Forge Labs' UNofficial Modpacks

[pulsar nimbus]

love that

yes

[fringe ocean]

they have stuff that glows at night so they don't really work

[pulsar nimbus]

Yes yes great love it

[fringe ocean]

but having them as that rare biome that replaces the other vanilla rare biome is suitable in my view.

anything more prominent tho doesn't work

[pulsar nimbus]

lush valley mate?

[fringe ocean]

due to the glowing stuff

lush valley I use plenty

[pulsar nimbus]

eh

i have an idea

you might like/not it

okay first this

are we using this?

[fringe ocean]

we are but it's a non-factor for replacing anything that isn't on a mountain

so it is not viable for the debate of what to replace old growth with

[pulsar nimbus]

i rly like my idea hol don

[fringe ocean]

but yes, glacial chasm is in use

[pulsar nimbus]

oh wait i dont have terra on i cant locate

but this

Alaska right?

This is a good pick mate

[fringe ocean]

but thats a ton of snow right there

[pulsar nimbus]

ik

but i do feel it kinda, no?

what if youre like 50 days in

full parka

and you just go there to live

boiler on 24/7

cozy hut

it does not have to be common

[fringe ocean]

actually I think I just found our solution.

[pulsar nimbus]

you gotta admit that ss looks very like alaska type

[fringe ocean]

the regions unexplored mountains biome is a nice pine forest.

[pulsar nimbus]

i will uh

[fringe ocean]

it is intended for mountain tops but there is absolutely nothing preventing us from using it elsewhere

it is also quite dense

[pulsar nimbus]

hold on i will be on it

can you think about that snowy?

[fringe ocean]

I think anything snowy is a last resort.

winter takes care of the snow.

every biome will be "alpine grove" when the season changes.

[pulsar nimbus]

i do feel that way too

but

if this biome really slaps.

right?

[fringe ocean]

I think my option probably slaps more.

[pulsar nimbus]

yk its uh

not the greatest lookin

[fringe ocean]

the trees are nice with the texture change on them

the tree shape is also appropriate

and with Tectonic ..

and the other mods

[pulsar nimbus]

its not the worst

[fringe ocean]

also in terms of the overall color of the biome, it fits the purpose quite well.

[pulsar nimbus]

what abt caldera

i do kinda wait it no?

[fringe ocean]

visit one.

[pulsar nimbus]

fair

[fringe ocean]

I am not sure it will work as a biome in the forest.

[pulsar nimbus]

looks promising

oh thats cool

yellowstone next to it

and this caldera mountain

oh wow

[fringe ocean]

screenshot buddy.

[pulsar nimbus]

okay heres the thing tho

[fringe ocean]

that looks lovely, altho it'd be much better if those mountains were forested.

[pulsar nimbus]

caldera is surrounded by rocky mountains

so imagine volcano

lava = caldera

[fringe ocean]

also I don't see any caldera in that pic

[pulsar nimbus]

rest = rocky mountains

[fringe ocean]

not viable.

remember, we need vanilla biomes that follow the same arrangement.

[pulsar nimbus]

it does slap tho

[fringe ocean]

it does slap but we can't use it this way with just replacing vanilla biomes.

[pulsar nimbus]

pine slopes

[fringe ocean]

we're already using pine slopes.

[pulsar nimbus]

its same as mountains but i see goats spawning here

oh

bro but yk pine slopes and mountains is like the same

[fringe ocean]

I'll use mountains for now. we can potentially replace it later.

[pulsar nimbus]

do we have duplicates many?

can you dm config i want to see

[glossy cairn]

Hey i just wanted to ask something really quickly if worldpainter is good for creating custom worlds or should i just use a mod?

[marsh marsh]

worldgen is better imo cause u dont have to worry exploring about "borders" or and infinity ocean etc

[glossy cairn]

I was thinking something like TerraForged but i will try it thx 🙏

[marsh marsh]

TerraForge is S Tier

[glossy cairn]

So should i use that or worldgen im lost 😭

[marsh marsh]

if u play 1.16.5 or 1.18.2 yes

[glossy cairn]

Oh okay okay thx again

[marsh marsh]

what version r u on?

[glossy cairn]

Ehh im not stable i keep change versions but at the time 1.16.5

[marsh marsh]

yea then 100% terraforged

[glossy cairn]

Thx

[marsh marsh]

check out the preset channel in the terraforge discord too

[fair folio]

Yes but in my opinion from the fog is not the best because he only stalks you and if you enable it he will burn down your house which would not fit in well with the tower and stalking is horror but I just feel like it should be a horror mod that stalks you then kills you or just kills you like the The Night Prowler or the wendigo

[fair folio]

Forge should combine zombie apocolypes with the tower from alasken wilderness like it would be straned on a tower with zombies or something like that idk

[quartz rapids]

make your own

[fair folio]

Bro I do not need to when I'm publishing my own and already have one that is my own custom one and a preset one someone made with the tower

[quartz rapids]

?

we talking abt horror modpacks

[fair folio]

Same I have one pending in modrinth lmao

[quartz rapids]

also idk abt u but its not fun doing exactly what a yt did

tbh

i woudl like to make my own tower n stuff but its uyur choice im not gonna judge

but yea its js more fun

[fair folio]

And it's easer for me to not have to build one and have to use a debug stick on every singe wall which would take ages

[quartz rapids]

nah but im js saying

[fair folio]

K

[mental rover]

Anyone have a clue why I have 2 moons. Im playing the new modpack from Annoy https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/alaskan-wilderness-reimagined

And the 2 moons

[marsh marsh]

stellar sky mod

[fair folio]

Yeah and there are two new versions so i suggest you download the latest version

[fair folio]

holy shit im adding this

[mental rover]

Thanks thats it.

[marsh marsh]

you welcome

[fringe ocean]

pure stalking is perfect. anything more like a wendigo random death event is just cheap and pointless

practically all of those horror mods are trash

[pulsar nimbus]

Yes its stellar sky but its been resolved in 2.0 and 2.1

[quartz rapids]

nah tbh from the fog is just not scary sure stalking is good but it literally JUST stalks, whats scary about stalking isnt just being stalked, its about the danger stalking brings, like death or attacks, and herobrine JUST stalks which tbh isnt that scary ive never actually been scared of herobrine

[fringe ocean]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXN2aoYBRp0

Just stalking is perfect.

