That’s fair, spyglass is the one that I’d say needs an “always on” exploring slot
ancient estuary
exactly, yeah. if you have nine slots and (in no particular order)
- pick
- shovel
- axe
- hoe
- sword
- food
- torch
- fireworks
- water bucket
- block of choice
- spyglass
...even if you don't need all of these, all the time, adventuring and building will still want enough of them that you end up swapping things in and out of your inventory, which might mean getting things in and out of bundles, or shulkers, or ender chests.
lapis parcel
Forgot Bow and map as well.
(Map is a bit more to-taste, but I am a big fan of bows)
ancient estuary
true! bow is huge, plus takes at least one more general inventory slot for arrows.
maybe more if you want to take advantage of special arrows
wheat helm
wait, you guys use spyglasses?
also like
in practice, 99% of the time i find that I only need uhhh
- torch
- sword (or axe if I don't have a high-enchanted sword yet)
- pickaxe
- silk touch pickaxe
- shovel
- water bucket
- building blocks
- fireworks
- food (in bedrock edition) or open slot (in java edition)
axe stays in the normal inventory because I only need it occasionally, and hoe/brush/etc is something I only ever take out of a shulker or ender chest if I actively need it, since otherwise it's just clogging up my inventory
ancient estuary
wait, you guys use spyglasses?
I'm mostly including them as a "the dev team expects people will use this tool" kind of deal

Honestly as an overland explorer, the spyglass isn’t terrible, though I often use Fabulously Optimized which comes with a zoom mod, which makes it less useful.

the Fun is in making storage systems, managing inventories, and so on

i like ae2 because you have to put forth at least some effort and while it makes sorting and storing trivial it adds in the challenge of making auto crafting systems
and you can tie it into chests, so you could still use a more vanilla sorting system and have it all accesable to the auto crafting stuff

i'd call the ender dragon solidly midgame as far as minecraft's current progression goes, if i'm being honest

Yeah, same. And people don't like fishing, which doesn't help him.
But there's definitely a possibility for the core concept (bratty child, with no clearly defined parents, who's obsessed with fishing) to be interesting. Especially since I think Red or someone said the Bride and Groom are his parents (as questionably canonical as that is). Like, that's interesting.
But Terraria is just, persistent, less mature than you'd give it credit for. And its actual "lore" (such as it is) alternates between bland and weird.

I have made a strange headcanon about Terraria Calamity lore: Azafure (the nation which in the modern day was scorched into the Brimstone Crags) invented spam.
Because, for a nation with a lot of lava and access to fish, it'd be interesting to draw a parallel with Hawai'ian cuisine with them, and they wouldn't have a ton of access to meat so they might want to preserve it when they could and/or ship it better, and something about that idea amuses me.

what do they do differently in bedrock?
wheat helm
they collect items much faster, track you a lot better when dropping things, drop items faster (a whole stack in a couple seconds, right on top of you), teleport with you when you enter the nether instead of having to lead them into the portal manually, and uh
can't break leads
the fact that java allays are capable of breaking leads you've stuck on them is crazy
ancient estuary
oh, yeah, java leads are miserable
fixing leads is probably Hard, but I have no idea why we don't have parity on the rest of it
wheat helm
yeah
so like
in bedrock, when i'm doing a bunch of digging/mining/etc with a beacon, i tend to bring 1-2 allays with me
so i don't have to go hunt down the blocks that drop
and they rapidly and accurately pick everything up.
in java they... do not do that
still enjoying my time in java for sure
ancient estuary
honestly, allays make a lot more sense to me now. if the behavior was internally tested on bedrock, then something went wrong in the java port, then I see why mojang would think they were more useful
there are only a couple of places you see people use them in java, since they have to be more convenient than, like, hopper minecart spam in a farm. mostly you just get horrifying contraptions that take advantage of how they out regen fire damage.
wheat helm
they're suuuuper convenient on bedrock
hell i sometimes stick them into farms as a supplement for hopper minecarts
to pick up stuff that gets missed
another weird bedrock vs java parity woe

I think I finally sort of understand wiring in terraria just a little bit. Devices and sensors aren't statefully "on" or "off" continuously. They just send a blip. If you want stateful memory storage, you use logic gate lamps.

