MCE2 Sneak Peek Discussion

[grizzled scaffold]

Well you'll have to wait until midnight then :)

[dreamy plover]

no sneakpeak😔

[timid pier]

3 dollair time 🤑

[dreamy plover]

SNEAKPEAK‼️

[compact spruce]

I think Adam heard you

[dreamy plover]

yes

[torn plinth]

Wtf is castle rock

[compact spruce]

It's important

[fiery jackal]

You wanted a sneak peak. You cannot be disappointed with what you got

[torn plinth]

No I'm glad for a sneak peek

Just...

Confused?

Lmao

Looks like a mining wheel thing over to the left

[fiery jackal]

I mean that's why it's called a sneak peak. There is no context until you actually play it

[uncut chasm]

Imagine castle Rock is just the name/title screen of a modpack Adam is playing and he slapped the mce logo in the bottom left.

[spring arrow]

Could be a custom mod being written for the pack

other than that i dunno, if castlerock was a pack its not on curse

it also doesnt appear to be a already existing mod

It is the name of a stephen king entry

[uncut chasm]

in all seriousness it could be an area of Howester's castle build he's doing. I stopped following his build progress because I wanted to be surprised when I find it. But I mean he's building a castle on a rock, so it seems logical 🤷‍♂️

oh also before I cut myself off from his builds. I remember him implementing some steampunk stuff into his structure. So the mining wheel kind of gives me that same steam punk vibe as well.

[lilac reef]

Does Adam pay out of pocket to outsource stuff for mce2 development? From what I've read he pays arcane pigeon for art and probably howster for the builds? Or is it money from donations?

[grizzled scaffold]

me counting my 3 dolor that i still have (i successfully predicted the sneak peek)

~~https://tenor.com/view/bugs-bunny-looney-tunes-cash-money-counting-money-gif-17544086~~ embed fail 😭

[compact spruce]

or it could be, y'know, the whole thing. if it's a castle on a rock, why would castle rock be just part of it?

[uncut chasm]

😑

I meant the screenshot could of been taken in a section of the build, and the overall build title is castle rock.

[compact spruce]

ah, okay

[dreamy plover]

how come i dont have access to the channel said in #🎨mce2-dev-sneak-peek

[fallow plinth]

what has happened to https://discord.com/channels/640591918752858122/1122991475567906978 ? 🙈

[sand lake]

I was gonna buy moonlighter with that 3 Dolor

[white willow]

can't believe he copied castle rock from rogue lineage!!!

||/j||

[flint egret]

Huh, never heard of this but the description is eerily similar.

[uncut chasm]

https://tenor.com/view/rainn-wilson-shh-secret-prank-gif-17131726

Oh wait was my guess right? The new screen shot definitely looks like howesters castle build.

[sand lake]

What is castlerock? Is it a building project? A mod? A quest?

A side modpack?

Oh it says it literally directly above it
A mega dungeon sounds sick 👀

[uncut chasm]

That wasn't there before 🧐

[compact spruce]

@flint egret was that link meant to lead to Howester's server?

[flint egret]

Yes, does it not work?

It works for me hmm

[uncut chasm]

just says #unknown for me

[fiery jackal]

it says unknown for me too. Just another staff perspective

[flint egret]

How's this

https://discord.gg/Y8BPfQDC

[fiery jackal]

That link shows up for me

[uncut chasm]

👍

[heady inlet]

too bad Alex's caves mod isn't for the same version as McE2...would be a dope addition imo

[strong mason]

just gotta wait a few decades for MCE3

[fiery jackal]

MCE3 confirmed?!

[strong mason]

MCE3 will come out sometime between now and the heat death of the universe. just gotta be patient

[ornate swallow]

mce3 logo (real)

[strong mason]

damn, i see you hired an artist better than me to make the logo

[ornate swallow]

inspirational work truly

[strong mason]

i could never match up

like looking up at a giant from the ground

[fiery jackal]

after a few decades of harsh training, i believe you can be as half as good as that logo above

[strong mason]

sadly I only have a single year of training under my belt. maybe i can condense the training by never sleeping

[compact spruce]

You can only use a link to a channel in a private server if you're in that server already, it doesn't double as an invite

[strong mason]

cue sad slide whistle noise

[cunning marsh]

Omg his builds are freakin awesome

That waterwheel house

https://tenor.com/view/magnifique-gif-13835416

[uncut chasm]

Adam is on to something here. Why make your own game series from scratch, when you can make a game series within someone else's game.

https://tenor.com/view/the-universe-tim-and-eric-mind-blown-mind-blown-meme-mind-explosion-mind-explosion-meme-gif-18002878

[dreamy plover]

still coding😔

[stark osprey]

Hey Adam, I made you a new logo for MCE 2 and it would mean a lot to see it used in the final game

[inland prism]

It's beautiful 🥹

[stark osprey]

Thank you so much, I worked really hard on it 💕

[compact spruce]

Damn, you and uber are gonna put arcanepigeon out of business fr

[stark osprey]

Me and arcane should Collab fr

[strong mason]

i am ready any time

looks better than the one i made so im sure the collab will make the best thing ever

actually, did the logo I made ever end up in sneak peeks?

