The plus side: Mods add tons of super cool stuff and make the game more playable and much longer lasting. Downside: You'll never be able to play vanilla again.

eh4 posted:Upgraded to 1.6.2 yesterday. Congratulations Forge, I hate you too now. Let's just add to the confusion with changing directories, locking out other mods without a clear compatibility pathway, and adding whimsical JVM options you'll no doubt remove when you realize users are just going around your toll booth. Don't install crap to a default Minecraft install, it's just a recipe for headaches. Use Technic or MultiMC for any kind of modding beyond texture packs. E: Oh actually I forgot that MC has a new launcher now, I haven't used the default launcher in over a year. Can it support separate installs in different directories?

eh4 posted:Technically it can, but that isn't the issue. Since Forge has changed the directories it also uses, on top of making it difficult to add non-Forge-approved mods What mods don't work with Forge anymore? Anything that doesn't is basically from the Dark Days of modding and is hopelessly outdated. Either that, or it's made by some pretentious modder who refuses to even take a small amount of effort to work with other things.

Pretty typical of direwolf to completely ignore the accomplishments of another mod though. Don't get me wrong Multipart looks amazing and does stuff we've never seen, but Immibis microblocks has allowed multiple things in a single block space for a long time. Not only multiple microblocks, but pipes/cables etc, but direwolf acted like that had never been done before.

Erogenous Beef posted:Consider "moo goo" coolant approved. I'll make it official once different coolants have different properties. As for livestock -> fuel, that's a bit too weird. Maybe in the distant future I'll add a "sillyMode" config option for stuff like "Heiferite" and "Porktonium". This is such an incredible idea and would fit in perfectly with MFR's sadistically sarcastic tone.

Does anyone know if PC and KL will be coming back to their mods eventually? Or if they're still working on them and just being quiet about it. It would be sad if the two best tech mods out there die at the same time with 1.6.

Sultan Tarquin posted:I've not kept up with minecraft at all for about 3 months due to playing other games. Finally got around to try and update my TFC pack and the latest MC isn't available on the technic platform. Is this because of the whole vanilla launcher change? 1.6 basically killed the modding community. A lot of people are still working on mods but the changes were so drastic that a ton of people just quit doing it. 1.7 is going to be the same thing again. I doubt minecraft modding will ever be as active as it was during 1.5.

Sultan Tarquin posted:Jesus, that bad? Were the changes that drastic? Apparently so. A month or two after release and Platform hasn't caught up yet. I don't do modding myself, but as I understand it, even forge had to make big backend changes, so it couldn't bridge the gap as well as it normally does. It doesn't help that the two biggest tech mod devs (KingLemming and power crystals, of TE and MFR) took long breaks. KL said he would finish a 1.6.2 port of TE, and then pass the mod to someone else, while PC is still mia. For all we know he could be done with MC modding for good. It's possible that people simply don't want to do two big overhauls with 1.6 and 1.7 and are just putting everything on hold until 1.7, but I wouldn't count on it.

Moog posted:I gotta say that I really really hope RedPower2 comes back. That, or Eloraam's minia/zeta thing is what she was referring to on twitter, concerning a "big announcement". Basically a Minecraft clone built from the ground up in C++. Supposedly, Eloraam ports all her code from C++ to Java for RP2, so it's my pipedream that it means all of the RP2 features are already a part of it. Haha, you think Eloraam's code is better than Notch's. hhahahahahaha

SugarAddict posted:To be fair, she did come up with pipes that work differently and are an alternative to buildcraft, mobile Frames, redpower wiring, logic systems, and a whole slew of other stuff. I didn't say features, I said code. Her features were all pretty good and she made stuff really fast(for a while). But it was phenomenally badly coded and was an absolute performance nightmare, not to mention the huge bug problems. To just give an idea, her redstone timers reloaded the chunk they were in every single time they ticked. It's a pretty common story. Creative programmer with lots of ideas and momentum creates something really cool very quickly, but their rate of innovation starts to decline before too long, under the weight of their poorly managed codebase. In fact, it's exactly what happened to Notch with Minecraft.

Lizard Wizard posted:Apparently one of the mods I'd like to use on my server requires Forge. What the hell IS it and how do I get it? Forge is essentially the modding API. Every mod that isn't a piece of poo poo uses it, because not using it is harder and means your mod wont be compatible with anything else. Just download it and extract it into your miencraft.jar.

Mystic Mongol posted:It worked great, but the more he gathered materials with his eight quarries he moved about deep enough under the earth not to breach the landscape, the rougher the lag got on that server. Gee I wonder why, I bet it was some jerk's space program. More likely that was his pipes. Buildcraft pipes hooked up to a max speed quarry crush servers (quarries already crush pretty drat hard on their own), and if you multiply that by 8 you have a very sad server operator. Tell him to use ME next time.

Mystic Mongol posted:Depressing. There's little in life as cool as a big tangle of pipes with carefully sorted stone and cobblestone systems to let as many flows as possible pass through your main work area as if Serial Experiments Lain had exploded. A short stack of ME servers just isn't the same as twenty big dumb interlocking pipe systes. I tend to agree, but your server operator does not. As cool as pipe tangles are, having a server that actually works is more important. Who knows, maybe the 1.7 server optimizations will help.

thevortex- posted:very few modders take public SMP into account, world-wrecking items, blocks that update an insane amount of times, things like this are only taken into account by a small amount of modders There was an amusing fight between KL and CJ on the FTB forums recently about this. CJ was trying to convince KL to use his code for something, and KL was telling him it was too CPU intensive. CJ said "pocket change doesn't matter when you're writing million dollar checks" and KL responded with "caring about pocket change is how you become a millionaire". It was a beautiful exchange, I'll try to find a link. E: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/thermal-expansion-status.31833/page-3 This is a cool thread, KL tasks about the future of TE. He's planning on maintaining it till at least 1.7, and he's ditching BC power for his own completely rewritten power API (rationale for this is in that thread), and he's rewriting liquiducts and conduits, and adding itemducts.

God drat compsci people. This is how we get bloat! Kids these days. Heh, 64k, try 2k. When you work with 2k memory you learn really quickly to have NO boat. But yeah coding like CJ is terrible and lazy, he takes shortcuts to make things easier and has really inefficient code. Of course, I say this as someone who doesn't code in java, but his excuses and reasoning transcend language.

30.5 Days posted:Could you give me some step-by-step instructions to reproduce this? Just adding a pack and then closing the launcher or just downloading and then closing isn't causing me to lose any data. Add the pack, close the launcher. Downloading/playing doesn't make any difference on my end, it just loses the pack whenever it gets closed. The only things it has on launch are default packs. As for losing settings, the third time I launched it and reinstalled a pack, I didn't lose my settings, but I did the two previous times. I have no idea why.

Alkydere posted:Ender Storage is an amazing mod with so many potential uses considering it adds only three item. It only adds a tank, a pouch and a chest. You can program the "frequency" of the tank or chest with some dye as they have three pieces of white cloth on top that you can dye independently. So it's easy to change the frequency or read the frequency of a tank or chest at a glance. All tanks or chests/pouches of the same frequency basically have the same inventory, it's basically you have an interface to a "global" chest/pouch or tank. The best thing is that the inventories are stored independently of the items using them. So if all White/Red/Blue chests are destroyed or reprogrammed, if in fact ALL ender chests on the server are destroyed, the inventory in the white/red/blue "frequency" is still safe, waiting for you to make a fresh chest or pouch to access it. Chickenbones is an amazingly good developer, all his mods are deceivingly simple for how powerful they are.