Horror is not about a random death event.

Horror is existential.

Horror is the unknown.

Not some ridiculous looking creature with yanky animations speeding into your face and killing you with a hit or two.

Nothing at all scary about that.

Horror was Sean walking through the woods at night in the 100 Days Alaska video, afraid to run into a bear or a boar or even just a moose.

It was scary not because he knew something was there - he didn't know if there was something.

It was scary because he didn't know.

But if you have a mod like Wendigo, you know it is there.

Being alone but worrying that you might not be is alot scarier than not being alone and knowing it.

[quartz rapids]

yea at least the bear doesnt just stare at u 😂

[quartz rapids]

uhm isnt bear the exact same thing in mc?

and also with that logic at night walking through the forest imagine u hear a loud scream and then u turn around to go back to ur base but u see a "ridiculous looking yanky creature" just charge at you

and its scary not ebcause u know its there but bcz u dont know its there ur not expecting it to spawn there

[quartz rapids]

uhm how exactly

we dont get specific information about its location

[fringe ocean]

idk, I guess I just have too high standards for horror genre stuff.

I don't fall for the ridiculous creature stuff

[quartz rapids]

yea but mc is a block game ide think u can make it scary ngl

the scariest it gets is losing ur hardcore world

[fringe ocean]

You're not supposed to make MC "scary"

it's a pixel art block game

[quartz rapids]

yea ik but some people like "horror" mdods

mods*

[fringe ocean]

well they shouldn't be called "horror" since they're not horror.

most of them are just a ridiculous looking random death event.

[quartz rapids]

yea

or a dweller

like wth is a bread dweller

they js ruined dwellers, the definition of dwellers is soemthing that strives in its environment probably, so a cave dweller only spawns in caves and stalks u in caves.

[fringe ocean]

every last one of those mods tends to be extremely cheap and badly made

alot of them are MCreator.

that's already 💀 to begin with

MCreator is an insult to real modders.

[quartz rapids]

whats that

oh.

that

[fringe ocean]

it's a tool that allows anyone without any java / coding knowledge to just click together a mod, with the tool doing the programming for you.

the result is a f*ckton of low effort cookie cutter mods that anyone can just replicate in a few clicks.

Nothing unique about them.

And that's also why so many of the "Horror" mods with Wendigo and whatever are basically the same mod and creature dressed up in a different ridiculous model and texture.

and to the "modders" making those I'd also say: no, adding more teeth than a shark has to your "scary slendigo" doesn't make it scarier.

it just makes the tooth fairy happier.

[quartz rapids]

tbh i feel like broken script is perfect

not only is it stalking but it has a weird series of event

and the longer u play the crazier u start going

[fringe ocean]

I can't say I'm familiar with that one.

but I mean, all the ones I've seen showcased were basically just the same thing in a different shape

From the Fog is the only mod that is somewhat different in the genre in my view.

Since unless you config him to, he really only stalks you.

[swift holly]

yeah uh does anyone know what mod makes me have only 3 hearths?

on that modpack

becuase its literally annoying

[fringe ocean]

We're working on a different Alaska pack right now that is built from scratch and will mirror Sean's concept considerably better than that.

As in, Pilott and I.

[swift holly]

yeah uh good luck

but do you know or not

[fair folio]

Yeah I agree with you and @fringe ocean but I like the feeling that you know something is out there ready to kill

[fringe ocean]

and the Bears aren't dangerous enough for you?

[fair folio]

Well Bears aren't horror

[fringe ocean]

neither is yanky slendigo with choppy animations and more teeth than a shark

also if you think that being caught out in the wild by a bear isn't horrifying, I have a bridge to sell you

[fair folio]

Well I really only like well known ones well not really all of them

[fringe ocean]

idk, this guy should go see a dentist.

the only thing this guy can scare is the tooth fairy.

she'll go bankrupt having to pay up that much.

[pulsar nimbus]

what you doing rn man

[fringe ocean]

minecraft is not an artstyle that lends itself to body horror and jumpscare horror

[fringe ocean]

me? taking a break.

heck I'm probably done for the day.

I have a sufficient config for biome replacer, tectonic, distant horizons, and biome sizes.

[pulsar nimbus]

update me with the new configs?

[fringe ocean]

noisium, overworld quartz, DH, jade, and JEI were added to the pack today.

next step will be a little bit more tectonic testing, and then adding in mods that add density to the surface features of the biomes.

this includes the mod that adds the wild crops, as well as project: vibrant journeys

[fair folio]

Well my horror modpack should be a little over the top with too many horror mods but rn I'm watching AI play minecraft

[pulsar nimbus]

nice

[swift holly]

yo are yall making a new alaska modpack from scratch

[signal arrow]

he is

prob

[swift holly]

ok

[signal arrow]

loks amazing

[pulsar nimbus]

working with Psych

[signal arrow]

w

gl

[fringe ocean]

we are.

it'll be better than all the versions currently on curseforge.

that's a promise.

we're absolutely cooking with the biome config now.

[signal arrow]

w

[fringe ocean]

I'll also say that it will be at least a week until we have something playable.

But it'll be properly set up, with the right mobs (minus Sean's bear, which is not publicly available), Create, farming stuff, seasons, temperature system, and health system.

I am having a guy look into a mod now that will allow us to place a firewatch tower at the player spawn.

that will be a custom made mod specifically for this modpack if he can pull it off

this way players will have the firewatch tower on whatever map they play with the modpack

[pulsar nimbus]

yo

great

anyway i hate that siberian taiga after a thought

[fringe ocean]

and that same modder is also gonna look into making a clothing mod for the pack.

[pulsar nimbus]

the snowy/scarlet was such a better choice

[fringe ocean]

since that doesn't exist yet either, and having a larger wardrobe available to use with coldsweat or LSO would be amazing

[pulsar nimbus]

I remembered

you know to insulate your clotches with lso you need those plants that spawn in warm biomes

we have none, js

unless like idk

[fair folio]

You should enable shaders

[pulsar nimbus]

its a miracle dh works bruv

[fringe ocean]

he is playing on a calculator.

shaders aren't an option for him, but also aren't needed for us putting together the project

[fair folio]

What project?

