Do you use horses? Just curious since I only see vanillafags using them.

>>174173976
In modded, if they are around and I am still in the 'I want to explore for a base but I don't have a whole lot of food" stage.

The fact that horses are synced to the server when ridden and not synced to the player or become a player dependant object makes them super annoying to use, since any world loading means your horse is gonna tard out.

>Implying I balance shit

Well, actually I do. I use the zombie as the basic enemy in life, speed and damage. But I think it shouldn't matter that much because a skilled player should be able to clear entire areas virtually undamaged.

This game is meant to be played with a shield. Enemies are damn powerful, but they all have their weaknesses and tricks, and you'll be obtaining all sorts of overpowered items if you explore enough. Some of my casul friends played it and they skipped all the uniques, and so they got rekt in nasty ways. As if this wasn't enough, there's all sorts of traps and some castlevania 1-tier hard platforming.

Finally, there's something I decided to call "The Iron challenge" which is pretty much beating the game with a full iron set, which is mid-tier equipment. I've tested every monster and boss with an iron set on to see if I could beat the game myself and it's actually doable. That means that if you get all the special items and abilities you should have no major issues with anything. And if you don't like the platforming... just find the right items and it will be babby tier.

tl;dr: all stats to 3-4.

Can zombies see through glass in ZA?

Wewlad

Hopefully I tweaked everything right in the orespawn, otherwise i'd have to remake it.

>>174178325
I ask because my most basic npcs can one shot kill you with iron armor and need 7-8 hits to die with an iron sword which is too overpowered, and that´s because I based them of the crimson knights instead of the player stats. So thats why I ask whats their attack and health stats.

Nope, I can't really recommend anything. Can't remember anything about any of them other than the fact that Tekkit had tech mods. I've also played GT Horizons, but I don't even remember what all it had in it.


I recommend starting off of a big tech mod if that's what you're into, like Industrial Craft 2 or Buildcraft or something.

Is there a mod or something out there that can give a player "easy mode", but not all players? Trying to make a server for some friends, only some of them like the survival aspect, the others just want to build. Maybe a limited form of creative mode that can only spawn certain blocks? Or even something that would give life / hunger regeneration and make monster ignore you.

Gregtech generates ore veins in massive, widely spaced bubbles. You can (probably) craft a book that describes the parameters for oregen or look it up on the wiki. The two veins you would be looking for are ones with Chalcopyrite (copper), Pyrite (Iron), Copper and Iron (requires tier 2 tool) OR one with Yellow Limonite, Brown Limonite, Malachite and Banded Iron, all of which smelt into iron and can be mined with tier 1 tools (aside from banded iron IIRC).

mod devs live in a fantasy land where their users ONLY use their mods.

>>174213414
No. First of all, mod devs live in a reality where that is very well possible. In addition, you can't ever ensure that, out of all the mods an user will have, more than one of them will contain a given ore. Finally, there may be mods (like GregTech) where ores are implemented in unconventional ways, and these would still have to have their own copper.

>>174199651
For the Java edition at least, that's literally impossible. Worst-case, they could disable activation servers and make life a little bit harder for multiplayer servers, but they can't stop you from playing those builds.

>>174212321

>>174218168
use your big boy brain to think of a way of different mods sharing the same type of ores.

>Finally, there may be mods (like GregTech)
then they wouldn't participate in that system you stupid fuck.

>>174210674

Iron veins are some of the most common. To find them you need to dig - you can't just explore caves or hope to see them in a bare rock biome.

The veins spawn in 3x3 chunk areas in a regular grid. Pick a chunk, dig straight down to bedrock, note which vein you see along the way, and mark it on your map. Then go back up, move three chunks over, and repeat. For best results, bring up your F3 and check the chunk coordinates - the center of the vein spawns where the coordinates are a multiple of three, plus one. Digging the center of a vein guarantees that you will see the ores from only one vein rather than two overlapping ones.

Don't bother digging horizontally. You'll just miss most of the veins.

>>174220402
>think of a way of different mods sharing the same type of ores.

