GTNH has a LOT of forked, modified versions of mods (since 1.7.10 is largely abandonware.) In order to reconcile this, the pack has to have a secondary downloader pull down the changed mods. This process is fragile and Curseforge will randomly screw it up by overwriting mods, so it's unreliable.
GTNH has managed to port their 1.7.10 pack to the latest JRE. That's how custom things are. They also backport all kinds of newer features to 1.7.10 mods.

Thanks for the GTNe tips; I switched over to the Technic Launcher and it’s running wonderfully.

Wow, they've added a lot in the past few years!

I've barely been able to enjoy a video game due to work; sitting down and playing a new seed for a few hours is very therapeutic. What IndustrialCraft-type (or other?!) mods are still good? I see people talking about GregTech in here, but I miss making absurd poo poo like nuclear reactors.

Find a pack with NuclearCraft if you want to mess with more mathy type reactors. BiggerReactors and its predecessor are both still quite common to see but is much simpler.

Ughhh, loving CurseForge. They're now using Cloudflare to block GDLauncher (a piece of software they have a partnership with) from downloading mods. Of course, GDLauncher just imploded my install because of it. Should have backed it up. Only really lost my Sound Muffler settings and maybe some minimap, but still annoying.

Time to switch to Prism Launcher, I guess. Fuckin' hell.

Eh just use curse forge launcher, it’s not that bad and works basically like the old twitch launcher did.

It can be configured to fully exit and also shut down the overwolf service when it does. So I just run it for like 30 seconds to launch a pack, and then close it.

The ads are actually non intrusive normal ads from reputable companies too, not that adfly malware adjacent crap that was popular for a while.

This is why I always duplicate the instance and upgrade the duplicate. Also this might be temporary, they've had cloudflare stuff that prevented gdlauncher form wokring before but it didn't last forever.

Yeah, I usually do, but it's been a bit since I had an issue, so I got complacent.

This looked very specific, it was a browser fingerprint rejection, not just CloudFlare being dumb. I 100% do not want to encourage that behavior and conceding to CurseForge's launcher.

you've been in this thread long enough to know why the curseforge launcher sucks. like it only looks like a viable alternative because overwolf has been doing insanely scummy poo poo with curseforge that amazon wasn't doing when they owned the platform. that's dire. if your main positive is "well the ads aren't that bad" then idk what to tell you king

meanwhile picking up prism after a year or so off of modding minecraft and i can safely say that the launcher rips now. they added the one and only feature that i missed from curseforge/twitch (migrating an instance to a new version when updating) and it seems to generally work way better than how that other launcher handled it. plus it feels very foss and i havent seen a single stupid loving embedded video advertisement. i really dont see any reason to recommend another minecraft launcher outside of inertia

Any active servers running modded of moderate intensity on a fairly recent version (1.17+) besides create? Getting an itch to do something modded (that isn't create) but after playing vanilla for the past few years I find it hard to rip away from some of the modern vanilla features, singleplayer just doesn't do it for me, and I wasn't really all that into create.

I've seen some videos where people involved in these are mad about new EULA stuff cutting back on what they can monetize on these servers and its all so bizzare to me as someone who started playing in alpha and the only servers I have been on are small servers with friends and goons.

Man, some of the hosts behind those big multiplayer servers are utterly psychotic. My job two jobs ago was working tech support at a small data center that aggressively targeted game server hosting and some of the absolute worst customers were the loving minecraft hosts.

Getting called up by some screeching 15 year old mad about why I can't shove more RAM into their server (because it physically cannot hold more than 64GB of RAM you numpty) and why we didn't have some such CPU with higher single core clock speeds and etc. was why I couldn't even look at Minecraft without getting anxious for years.

It's an industrial information panel. You can make these in LV. With a GT sensor kit, you can read out runtime information about the machine and print it on those panels. Those have been around forever. What's different about this one is that my new metrics transmitter cover is being used, which is a higher tier version that works interdimensionally and if you move whatever it's reading.

It's currently reading an Ore Drilling Plant on another planet. ODPs are a multiblock ore miner that pre-macerates anything it mines, plus gives you x2-x4 yield compared to normal maceration. I wrote this feature because I kept forgetting where my miners were, and I kept flying to them to see if they were done or not.

How stable is 2.4.1? Usually I just know my drill is done when I stop seeing ore show up in the ender chest. Would this be even better for a void miner? Or those just never get moved and it's more "do something to it when you want different ore"?

It's less than 24 hours old, so I'm not sure how stable it is. Anecdotally, it's fine; I've been using it for a few hours this evening and had no problems.

Void miners never move, but you could use the new cover to e.g. detect if they have a maintenance issue or something. There are other covers that do that, though, so less useful.
