with TaN, it's just... got some broken parts you have to fix. McFrugal fucked around with this message at 07:18 on Oct 4, 2020 |

Thinking about jumping back into modded Minecraft after about a year hiatus. Are there any good modpacks that have come out recently that goons recommend? My usual go to is SevTech Ages because I like the sense of progression it has, and you don't get overwhelmed with a million modded items at once. Are there any similar modpacks where you start off learning a few mods, and the world and technology gradually expands?

Well. Crash on kepler 10b is definitely not a good modpack. I got to the porcelain melter part of the questbook and it says to make seared stone by melting cobble. Except... that's not enabled in the configs; in fact the porcelain melter seems to be completely inoperable because the heater won't accept any fuel.

Apparently not this one; but it's not gamebreaking since you can still make grout. That's not disabled in the configs. Maybe the porcelain melter part of the questbook was from an earlier version and it just wasn't removed?

I've never enjoyed using the melter in any pack it's been used in. Just a time waster where I have to babysit it slowly melting one thing at a time while I work on the big smelter. The fact that it's usually just a time stretching stepping stone to the larger superior version and I know what's coming next makes it that much more painful.

I always thought finding enough clay for and then smelting up 2+ stacks of grout was enough of a time sink, I can't imagine needing more than that. There's a reason the first thing I do for Tinker's is make a minimum size smeltery and automate putting a dozen stacks of cobble through it.

SIGH, found another broken part of the modpack. If you eat a Cyclic heart container while your hunger meter is full, you won't regenerate until your hunger meter depletes past full.

Patware posted:Why are you still... playing it Like I said I wanted some environmental survival, and while there are definitely some broken bits they are easy to work around. I looked ahead to see what it'd cost to make a rocket, and... I am worried about titanium. The configs imply it spawns in the nether, but JEI doesn't give me an ore height/chance chart, unlike other ore types. I think I'm gonna go ahead and go to the nether asap instead of spending any time doing anything else, and see if it does indeed exist. edit: yeah I don't think it does. In fact, I went back and looked at the ore config file that mentions titanium (the cyclic one) and it's entirely disabled. I went to the Beneath to see what that ore generation is like and it seems to spawn just about everything... but still no rutile/titanium. So I looked at the Advanced Rocketry files, found the oregen file... and it's empty. Not a good sign. As a last ditch effort I investigated RFTools, to see if I could just create a dimension with rutile or titanium in it... and there are no matching dimlets. As a side note I kept getting quest completion messages as I cheated in dimlet-related RFTools blocks, but as far as I can tell there's no way to view those quests in the questbook.

Ugh okay I guess I was wrong. I found the real oregen config for Advanced Rocketry (it's in the main config file) then decided to go back and explore other possible ways of getting ore, like how oregen works in RFTools dimlets without specifying ores, or via quarries other than environmental tech(since that pulls from a whitelist). I didn't find anything in the dimlet I checked, so I let an extra utilities 2 quantum quarry run for a while. Eventually, after filtering the output, I got it to spit out some rutile. Now that I knew it was possible I went to check the Beneath again and eventually found some there too. It's just annoyingly rare and looks similar to mekanism's copper ore. Kepler 10b being what it is, the author didn't remove any redundant ore generation. I think I'm done with the pack anyway. McFrugal fucked around with this message at 07:50 on Oct 9, 2020 |

Among Trees is a pre-Alpha, sort of mellow survival game about building a cozy cabin out in the woods and cooking beets and stuff. After running through the minimal content that currently exists for it, it really left me wishing there were more slow paced, survival-oriented mods and modpacks for Minecraft. The sort that focused on gradual upgrades to your home and building up to better things while still staying grounded in a sort of man vs nature/survivalist focus. It's a shame that most mods that attempt such a thing end up veering hard into the territory of Tough as Nails, where mechanics are brutally unrealistic and you swelter to death if you look at a torch, or get flesh eating parasites if you drink rainwater that hasn't been quadruple purified. Usually it's just making existing mechanics grindier without changing the overall scope, so everything becomes trivial after the first hour anyway, it's just more busywork in the meantime. It's weird to think that even years later, Terrafirmacraft may still be the best effort at this sort of thing.