[fringe ocean]

we'll just have custom clothes that are made in their own ways, be it with feathers, leather, wool, etc.

leather jackets, down jackets, wool jackets, whatever

[pulsar nimbus]

are we gon use coldsweat fr

[fringe ocean]

our ultimate Alaskan Frontier modpack.

[fringe ocean]

probably not, but the mod will support it.

since the mod isn't just for us.

[pulsar nimbus]

yes

[fringe ocean]

it'll be public so it can be in many modpacks.

[pulsar nimbus]

fs

[fringe ocean]

since a mod like that is sorely missing.

[pulsar nimbus]

dh crashed again bruv

[fringe ocean]

"bruh" "frfr" "fs" "js"

[fair folio]

What is it about?

[fringe ocean]

well it's another version of the Alaskan Wilderness thing Sean did on Forgelabs

[pulsar nimbus]

a desert

[fair folio]

Oh I could probably help

[fringe ocean]

I'm not interested in Wendigo mod recommendations.

[fair folio]

Bro I do not need to add horror mods to it lmao

[fringe ocean]

just saying :p

[pulsar nimbus]

@fringe ocean idk man

[fringe ocean]

I think that looks good.

[pulsar nimbus]

better than glacial here or scarlet?

[fringe ocean]

yes.

[pulsar nimbus]

it is an idea.

[fair folio]

I know and your stareotyping me because I talked about horror you know that horror is not everything

[fringe ocean]

you gotta remember this doesn't just appear below volcanoes - it also appears below the emerald peaks.

[fringe ocean]

I'm just pulling your leg.

[fair folio]

And don't you want snowy mountains? to recreate the one Forge did?

[fringe ocean]

we also have snowy mountains.

this is just one of 3 peak biomes (the volcano).

[fair folio]

Yeah but the volcano does not fit in

[pulsar nimbus]

bro

[fringe ocean]

the other 2 peak biomes are snowy.

[pulsar nimbus]

Boreal spawns like under every single peak

[fringe ocean]

Sean had volcanoes, so we're having volcanoes.

[pulsar nimbus]

what

[mental rover]

I had the most recent version and it was still an issue. I even tried the shader setting mentioned on the mods description page and that mate it worse with these huge yellow sprites all over the sky. I just uninstalled it and its fixed. Maybe it wasn't playing nice with one of the mods I added.

[pulsar nimbus]

that might be grove, no?

[fair folio]

"Alaskan"

[fringe ocean]

dude.. I already explained to you why

exactly, because it is grove.

[pulsar nimbus]

its a good thing

(?)

[fringe ocean]

well we're staying faithful to Sean's concept.

[fair folio]

Okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[fringe ocean]

it's Alaskan enough

[pulsar nimbus]

how about cold shrubland on grove mate

[fringe ocean]

it stays faithful to what Sean's pack was about, but cuts a little bit of fat and adds stuff in other areas.

[fringe ocean]

how about we do this tomorrow

and no.

[fair folio]

😭

It's fine

[pulsar nimbus]

okay i dont really know where grove is

but yes boreal does not look bad in those places below moountains

[fringe ocean]

grove is one of the lower slope biomes.

exactly, Boreal is fine there

[pulsar nimbus]

so perfect

great great

[fringe ocean]

and we got rid of ALOT of boreal when we returned the vanilla forests.

[fair folio]

Can you send ss

[pulsar nimbus]

ik

[fair folio]

That's preaty nice I do like the mountains more

But when do you think Forge is going to release the main pack?

[fringe ocean]

Sean is injured and unable to work on it.

Don't expect it any sooner than in like 3-4 weeks.

Ours will be ready before that.

[fair folio]

I know but can't he just export it and give it to someone in his modrinth thing and let them deal with it?

[fringe ocean]

I hope he gets well soon.

[fringe ocean]

No.

Sean is the quality control and he'll do the job himself.

He does it well.

[fair folio]

Okay 😦

[pulsar nimbus]

is Sean like actually the goat when it comes to making packs or is he not the maker of all the work?

[fringe ocean]

I think he is the guy behind all of the most notable ForgeLabs packs

but is he one of the all time best modpack makers?

no.

[pulsar nimbus]

Sean is ForgeLabs yes

you said it in such a way that got me confused

waht

[fringe ocean]

Well I wasn't sure if there were more people in the ForgeLabs team

no ForgeLabs packs have quite hit the success that packs like "Roguelike Adventures and Dungeons" have

[pulsar nimbus]

whats the name of the person recording videos?

[fringe ocean]

Sean is the guy you hear and who plays in the 100 Days in Alaska video

[pulsar nimbus]

right yes

[fringe ocean]

as far as I am aware. lol

[pulsar nimbus]

br

[fringe ocean]

unless I am completely misinformed.

[pulsar nimbus]

now i dont even know

about dh

yeah why dont i js join their server for support yah

[fringe ocean]

this is 🔥 and we're sticking with either this or the alternate biome I sent you for the purpose (in my view)

[pulsar nimbus]

werent those 2 pics literally the same one

[tribal bison]

Hi

I'm plushiee on an alt because my main account got false banned and there's no mod to help me atm. @marsh marsh said that it is allowed to ban evade (if false banned).

[pulsar nimbus]

pff i saw it

i laughed so hard

[tribal bison]

Alaskan enough. I'd say to replace the volcano with a substitute. There are only a few active volcanoes in Alaska. Plus, they dont fit in the theme ig

[pulsar nimbus]

Peter is it really okay to ban evade lmao

[tribal bison]

yeah hes just a chill guy

https://tenor.com/view/chill-guy-chill-guy-just-a-chill-guy-relax-gif-1579445140409713118

[pulsar nimbus]

yah i would like to see this from an admin bro

[tribal bison]

accurate representation of Peter G

[pulsar nimbus]

and you got false banned because

[tribal bison]

i dont even know

why

[pulsar nimbus]

you remember what you said

[tribal bison]

fen

[pulsar nimbus]

not quite

lmao

[tribal bison]

yes

[pulsar nimbus]

you added a little letter after that

[tribal bison]

it is exactly what i said

[tribal bison]

niet

[pulsar nimbus]

yas

[tribal bison]

oh maybe yes

typo i swear

[pulsar nimbus]

dang

i would love to get an admin opinion on this

i cant js ping that seems not okay

[tribal bison]

indeed

[pulsar nimbus]

shall i try

im shivering my boots

jax was on like 20 min ago

@covert ridge :>

we're having a convo about ban evading if it was faulty or smth

apparently its okay, as said by Peter

[tribal bison]

shivers my timbers

[tribal bison]

by they way... this one. Don't you think that the scene is too icy?