[flint egret]

i dont think i revealed that yet

[strong mason]

i see

gotta wait until the relase for the big moment

only 5 more years

[flint egret]

gotta also add on 24h every time someone asks about the release

so somewhere in the ballpark of 15-80 years

[strong mason]

https://tenor.com/view/movie-one-eternity-later-gif-7900643

[sand lake]

I'm okay with waiting. I check both this channel and sneak peeks every morning (or night or like once a week) to see how the game is going.
I don't just hope for the game, I know that the wait will make the fruit that is MCE2 all the more sweet

In the meantime I will create a cult that may only wear rat robes for clothing

[strong mason]

should we get some rat onesies made?

[flint egret]

that is a brilliant idea

[cloud trellis]

yessssss

[forest vigil]

is create gonna be a mod in mce2 or is that not being disclosed atm

[midnight rose]

It’s confirmed it’s in the sneak peak

#🎨mce2-dev-sneak-peek message

[uncut chasm]

It was also in the build pack that was used for the build contest.

Truthfully I don't think you'll see many modpacks without create in it nowadays. That mod is just so good.

And it's only going to get better once create aeronautics comes out.

[river heron]

🤔 create mixed in with other tech mods? Might get overlooked

[uncut chasm]

Nah, if you like to build. Create will almost always be useful.

[compact spruce]

I think it'll be necessary for some things

[upbeat grotto]

Is there any supposed release date for mce2? I know it was ETA end of 2023 but that was awhile ago. I am so hype!

[ornate swallow]

no eta as usual

[compact spruce]

end of 2023 was more of a hope than an eta

[upbeat grotto]

Okay lol not surprised

Im excited either way the custom stuff looks goated

[tropic folio]

#1143742498808799232 message

[uncut chasm]

15-80 years + 1 day now.

[deft sluice]

release when +1 day

[fiery jackal]

+2 now

[silent imp]

According to the search function that question actually hasn't been asked enough to delay the release by a 1 year

I say we step it up and give Adam the excuse needed

Mce2 when

[uncut chasm]

Add a bot that tells you how long mce2 is delayed. And it'll increase everytime someone says the trigger words.

[white willow]

Mce2 when

[fiery jackal]

That's no possible. No computer can do that math

[silent imp]

We already have that, it's been increased by 140 days or something like that

[torn plinth]

Realistically from all the times, its been asked from searching it's only added a year by the 24 hour rule

[spring arrow]

to be fair

the longer it takes to release, the more it might have in it

also the more they might have to port it to a newer version

i mean heck, 1.21 is already in the works/about to come out (I dont actually know if the version is being pushed out soon tbh, theres just a lot in it already)

[polar dome]

Yh but the mods we want (at least the ones i want) no workie on 1.21.

And no workie on 1.20. and no workie on 1.19. well maybe 19 but i doubt well get past 1.18.2 if it does change from 1.16.5

Which i also doubt

[naive panther]

Honestly I'd rather not have too many more mods added to MCE2 if there are any delays, I'd rather have more/tighter quests than yet another way of turning ore into some flavour of dust

[dense niche]

Another bite of the dust

[wet peak]

I need to know if MCE2 will have that one mod that lets you put up paintings of any image you want if you give it a proper link, I love leaving questionable pictures in my friends house.

[quick oasis]

Could likely be wrong, but I've only seen image mods like that on 1.12 and below

[wet peak]

Sadge

[digital yacht]

MCE2 is guaranteed to be 1.16.5

[arctic mirage]

https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/waterframes

Even supports video and audio

Or sorry that one is just 1.18.2 and above

[fiery jackal]

Also mod suggestions are long over

[pastel atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/yakuza-kazuma-kiryu-pissed-off-gif-14586175

[quick oasis]

I mean with it mostly being a cosmetic thing you could just easily add one to your game, not like itll throw balance out of whack

[polar dome]

sounds like mce2 is near(i am delusional)

[fiery jackal]

i mean... that mod suggestion ended like 2 years ago...

[sand lake]

Mce2 is releasing next week (I suffer from gamblers fallacy severely)

[lilac reef]

LMAO

[midnight rose]

Do you think they are accepting late submissions 🤔

[fiery jackal]

lets say. Keeper of pets have a better chance of being correct

[spring arrow]

Sorry for ping, the camera mod is atleast at 1.19.2

[compact spruce]

that still doesn't help since mce2 is 1.16.5

[hybrid dune]

👀

Can I sell my soul to it for MCE 2 Access?

Unless Ginger Souls aren't valid currency.

[uncut chasm]

Oh boi... I'm going for a tech build style once mce2 is out. But this does make me want to go medieval vampire again. 😩

[modest notch]

ooh that looks so cool

[flint egret]

If you played MCE1, I already have it

[hybrid dune]

Well shit

[silent imp]

so THATS where its been this whole time I forgot about that contract

[white willow]

my guess is that this is for summoning mobs or bosses

[uncut chasm]

Can I sell someone else's soul for access? Firstborn, lover, close family, and the likes.

