Version 2.0 - PM me if you want something added.

Welcome to the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is the Minecraft Modding Thread! The modding community has a nasty reputation of being both unpleasant and stupid, but don't worry, we can help you find the gems in the hellhole that is Minecraft Modding. What kind of mods are there for Minecraft you ask? Well, the better question is really, What kind of mods aren't there. From total conversion RPG mods to ones that add poop armor or assless chaps, you can do anything with Minecraft mods.

MultiMC - The single best Minecraft profiler out there.

Launchers are client programs that automatically download and install any mod packs that are distributed through their platforms. Additionally, many launchers have additional features such as allowing automated distribution of custom mod packs, texture packs, or maps. Here are a couple of the most popular launchers:



The Technic Platform is a mod(pack/map/config/cake) distribution service that uses the Technic Launcher. The Technic Launcher has historically pioneered the development of mod pack launchers, dragging the Minecraft Modding community kicking and screaming (literally) into a new era of not-forcing-users-to-manually-install-every-mod. With the introduction of the Technic Platform, anybody can create their own custom modpack and easily distribute it. Various official modpacks such as Tekkit, Hexxit, or Big Dig, along with others are available.
All your dreams.
#technic on irc.synirc.net



The FTB Launcher is a launcher originally developed as a simple means to distribute the very popular FTB map. In reality, it was made as a "legal" successor to the "illegal" Technic Launcher (also for the head dude to stream), and is generally not quite as good. A variety of mod packs are distributed through the FTB launcher, most of which are pretty similar, plus or minus a couple mods. The people behind this launcher have called the Technic team a "bunch of web developers" as an insult.
Link



Curse has recently made their own launcher available that apparently has some other bells and whistles to it. There's not much to say about it other than that the FTB team is trying to transition to using it.
Link



The ATLauncher is another option with its own selection of modpacks. Not half-bad, certainly better than the Curse launcher.
Link



Mod Packs are simply compilations of mods that have been configured to work properly together and can be downloaded as one package. Some mod packs are just that, everything working together, while others go the extra mile and configure everything to work well as a mod pack, or add in special mods specific to the pack. Many modpacks are distributed through launchers, while many require users to install the contents to an appropriate Minecraft directory (this is fairly rare nowadays). Additionally, many modpacks nowadays come with pre-built worlds, or heavily customized worldgen, so the line between modpacks and maps is somewhat blurred. There are way too many modpacks to list all the good ones, so a few interesting ones are Regrowth, Blightfall, Test Pack Please Ignore, Resonant Rise, and OMP



Mods add or change the base Minecraft game in a variety of cool ways. From simple quality-of-life changes, to adding whole spell systems, resource tiers, or tech trees, if you can think of something, there's probably a mod out there that does it. There are thousands of mods out there, most of which are poo poo, however, here are some of the best ones available:

Applied Energistics - Store your billions of items in a server rack
Audiotori - Add, replace, or remove sounds and music with cascading sound packs.
Backpacks - Storage on the go
Balkon's Weapon Mod - Lots of new weapons
Better Storage - Chests and crates and more
Bibliocraft - Stands and shelves and desks, oh my!
Buildcraft - Ye Olde Buildcraft. Old, unreliable, and used by everyone and their mother.
Chest Transporter - Move. Chests.
ChickenBone's Mods - Lots of essential mods including NEI
Clay Soldiers - Make soldiers and make them fight! :black101:
ComputerCraft - Adds computers and turtles that can be programmed in LUA
Craft and Enchant - Craft enchanting scrolls
Dimensional Doors - Open doorways to pockets in spacetime!
Ender Storage - Link chests between dimensions. See Ender Tanks for liquids.
Equivalent Exchange 3 - Still in early alpha, but is looking pretty good. Very divergent from EE2 in a good way, making many goons mad
ExtraBiomesXL - Adds in lots of extra biomes, screws with most mods that interact with biomes such as Forestry
Factorization - BARRELS
Forestry - Not really that good, but some people swear by its spergy Bee Breeding system
Galacticraft - Spaceships. Spaceships in the vacuum of space.
GLSL Shaders - Adds a variety of post-processing effects to Minecraft. Can murder your fps but the end result is :drat: Some friendly goons have made an awesome preconfigured shader pack
GregTech - Expansion for IC2, somewhat akin to wearing mittens woven full of bullet ants. Made by a jerk.
Immibis Mods - A chunk loader, RP2 addons, and more neat things
IndustrialCraft 2 - Giant Tech Mod (TM), electricity, nukes, the works
Inventory Tweaks - Adds inventory sorting, auto-replacing, and more
Iron Chests - Series of upgradeable, progressively larger chests
Liquid Metal - Melt down metal and put it into tanks. Vats of molten iron
Logistics Pipes - Pipes that craft items, supply machines, and more
Mapwriter - A very nice minimap mod with a scrollable map
Matmos - Adds nice ambient sounds. CONFIGURE IT BEFORE COMPLAINING
MFFS - Really fantastic forcefield mod
Millenaire - Really buggy, massive memory hog. Adds NPC villages that grow and trade and poo poo.
MineChem 3 - Break down materials, make new materials. Really cool.
Mo' Creatures - Ever felt Minecraft needed 12 varieties of songbirds? (Vanilla horses are snagged from this mod)
Modular Powersuits - Make power armor and slot tech into it. Goon-made and :krad:. Check out the addons as well for lots of extra modules.
Mystcraft - A whole dimension-hopping system, loosely based off of the Myst games
OmniTools - Wrenches that work on everything, convert copper ingots into other copper ingots
Portal Gun - Faithful adaptation of the portal gun into Minecraft. Put a portal on the moon.
PowerCrystal's Mods :siren:GOON MODDER:siren: - Machines to convert between power systems, ores in the nether, farming tech, redstone cables
Project Bench - Crafting bench combined with a chest
Project Zulu - Ever felt Minecraft needed 12000 squirrels in 1 block?
Railcraft - Complete overhaul of the vanilla rail system, also has tanks and is made by a crazy jerk
Redpower 2 - Sensible redstone wiring, frames that move blocks, cool machines. Is updated about once a year. Maybe. THIS MOD IS DEAD
Redstone in Motion - Move blocks, move pigs, move the world
Rei's Minimap - Adds a minimap with waypoints and all that jazz
Runic Dust - Place dust on the ground to cast a bunch of neat spells
Steve's Carts - Wait 12 hours to get a dumb-looking cart that can do a bunch of poo poo. In my opinion rather ugly.
TerraFirmaCraft - TOTAL CONVERSION MOD that makes Minecraft more Dwarf Fortress-ey
Thaumcraft 3 - Alchemy, golem workers, wisps, cool stuff
Thermal Expansion - Another big tech mod that can pretty much replace IC2, really really good machine options. Goon-made.
Tinker's Construct - Make custom tools, also has a neat ore smelting system. A bit rough around the edges.
Treecapitator - Cut down trees in one fell swoop
tukmc - Alternate UI which looks pretty nice, but it's not for everyone. Inspired by tukui for WoW.
Twilight Forest - A new dimension with bosses and puzzles and other awesome poo poo
Universal Electricity - A whole suite of mods all using the UE mod API, lots of potential. Be forewarned, extremely buggy.
Xeno's Reliquary - Made by the author of EE2, adds in a huge variety of miscellaneous useful things.

For a more comprehensive listing, I refer again to the MCF Mod List.



Texture Packs are something you'll probably use even if you don't use any mods at all. However, finding one that supports whatever mods you're currently using can be tricky. Here are some popular texture packs that have good (or maybe just some) mod support:





Sphax is a cell-shaded cartoony style pack. Several sizes are available, probably has the most comprehensive mod support out there.
Site
Mod Patches





Soartex also has quite a bit of mod support. It goes for a more realistic look than Sphax.
Forum Thread





John Smith Technician's Remix is another pack with fairly good mod support. It's a very clean and nice-looking pack that won't kill your computer with massive textures.
Site





Dokucraft is another very nice low-resolution texture pack with great mod support.
Site
Sharktamer's patch compilation



Many cool Maps are available that rely heavily on mods. These can sometimes be distributed through a launcher, but often rely on the user to install them properly. Here are a couple cool ones:



Skyden is an interesting map that combines skyblock survival, FtB, and NPC interaction with quests.

Vib Rib posted:


ChocolateySyrup, with whom I made a handful of mods back in the day, is making a Skyblock map with a loose story called Sky Den, which I've had the pleasure of helping to test. It's designed so that every item in the game is renewable or farmable, so unlike some Skyblock maps you won't run out of gold or what have you.
Though it's mostly open like most Skyblock maps, it also uses the Custom NPCs mod to add characters you can talk to, buy from and sell to, and so on. In addition to normal Skyblock fare, you can do quests for NPCs to unlock new farmable resources and progress towards a sort of endgame. The NPCs are custom-made including their skins, quests, dialog, etc.
It's sort of like Feed the Beast, but with characters instead of machine inputs.