[pulsar nimbus]

im watching his video like actually for the 1st time rn, on 1st hour

i really like how he approaches stuff, really cool

Oh heres jax

[covert ridge]

What makes you day it was a false ban?

[pulsar nimbus]

he said a word

there was a biome called fen

and he added t at the end.

i watched with my own eyes

[covert ridge]

Ah. No, like I've said since the beginning: false or not, it's only a seven day ban. This is ban evasion and can get you permabanned @tribal bison

[pulsar nimbus]

im really thinking what to say

thats just unfortunate

[pulsar nimbus]

That automatic ban tho eh

Thats where i see the problem you know, no warning, no nothing, just immediate ban and goodbye

[covert ridge]

I mean, autocorrect is probably what screwed them over. In the end though, it's just the rules 🤷

[pulsar nimbus]

man

[covert ridge]

Or else we end up with people using slurs and claiming it was an accident, yk?

[pulsar nimbus]

from the bottom of my heart

this is too strict man

dang, mute, a timeout

[covert ridge]

Don't like don't stay 🤷 the rules are the rules

[pulsar nimbus]

Oka sure yeah but actually full honesty man do you have at least the smallest thought of it like

maybe it is a bit too harsh for a single word

ay im scared to even send a gif cuz i might be banned for a link

[covert ridge]

Promoting drugs? It was unintentional, sure, but it's in place for when it isn't

Gifs are allowed but A) no memes, B) only ppl above level 5 can actually use embeds

[pulsar nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-yeah-okay-then-aight-gif-13383344606577294081

okay well

thanks for coming down for a chat, eh

[fair folio]

@pulsar nimbus @fringe ocean are you using biome replacer to remove and get the biomes you want so then no matter what your going to get good seeds and if you do can you send me your config

[fair folio]

Well I don't need your config but in general are you using biome replacer if not imo you should so you can get the best results

[swift holly]

yall really oughta add some survival gear like a fire axe

[marsh marsh]

if u have seen what i send plushie why you ask me then "if its okay to ban evade"

makes no sense

[pulsar nimbus]

is he still here

yeah

idk why i typed that out i just could check and dont say it lol

[marsh marsh]

plushie also told me when he dm'd me that he typed "Fen?" not with the t, not a false ban then tho

but i think its okay i guess to evade right? i mean since you typed same as plushie did but intentionally and coming back on a new account to advertise your modpack in its own thread

[covert ridge]

Y'all need to read the rules jfc

[pulsar nimbus]

jfc

[marsh marsh]

that was sarcastic btw

[pulsar nimbus]

i had to google that shortcut

abbrevation, cool word

[polar steppe]

I have unbanned your main ID now you can join back in, but when you join remove the alt id you have in here.

And whenever you face a false ban and join with your alt ID, i would recommend reaching out the staff members through mod mail and inform about the false ban.

[pulsar nimbus]

Oh hey man i sent a mail actually when i saw its possible and sadly no help unless yall decided that it wasnt needed or something

But it was regarding literally the same issue as presented here, even the same type of message

[polar steppe]

I see. So is this your alt ID?

[pulsar nimbus]

it does look like it. uh yes, quite unfortunate situation we had

[polar steppe]

Give me your original IDs UID

[pulsar nimbus]

983050467955318824

You dont even realize how funny that was to see 2nd person do literally the same thing.

Conversation about fen biome from regions unexplored.

[polar steppe]

Wait annoy0 is your ID?

[pulsar nimbus]

well yea

[polar steppe]

Its already unbanned

[pulsar nimbus]

m

its been?

[polar steppe]

Yes

[pulsar nimbus]

i was so invested in working with psych i didnt check after

[polar steppe]

Leave through the alt and you can join with the original ID

If anyone else is facing this issue tag me and lemme know

[pulsar nimbus]

i cant find, sorry a minute

hey thanks for making that ticket man, appreciate you

Skunk.mp4

[fair folio]

Why do my public playlists on yt music get more views then I would if I made two videos 😭

[quartz rapids]

how do these guys code bro i could never

[carmine skiff]

doing this type of quality modpack with devotion for the community is just pure and sincere generosity, thank you very much and can't wait for the release !

[wild halo]

before we actually release it i can recommend AWR for now, totally not biased at all

[carmine skiff]

In all your objectivity of course 😉

[mental rover]

Having a weird problem with Create Elevators and the newest Alaska modlist by @wild halo So I build an elevator from Level 60 down to bedrock. Ive built lots of Create elevators so everything was where is should be. All contacts activate when starting the contraction/elevator. Each contact has its floor number. HOWEVER when I scroll to select the floor I only get a few even numbered floors. I always get the top level and usually the bottom but only one or 2 of the middle floors. But the middle ones also change, lets say its floors 14 then 4 then 0 going down. But up is 0 10 then 14. If I use a button on each contact every floor works it just doesnt work with the elevator controller. Im sure its an incompatibility with a mod but I'm not getting an error at launch and the game works normally otherwise. I also tried building an elevator in a completely different chunk and had the same problem.

Anyone have a clue how to debug this?

[wild halo]

I dont support create in my pack

[mental rover]

My bad then. I tried all three Alaska lists and thought yours had it in the list from the 1st or 2nd release. Ill go bother the Create team.

[wild halo]

?? what

I never added create

[mental rover]

Yeah I get that. One of the Alaska lists put out this month had it but I must have added it to your list at some point. Again, my mistake.

[fair folio]

Time to pregenerate 4096 chunks

[tribal bison]

well thats bad man

[tribal bison]

sure

[covert ridge]

What does this have to do with the channel?

To this, very related to the pack we’re working on

[gritty herald]

modpack?

[fair folio]

Yeah

[gritty herald]

Yeah Whats the modpack?