[fiery jackal]

You signed those away already

[midnight rose]

Well I was technically under 18 when I signed those so they aren’t binding

[uncut chasm]

Damn, I should of read the contract. Curse my early access buyin addiction where I don't read the fine print/ any of the contact at all.

https://tenor.com/view/crying-gif-7465142

[fiery jackal]

They aren't under feudal statute. Plus Adam isn't American

[uncut chasm]

You think demonic contacts care about what your government decides in terms of what is and isn't contractually binding.

[sly spindle]

Just DM Adam one really bad dad joke everyday until he returns the soul. No one has that kind of fortitude

[fiery jackal]

PSA don't do the above. He will just sell your soul to ikea and you will be trapped in their never ending labyrinth

[torn plinth]

cant win if you dont play!

[white willow]

90% of gambling addicts quit right before they're about to hit it big

[fiery jackal]

No

[digital yacht]

I live in Las Vegas, can confirm

[fiery jackal]

Fasle. Because anything in Vegas doesn't leave vegas

[digital yacht]

Gottem, I never even leave my house let alone the city

You're all just robots in my computer

[quick oasis]

Went to a casino once and doubled my money. Got that nice 100% success rate

[torn plinth]

Some things you get in Vegas never leave you

[digital yacht]

is the table the boss??

I'll fight some furniture

[bold forge]

table mimic

Super Mario 64 Piano moment

[fiery jackal]

you will loose becuase its instant KO attack is stubbing your small toe on it

[digital yacht]

I literally sawed the legs off my bed frame because I stubbed my toe and shattered my big toe nail on it

refinished it and it's much better

[midnight rose]

What if you sneak peaked the entire mod pack to me 🫣🤭🫣🤭

[fiery jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/ace-venture-dylan-uhhh-uh-uhh-gif-26049069

[spring arrow]

I hope this modpack has lots of secrets for me to look for

[spring arrow]

Looks like a mixture of bloodmagic and The Graveyard

Could be a boss summoner or a funny way to make a modpack akatashic tomb

Or its just a funny enchanting table

idk what else it might be

[hasty crater]

Best guess I have is a mob spawner that happens in waves (like the gateway mod) and breaks once those waves are over

[deft sluice]

I hope they have unicorns in mce2

[grizzled scaffold]

I hope they have candycorns in mce2

[deft sluice]

I predict this is coming out on February 3rd of 2023. Completely random.

It will become the birthday of the rats 🐀

[compact spruce]

Who's gonna tell them?

[deft sluice]

😶‍🌫️🤫

[uncut chasm]

[deft sluice]

Released tomorrow

[fiery jackal]

I heard it's going to release Nov 31st but shhhhhh no one heard it from me

[deft sluice]

I am telling u February 31st 2024

[fiery jackal]

You said 2023. You can't change your answer now

[deft sluice]

Fine

We stick with that date then we better wait for mce3 then🤣 my grand grand kids will 100% love it

[midnight rose]

I honestly hope it releases sometime around Christmas because that’s when I can actually play it

[dire bolt]

Yea same uni sucks

[tropic folio]

Everyone gets ||MCE2|| as a Xmas gift from Santa||(Adam)||

[inland prism]

Oh boy! I sure cant wait for christmas ||2035 at this point||

[grizzled scaffold]

You. Me. Time machine. What are we getting? Mce2 of course! UH OH. There was a virus inside of our Mce2 copy. We black out and wake up in the overworld. We're surrounded by rats. Hungry rats. You know what that means, cheese party! The stench draws in a dragon, what do we do? We're gonna fight it, bare handed, bear... Naked? We befriend the dragon after we beat it in a brawl, then we ride it into a dungeon. DANCE. DANCE. Revolution. Revolution? Overthrow the mce2 devs? UHH I THINK SO. next thing you know I'm reincarnated as Adam himself, then I turn into a rocket, fly into the sun, black out again, WAKE UP, do a quest, WHITE out(which I didn't know you could do), then I smoked a confit byaldi, YELLOWED out, then I turned into the sun, UEGH OH, looks like the food is kicking in...

Lol bro, chill ^^"

[inland ore]

imagine mce2 actually comes out for xmas

would skip many dinners xd

[dreamy plover]

minecraft over scrumptious dinner??

[deft sluice]

Wtf lmfao

Yeee let's goo we overthrowww we goo

[hybrid dune]

Magnificent!

[deft sluice]

Yes pllzz

[next flame]

i read this in the voices of the original video, and now it's stuck in my skull dangit

[grizzled scaffold]

I'm very glad to hear :)))

[paper vessel]

i mean all the presents are great, but mom the best one is there on my pc

[ocean trail]

I hope mce2 comes out in time for my friend groups yearly modpack stint during winter break

[uncut chasm]

[hybrid dune]

Adam
Why does it sound like you're making Minecraft 2?