It does require a number of mods to work, including Thaumcraft, Redpower, and Equivalent Exchange. These mods are all included for easy installation.

You can download the Sky Den pack here. (Version 1.1)

Users running 1.0 can patch to the latest using the Cosmic Patch, 1.1 fixes the very annoying Hennepin issues, and this patch will only roll back things that are near the Sky Den.


Bugs and fixes warning:
1. The end portal might not activate unless you place the final eye of ender from 'inside' or opposite the slot, rather than from the outside. For safety's sake, place it from across the portal, not outside. This is a Minecraft vanilla bug apparently. If it still doesn't work you can just use NEI to cheat in some end portal blocks and fill the frames with those manually.


Good luck, and enjoy.



Plus Block is a more open-ended kind of map in the style of FtB maps.

I've been promising it, and now here it is PlusBlock v1.00! I don't know about you but I was getting tired of waiting for a new Feed the Beast challenge map to appear so I decided to make my own! Plus Block isn't just a challenge map though, it's a great way to start off any game of PLUS+ Plus Block lets you play any map and have more fun doing it! Be weary there is over 100 mods here if you don't have a powerful computer you may have difficulties. :v:

Install Instructions
1)Download the Plus+ Launcher and select Plus+ (or PlusMulti/PlusSigma!)
2)Play and have fun, there are no more steps!

Manual Install Instructions
1) Download and install Minecraft 1.4.6
2) Extract the contents of folder "Put in .minecraft" into "C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft
3) If it asks you to merge any folders or replace any files allow it to do so
4) Delete the META-INF in the minecraft.jar located in the bin directory
5) Extract the contents of the "Put in minecraft.jar" folder into the minecraft.jar.
6) Run Minecraft as normal. Don't let it update or you will break the mod.



Modding Minecraft, or even just installing some mods can seem like a daunting affair, but is really quite simple when you understand the basics. I'll walk you through these basics.


:siren: How to Manually Install Mods :siren:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-rQa-MPYuE
Navigate to your minecraft folder. For Windows this is in C:\Users\[YourNameHere]\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft (or .technic) while for Macs this is C:/Users/[YourNameHere]/Library/Application Support/minecraft
Place the mod in either the mods or coremods folder, as the instructions direct. If the folder doesn't exist, make it. DO NOT EXTRACT ANYTHING UNLESS EXPLICITLY TOLD TO.
On first run the mod should generate a config file (or multiple) in the config folder, or sometimes somewhere else. Edit this to change settings and IDs.
The process for installing mods on a server is identical, except for the path. Take care not to install a client-only mod such as Rei's Minimap onto a server.
If you need to install Forge, all you need to do is open up minecraft.jar in you bin folder, delete the META-INF folder inside, and extract the appropriate Forge version into the jar.

A quick guide to making a Platform Pack

Installing Forge and MCP
Forge and MCP are the two essential tools you'll need in order to create or modify Minecraft mods. Luckily, their installation is almost completely automated at this point.
Simply grab the desired Forge version from the Forge File Server and extract it somewhere.
Now navigate into the 'forge' folder and run the appropriate install script.
Forge will now automatically download MCP as well as all other required files, and automatically decompile and deobfuscate. It will even prepare a workspace in forge/mcp/eclipse for you to plug into your IDE.
Grab a cup of coffee while this happens.

Decompiling Mods
To decompile a mod and view its underlying code, use the fantastic JD-GUI program. Simply extract it somewhere and drag the mod onto the icon.
However, mods needs to be obfuscated in order to work with the base game, so any vanilla classes, methods, or variables in the mod will be gibberish.
If you just need to know a handful of unobfuscated names from a mod for a current Minecraft version, make use of the fantastic MCPBot to look them up.
If you would like to deobfuscate an entire mod, first install the appropriate Forge source version along with the MCP, run the recompile script, then install BON.
Open up BON, specify the correct Forge source directory, then enter in the obfuscated mod path, as well as an output path, then run it.
At this point you should be able to open up the outputted deobfuscated mod with JD-GUI.

Making a Mod
The best way to learn the ins and outs of Minecraft modding is to check out the code of other existing mods, and just dive right in. Here are some good places to start:

Glad to see minecraft still hoards almost all of the insanely crazy hyperautist modders for itself, sparing most of the rest of the gaming community their toddler-like conniption fits.

