I'm kind of the opposite, I've been playing almost nothing but vanilla for a few years and the increased world height and most of the new blocks are kind of hard for me to do without. Also raw ores. Even if modded does add new blocks, it's not the same.

yeah when they added the expanded world height I couldn't justify sticking to my ancient modded build anymore and forced myself to upgrade. and I'm so glad I did, it's wild going into a supermassive cavern and then discovering ANOTHER supermassive cavern underneath it! right now I'm exploring a cave so big it's basically one giant hollow space underneath an entire biome. just one single huge cavern, not multiple interconnected ones, and occasionally parts of the cave ceiling are open to the air.

That is loving gorgeous and a good point towards 1.20+. That said the older packs I enjoy don't actually really use vanilla worldgen anyway.

It really is incredible how much having these insanely larger areas is. And if I didn't force myself to only use lanterns instead of torches, it'd be a cinch to light it all up easily, but I insist on doing that because I already have so many things to make things easier, I figure that's one simple way I can make things harder for myself. Plus, they can hang from ceilings, which is nice. If I wasn't dumb and could use video recording software I'd record a fly through of the cave, but

I decided to finally sit down and do a Minecolony this playthrough in 1.19. Set myself a chunk in the middle and built my own stuff down from there. I realize that I really should have planned the town out a bit more since after setting it, it seems that certain buildings need to be put near others for efficiency or something. Like the University should have a school and library near it and everyone wants a guard tower/barracks near them or they get mad. Decent fun so far though. Have also decided that I should build the town in layers and have started digging out the whole town below. Turns out there is a massive cavern below 5x larger than the town and now I have to build a new foundation for any lower layers. Below that massive cavern, sub 0 level is yet another massive cavern going to nearly bedrock. Had to travel to do any mining. But then, thats what minecarts and soon Create trains are for.

MineColonies has structures for underground building, you can choose styles different from your colony's primary style. I haven't looked recently, but there's a building style for dripstone caverns, and another building style for you digging your own tunnels underground, dwarf style.

I haven't looked recently, but there's a building style for dripstone caverns, and another building style for you digging your own tunnels underground, dwarf style. I didnt even think about switching styles for underground. I had been digging out enough height for Dark Oak style which is what I used top side. Good idea. I had been using a mod called Immersive Weathering, which I had to take out and has left a few holes here and there. It has some really good parts to it, like anywhere that water was running underground would dynamically change stone to mossy. Most ground under heavy tree cover like in dark forests would change to hummus and grow mushrooms. Tree leaves would drop to the ground in snow-like layers also changing the dirt to hummus. This caused problems because I was having my minecolonist do dark oak and it couldnt lay down 2x2 saplings and I was constantly having to replant for her. And weeds, weeds would pop up everywhere. I learned that if you put a layer of green house (just glass) over your farms it would stop popping your seeds out. But they would pop up all over my town and were damaging my minecolonists constantly. Decent looking mod that I would recommend in general but sadly no way to prevent those weeds.

The changes since 1.12 have added a lot of complexity to the vanilla game, but it's worth it.

The minecolonies cave style is slick, though it assumes a maximum density of tunnels that may seem overly rigid for some folks. I kinda prefer to have a smaller style fit into a big cave like that. Dripstone Caves is neat, but also has some hard assumptions of how high up the stalactites are.

The cave style also isn't built on the same multiples everywhere so if you're not careful you can end up building things too close together and it becomes impossible to fit anything in between.

Since upgrading from a launch model to an OLED Steam Deck, modded Minecraft has been unstable and prone to freezing or rebooting the whole system. I increased the Linux swap and increased VRAM in the BIOS. Working perfectly now. Didn't have to do that on the old one but I'll take it.

I just put together my first Mk1 fusion and LuV assembler last night and it felt awesome. Setting up wetware looks intimidating, and I could probably do with improving my tungstate/scheelite to tungsten production, but progress is progress.

Create Aeronautics is pretty much all I could ask for from MC mods lol. I love Eureka airships/ordinary ships (though I'm somewhat annoyed that submarines don't work the way they do with the 1.12 Davinci Airships mod) and would love wheeled vehicles even more.

Ran out of air wandering around, Didn't realize that I needed to go up and the hookshot had effectively infinite range. Figured out that the fancy glass makes for nice torches, and the aboretum became depressurized at some point and bugged out and the crop sticks were vanishing when I was putting them down. Is dead sand supposed to be converted to dirt or sand? because it gets converted to dirt. Figured out the best way to get chests is to deconstruct the deep storage shelves, they each got like 16 chests in them. Edit: fixed the arboretium in creative. Edit: quote:Okay I guess I gotta be a little more explicit stating that sometimes oxygen vents won't turn on and if you find yourself in a depressurized room you gotta powercycle the vent heh. Things like this. Because people like me are dumb. Edit2: had to lookup /toggleeditwand so wooden axes are useable, the quest book does not like the blood magic book and won't recognize it, dried sand to sand doesn't work because it requires iron buckets not clay buckets, wrenches can rotate the matter replicator stuff, and I went into the open "restricted area" place. I think I found out where everyone else went, I haven't seen that mod for 20 years.

Okay I guess I gotta be a little more explicit stating that sometimes oxygen vents won't turn on and if you find yourself in a depressurized room you gotta powercycle the vent heh. But basically, when you enter the world vents have a random chance of just silently failing to pressurize an area for no reason I can really do anything about, so you kinda gotta watch your oxygen gauge. That's what I was talking about in the quest saying they were malfunctioning. I know it's lovely but I'm still hanging onto the hope that someone developing for AR fixes it one day. Dried dirt/sand turning into a dirt is another quirk of Advanced Rocketry that I'm basically taking advantage of. When regular grass tries to spread to them, they are supposed to turn into their own variant of like Sandy Grass or whatever. However, Advanced Rocketry intercepts any attempt to turn into anything named 'grass' in a block that is considered deoxygenated, and turns it into... regular vanilla dirt, heh. Which then can turn into regular grass. You can craft the dried sand in the room with the picket fence into sand with a water bucket though. And yes I explicitly encourage breaking anything breakable and nabbing it for yourself lol Also because all those fuckin airlocks were originally my attempt at mitigating the vent brokenness and they just caused problems anyway, in the next big update I've removed them from the whole leisure area and cut down the air vents to a minimum. SugarAddict posted:Edit2: had to lookup /toggleeditwand so wooden axes are useable, Oh my god I hate that feature of World Edit and I always forget it. The sand thing is supposed to require iron buckets. If you need sand before that you can get it from the aquarium. Also hm, I guess the player technically doesn't need the wrench, at least early on.

Is there a mod or pack that completely overhauls hunger and food to a point where: -You only have to eat like once a day if you make good meals -Decouples healing from hunger (but you could heal from potions, sleeping, or maybe some kind of enchanted foods) -Food requires a lot of input (e.g. you can't just survive off one small plot of carrots) -Lots of variety in things you can grow/animals you can raise I want to just build a farm and live off it but actually have a reason to build a large farm and processing and cooking everything. Really just want something with the depth of farming simulator on the farming side, with the additional requirement of needing to survive and appropriate production chains to turn your crops/animals into survival tools.