Because the latest sneak peak sounds like a nice 8bit chill farming game's main menu

That is very epic poggies

[flint egret]

That was the vibe I was going for!! I'm really glad you like it

[uncut chasm]

Oh wow, Minecraft 2 is finally happening huh? I really like this song. The only thing I can think to give feedback wise. is the way the sound that starts it off, snare? I don't remember the name for it. Either way that initial sound, sounds a little off. I don't know if it's the sound it's self that sounds off, or if it just sounds "abrasive" vs the other sounds. (I keep listening to it over and over and hoping I can better explain my meaning, but this is the best I can do 😅 )
But I'm literally trying to nit pick because overall the song sounds great.

[vast ibex]

that music sounds too upbeat for a modpack i assume will have mid-game enemies one shotting you while you are figuring out how to do a cool dirt house (the music is good)

[digital yacht]

It reminds me of something like an arcade

[quick oasis]

My group's stint has been on pause for like last year and half because of waiting for this pack lmao. No one wants to play other packs and risk getting burnt before release

[raw comet]

Yeah music sounds a little too upbeat like it's a pack focussed purely on combat and bosses. To me MC Eternal should feel more magical

[flint egret]

that's great feedback, thank you 🙌

[flint egret]

it's the main menu music so it's supposed to be a little upbeat to get the player in the mood to start a world. In essence it's supposed to be a little intense.

[iron quest]

me vibing to the sneak peak song

[arctic mirage]

i really like the vibes of the music, however i do feel the percussion is a tad too syncopated for the rest of the piece, maybe just a slightly simpler drum track? also the drum fill at the start is a tad hard to use as a lead in for the piece

[flint egret]

Appreciate it thanks 🙏

I'll keep that in mind

[arctic mirage]

i'm glad i could help, really looking forward to this!

[rigid merlin]

i remember asking about custom music a while back, glad to see that has come into the pack

[cloud dirge]

Just a personal opinion but if the sneak peak song was 10-15% slower it would retain it's energy and not feel as rushed/intrusive

[vast ibex]

yeah it is cool, but i wonder if there will be other custom music, either for bosses from mods that lack a theme or just general stuff like dungeons and such

[cold trout]

Music sounds great, you should definitely do a teaser trailer with some music from the pack. (Ofc just whenever convenient if so)

[brave hound]

I second this, the track itself slaps but feels a bit too fast

[pastel atlas]

@flint egret I think the music needs to be a little slower

https://tenor.com/view/cat-vibing-jam-gif-18774874

[compact spruce]

yeah, the current one feels a bit fast for a minecraft title screen

[pastel atlas]

Reduces the bass a little

Perfect

[flint egret]

Ty for the reference, I actually agree!

it sounds really great slower

[prisma atlas]

Naw speed that up

[sly spindle]

I like it, it has a nice up beat sound that hypes you up to hit play

[craggy socket]

i'm in the 'would sound really great slower' camp

[flint egret]

We will make a slower version and will post for feedback when it's ready

Should I make the track be a music disc in game?

[torpid jungle]

I feel like if you started with the reverb section (0:43) the built up to everything it would flow more nicely on a loop.

I know I’m not the only one who just keep MC open sometimes when going to bed, waiting for friends to start the server, etc and I love just listening to that track. If this has a steady rise and fall it would do the same thing for me.

Really excited for MCE 2, have a lot of good memories with my friends on the first pack and I’ve been avoiding all photos about 2 just cause I want to be shocked by all the awesome work yall put in! Thanks for sharing the song ❤️

[sand lake]

mce2 breakcore titlescreen music :)

[dreamy plover]

boots and cats would also slap

[atomic lance]

Yeah i was just about to come here and say, maybe it would sound better and more like a minecraft track if slower

[cunning marsh]

[sand lake]

Tbh slowed down it still doesn't sound like minecraft but more RPG-like. A little more upbeat and adventurous.
Not a bad thing btw, very fitting for the modpack.

I think the reason it doesn't sound like minecraft is because there's just so many sounds going on, which is respectively fitting since it's not minecraft, it's minecraft 2 😊

[lament viper]

The Mob showed in the sneek peek looks like it is from the "Blood and Madness" mod

[vast ibex]

never heard of that mod, but i can confirm that it looks like a pale villager

[craggy socket]

pirate's landing: rated arrrrrr

[fiery jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/ace-ventura-chewing-eating-glare-jim-carrey-gif-17571831

[dreamy plover]

pirtats!

[civic nacelle]

re:theme music - vibe is awesome, but the drum track is a bit busy and distracts from the rest just a bit - feels like it's rushing the rest of the music almost - perhaps tuning it back ever so slightly would make the whole thing jive a little more

and maybe slowing the tempo just a tad

[midnight rose]

My quantum computer has found that December 31st 2023 will be MCE2 release date

[fiery jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/false-gif-10814314758405640492

[wet peak]

im gonna cry if Eternal 2 and Wow Classic SoD release line up

[median stone]

love the music track! sounds fantastic

[flint egret]

Alright everyone, this is a second draft of the theme featured in #🎨mce2-dev-sneak-peek feedback is most appreciated, what are your thoughts? 🎺

What has changed? 🎶

It's about 30% slower
It's twice as long
More ✨ *whimsy * ✨
It has more "magical" elements in the form of twinkle sounds
The intro has been re-made to try accompanying the slower track hopefully without losing the energy of the original
It loops better

[silent imp]

wow thats much better

[arctic mirage]

oh hell yeah that's pretty much perfect now, the slower tempo remedies the noisy drums, the wind chimes are a nice touch too

yeah that loop is spot on too

[uncut chasm]

man this is giving me cube world vibes back before it all burned down.