The switches look like levers with an on and off state but they’re not and it irks me.
azure iris
I think that might be enough wheat
bold hazel
I think I know how to do a complicated thing with terraria wiring. Maybe. Basically, what I want is a bunch of automated lights in various rooms. If you walk into one of those rooms during the night, the lights in those rooms turn on. At dawn, all the lights turn off, and won't turn back on until the next night. I think I know how to do it, too.
Does that even make sense? Ideally I'd make them turn off on a timer, but that would be much harder.

Create is giving me conniptions right now
Trying to make a farm with the Gantry and it will just decide to stop being a contraption when the gearshift engages, but only if engaged by redstone, not if I just flip a lever
ancient estuary
That's pretty weird, the game shouldn't see a difference between red stone and levers. Got a picture?
There should be a setting on the contraption's bearing to make it stay connected when depowered. That won't help with the weirdness you're seeing, but might save some frustration while you debug
ember bay
It's a gantry contraption, so it doesn't have a configuration to not turn into blocks (but I'll check again)
The modpack is Create: Above and Beyond, which is in an earlier version, so this could have been fixed later

i envy people that can just go and do create

It's been a learning experience, as I never really did anything with it before.
I am now taking the mindset of "If I can do this with Create, I should" to get more familiar with it
Unfortunately it is giving me the horrible idea to use the rope pulley as part of an airship base, and "wouldn't it be cool if the base could move?" - The Devil
candid dock
my issue with it mostly is that most of the things it and another mod can do the other mod does either faster better easier or with less investment so i never end up building any of it and then to get to any of its unique things ends up disproportionately large investment and to a lesser degree it got over hyped imo and for a while it was all i heard about on the Minecraft front so i irrationally hate it for that
ember bay
The former is why I never did anything with it as well. It has things it specifically can do, but they tend to be more niche than other methods.
Create isn't an "optimal" mod, so sometimes it will get passed up for mods that are worse, but stronger
Sort of a constant problem of mods since you can't control how powerful someone else's mod is

i mean i know there are unofficial create addons that do fe to ke but i dont know if there are any official ones
and yes its better for the mod but its so annoying to have to have 8 different power systems

Also I've been learning the power system isn't that difficult. All that matters is
- How much Stress Capacity do you have?
- What is the RPM of your machine?
- What is its Stress Impact?
Once you figure out 2 of 3, you can determine the last

its not the difficulty of the powersystem its having to have another one

Oh, I did forget, you'd also need a Gearshift to change the rotation of the pulley, supply redstone power and it changes direction
I'm thinking with the normal Rope Pulley and not the Elevator Pulley, so that might not need a Gearshift
lapis parcel
Elevator Pulley doesn't need a gear shift, can confirm.
ember bay
I think Superglue for the Elevator Pulley is also required to build the elevator itself, but it's fairly easy to craft(?)
For the Elevator Pulley you need an elevator "car" with a Redstone Contact on the floor, Redstone Contacts on each level of the building facing in towards the elevator "car"'s contact, a Contraption Control, and the Elevator Pulley itself above the top floor
If you want to call the elevator to a floor without being on the elevator, you need a button on the Redstone Contact for that floor
Rope Pulleys are either simpler or significantly harder, depending on how many floors you have
Wireless redstone also makes it significantly easier
You could also do this with Gantries. It would be slower, more expensive, and harder to make
The only benefit is that the elevator could go sideways
... I'm suddenly wondering how you'd make a diagonal lift
ancient estuary
You can do that with flying machines, maybe use create pistons and wireless redstone links?
Oh, wait. Minecarts.
ember bay
Minecarts would work, but likely wouldn't have a stable speed.
The goal would be for the lift to be smooth and at a stable speed

the best minecraft mod is finally in beta https://youtu.be/MiVtf8_W6JI
and server sided now too
i legit cannot play minecraft without distant horizons anymore
it looks so bad with the vanilla lod
azure iris
What's distant horizons do?
I assume increase the view distance without affecting frame rate that much
meager rune
yep
it adds proper terrain lod to minecraft
so you can see thousands to tens of thousands of blocks in distance
without significant performance impact
vanilla 32 chunks distance
distant horizons
and while not flying in the air so its a more average comparison
azure iris
rancid spire
oh i was about to say whats the diffrence becajust just having a ton of render
but it adds lod
meager rune
yeah
very distant
and i do mean very distant
terrain looks like this
roughly the area in red
ignore the broken terrain, i just teleported myself real far away to show the 512 chunk radius
heres one at around the build limit
and
now that it has server side support
it will semi-live update distant chunks
so your friends could be building something a few hundred chunks away
and youd be able to see progress
DH really is my

