On my latest game, I found an Ars book that creates lightening bolts in an area around the targeted mob. I'm finding it hard to stop using it since it usually can instakill like 5-6 mobs at a time.

Oh yeah the tier 2 flare/cold snap (but not discharge, because they locked the spell that lets you inflict shock behind tier 3) is great for clearing out large mobs. But for onsie twosie mobs, they go to the death tower. Its expensive mana wise, but usually I get my mana back before the next mob shows up. In fact I learned something, while idling in the end for bee nests to fill up I was sending the endermen there to the tower. They drop nether gear. I want to set up a spell turret there that fires off a homing spell that teleports whatever it hits. If only there was a way to send source across dimensions.

If you're on a version of Ars that has armor threads the pro move is putting one which chills/burns/shocks enemies on the armor, since it happens before the spell you just cast goes off. And then put the attack spell on a wand so that way you save two glyph slots you can use for more damage or item pickup.

I found a book that will launch mobs in the air, usually high enough to kill them (unless they have armor), and two copies of a book that summons mountable dolphins. I just ride everywhere on my dolphin now.

I've been trying to play Lockout (the mod YouTuber SmallAnt commissioned) with some friends, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how modern MineCraft works. Everything keeps trying to sell me something. The mod is here: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/lockout/files/4655896 Whenever I try to get the mod, some nonsense about CurseForge is forced upon me. So fine, I do that, but then I don't have a server. I tried doing all kind of things, with all kinds of "Forges". All the websites I look at don't seem to support this mod. And running the jars gets me exceptions or Plugins(0). The client seems to be fine, but I have no idea what I need to do to make the server work with the mod. I've searched up and down, and nothing seems to work. Does anyone know how this works? What am I missing?

Incredible write-up Xun. It is never enough RAM for me. You can also do the server on another computer you have or a cloud computer. That's not even as nerd poo poo as port forwarding and mac address filtering. For a lot of mod packs with friends you can add essential or MineTogether Connect to just join a friend's single player world like a server. The former adds real money dlc and the latter didn't work last time I tried it. I think Shadow0 needs to do the server though, and ram probably won't be an issue with that modpack.

I guess I'm doing it right then?   I'm not sure how the major/minor versions work. I tried with a later version of 1.19.x.x.x, but I'm still getting exceptions. Maybe they only tested it on a very specific version? Well, either way, it seems to be trying to load the mod, so I think that's the right way forward. I'll try some more versions of the server / mod. Thanks for the help! Edit: It crashes on all versions.

Shadow0 posted:Okay, I was trying that, but wasn't sure. I guess I'm doing it right then? According to the comments, it will only work on 1.19.0. Which means you'll need Minecraft 1.19 and Forge specifically for 1.19., not .1 or .2. This is a fairly unusual situation as minor versions generally are largely cross-compatible but sometimes a mod can mess with some mechanic that gets changed/fixed in a later minor version.

If you want a unique challenge experience I'd suggest trying something like Terra Firma Rescue. It's a little janky, has some poor translations, and is sadly unmaintained for a while but it's got a hell of a start. It's basically someone looking at GregTech and thinking 'What if you did its early game via TerraFirmaCraft?' Including a custom-forked GT6. How would you like to craft your first Gregtech plates by digging up raw ore, running it through a blast furnace, hammering out the bloom, furnacing the metal out of the bloom, casting the ingots, then hammering the ingots into plates. And that's even before steel!

You know what mod I miss? The Betweenlands. Like many big mods, never made it past 1.12. I know it was kinda self contained to the point of not really working well with other big mods, but I really enjoyed its aesthetic and it made a much better alternate progression/total overhaul than Twilight Forest did, imo.

Recently gave the modpack Cuboid Outpost another go and I'm really enjoying it. Skyblock-like that uses an infinite flatworld instead of a void, which I always found much more enjoyable and easier to build in. Lots of creative and interesting options here, sort of a kitchen sink pack with mixed, guided progression and a lot of overlapping tech. One thing that really stood out early is that there's a few dozen early materials you can turn into "singularities" which can then be pumped out to infinite amounts of that material free. Most base metals and a lot of simple blocks like stone, clay, dirt, etc. work this way. I like this a lot in a skyblock setting, where instead of having to set up a composter barrel, sifter, crafter, etc. to run on auto literally forever just so you'll always have dirt available, the game goes "Ok, you made 256 dirt blocks? Then you obviously have this resource figured out, so we'll just say you have infinite". Alloys and even slightly more complex blocks like soul sand don't get infinites, nor do mob drops or anything crafted. But it's nice when you finally make enough iron or gold or whatever else to just have it done with. It also does another really cool thing I don't think I've seen much if ever, and could be used to great effect in survival games even outside of Minecraft: You start with a decently stocked base with some amenities, but as you progress, you have to start tearing up the base and its appliances to continue. To get your first redstone, you have to recycle the solar panels on the roof. To get auto sifting going, you need to trash your Thermal pulverizer. At some point you even have to recycle the basic AE2 system they start you with. I think I find this so cool because a lot of survival games and modpacks have this inverse difficulty curve where the game is only really ever challenging at the very start, because you have nothing, and every step of progress gets you more things that ease the pain of surviving. Meanwhile something like this, where you start with conveniences and supplies and slowly run them out or even actively disassemble them for other needs, means a cushy start and a difficult climb as you slowly strip away your own safeguards. Seems like a novel solution to the curve. Having a lot of fun with it so far.