[brave hound]

Thanks Adam 🥹

[arctic mirage]

i will say, the team working on MCE2 is really hitting all bases with custom content, mobs, blocks, bosses, music, menu art, hell, even the quest menu is getting custom art

the structures are also something i'm looking forward too, because i (most likely) wont be just seeing a build just for it's building materials for me to dismantle, but actually a damn good build

i seriously cannot wait for this to arrive

[cinder rain]

anyone know if IE and AE will be in the modpack

immersive engeneering and applied energystics

[compact spruce]

I really like this one!

Idk why exactly but it feels kinda like something from a hat in time (except with chiptune for the melody) to me, and that's a good thing

[grizzled scaffold]

Mce2 theme draft 2 got me like🕺🪩🎶

[pastel atlas]

What software do you use to create music like that

[flint egret]

I'm not the composer! Not even nearly talented enough haha

but I can ask them if you'd like

[pastel atlas]

That would be very kind of you

[gloomy grove]

I like it a lot more now, but i still feel that in the early parts its a bit too... busy? I dont know. I think its the drum line being a bit too noisy still. My favourite part of it is definitely the latter half, mostly because its a bit less busy and the drums are muted.

Its great regardless! Sorry, dont mean to sound negative. Just wanted to give my 2 cents.

[uncut chasm]

I am curious to hear what the song would sound like without that hard "snare" sound (still don't know what it's called). I'm just curious if it would improve the song or just ruin the song.

[left scarab]

i LOVE the music

[pastel atlas]

MC eternal is a mix of fantasy with technology, in my opinion the theme could be mixed fantasy in a technological world, here is a playlist that I listen to when I'm playing mc eternal, it's just a reference @flint egret
https://youtu.be/NZTjo452C_s

[vast ibex]

WE ARE GETTING OUT OF MINECRAFT 1.12.2 WITH THIS ONE 🗣️ ❗ ❗ 🔥 🔥

[lilac reef]

love this

[craggy socket]

oh yeah, big improvement. personally I would be 100% down with a 'less energy' relaxing version but it's still much better than the first draft

[flint egret]

We can probably do an even slower version for the soundtrack

I want to give high quality versions of the full tracks as a downloadable album for Patreons

[craggy socket]

nice

[flint egret]

maybe even physical versions but I haven't really looked into that yet

Likely a digital reward

The composer, his name is Arvid and he's brilliant. Spoilers but he should be making more tracks for the OST, they just take a bit of time to put together.

We worked together on a few other projects, I'm a fan of his work personally.

[fiery jackal]

Make it into a vinyl record!

[flint egret]

very very expensive

[fiery jackal]

Yea I know... but I can dream

[craggy socket]

just save the digital file to an external drive and rename it "Vinyl Record". close enough

[dreamy plover]

How about a slider that can make the track slower or faster in the menu

[uncut chasm]

Make a go fund me, when you hit the goal. Make vinyls. (If only it was that simple)

[midnight rose]

Stop working on mce2 and just manually press the vinyls yourself

[inland prism]

Adam changes careers, finds a new passion project, MCE2 release is pushed to launch together with half life 3...now look what you've done

[pastel atlas]

If you make the music a little slower and lower the pitch to make the music a bit quieter❤️‍🔥

[fiery jackal]

makes me think of legend of zelda

mixed with terraria

[vast ibex]

yeah, somehow it makes me think it is a music that would play on the hallow biome due to the jingles

[cunning marsh]

This sounds good especially with the video added to it

[flint egret]

Yeah the visuals are actually pretty cool, what's the source

[pastel atlas]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq0669AywXY&t=41s&pp=ygUHZnV6ZWV5cw%3D%3D

[cunning marsh]

shouldnt use the cinematic as a "trailer" tho since its not actually in the pack

[flint egret]

I don't think anyone was insinuating that

I think Condizion was just doing a mock-up

[rose yoke]

Scratch that, slower is definitely the move and revision is a banger

[pastel atlas]

It was not a trailer, I just wanted to leave a cool video to match the song, who knows, maybe it's even a great idea for a supposed trailer for the new modpack

[cunning marsh]

Aah oke oke, looks and sounds good tho

[inland ore]

With friends we used to bet if GTA 6 would come out before MCE2

Apparently that's the case

Ahahah

[vast ibex]

now the thing is, will we get GTA 7 before MCE2?

or better yet, will we get hollow knight silksong before MCE2?

[flint egret]

I mean it's a trailer announcement:> it'll probably be at least a year or two before any game is available.

At the earliest.