[wild halo]

bro is not serious

[gritty herald]

Tf Is the Modpack

[wild halo]

awr

[uneven wraith]

Pretty sure for tough as nails u have to use a bottle to drink any water

[tribal bison]

Very close to the main tower i'd say

[wild halo]

Its literally 1:1 base

[tribal bison]

i see

does anyone know why ambient sounds 6 does not work with Terralith? Specifically in biomes like terralith:shield which occupies like 90% of my world?

[fair folio]

Why buy one map when I can just get a member ship 🙂

[fringe ocean]

but alaska map is not released det

yet

[quasi ingot]

So, I'm new. I see you guys working hard on recreating it. Will forge labs ever release an official version? If not will the one you guys are working on be drag and drop playable or will it need a lot of config file updates?

[fringe ocean]

yes

[wild halo]

I recommend AWR version on forge for now

[fair folio]

Yeah

Omfg I hate modrinth moderators my modpack got rejected because I did not get the permission for some of the mods and I did not link the mods which I did do that in every versions chanelog and I also linked them in the description

[signal arrow]

das wild

[fringe ocean]

another Alaska pack?

if yes… why?

[fair folio]

No my horror mod pack

[fringe ocean]

ah

no such thing as a horror modpack with MC tho :p

[fair folio]

Wdym?

[fringe ocean]

Nothing I'm just pulling your leg.

Just stuff I said before.

Minecraft is not a game that lends itself to horror. And one can't really intentionally make a horror pack for MC in my view.

The most "horror" situations typically come from suspense when things are tense in a situation where Horror isn't expected.

If you're playing a "horror pack", you're expecting the Horror.

[tribal bison]

that is just like saying 'If you're watching a horror movie, you're expecting horror'.

[fringe ocean]

Horror movies aren't interactive.

[tribal bison]

I've played some of em

[tribal bison]

well then it would be the same as with a horror game

like Pacify

[fringe ocean]

Note that most horror games don't just do what Minecraft horror mods do.

[tribal bison]

Cave dweller is pretty good

[fringe ocean]

"Yanky creature that's basically a random death event"

with sh*t animations

[tribal bison]

niet

the new one is good

and if coupled with ambient sounds

[covert ridge]

Y'all, take it to DMs

[tribal bison]

sorry lord

[tribal bison]

well technically we're talking about modpacks

and sean has tried the cave dweller

[covert ridge]

We're not here to argue about what is or isn't scary

[gusty vale]

If ya'll wanna talk about dwellers do so in #🌱︱minecraft lol

[tribal bison]

@fringe ocean #🌱︱minecraft

[wild halo]

Bro werent you supposed to leave on this account or smth

[fringe ocean]

we should take your build and adapt it and make it NBT format, so we can use it with the spawn structure mod.

[wild halo]

Bro the fleeing animals mad funny

They kinda glitchy sometime and spin in places

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1056303152363749377/1326518692661432401/mati.gif?=

bro the boar attacks me on its own but as soon as i hit it back its like "oh hell nah he can fight im running" 🙏 😭

[fringe ocean]

would be better if it were the other way around

it flees until you mess with it, then it deals with you.

[wild halo]

well uh thats how this mob works

i could do it like

it tries to flee somehow slowly

but when it detects the attack it has an option to attack you back

[fringe ocean]

the moose should probably just ignore you until you get too close for comfort, then it deals with you. I don't think Moose should flee - they don't do in Sean's video either

idk if their AI already does this.

[wild halo]

the boar's ai works kinda weird

it tries to run and attack at the same time

my tweaks are working with the mod's default ai

by default the boar doesnt run but can attack back

okay its fine enough

[wild halo]

bro im like done with tweaking all AIs for mobs and it would be good if you take a look at all the mobs that we have enabled still and tell what needs custom ai too

[fringe ocean]

we're proper cooking now.

[wild halo]

bro was supposed to fix tectonic config but is instead flying around taking photos bruh

[tame jasper]

Those look sick

[fringe ocean]

Yup we're making progress. Still alot of tweaking to do, but at least it looks good now.

[safe wyvern]

I'm just making my own modpack at this point lmao

I got the mod that can make you get quartz from the sands

I am looking for a good animal ai mod rn

trying out lots of animal ai mods but it also makes the bear in the naturalist mod run away too

did anyone find a good pacifist mobs-running away from you mod?

[fringe ocean]

Sean's pack will probably be ready soon, and ours as well.

And we have a solution for mobs running away.

Wait and see until it's out to find out how we did it.

There's no point in like 5 more cheap imitations of Sean's video making it onto Curseforge

Quality takes time.

[wild halo]

thats your greatest achievement you made while making the pack?

[safe wyvern]

I was looking for that volcano in the seans video everywhere

And yeah that was the part that took the most time from me

[wild halo]

quartz, from sand?

[safe wyvern]

Quarts is pretty important if you implement Create mod in your modpack👀

Dunno if you know that

[wild halo]

when does sean get quartz from his video

i didnt watch it

[fringe ocean]

Sean gets his Quartz on the Volcano

which is possible in our pack as well.

dw about it

[safe wyvern]

Fr?

[wild halo]

and bro uses sand here?

[safe wyvern]

Is it a custom map or did you find a mod?

[wild halo]

Okay hold on

im still confused you picked a way to get quartz from sand, what

[fringe ocean]

Sean uses a pre-generated map. Very obviously generated with Tectonic.

[wild halo]

also i didnt know create uses quartz or smth

[safe wyvern]

I see👍 I just decided to get another quartz mod tho

[wild halo]

bro DID NOT answer my question

[fringe ocean]

uh... ?

[safe wyvern]

Brih

[wild halo]

wah

[safe wyvern]

What do you want

I answered pretty much

[wild halo]

you said youre getting quartz from sand

[safe wyvern]

Yes

[fringe ocean]

... just ignore each other, there's absolutely 0 point for an argument here

[wild halo]

no i dont understand the sand part

[fringe ocean]

there's nothing wrong with getting quartz from Sand altho it does not follow Sean's video

[wild halo]

no im not arguing im lowkey not following the sand part

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1297253984272121866/1350639766466723900/IMG_1886.gif

[fringe ocean]

Well it's just one of the mods that's out there that allow you to get Quartz in the overworld.

I've come across it as well.