It's like an inception of sperg. Notch is spergy, writes a spergy game for spergs. Spergy game attracts other spergs, who sperg out over it. Spergs write spergy mods to amplify the sperg to hypersperg levels. Other spergy modders being to compete and the modsperg wars broke out. Many copyrights were killed, the code-blood of many a mod harvested by vampiric modpackers. Soon, the survivors will merge together into the human spergipede and mod horse dicks on everything in reality ITSELF. The rest of humanity points and laughs.

To be quite honest I'll take an increased number of hilariously crazy people over having to perform hours of complicated voodoo magic to get mods to work together any day of the week. :suicide:

Well I can see that first one has a new block of some kind. Is that a new type of sticky piston in the second one? One that only sticks one way every time it's activated? I mean, a normal sticky piston would pull the redstone block back on the first cycle, wouldn't it?

The first one is artifice blocks, the second is vanilla. Sticky pistons won't both extend and retract a block in one tick as a fix for an old block duping bug, which is useful for toggle circuits.

Basically it boils down to it's a LOT of effort to update a 1.7 mod to 1.8, so people are holding off until it's actually worth doing (as in, enough other mods have updated). 1.8 -> 1.9 is not nearly as big of a jump, but since it's supposedly out soon that's just another reason to wait.

Otherwise 1.8 has a lot of very good things for mods.

This is an esoteric question, but if anywhere knows the answer, it's here. When I mine Artifice's recolored ores, they are supposed to drop the corresponding non-colored ore, eg dark-colored copper ore block drops normal copper ore. Problem is, they're dropping Forestry copper ore when I'm trying to configure it so that only Thermal Expansion copper ore is generated so that I don't have to do any bullshit converting or stacking. Is there any way to change this?

Short-term answer: Try making the forestry jar come after the TE ones alphabetically

Long-term answer: in the works

That seems like a dumb way to handle terrain generation. I mean, I can see the advantage in terms of terrain looking less broken if your generation algorithm changes, but if the world is deterministic based on the seed (which I really loving hope it is) then you should be able to store partial results somewhere and pick up where you left off if a player wanders into the area later.

Modders can do that, but most don't.

You don't even need botania, just use dispensers to plant and bonemeal birch or spruce, and a BUD to know when the tree grows. Then, pistons get the dirt out of the way and push the logs up via sand where they're then pushed over to a chamber where you drop aggro'd skeleton-creeper pairs that blow up the logs which land on hoppers. To get those pairs you build a mob farm that filters spiders and endermen via size, zombies by villager aggression, and creepers by cat fear. Then you put a skeleton (A) between you and another skeleton (B) who is aggro'd onto you, and once skele A is mad at skele B (detected via tripwire), move A and interdict a creeper between them and B so that they rile up the creeper. Then, drop A and the creeper.

Simple.

also what's the benefit of angallam? I had my last two gold ingots I was gonna make the spare thaumometer with but I didn't realize that the iron ingot I put in to make some bolts would fuse with one of them meaning I have to wait for the next gold cache to finish it :negative:

angmallen takes a lot less xp to level up, pretty sure

Nope, I'm still enjoying any environmental effect that isn't as harsh as vanilla Minecraft rain.

If I'm a weirdo who actually likes vanilla minecraft rain sound, can I just go into my Blightfall mod folder and rename the two betterrain jars to .jar.bak and they won't be active anymore or is it more complicated?

Yeah that'll work

Since this is the modding thread, I have a few questions, since I'm interested in maybe dipping my toe into this:

1. Which IS the best modpack launcher? I get the feeling it might be Technic based on the OP, but I wanted to know what most people tend to prefer.
2. My primary interest is in a mod with some form of general world editing for creative purposes. What's the best version of those?
3. Would I be better off getting a pack or just the one mod I'm interested in?

Thanks in advance.

1) Generally people prefer http://technicpack.net/ which is probably the slickest all around. But http://beta.cursevoice.com/games/minecraft and https://www.atlauncher.com/ are also both perfectly serviceable, it really depends on the packs you want to play because they all have different specific offerings. https://multimc.org/ is the go-to app for piecing together your own modpack.

2) There are really two general world-editing options. http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/worldedit/ is for big "replace every dirt in this selection with diamonds" kind of stuff, whereas http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/voxelsniper/ is the more photoshoppy option. http://www.worldpainter.net/ is useful to create a map with the general terrain and biome distribution you want before going in with the finer tools.