The first GTAV trailer came out in 2011 and the game released at the end of 2013.

[vast ibex]

yeah, the trailer could be pure CGI with minimal actual gameplay aswell

[flint egret]

Yeah it's simply confirmation the game will exist. Not that it does exist.

Not that it really matters though because I'm not racing Rockstar

[silent imp]

wait if adam thinks trailer announcement means it will take a year or two before the game is released does that mean since we didnt get that for MCE2 that its still 2 years away ?

[flint egret]

no because that's what game companies do

Not what I do

we have a dev log of sorts in #🎨mce2-dev-sneak-peek

I'd feel the MCE2 first post in there served as the announcement

[silent imp]

even if you took 2 more years ill still be there ❤️

[uncut chasm]

Yeahhh... honestly Adam if you could just work at super sonic speeds and shove 10 years worth of work into mce2 within the next 2 hours. That would work too.

[strong mason]

we will get paid overtime for that right?

[pastel atlas]

I'm going to have to disagree with you, take two may even be a mercenary company to charge Premium online, but the games they launch together with rockstar are impeccable, just like @flint egret is doing mce2, I'm looking forward to GTA 6

Nah in America you have to make sure your on the clock when you get hurt, and make sure you have eye witnesses, and visible injury, and a company that's well off enough to have insurance, but not too well off or they'll just hire lawyers rather than pay your medical expenses. deep breath and you have to pass a drug and alcohol tests, and lastly you have to make sure they don't slip in a form that waives any fault of the company. Therfore allowing the company to not pay for your medical expenses. Welcome to America 🇺🇸

thankfully google pays for my insurance so my surgery is like 90% off, though with a bill of 100k+ that still aint cheap.

Almost no impact at all

[vast ibex]

667 mods looks like the average mod number a 7 year old me would put in a poorly made modpack with most mods having no integration at all, poor performance due to me only knowing optifine as a performance mod, a unbalanced mess, which would not even run because i didn't found out yet that you could change the how much ram minecraft can use, thus stuck at 2 gb of ram

[tawdry rapids]

the discord rpc mod is weird with the mod detection

a friend was using it with like 16 mods installed and it showed 100+

[dull maple]

Is this real

[dull maple]

Omw to buy more RAM

[flint egret]

at least a third are library mods that do nothing to performance and a further third are small QOL mods.

content wise - there is a similar amount of "large mods" compared to MCE1.

its impossible to gauge anything by the mod number as its constantly changing for numerous factors, so i would advise not to speculate

in 1.13+ modders start splitting up their mods into multiple mods for modularity

what if mce2 is just minecraft 1.21 🤔

[flint egret]

great idea :>

mother lore is canon in MCE2 now?

and the engagement ring item, if we assume it is from our father, then it is canon that we have divorced parents... (although this could also mean that they are married but just that specific engagement ring is a fail)

or parents that never even got married

MCE2 lore is going hard

the good thing is that we got confirmation that our mom loves us due to the description of the quest and the hearty lunch item

now for the father, we got no information on him...

[river heron]

is there gonna be a seperate menu for npc quests and regular ones?

[flint egret]

NPC quests are called world quests and do have their own menu

Slightly confusing I know but it should hopefully make sense

Thinking about rebranding them to be 'missions' to make it even more clear it's a separate thing from the quest book

What do people think?

[flint egret]

I do have plans for a father character

[vast ibex]

father is real, aint no way

[brave hound]

That's probably wise to keep them seperate. 'Mission' is also less of mouthful than 'world quest' but I am all for sticking more with the fantasy setting with 'world quest'

[vast ibex]

so we will find those npcs with missions/world quests in the custom (or not idk) structures or randomly in the world?

[flint egret]

Yes, they will be found at preexisting structures

[inland prism]

this makes my knees weak and arms heavy

[fiery jackal]

Mom's spaghetti from tinkers isn't a thing in 1.16 so it'll probably be just a renamed food item

I'm so glad to know that the coins in mce are present in mce2 they were so awesome and useful and cool and stuff

love the new track

god i check this discord everyday hoping and praying for a beta release. I am a patient man and can wait, but I am so excited for this modpack!

keep up the good work mce group

[fiery jackal]

Can't be a beta release till there is a alpha release and there's probably not going to be one. It will release when Adam feels like it good to release

[torpid jungle]

I was under the impression they already had a closed alpha for dev and high up community members. Of course it’ll be released when it’s done, I’m just stoked 💪🏼💪🏼

[fiery jackal]

nope, no such thing

The only people that have access to it, is a few devs but mainly adam

[cunning marsh]

if they had that it would probably be under a NDA so it will forever be denied until the full release comes along or a public beta

[fiery jackal]

there would be leaks, lets be honest here

[cunning marsh]

i dont think devs and high up community members would leak it tbh

[compact spruce]

last i heard, such a thing is planned, but it has not happened yet

[uncut chasm]

Adam would you use NDA's? I've never looked into the process of using them. But I've only ever assumed game develment companies to use them (specifically talking about games here, I know many other companies use them) but I haven't heard of moders using them.

