M-Tech modpack finally released on 1.19.2.

[noble hemlock]

Hey, now I've finally released my tech mod pack, which I've been thinking about and creating for a year. I would like to hear feedback and popularise the project a little. https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/m-tech-1-19-2

This mod pack has the concepts of minimalism and phase development. Until you pass the previous phase, you will not get access to the next one. Everything is implemented by modifying the recipes of basic crafting items of the next phase with top-end items from the previous one. For more details, see the concepts and the diagram.

History:
When I was looking for a modpack for version 1.16.5. I saw a lot of modpacks in which all popular mods are thrown indiscriminately. There are a lot of cool industrial mods, but they all have almost the same function. You can start developing simultaneously in all mods, have ten different crushers performing the same function. A lot of ores of the same type. Moreover, mods have almost no connection with each other. I don't like this kind of trip. In this connection, I decided to create this modpack. All mods were selected very carefully, I tried to avoid unnecessary mods. The list of mods has been revised and formatted very many times (The modpack exists and has been updated since version 1.16.5 -> 1.17 -> 1.18 -> 1.19.2. Since that time, many concepts and philosophy have undergone changes, the list of mods has been revised and polished. As a result, I came to a certain ideal for me. Unlike many assembly creators, I make an assembly primarily for myself and actively play on it, but I post it so that others can also enjoy this assembly.). There are such global mods as Create, Immersive Engineering, Mekanism, Applied Energistics 2, CC tweaked. There are also many other mods for a better experience, fight, dungeons world gen. But at the same time, the vanilla nature of the game and the philosophy of minecraft are preserved.

Modpack Concepts:

• Simplification of recipes / gameplay is prohibited.
• No cheating(cave minimap, etc).
• Recipe / gameplay complications from any mods are welcome.
• Complicating the recipe / gameplay should be logical, realistic and create better compatibility between mods.
• Excessive complication is prohibited.
• It is impossible to start development in next phase mods without significant development in previous phase mods.
• Each mod added to the modpack should have many unique, in no way replaceable from other mods, really necessary functions.
• The original philosophy of minecraft has been preserved, in other words, everything that happens in the world is influenced by the player.

Recipes of these mods are not touched, you have access to them initially:

• Apotheosis (recipes are untouched, but mod is totally nerfed because of overpowered loot)
• Chunk Loaders
• Construction Wand (except infinite wand and destruction core)
• End Remastered
• Fairy Lights
• Farmer's Delight
• Grappling Hook Mod
• Iron Chests
• MmmMmmMmmMmm (Target Dummy)
• Quark
• Storage Labels
• Tool Belt

Phase 1:
Vanilla and Create.
In this phase, you begin survival. According to the concepts of this assembly, Create is a mod of the simplest, rough and inaccurate mechanical technologies of the 17-18th century with a little bit of magic. To move on to the next phase, you will need to create almost all the mechanisms from this mod, organize a lot of conveyor production lines and extract a lot of netherite, it is assumed that you will do this not manually but with the help of minecart contraption consisting of many mechanical drill and lava-substituting mechanisms. And as a culmination, the craft Alternator, with which the mechanical energy of the Create mod is translated into FE. Also, in the middle of this phase, you will have access to:

• Create Enchantment Industry (As you improve in Create mod)
• Infinite Construction Wand (after creating mechanical arm)(except destruction core)
• Simple Planes (after creating railway casing and mechanical arm)
• MrCrayfish's Gun Mod (after killing a dragon and visiting the end city)
• Sophisticated Backpacks (after killing a dragon and visiting the end city)
• Create Crafts & Additions (At the very end of this phase)

Phase 2:
Immersive Engineering.
Mod of large and heavy machines of the 19-20th century. To craft processors from Mekanism and AE2, you will need Arc Furnace, a diesel generator to power it, and as a result, almost all other machines of this mod.