[safe wyvern]

What is so confusing for you lol

[fringe ocean]

Decided to not use it.

[wild halo]

okay is it a recipe

or waht

not gonna lie i wouldnt mind a recipe fro quartz using diorite and smth else

[safe wyvern]

Theres a mod that gives you specific tool to pick out quartz from the sand

Kinda like how you get flint from gravel

[wild halo]

okay i got an idea, like 2 diorite and 2 something else, lets say calcite

and you have to put a hammer in the crafting table, then you can like make quartz ig

[safe wyvern]

There was a mod like that too

Would that one make more sense?

[wild halo]

i just feel like its not

[safe wyvern]

Hmmm

[wild halo]

bad

what my mind just turned off

i just feel like its not bad*

[fringe ocean]

We have a solution for the Quartz. We get it underground and on volcanoes. It's an ore, like in Sean's video.

No need for anything else.

[safe wyvern]

I could try out the diorite one👍

[safe wyvern]

Yeah that would be more accurate to seans video

[safe wyvern]

Guess you did more than just gathering mods and tweaking configs?

Looking forward to it man👍

I just felt like totally replicating the video mod doesnt need to happen, that modpack had a lot of problem too

Like fishing lagging and could not gather crops

[wild halo]

and structures like unfinished boats werent disabled

[safe wyvern]

Yea

[wild halo]

woodland mansion was seen

[safe wyvern]

LMAO really?

[wild halo]

yes

[safe wyvern]

I missed that part

[wild halo]

the unfished boats tho like ehh

just so random ahh boat in the middle of alaska

[safe wyvern]

I guess he wanted boats to be more

RAFTY

[wild halo]

he just didnt disable any structures

except maybe villages

[safe wyvern]

Disabling villages were kinda annoying in the natural generation part

[wild halo]

wdym

[fringe ocean]

intended. he forgot they were in. he never said they were left in by accident.

[fringe ocean]

yes, a woodland mansion and a pillager outpost are visible in the distance at one point

while he is on his mountain trip.

[wild halo]

yes but when striking for a truly realistic experience leaving those random boats to spawn is just nonsense and should be disabled with other structures

[safe wyvern]

When I tried to stop villages from generating the mods kinda tweak and just let them generate in the world

I found a better solution and rid of it too tho

[fringe ocean]

nonsense. those are rivers. people would've rowed boats over them at one point or another. those boats washed ashore and you can find them and fix them up.

Sean does the same thing.

[safe wyvern]

Yea I don't mind some leftover structures like that

[fringe ocean]

exactly.

Sean even shows a lighthouse at one point in one of the cutscene shots.

[wild halo]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1116944335720689677/1168291130220224625/ezgif.com-gif-maker.gif

[safe wyvern]

The pyramid and some crazy ones just needs to be controlled

[safe wyvern]

I would love a survival in a lighthouse series one too

[fringe ocean]

it's only seen in this one shot for a few seconds.

the shots he recorded of the camera staying in place, to set the mood in the video at times.

they're from his pack but they're not always completely tied into the narrative.

he has like 3 different shots showcasing the same moose lol

they're great shots tho.

[safe wyvern]

I mean for the video some managements like that needs to be done

[fringe ocean]

like... if you're playing the Alaska pack after watching Sean's video, you'd find it quite cool to come across one of those boats like that

the woodland mansion and the pillager outpost obviously need to be turned off tho.

[safe wyvern]

We gotta have the spirit too if we want to have fun like he trying to stay realistic as possible in the gameplay

[wild halo]

no id just be like, eh someone didnt pay attention to detail and didnt turn ts off

[fringe ocean]

... those boats literally are a detail

[wild halo]

thank god sugar gliders from australia are disabled

[safe wyvern]

WHAT

Sugargliders are cute

[fringe ocean]

Yes, we disabled all mobs that don't fit in with the setting.

[wild halo]

lets keep talking so i get lvl 5

[fringe ocean]

Sugar Gliders are from Australia.

[safe wyvern]

Yeah but

They cute

[fringe ocean]

and?

[safe wyvern]

😔

[fringe ocean]

"it's cute" is not a qualifier for a mob to appear

[wild halo]

https://tenor.com/view/talking-to-a-wall-gif-9702424950693960694

[fringe ocean]

there are tons of "cute" fantasy mobs

snakes are cute as well.

[safe wyvern]

Yea

Snails as well!

[fringe ocean]

they make 0 sense for the setting.

well snails are in the pack and they are not turned off; Snails do appear in Alaska

[safe wyvern]

Snakes don't make sense too?

[fringe ocean]

Alaska has no snakes.

[safe wyvern]

Huh I didn't know that one

[fringe ocean]

In fact Alaska has no reptiles other than one turtle species.

And even that is very rare.

[safe wyvern]

Alaska is a funky place

Love that tho

[fringe ocean]

We managed to get a mob selection going that is very authentic.

And includes almost all the mobs Sean features.

we have a collection of screenshots of all 40+ mobs that appear in Sean's video.

we obviously turned off the flamingos since Sean even says himself that those were left on by accident.

And shouldn't be there.

[safe wyvern]

LMAO THEM FLAMINGOS

[fringe ocean]

And he does remove them off camera in the video as well at some point.

Our pack is super authentic to the video.

[safe wyvern]

So you are kinda improving some parts from the video to make it better

Looking forward to it man 👍

[wild halo]

Remember to include this annoying thing where in order to get crops you have to mine dirt underneath

[fringe ocean]

Some things from the video that Sean clearly left on by accident (usually even saying so) we turned off, like the Flamingos.

[safe wyvern]

LMAO

I found an easy solution for that

[fringe ocean]

oh yeah, Annoy has been strawmanning that I wanna include that bit like twice now.

even tho Sean obviously says you're intended to be able to make a harvesting tool.

[wild halo]

only once publicly so it doesnt count, before

[fringe ocean]

and I said that as well.

it does. your strawman is pointless.

[safe wyvern]

You can just tweak the config file of the NoTreePunching and let the item drop with non-accurate tools too

[wild halo]

https://tenor.com/view/shia-la-beouf-clap-clapping-applause-impressed-gif-4427576

[fringe ocean]

in my view crops should be able to drop when harvested with any hoe. this is what Sean attempts prominently and says should be possible but doesn't work.