Let's see.

>Forge implements a common ores system
Modders go mad about that common ores system implementing only what the most common mods need and not them, community becomes wary of Lex/FTB attempting to control the community more.
>A common mod implements a common ores system
Modders go mad about it being that one modder they don't like doing it, only half the mods support said system making it useless, half of the community whines about having to download even more dependencies, to which another half of the community tells them to just use Curse which downloads dependencies automatically.
>Mods mutually disable each other's ores
Massive fight about whose ores are more important and should not be disabled, bugs, drama, suffering.
>Mod doesn't require additional ores in the first place
I'd say BuildCraft but at least two other mods exist adding their own oil, one of which is, or at least used to be, explicitly semi-incompatible with BC's
>Mojang decides to introduce a World of Ores update to add all the ores modders need

>>174233259
garbage

make it so eating gives you temporary buffs like potions

>>174233113
Just rename it to stamina.

>>174233113
The main problem is making it not a chore you have to do to keep playing the game, and making it engaging and helpful while also being a duty that needs to be carried out. It should be time based so you don't have to eat every x actions (eating 10 cows of beef in 10 minutes because you are at a mob grinder is stupid)

Make foods give specific low power but long term stacking buffs. Make being full give a little bit of an overall buff. The buffs should last a whole day (which in game is 20 minutes).

Make being starved. not have immediate drastic effects, but a slowly growing set of encrouching debuffs that get to the point where you can't do anything and die. You should experience starvation 2 days after not eating (so you should eat every 40 minutes if you want to stretch it), and death from lack of food should occur in 3 (not going for realism here, but performing the action of making the character eat every hour IRL time sounds reasonable)

>>174233113

eating well gives buffs and bonuses that are worth it

I'm sorry for having ever doubted it. MOTYAY

Approaching page 8. Allow me to open a topic.

So tech mods have been notorious for their notable lack of an endgame stage compared to magic mods. Many mods have nothing to give you after fully upgrading your power system and machines, and the game seemingly ends after getting your RF-powered armor, tools and weapons fully charged. At that point, you wish that you'd have something else to whack your sword on.

If a tech mod would have some kind of endgame challenge that's unrelated to materials processing, what would you prefer?

Personally, Thermal Expansion has a step in the right direction with the introduction of Blizzes, Blitzes and Basalzes. However, the difficulty should be ramped up somehow.
For Minefactory Reloaded, how about the concept of pollution? The more machines are around an area, the less likely that grass will grow from that area.
Matter Overdrive shows promise with its features, but needs a bit of polish in some places.

>>174239534
greg has a pollution system which also makes rain acid rain.

>>174239642
I also wonder why Sludge and Sewage aren't as destructive as I thought entire pools of it would do. There's also the fact that they generate BUT you also create tons of it when you start building your farms, killing the point of having them generate in your world.

That's not a solution to Anon's problem ("multiple mods providing the same ore type"), it's a workaround which includes manual config writing and thus not much better.

>>174249869
Each ore trying to generate its own shit is actually a good thing, because it teaches people to take a fucking look at their configs while making modpacks.

It's like someone thought of some neat shit then tried jamming it together under a loose theme, and it suffers for it.
It doesn't feel like a druidic mod, it feels like a crafting system.

If you want a proper druidic magic mod get witchery.
If you want neat toys to play with, botania is okay, though an anon did a fork of it that just includes some of the interesting or useful things except the fucking horn of the wild one of the only almost mandatory things from botania since nothing has the range of rp2 sickles for plant clearing any more fuck you krypt

But there's something quite important: Betatesting.
Now I have tested the whole thing and though it's hard I can beat the game without dying if I advance carefully. Here's my question for you guys:
Do you want me to release the whole thing as soon as it's finished or do you want me to test it until I consider it's all balanced and good?

I dont really use Big reactors that much.
Mostly for the cube of power with IE.

ProjectE because Matter overdrive is unfinished buggy shit and ExtraE gives me the trade of Power for EMC and EMC for power If I really wanted to. I dont like voiding shit unless I really have to, so I wanted some way of putting millions of stacks of cobble and other basic stone to use.