Phase 3:
Advanced Peripherals, Applied Energistics 2, CC: Tweaked, Mekanism.
20-21th century. Build nuclear reactors, store items in the form of information, get energy armor, create computers that perform the most difficult tasks. You are limited only by your imagination. After a little progress, you will have access to mods such as:

• Scannable
• Destructive core from Construction Wand (after significant progress in mekanism)

[outer spruce]

Energy armour in 21st century? I dont think well get there

You wrote a lot about phase 1, is it because since its the first release there is less content further on or didnt esnt to spoil it

[noble hemlock]

Regarding Phase 2, it represents a comprehensive development in IE. From scratch to the very top. The mod is very global in itself and will take no less time than phase 1, I don't see the point in describing it in more detail.

Regarding phase 3, it is really possible to describe it in more detail, I will do it.

[noble hemlock]

Maybe these mods are a bit sci-fi, but the content of these mods mostly belongs to the 21st century.

[noble hemlock]

Edited the description.

[storm nova]

@proud galleon Would you mind not downvoting posts? It's toxic and adds nothing useful.

[proud galleon]

np

i didn't mean to be rude or toxic

[gilded basin]

You can up/down vote these?

[sullen socket]

I don't think that's how it works

[storm nova]

It is though?

At least, it is here.

[storm nova]

Upvotes are added by default, downvoting is considered toxic

Also why did none of you ping me :<

Discord bug maybe?

oh well ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sullen socket]

Definitely don't remember anyone saying that it's toxic

[storm nova]

Would you like me to ask a moderator?

[sullen socket]

1 - Not trying to start an argument
2 - Go ahead

[storm nova]

1 - Neither
2 - @obsidian harness Hi, please confirm

[obsidian harness]

It is

@sullen socket don't downvote posts please thanks

[storm nova]

it wasn't him

aaron smfh

[sullen socket]

In that case, should probably remove the emoji (Then again, it could probably be used for polls)

[obsidian harness]

Oh fair enough

[storm nova]

it was sainthozier, and they apologized

[obsidian harness]

I didn't see anything here

[storm nova]

yeah it only shows upvotes iirc

there's a thinking emoji on this too

[obsidian harness]

Other emojis (that aren't rude in some way, like ) are fine

[storm nova]

do you read this as sain thozier or saint hozier

[obsidian harness]

Sorry for ping 🙏

Saint hozier

[storm nova]

is great when used correctly

fabricord has an epic-fails channel and a good chunk of the posts have conc reactions

[obsidian harness]

Depends on context rly

[storm nova]

rightfully so because they are major conc

[obsidian harness]

If it's bc mcreator or smth, toxic

[storm nova]

if it's because haha whatthefuck, funni

[obsidian harness]

If it's bc funny weird mod, fine

[storm nova]

like that time I made endermen pick up chests

[obsidian harness]

Lol

[storm nova]

@low parcel Following up on this, #1047471301025091584 should have a guidelines which not only describes the posting rules, but also states not to downvote.

(Just so it's extremely clear downvote = bad)

[sullen socket]

Again, downvote should probably just be used for polls

[storm nova]

It is

#feedback (you can't see it yet; regular+)

imri why are you here

I see you

[misty girder]

I am everywhere

[storm nova]

hold up gimme five minutes

[misty girder]

insert obligatory yo momma so fat she covers the server joke

[storm nova]

imri can I get a still of your pfp

[misty girder]

Which part of it?

[storm nova]

whole image, any frame

that, or just the tiefling works too

but pfp would work better for this

[misty girder]

I don't have one with the background, Jared did that for me

[storm nova]

that'll do, thanks

actually wait

I'll just screenshot /avatar

[tulip stream]

im pretty sure you can automate removing certain emojis with gnome

[storm nova]

that could work

[proud galleon]

Shulker backpack

[noble hemlock]

Yes, because if you have backpack in the start of the game, it's cheating, because in original minecraft you need go to the end sity and kill shulker to have backpack. Also i replaced immersive engineering crates, witch are equal to shulker, to barrels in worldgen to fix this cheating moment.