I basically always run distant horizons, it's great
just waiting for one of the big modpacks to update to the new create version though
ember bay
Playing Permafrost modpack and I just wanted to call out that it has the strangest instance of quest progression I've seen.
The quest for getting seeds (possible through chest loot or bonemealing moss in a lush cave) is locked behind getting a backpack (8 leather). Cows don't exist (as far as I can tell) in the overworld, so your options are to hope to get lucky with the Cocoon of Caprice, find leather in dungeons (I didn't), or turn rotten flesh into leather.
5 rotten flesh makes 1 leather, so you need to hunt a ton of undead to make a backpack when the modpack feels a little combat adverse
vagrant niche
there might be non obvious ways to get it, if there's a drying rack it'll likely do rotten flesh to leather 1:1
ember bay
I can doublecheck but I'm 90% certain the only 1:1 recipe was with Eidolon, which required Enchanted Ash, which was changed to be made from Soul Crystals instead of Bonemeal. Soul Crystals come from a ritual that kills nearby undead, so technically it still isnt 1:1
It's weird more than an actual problem (though it meant I couldn't see a later quest that explained grass could be made by using seeds on dirt, so I was trying to figure out how to get grass for a bit)
vagrant niche
usually the drying rack method doesn't show up in jei is why I say it
another thing to try is also the campfire with rotten flesh
azure iris

Dang, we tried to install it and get it to work but it didn't actually increase the render distance stuff that much 😔

Might be settings? I also don't know how much it can help render distance if you're not already maxed out at... 32 chunks?

📝 Blightfall I've heard of, what's the gist of the other three?

Regrowth is that the world is a wasteland and you are regrowing everything via Agricraft and Mystical Agriculture
Chocolate Edition is RPG style and is about gathering the 12 Eyes of Ender to go to the End and win. Every 3 Eyes unlocks new things
Prominence I and II I believe are also RPG styled and seem to have more of a story

Regrowth has a lot of magic and tech mods, including Botania and Thaumcraft (I forget which).

Regrowth is also staring at plants for several hours to max out their stats
azure iris
I'm guessing that's a botania thing?
manic lodge
that's an agricraft thing
botania doesn't really do plant stats
...well, it's a modpack that's explicitly tying different sorts of progression together into a bigger whole, so botania is kind of involved, but the stat system is from agricraft.

in bedrock, the way it works is
you have a bucket

there are a lot of good options. weirdly, allay-based silverfish farms are probably the most compact.
there are a lot of farms that give good XP as a byproduct, but they're usually location-based (e.g. raid, endermen, zombie piglins, guardians) and much bigger projects

So. Modded Minecraft question - I’m tinkering with a pack of me and friends, and was wondering what people’s opinions on Create bulk blasting and smoking were. Obviously any sort of medium-large mod will trivialize parts of the base game, but something about this in particular struck me the wrong way.
ember bay
It's basically just a fast furnace
ancient estuary
a lot of automation mods basically let you trade time and space for resources. Create just does that really directly, and without making you automate bamboo or something first
ember bay
I mean you have to automate kelp
ancient estuary
depends on how big a factory you want
but to the original question: for a really resource-constrained, progression-driven pack, I could see bulk blasting working against the intended experience.
otherwise the question is just is the early grind what you're here for? or is the pack about playing in a different part of progression?
tropic parcel
imo I find factory mods a way more satisfying way to "break" the economy than the vanilla farm plugged directly into a villager trade hall
one logically and in a visually appealing way manufactures the stuff
the other is two weirdly shaped monoliths that conjure infinite creatures to put in a meatgrinder and give their remains to captive alchemists
(I'm also not a fan of the economy in most of its forms in general)

bamboo is pretty easy to automate even in vanilla
and was made easier with auto crafters
you can also make lavafarms with dripstone