[flint egret]

different legal jurisdictions and countries makes most NDA's basically unenforceable

plus i wouldn't really want to take things that seriously, i would be displeased if someone leaked something but not enough for legal action

enough to get blacklisted from any future betas or private tests though

and maybe a temp ban from the discord

plus it would require someone's full legal name and address for it to be binding and they would need to be from a country that recognizes NDA's as legitimate

i dont know many people who are comfortable giving that much personal info for access to a modpack hah

[torpid jungle]

lmfao I didn’t mean to spark such a discussion, I’m just so psyched and couldn’t contain it any longer

yall are doing a wonderful job! don’t rush it on anyone’s account, I’d rather a done release then an early release 🙂

[rose bronze]

If this isn't the father ill be sorely disappointed.

[rose bronze]

There's a whole player group in the game EVE:Online called the council of stellar management. Essentially that person is elected by the players onto the council where they act as a voice of the players to the developers, they also get some insider information, they have to sign NDAS and it's a world wide group. Some from Europe, I think one from Russia, a couple from the USA. And the game devs are based in Iceland. So ndas in games are enforceable, though not worth it for a modpack of an ip that you don't actually own. For your own game your working on though, probably enforceable with legal fines ect.

[flint egret]

well signing an NDA and enforcing an NDA are two very different things. it costs money to enforce them & to my knowledge you would need to prove they caused financial damage by sharing information but this is neither here nor there.

thats cool about Eve Online though, I did not know there was such a thing

if not with an existing task type, we can make a custom task with a script most likely

[sand lake]

Is the game gonna have minor additions made to it after release? Such as mini quests, new items, dungeons, or non main subjects? Or are you waiting for the game to be fully and comfortably complete before releasing it?

[flint egret]

yes lots to come after release

A large portion of stuff I've been working on will come after release

[sand lake]

OOoooo 👀
and may I ask what the things are that **need ** to be finished before the release of the game?

[flint egret]

Stability. Core progression and some experimental features I want done first.

Other miscellaneous stuff

But I do have a list

it would be really funny if you DMed me that list just for fun

whoops accidentally dm'd a member to-do list teehee, might delete later

[uncut chasm]

I understand the need/want to get the modpack out sooner. And I know many might not feel the same way, but I'm always on the side of waiting until something is fully done before release.

And I plan on waiting to play until it's complete.... or so I tell myself. Truthfully I have no self control so I always rely on the creators to hold it back till its finished, because I can't hold myself back. 😭

[flint egret]

I don't think there will be a 'finished' so to speak.

[inland prism]

going to take 3 days off work once it releases

[flint egret]

I want to continue making stuff for as long as I can

And even when I'm working on a new modpack I'd like to stay making stuff for MCE2.

One of the things I enjoyed the most about working on MCE1 was the continued development. This part, getting it out the door is my least favorite part

[uncut chasm]

Why is getting it out the door your least favorite?

[flint egret]

I'm not a very organized person. I like to focus on less generalized things like specific updates

That's mostly why

I'm excited to work on specific updates

That I have in mind

[uncut chasm]

That makes sense. So are you planning on doing dlc like updates?

[flint egret]

kinda yeah but smaller scale

Oh boi, this is bringing back flash backs of a debate that was sparked on this discord about whether modders should be given the option to make their mods cost money or not.

Is that person who was against it still apart of this discord? Not sure if anyone else remembers this debate or not.

[flint egret]

I don't remember

Good, nows the time to learn how to stream line your production processes so there's not a 3 year delay again 😅 though apparently 1.20 is very different from even 1.16 or 1.18 so in modpack production/coding mods

Dang near everything is having to be rewrote for 1.20, but 1.20 will probably become the new 1.16/1.12

[flint egret]

it's been two years I think, not three

but yes I will do things very differently moving forward

no, porting custom stuff to 1.20 shouldn't be too difficult

We backport from 1.18 - 1.20 kinda regularly

That's probably already guaranteed. Mce1 they gated items. and even full on disabled certain items either due to them being buggy, or they were just broken. Adam and his team are quite good at making a good modpack. So no need to worry about such things.

the only problem I've encountered with it were the horrifying textures of the stripped logs, but that's a personal problem

Hell I did 2 400 hour sp playthroughs of mce1, and probably 1500hrs on a server for it.

[signal ferry]

Can't believe nobody is talking about the music from the mermaid video. Did they put in a slowed-down version of the underwater theme from New Super Mario Bros. Wii?! Haven't heard that song in forever!

^Nice! Nintendo really puts out some bangers sometimes

[heady inlet]

A tuple is a finite list of objects. The prefix is latin if remember correctly.

[royal token]

was referring more to the sex- part

[uncut chasm]

Latin

Sex literally means 6 in Latin.

And sex came from the word sexus. But sexus doesn't have the same meaning as sex. Rather coitus is the Latin word for sexual intercourse I believe.

That's the end of my latin to English lesson, as this isn't really the channel to discuss these things in.

[strong mason]

strange discussion for sneak peek chat but ok

[fiery jackal]

It's just a latin lesson. What's so strange about that?