[storm nova]

how is it cheating

also that'd break their loot I'd say

since it gens on container open, not container generate

[solar lion]

in vanilla mc there are not 23490 items, hence there is no need for a backpack (to some degree), and they gate said unnecessary commodity behind the end, which is why in vanilla shulker boxes are not used as backpacks, but as a way to move large quantities of items for big projects

in modded minecraft, it stops being a commodity and it becomes a necessity, caused by a problem, inexistent in the base game, which is why in every modpack backpacks are not gated behind the end of the game

its cheating in vanilla mc, sure, but your modpack isnt vanilla mc, and doesnt (or, shouldnt) have the same problems and balance decisions as vanilla mc

(my two cents)

[noble hemlock]

Yes, there is really not enough space in the inventory in the initial phases of the game. Especially after adding apotheosis. I think to solve the problem a little differently by adding a mod for realistic backpacks. That is, the backpack itself is not very roomy and it is impossible to take more than one backpack in the inventory. And op backpacks from sophisticated backpacks will be available only after a hike to the end.

[storm nova]

sophis backpacks is a bad mod IMO

it basically replaces chests

since you can use them practically as such

[noble hemlock]

No, i will make better, i don't need another mod, i will realise it using kubejs and sophisticated backpacks.

[noble hemlock]

In my opinion, on the contrary, this is the best mod. Yes, it's even better than the chests, but we also have more items. How are they worse than the shalkers that are in the original minecraft? There are also many unique and very convenient extensions. In addition, given that the recipe is very complicated and access to them opens after access to the shalkers, I do not see a problem.

[noble hemlock]

Yes, it was supposed to break the loot, and even planned to fix it at the creation stage. But as a result of the tests, it turned out that nothing needs to be fixed and the loot does not change.

[storm nova]

Huh.

[noble hemlock]

Started making quests for phase 1.

[fathom chasm]

That is beautiful

[noble hemlock]

Solution of backpack problem:

[storm nova]

You can load and execute entire Java methods and classes in KubeJS?

[noble hemlock]

As you see, yes.

[noble hemlock]

A couple of weeks ago I started a new game with this change of backpacks, this is really the perfect solution to the problem of backpacks.

Thanks for the constructive criticism of the radical ban on backpacks at the initial stage of the game. It helped to come to the ideal.

[storm nova]

How lategame is CC:T? Looking at the image, it seems pretty lategame?

[noble hemlock]

My idea is that at the create and IE stages, this mod is still almost not applicable. And after creating an arc furnace, you almost immediately have full access to CC. Besides, computers before the advent of processors would not sound logical.

[storm nova]

how come it is not applicable?

but I do see your point about processors

[storm nova]

CC:T is one of those mods that isn't super useful to gate, because it's not OP

it's not like you can just plop down a computer and get a storage system, no

you have to make that storage system yourself using Lua

[noble hemlock]

I agree with you that they are not OP, but I just use CC in the later stages, I don't see how they will fit into the initial stages. This will just break the whole concept of assembly.

[noble hemlock]

Started phase 3 quests.

[noble hemlock]

Quests for ae2

[gilded basin]

So they have any rewards or are half of those quests pointless waste of resources

[sullen socket]

More likely that some of these quests help guide the player through progression in the modpack

Not every quest needs a reward, you know

[outer spruce]

I mean a quest doesnt need to take your resources from you, it can just check whether you have it in the inventory

[noble hemlock]

The achievement is counted automatically when the item appears in the inventory for the first time. The item remains. These quests are needed solely for the direction of the player.

[noble hemlock]

I couldn't believe I'd finished it.

[storm nova]

oh?

[noble hemlock]

Mekanism quests. What means "oh?"? Sorry, my English is not enough to understand this.

[storm nova]

"oh?" means like "what's this?" or "tell me more!"

[noble hemlock]

Quests for mekanism, take into account every aspect of the mod.

[gilded basin]

Making quests is hell on earth