clothy armor has no downsides but does have a lower cap

extremely weird now-java-from-bedrock gripe: minecarts are so loud
and that means i need to build my super smelters below or away from my base's inventory area
wheat helm
i've seen people complaining about this going back years and years
mostly
minecraft bedrock minecarts are suuuuper quiet
you basically can't hear them at all beyond a faint metal sliding noise even if you're a couple blocks away
and it's very quiet even riding them
meanwhile java minecarts are BOOMINGLY LOUD
rancid spire
theres probally a quiet minecart datapack
wheat helm
yeah probably
anyway uh

sound on
once bedrock opens for me i'll record a bedrock one
rancid spire
oh yeah they have always sounded like that, i think the beta changes they made have a diffrent sound thats louder
wheat helm
meanwhile bedrock edition
similar noise when you're right next to them (a bit quieter ig)
but if you walk away they become near-silent

I always turn down friendly mob noises (cow pens are deafening), which incidentally helps with minecart sounds

I really wish there was an easy way to find what version of a mod a modpack had without downloading it

do people want an update on the Calamity situation, or would that just be overly dwelling on it?

What calamity situation?

I would appreciate an update, yes

for reference, yesterday evening, Fabsol said some transphobic stuff, which led to a flood of other credible accusations being made against him.

The situation is unfortunate, I wonder what they'll do moving forward.

Ugh, looking at biome mods and being... unimpressed.

Debating what sort of biome generation should be in the modpack, or if I should just leave it as vanilla/geophilic.
Okay, going with nature's spirit. It's unfinished, but at least some thought was put into renewability
vagrant niche
Finding a pack that runs well, has the mods I want, and isn't made by transphobes is suprisingly hard
lapis parcel
Huh. Thoughts on Skyfactory 5 (with some limited playtime) - I hate that the most efficient way to farm dye is the same for every color. It feels like the gimmick would be a lot more interesting if the process of producing each color of dye required unique automation using more vanilla sources. The fact that "dyed water+sand" is the most efficient way by far just kind of hurts.

whats with the copper shortsword
I have a ring that allows me to turn into a mech suit [as seen by the footage], but i can still use all my summoner equipment.
As such, I need a melee weapon or something similar to activate the mech's built in weapons, such as the Copper Shortsword
it's what allows me to shoot those laser beams

does anyone else refer to the tunnels dug around the Corruption/Crimson/Hallow (and/or barriers made of incorruptible materials made of bricks) to stop the biome from spreading out of control as "firebreaks", or is that just me?

that's just you but i can fix that

I mean, that's functionally exactly what they are, except that what you're trying to halt the spread of isn't fire.

I reinstalled minecraft through prism launcher
But I dont know what modpack to use
I tend to like diverse enviroments, some more complex tool stuff. Interesting structures are good as well
lapis parcel
I've heard good things about integrated minecraft?
jade skiff
Hmm. Gonna try it but some files arent available for some reason. I hate technology
lapis parcel
Oh, that’s probably just certain mods blocking non-curseforge downloads for ad-money reasons. Just click the link prism pops up and follow along - prism will auto-add the mods once it’s in your downloads.
jade skiff
Okay! will try that later
vagrant niche
what kinda modpack do you want
if you want a kitchen sink I recommend the newest ftb one
(also has a skyblock variant)
only thing they miss are create submods but you can just add the ones you like and it'll just work
bold hazel
I have not played minecraft in years and have somehow talked myself into starting a server, maybe? Or maybe doing direct multiplayer connections? And I'm trying to remember how my friend did it and how minecraft servers work.
Does anyone have any relevant knowledge or advice?
wheat helm
yeah
couple questions to start with
are you looking to play with a small group of friends with whom you're willing to share your IP address?
or are you looking to play with a somewhat broader group
bold hazel
A few people from here, who I am ultimately willing to share my IP address with even if I should probably be more cautious.
wheat helm
alright, that makes it simpler
followup question, are you looking to do this with server-side mods (stuff that changes how the game plays, rather than just clientside ui-type stuff)?
bold hazel
I would prefer to be able to have an actual server and not a direct connection, and I remember my friend used to use one somehow which I think was free, but I don't remember any of the details (I'll have to ask them sometime probably).