[strong mason]

the fact that we don't have a proper #latinlessons chat

[fiery jackal]

I think that's a great idea

[rose yoke]

I may not know a lot about Latin, but I just did my exit exam for my biology degree and the last question was essentially "what is the powerhouse of the cell" so we can all feel smart today

[fiery jackal]

Latin for nerds

[fiery jackal]

Anyone think we might see a December release? My buddy gets back from advanced training then and we were gonna play a pack before he ships out.

[fiery jackal]

there hasnt been a closed beta yet, so i doubt it

[steady wraith]

Forsure, any packs you recommend?

That got that feel of MCE

[fiery jackal]

i know ragnamod 7 is going to launch at the very latest dev 22nd

[steady wraith]

Oooo never heard of that.

Gonna look into it

[fiery jackal]

i personally play ragna mod 6 to the sky, if you like skyblocks

if you want something now, you can try e6e if you want a expert pack

[cinder rain]

no of mods is smaller now ?

wasn't it like 700+

i see its 699 now

[cinder rain]

i see thanks for the info

[atomic lance]

As i see in the sneakpeek screenshots, you're using some kind of shader. Will it be easier to use shaders with MCE2 or is that not a priority at all?

[flint egret]

yeah very easy - one is included and you can enable it with like three clicks

it still will be 'unsupported' on paper because shaders are unstable by nature

But it will more than likely be fine for a lot of people

[atomic lance]

Ah thats sick, it really makes the game so much more immersive, nowadays its harder to play without. and i remember MCE1 really didnt like shaders

[ornate swallow]

older versions in general don't like shaders since it requires optifine which we should all know is garbage by now

newer stuff like oculus you can actually work around unlike optifine being closed source and modifying a ton of random stuff that other mods may rely on to work

[pastel atlas]

There is a way to play mc eternal 2 using vr?

I have oculous quest 3

[fiery jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/crab-rave-dancing-dancing-crab-gif-16543314

[heady inlet]

I think oculus is a fork mod from iris...dunno if vr is compatible with that

[chrome sinew]

Unsure if this has been answered or hinted at yet, but will mce2 have similar progression to mce1? I enjoyed feeling so underpowered at first and everything one shotting and then spending a lengthy grind to get to the moon and then feeling very powerful and I was wondering if it would be similar ish

[placid heart]

I refuse to play Minecraft until MCE2 comes out.

[grizzled scaffold]

a question i have is will mce2 have a voice chat mod? that would be cool

[ornate swallow]

you can look in the other forum post to see what mods the community has proof of being in the pack, but otherwise it's all just speculation for you guys

we had a voice chat mod in mce1 but it absolutely ruined performance for people with AMD systems so we removed it

it's a pretty niche thing to include and doesn't really have a purpose outside of if you're gonna do something silly like rp in a server with others, for most who will likely just play single player or with people through discord it's bloat and imo not really worth adding to the base pack

[flint egret]

I wish Curseforge had the option for pack developers to mark certain mods as optional and let the player decide for small things like that and client mods

[rose bronze]

One of the first "modpacks" I ever played, kovakicks modpack. Had something like that. This was well before the days of questlines or progression through a modpack. More like, addon to vanilla mc

[strong mason]

I always just add my own client side mods before i start a pack, keep them in a folder organized by version on my desktop.

[digital yacht]

woah woah, organization? In this economy?

[atomic lance]

Do they listen to suggestions? i mean somebody has to be the first to do a thing

[uncut chasm]

What kind of client mods do you use?

[atomic lance]

Important question, i know you arent gonna say all of them, but. Will the rats mod survive the great change and join us in 1.16?

[heady inlet]

What would McE be without rats

[craggy socket]

i would be very surprised if it didn't, given reasons

[heady inlet]

Rats rule

[uncut chasm]

To bad the rats mod isn't very stable in 1.16 (I think I'm thinking of the right version)

[cobalt monolith]

Adam, will you also release the pack on modrinth?

[flint egret]

I don't think it's possible because many mods aren't on Modrinth

[royal token]

Will there be.... rat ingot?

Tools made from coalesced rat?

[flint egret]

If all goes to plan

[rose bronze]

Compressed rat ingots 🤣 100 rats = 1 ingot, it's an upgrade to netherite with a smiting template that you get from rare structures in ratlantis or one of the rat bosses.

[digital yacht]

I don't think smithing templates are in 1.16 unless futureMC adds those now. Last time I did a 1.16 pack it didn't have them though

[lyric cypress]

hypothetically speaking of course, what would be the criteria

unless i assume thats staying secret

[fiery jackal]

the pack has to be ready first

[cunning marsh]

GTA5 didnt come out on pc till 2 years after release on console

might be the same with GTA6

Gta v and 4 both had 2 year delays. I highly suspect gta 6 will follow suit and be delayed until 2027. So no mce2 until atleast 2028.

this is awkward - i had an item in mce2, a party hat with a message that said "happy 3rd birthday mce!", i guess when i made that i assumed it would be out before the 4th birthday...