What do you think I meant by anything but simply jetpacks?

You should never use big reactors, it's a furnace generator wearing the mask of a nuclear reactor and appproving of it makes you a disgrace to autism and engineering.

>>174265682

the jetpack mod that uses thermal foundation shit is NOT ok

>>174267308
That's simply jetpacks m8 and is exactly what I'm complaining about.
Simply garbage more like.

So are there any pro/cons between AE2 and Refined Storage or is it really just that RS is "easier" than AE?

>>174268417
One of them is a ripoff. The other isn't.

>>174261592
People don't like it because
1: memes (which are cringy, but ignorable
2: vazkii (he rubs /mcg/ the wrong way)
3: unoriginality (people say you can find anything in botania in other places
4: due to other mods, mana generation can range from retardedly slow if you don't try things, to so easy it's free and infinite (but every mod runs into this problem if there's any form of crossmod compatibility)

However, botania is an okay mod.
It has everything within itself to do anything the mod asks.
has a lot of toys to play with, it's automation is done bit by bit (the mod is one of those 'here are a bunch of blocks with mechanics you can link up in your own way to make a working "machine"'' instead of the more general all in one solution) and is very redstone friendly

Your mileage may vary on the mod. I would say try it for yourself instead of just taking /mcg/'s sentiment on it. With a bit of creativity, botania definitely has enough content to be a mainstay mod.

>>174268417
RS would be perfect with channels like AE2. The ausence of them makes it too easy. Otherwise, RS is not retarded so you don't need to chase meteorites like a idiot and wait eggs choke hours just to have a microcrafting system.

But AE2's aesthetics are superior.

>>174268417
Last I played, RS is less retarded with balancing. The things needed for it aren't microcrafty to the extreme and made from normal materials. If I recall, it's also chisel and bits compatible, so you can hide the cabling easily. Plus, item storage is handled in plain straight forward numbers, every item is just 1 item instead of some weird amount of data.

I liked RS more than AE2. The casual aspect of it is nice, but I was never much of an automation buff, and just wanted a mod to handle item storage.

>>174272746
Depending on your version, roots might be available to you. You use plants and other things to perform magic. You can even get a giant rooty suit of armor and self repairing tools. (been a while since i've played it, so it might be a bit different now)

75% placed now. Only the final levels and the DLC castle left.
Actually there are almost no spawners. All monsters are handplaced NPCs and they respawn every 400 seconds at night only. That way, it encourages players to use the beds at night, unless they're overpowered, which by the end of the game they should be.

On the other hand, spawners needing light to spawn makes breaking candles all the more fun, so I may change the whole thing or at least add some of this.

Doesn't help that upgrading from 1.6.4 to higher gave it those borders pretty close to spawn because I hadn't explored much on this new one. If Hard Drive recovery becomes cheaper one day I'll gladly pay and then keep my old maps on 1.6.4 forever. Fuck the new terrain.

Upload those to recurrent complex, or some other mod that does custom village spawns. I think RC is promoting its new database, never seen it yet.

>(lack of mods and crazy RAM usage)
Use FoamFix mod for ram issues, serious. I find Heat&Climate a nice all a'rounder, also have NEI installed and its craft recipe index keys setup if you never want to get lost building the new climate recipes (except for cheese).

Further tech mods -> something like immersive engineering.
Being a hippy -> Foresty has 1.10.2 builds.
Trains -> that main train mod does not have complete support. I got basic track and trains support.
Magic -> the fuck do i know? H&C has a cute magic dagger/staffs/trinkets system using gems and climate conditions that does things to the world, it is very OP.
No mods around like Thaumcraft, i understand many anons here won't leave 1.7.10 because of that.

Also what mod, dragons with treasure hoards seems cool as shit

>>174307559
About Thaumcraft... There's always that one mod which keeps a significant number of people on a version. For years, those mods have been Thaumcraft in the magic land and Thermal Expansion in the tech land (and, of course, Traincraft in the train land for those who like trains and were stuck in 1.6.4 for years).