[safe wyvern]

Oh you made ir available with hoe?

Thats cool👍

[fringe ocean]

no. we haven't got there yet.

[safe wyvern]

Oh

[fringe ocean]

Annoy was too busy making his strawman argument that since I wanna be so authentic to Sean's video, I should include the things he calls bugs/unintentional.

[safe wyvern]

Lol guess its a lot of work

[wild halo]

this whole charade is just replicating a non-perfect thing and its complete bs

[fringe ocean]

Well we're obviously fixing the things that aren't as Sean intended.

[safe wyvern]

He said he's improving some parts too tho

[fringe ocean]

Annoy thinks that Sean being annoyed with Seagulls stealing his food means that seagulls stealing food in the video was left on as a feature by accident.

[wild halo]

this doesnt count

[safe wyvern]

Alex's seagulls are annoying as hell lol

[wild halo]

if they dont steal from your inventory and only from hotbar its alright

[safe wyvern]

I just think them as a part of a challenge too

[fringe ocean]

They are annoying but that's intentional. Keep an eye on them and don't let them get close and you're good.

[safe wyvern]

Yee

[fringe ocean]

Exactly. They're part of the challenge.

Like the crows stealing the crops.

[safe wyvern]

Which mod was that from?

I think normal alex's crows just steal the on the ground stuffs, not the planted ones

[fringe ocean]

I don't know. They appear to be the same crows.

We haven't altered them.

They'll be fine in their default form.

[safe wyvern]

Yeah the crow looks the same

Could be an addon mod for the Alexmobs

[fringe ocean]

Our biome selection also differs from Sean's.

[safe wyvern]

Ooh

[fringe ocean]

We have additional biomes that Sean doesn't have that very much fit the setting.

For example the Fen from Regions Unexplored.

[wild halo]

imagine

[safe wyvern]

Fen biome is chill

[wild halo]

this biome will forever be remembered as the "discord biome incident"

[safe wyvern]

Lol

[fringe ocean]

?

[safe wyvern]

Replacing biome was a pain in the ass too

Some biomes still pops up when I stop them from spawning

😔

[fringe ocean]

left side here is Fen.

[safe wyvern]

Yeah it goes along pretty well

Don't have a problem with it

[fringe ocean]

More Fen in the background here.

We also do things that Sean doesn't even remotely have but that fit the setting; the Alaskan wilderness is full of vast forests, and so forest fires would probably happen on occasion, albeit fairly localized. For this, we found a very fitting biome that we turned on and that you can come across.

[safe wyvern]

lovely

could get diverse woods too this way, this gonna be good

[wild halo]

eh i need like 60 messages for lvl 5

then i can send images and stuff in all channels

I dont know what to talk about especially because im doing something else

[fringe ocean]

There's loads of wood types and forest messages in our pack.

[wild halo]

And im sure theres a cooldown for your messages

[fringe ocean]

Maybe don't type just for the sake of reaching a rank?

[wild halo]

And for getting xp

Well we barely talk here anymore so

[fringe ocean]

This is just sad.

[safe wyvern]

😔

[wild halo]

yes i know i think you dont love me nymore

thats why we came @safe wyvern

[safe wyvern]

👀

[wild halo]

im so happy that youre having this session with uss

[safe wyvern]

👍

we can be more awesome if we hear each other out and think together

[wild halo]

okay we went off track a bit

[safe wyvern]

I like your honesty tho

no sugarcoating

tho I really think we don't have the mind the boat one

we can selectively take the mod out if we want to

[wild halo]

okay im going

[safe wyvern]

lmao

[fringe ocean]

yes. the boat mod will ship with the pack and anyone who doesn't like it can just turn it off.

same thing applies to a few other features.

[safe wyvern]

I used this config to make crops harvestable btw

trees are still none-punchable

you can change the setting in the config file of notreepunching

[fringe ocean]

I don't think Sean fails even once to start a fire instantly.

Fire Starter Chance should be 1.0

[safe wyvern]

LMAO

I also added this fire thingy that you can start fire with just two sticks

[fringe ocean]

that's too easy imo

[safe wyvern]

this one is good for quick temporary heatsource

[wild halo]

are you guys actually using white background in configs or smth

[fringe ocean]

Notepad++ has a white background by default, yes.

[safe wyvern]

when I just tweak something fast from notepad

yea

[fringe ocean]

I'm using the default look of Editor or Notepad++ depending on config.

like a normal person

[safe wyvern]

LOL

[wild halo]

gud, yes

[fringe ocean]

that's barely readable

[safe wyvern]

darkmode is neat too tho

[wild halo]

whatever that means

[safe wyvern]

i dunno if notepad has default light/dark mode

probably not

this one is my firetower 😃

[wild halo]

you know

its not even THAT bad

[safe wyvern]

and yeah I'm placing mobs manually

[wild halo]

bro what do you mean by that..

[safe wyvern]

I tried to make bears from naturalist spawn in the forest naturally

but I was too small brain for that 😔

[wild halo]

they dont spawn naturally?

surely they do

[safe wyvern]

they kinda do but barely

[wild halo]

also im pretty sure naturalist does not have a bear

[safe wyvern]

no they do have a bear that acts differently from the Alex ones

[wild halo]

send pic

[fringe ocean]

I noticed that the fire starter as described here uses one fire starter log and three fire starter kindlings ... unlike in Sean's video, where it uses something like 3 plant fiber, 3 sticks, and 3 blocks of wood? I wonder how he changed that.

[wild halo]

he didnt

he does NOT know what hes doing with the firestarter

[safe wyvern]

I really don't know I think it just needs 3 logs?

maybe he tweaked something or he just THOUGHT they needed all those

[fringe ocean]

I think he tweaked it - he doesn't use the correct items for the default config either.

[safe wyvern]

did the fire use all the thrown items up in the video?

I think it did

[fringe ocean]

it does.

[safe wyvern]

yea i was about to send the screenshot lol

[wild halo]

uhh

isnt this literally wilder nature

[safe wyvern]

when the fire is made it throws out the reserve item it doesn't use

[fringe ocean]

that is from the Naturalist website.