Simple Storage or Toms Simple Storage are probably the easiest. I dont know of one that doesnt require either making cables to connect or having to link each one, like maybe Functional Storage. Crafting from nearby storage like in 7D2D or Subnautica is the best. https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/simple-storage-network https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfKbTfbTR50 https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/toms-storage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW5ElcWiC3c OgNar fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Dec 3, 2023 |

Just had one of those moments where you realize you missed something incredibly basic and obvious for WAY too long That's me when I realized you can put two of the stack multipliers in a sophisticated backpack and be able to stack things into the tens of thousands per slot. I don't know why, but all this time I felt like it was one stack multiplier per backpack, and you just upgrade it or replace it with a higher tier version. Then I shift-clicked a bunch of upgrades I had into a new netherite backpack I had made and two slots were taken up by multipliers, and I literally facepalmed Well, at least I can cut down on the number of backpacks I have now, had one pack just for holding 16x stacks of basic blocks(dirt, sand, gravel, cobble, netherrack, etc) but now I can just have those go in the main backpack since the entire contents of one of those packs now fits into a handful of slots

I got this sudden wild urge to play through Regrowth again recently and decided to try and think about why and I'm not entirely sure what it is about it that I want to experience again. I think it might just be wanting to have Minecraft sitting open and playing it as an idle game I look back at every so often, do a bit of work and then look away to do other things. Which may be why I've been falling off more active explorey packs I've been trying to play lately. I suppose that's largely why I like stuff that involves a lot of farming such as Magical Crops.

For a room full of like vanilla chests you could use a storage scanner. Has a 3x3 crafting grid and you can just hit the + when searching in JEI. Needs power but no cables. Max range of 22 blocks I think. It would be incredible if it weren't so finicky. I'm currently using a wireless crafting grid from Refined Storage. Only works with Refined Storage's storage I think. You could upgrade the wireless transmitter to go e it more range, I finite range, or work across dimensions.

Beat Cuboid Outpost! My biggest complaint is that, in jumping around to various different mods, it does that thing a lot of kitchen sink quest packs do where you have to get about 15-20% into a mod until you get access to the one single machine or item or resource it provides, then never touch it again. I forget why I even needed to dip into Create, but my entire run I had a basement with just a single waterwheel and a lava fan for smelting and that was the extent of it. Mekanism, Applied Energistics, and a few others get more screentime, but a lot of it is bouncing between mods then dropping them forever. I also had no idea I was so close to the end and probably would have done even less infrastructure if I had known, like not getting every single Harvestcraft seed, for instance. That said I didn't even do all that much infrastructure to begin with. Still! I found it a very cute and cozy little progress pack, much lighter and more palatable than a lot of the big long haul mods where you need like 12 of the same machine running in parallel. Lots of novel twists here, and while there's an extra credit chapter about getting creative items (as there often is) I was more than happy to cash out at the storyline's end and call it done.

Hey my 7 year-old has caught wind of some goofy (but age appropriate) youtube channels that have been using all kinds of minecraft mods, so now he wants to try out some minecraft mods for himself. Up to now we've only played together on the Bedrock edition on Switch, and after reading the OP I get the sense that we need to be using the Java edition on PC - that doesn't surprise me at all. Also, to play together I'm guessing we'd need 2 PCs with a copy of the game each. Tell me if that's wrong please. I wanted to get us set up with 1 copy working before buying a 2nd, treating it like a christmas present Anyway, I'm looking for mod suggestions for a 7 year-old. What's the coolest-rear end kid-friendly poo poo you've played recently? We perused curseforge together and he identified an Epic Knights armor mod that looks spiffy, but it's literally just a weapons and armor pack. He's mostly interested in Creative Mode. More recommendations please, if you don't mind!

I wanted to get us set up with 1 copy working before buying a 2nd, treating it like a christmas present Yes you'll need two copies to play together on PC. It requires a Microsoft account, I'd recommend creating new accounts just for Minecraft for security reasons if you already have a Microsoft account you login to the PC with. You can be logged into the computer with one MS account and login to Minecraft with a different one. Although I'm not sure how you'd actually buy it on a different account, the whole Microsoft store ecosystem is weird. Maybe do it from the minecraft website instead of the microsoft store for that. I'll probably catch some flak again for recommending the curseforge launcher but it's the easiest way to play modded IMO, and any mods/packs on curseforge will just work. Use the Download Standalone option to not install the overwolf part. The other recommended launcher is Prism but I haven't used it myself. No idea what mods to recommend for a 7 year old though. I had girls that just liked to build houses and they liked the decoration mods like MrCrayfish furniture (and other) mods, and there was a dog pets mod, but that was years ago. If he likes pokemon there pixelmon which can be fun for a bit.