>>174309293
>TE in tech land
>for years
How goddamned new could you possibly be?
Redpower nigger, redpower.
That kept more people from updating than anything else.

TE has been on every version since it's inception besides the meme ones, and is neither remarkable nor notable.
It's only lasting contribution was causing the adoption of the RF standard, which arguably hurt modding for the worse, as standardization decreases originality, creation, and innovation.

>>174309669
>For years
Literally three years. People waited with upgrading to 1.7 until TE was around, same for 1.8, 1.9, 1.10 and now 1.11.

RedPower used to keep people from updating until 1.4.7, but that was a total of 1-2 years. It's historically correct, but no longer true since 1.8+ have been all missing any kind of RedPower clone.

I'm talking about what the case is right now, not what the case was 4 years ago.

>>174309814
>3 years
I knew my time perception was bad, but holy shit.

>>174309946
Yes. 1.7.10 has literally been a major modding version for 2 years before 1.10.2 finally became a thing (2.5 years if you count 1.7.2). This is why no version will likely ever beat 1.7.10 in terms of content amount - the duration of RedPower being gone was far smaller, at just 7 months between the 1.2.5 and 1.4.7 release.

It makes combat unironically fun, you have stamina, you can charge and heavy attacks, alongside a huge variety of weapons for most roles

Minecart jousting is also a very real thing

Castlefag here.
Enabling survival next to a boss was a mistake.

Is there way to disable diorite, granite etc from spawning? I find that stuff kinda useless

>>174319121
In vanilla, no.
In chisel/et futurm, check the configs

>>174288914
then you're a hypocrite

>>174311779
I like the combat in it mainly because I also use mine and blade sofights are not only spamming your sword but also dodging and blocking constantly.

>>174323263
Is it worth it to implement it in the Castle map nowthat pretty much everything else is done? Would I need to rebalance everything again. I adapted the combat to suit Mine and Blade's needs so far.

>>174323479
Its a big mod, but the combat mechanics make you get tired so you need to rest, zombies are more likely to spawn with swords and any mob that has one can block your attacks, even npcs. The thing is they will be harder to kill and you will have to replenish stamina (not much time), but theres also a super attack.

Techguns please, what the fuck am I supposed to do with all this? I haven't even set up mod spawners yet.

just circumnavigated an entire coast to find out if ocean encircled land or if land encircled ocean.
It was the latter, but can i enforce the former? Nothing looks like it works for me in the custom world options unless there's something i'm missing

There, that makes the entire bedrockium bullshit more manageable even though I doubt I'll ever touch those items. What the fuck was RWTema thinking when he made that shit? Why didn't the Extra Simple fork anon add a saner recipe for them? Why did RWTema make all that infinite amount of bullshit to make the Kikoku on 1.10?

Is there a mod to overhaul the villager trading economy? Also anything which allows me to tag a villager to a certain house and workplace for the day?

Do I really need Java to use Optifine?

Well, considering you need Java to run minecraft, and 95% of mods are written in java - probably not.

I'll take 30k HP special mobs Hungry Spiders over that shit

It's a mod on the GT New Horizons serb.

not really, but you could just replace the cavemanjews by proper humans with customNPC

>>174335419
>proper humans

Could you expand on that?

>>174336040
well, you can assign them a model (so steve or similar) and a skin (comes with a good library)
then you can code them waypoints, schedules, trades, random messages...
i'm still not completely sure you can truly make them work (take care of a field/farm/forest, keep stocks...) but i haven't played with scripts that much

>>174334441
there goes all my motivation I had to play this pack

>>174336673
When is vanilla getting similar features? I imagine a villager overhaul is in the works.

>>174336673
You could, but you also risk hitting your TPS in the process.

>>174337030
i think one of the meme versions has villagers farming already (so cutting wheat and making bread) but it's not as grandiose as it sounds

>>174337117
oh, neat, i should try to do a lively village in a barely modded world then use that knowledge to make a pupil do some chain thaumcraft stuff