[safe wyvern]

so yeah I think he tweaked it

[wild halo]

bro wilder nature does not have a bear?

lolz

[safe wyvern]

they have some funky looking bear

[fringe ocean]

I know, he on occasion does toss additional items

[safe wyvern]

but not the one from the latest video of seans

I love their chunky nose lol

[wild halo]

can u show wilder nature bear

or it doesnt have one

ong i cant remember

[safe wyvern]

i gotta look it up too

guess they don't have their wiki page?

I swear tho some animal mod had crazy looking bear lol

[fringe ocean]

we found like 10 different bears from different mods

we have 3 different bears enabled iirc.

like Sean, who also has 3

we have two of the 3 Sean has

[safe wyvern]

I have Alex one and the Naturelist one

what's the other one?

[fringe ocean]

the 3rd one from Sean's video (the most dangerous one) is the one that kills him at the end

and it's a custom bear.

not a public mod.

[safe wyvern]

ooh

[wild halo]

thats why we made a better one

[safe wyvern]

lol

[wild halo]

we paid like what, 30$

[fringe ocean]

We included a different bear in it's place.

No we didn't pay for it.

[wild halo]

okay that was a lie

[safe wyvern]

still that's awesome lol

👍

I also noticed why sean placed stove prebuilt in

[wild halo]

yo

can you do weather rain and check if you can see rain through your connected glass windows

ong its bugged

unless idk

[safe wyvern]

the nopunchingtree disables the campfire recipe so we can't make them 😔

oki

you can faintly see it

[wild halo]

idk man

wdym faintly

theres nothing

[wild halo]

baha

bro its so bugged i swear

[safe wyvern]

lol I swear you can see it

[wild halo]

colored glass is the same

[safe wyvern]

it's very subtle

[wild halo]

try with normal glass

like 1 pane

[safe wyvern]

you gotta see it with the animation

this one is a normal glass pane tho?

[wild halo]

just 1

so its not connected

whatever

[safe wyvern]

you can faintly see it

[wild halo]

mmm

well personally i couldnt see like any weather through the windows

if it was connected or colored

maybe it was some other performance mod

[safe wyvern]

that's weird

i could be

[wild halo]

definitely could try on a clear instance

[safe wyvern]

or some resource packs

[wild halo]

with just colored glass or whatever idk

[safe wyvern]

I love this chicken lol

[wild halo]

uh

it looks a bit weird

what are you using

[safe wyvern]

does chicken live in alaska tho

this one

[wild halo]

dont you need like EMF ETF for this

[safe wyvern]

yea had some trouble through that lol

textures didn't render in correctly before

[fringe ocean]

"ptarmigan" is a type of chicken that appears in Alaska

so I guess it is semi realistic

they're not exactly what you would know as a chicken visually

but they're close enough that I'd say a vanilla chicken overhaul is enough to justify including them

which we have.

[safe wyvern]

noice

[fringe ocean]

I think once this pack is done we should attempt to make an Australia pack... surviving the outback. Where everything tries to kill you and it is quite warm.

but yeah, will see about that..

[tribal bison]

Not yet perfect

[tribal bison]

they are not actually chickens.

[wild halo]

okay??

[tribal bison]

ruins the experience

[wild halo]

what???

[tribal bison]

yes

jungle biomes

dont suite the artic theme

[wild halo]

no comment

[tribal bison]

"no comment" is itself a comment

mate

[safe wyvern]

can you fry them tho

👀

[tribal bison]

yes

[safe wyvern]

cook and eat em

ooh

[tribal bison]

but banned under the Us and eu law

[safe wyvern]

oh

so it's like a regualar bird?

can technically eat them but no

[tribal bison]

yes

[safe wyvern]

👍

[tribal bison]

oh wait you can eat them in freedom land

my bad

it is banned in UK

[safe wyvern]

ooh

[tribal bison]

ooh

[safe wyvern]

looks like some people hunt them and eat them in alaska!

not as much known as chicken but guess they're delicacy to some people

interesting, they kinda look like a dove

looks like somewhere between pheasant and dove and chicken

[safe wyvern]

Austrailia survival actually sounds fun lol

We can have kangaroos there

combining some mesa and savannas

this could be easier to make then alaska one!

[wild halo]

but also boring

[safe wyvern]

is it tho

what kind of dangerous hostile animals does austrailia have

guess we can have snakes and crocodiles

[wild halo]

okay made it

make

[safe wyvern]

not as impactful as bear tho

maybe one day

which video was the most fun for you

[wild halo]

id rather like extreme heat summer

or winter smth

[safe wyvern]

that one video when sean hanged out with mooses was fun too

fun but painful

by extreme heat summer you mean like a rainforest?

WE CAN HAVE MONKEYS AND GORILLAS

that actually sounds fun

[fringe ocean]

those are not jungle biomes lol

those are vanilla forests with two mods overhauling them

exactly as in Sean’s video

[fringe ocean]

and the forest fire is something you have to expect can happen near a volcano. Sean got lucky he didnt get any there. thats just down to the world gen. I still wanted to look into the possibility of limiting that with a mod tho to prevent lava from burning the forests so easily

[fringe ocean]

I don’t really care. there are no actual ptarmigans in any of the minecraft mods that add mobs that we are using, and there needs to be a way to get eggs

[fringe ocean]

and the flying squirrel things

[wild halo]

hi

[wild halo]

you know what bro

a rainforest, eh.

im thinking o flike an amazon

although its like the same terrain mostly, eh

other idea is like Siberia?

The Sahara?

with the Sahara theres definitely some field to make it hard

It could be map based, lets say a plane crash

its really not bad of an idea

i think the place would have to be really well made with bunch of cool resources

[safe wyvern]

yeah rainforest would be really interesting but it will need a lot of work to do

[wild halo]

the world gen tho

what would you put there like almsot nothing, no?

im more thinking the place crash could be coole

coole

r

omg

[safe wyvern]

lmaoo

[wild halo]

but it would really have to be made for really hard time surviving

little to now ater

[night glacier]

Congratulations Annoy!

Your Fennekin is now level 2!

[wild halo]

yk

[safe wyvern]

yoo

rainforest/amazon would be full of water tho

water would be no problem

surviving I guess we could put like anacondas and jaguar

[wild halo]

im talking sahara now

with custom structures it would be actually nice
