please read this

[rose fern]

thanks!

[wintry smelt]

oh sry...😬

[flint egret]

all good!

[polar dome]

what is the reason for Baby zombies spawning every time i die?

[silent trail]

Idea for a material for the crafting of the gateway: an enchanted book (reasoning being the gateway is magical, and usually people get the obby for an enchantment table at the same time as for the portal)

[mild basin]

should we expect an adjustment to mekanism's energy usage in a later update?

[flint egret]

yes

[mild basin]

assuming it won't be in the next couple updates at the very lesat

[flint egret]

next update

[mild basin]

oh, that's awesome then

[tiny field]

I hope you can forgive me for reporting it here. But if you add a rat to a cage with a rat wheel, then it will start generating Energy. And if you release the rat, the wheel will keep making energy.

[rose fern]

Hi @flint egret are you aware if the raids are bugged?

[flint egret]

yes

it should be fixed in the unreleased newest version

[rose fern]

the cartographer sells different maps now right? Or still a chance he can sell woodland mansion maps?

[golden perch]

Is there a reasom why villagers refuse to trade with me (I do not have the crime debuff)

[flint egret]

gotta update

[golden perch]

Its already on version 1.0.4

I can give them jobs now

[rose fern]

are you a vampire?

[golden perch]

But they just refuse to trade, or is there now a newer version?

I am not, no

[rose fern]

possitive allignment?

[golden perch]

I am not sure what this means

https://i.gyazo.com/121f2a06df0c9bd59381c58f6eacc239.mp4

[broken dew]

Yo @/adam are we getting this sick ass mod called enigmatic legacy in the next update

https://tenor.com/view/biden-dance-stare-clueless-gif-7881725227341402421

[uncut wing]

When you are holding an emerald does it say at least neutral? Because… it’s the thief mod.

[golden perch]

It says distrusted

How can I fix that

@uncut wing

[uncut wing]

Give them emeralds by holding them and shift clicking. It’s a huge pain.

[golden perch]

Oh, I see thanks a lot ❤️

[uncut wing]

Sure.

There is a whole host of things that affect your standing that you don’t even think about normally.

[golden perch]

Is there some kind of overview or site you would recommend to check up on that?

Or is it on a you need to know basis

[uncut wing]

Like opening containers, breaking job blocks, harvesting crops, killing mobs

[golden perch]

breaking job blocks? thats really painful

[uncut wing]

List of crimes:

Block breaking:

Light: Crops, Hay Bale, Lantern, Campfire.
Medium: Chests, Barrels, Job-site blocks, Beds.
Heavy: Bell.
Block interaction:

Medium: Chests, Barrels.
Killing:

Medium: Pig, Sheep, Cow, Chicken, Cat, Horse, Donkey, Mule, LLama.
Beds:

Light: kicking the Villager out of their bed.
Medium: sleeping in a bed that is claimed by a Villager.

[golden perch]

Thanks a lot for the thorought infos

[uncut wing]

I really…. Really… don’t like dealing with that mod

Yeah no worries any time.

[flint egret]

i made the detection radius of crimes way lower

hopefully will help

[uncut wing]

Oh sweet!

I just don’t do anything around them. It’s annoying but was necessary in the early versions.

[golden perch]

nice

[flint egret]

i also made them unable to see through walls

[uncut wing]

If you build a little block house around containers you can open them like you do in bastions to avoid irritating the piglins.

Ah! That’s huge.

But the crops thing is just rude of the mod and I don’t think there is any way around it. Just farm at your base and feed them relentlessly.

You’ll have to wait on the trades to get what you want or give them boat loads of emeralds. It’s a big crime

And guards are no joke.

If you need to kill the passive mobs you can work around it by setting them on fire with a lava bucket.

Oh… huh… I bet you can work around the crops with a water bucket actually.

[prisma atlas]

You’re a legend for this

[pure tundra]

the frustration is taking me, I tested it extensively and it seems that a couple mobs from raids don't actually spawn, making it impossible to progress waves. crocofang and igniter, both from the same mod?

[flint egret]

it should be fixed next update

i think it was related to no hostiles around campfire mod

preventing spawns

[pure tundra]

oh you're a gem. after 2 failed raidfarm attempts I created a big flat area in the sky and made sure to give it an extra 5 room of unspawnable blocks and it worked fine until....wave 2

when do you think that update will drop roughly? or if it'll be some time maybe there is a local fix on my server I can do?

[silent trail]

Do Soul campfires burn out like regular ones do?

[pure tundra]

seems they are all from the same mod

[daring parrot]

I remember trying to spawn a creeper near my base to see if I figured out the mob griefing rules and was so confused when it just despawned instantly

The more u know

[pure tundra]

there are no campfires used on the platform

I know it's beautiful this is iteration number 3 after I thought I am slowly going insane because they kept not working

would you be able to say when the next update iteration is going to be?

[flint egret]

hopefully today maybe tomorrow

[pure tundra]

you're a gem. I hope my findings help

this is the first time interacting with villager mechanics but unless I am actually going schizo something is not working

[flint egret]

someone reported on the github that the campfires have a bugged range that is crazy high

and because they spawn in villages

it bugs raids

so lets see if thats the case

try remove the mod and report back if you want

[median stone]

as much of a hater i was of better combat, the tweaks you made to the mod and other weapons actually makes it kinda fun

still iffy and im sure i would love the vanilla style too, but i cant say im not enjoying it

[pure tundra]

this platform is above the ocean no other villages (or campfires) within 1000 blocks

another smaller thing might be that skillcloaks seem a bit overtuned, for example being able to disenchant without cost or cooldown

[pure tundra]

@flint egret I am sorry I do not have a github account yet that bug is actually in the documentation of the mod

[pure tundra]

ohnoes, editing the config file to remove those mobs from raids does work.....but now the same happens with the mob "wind witch". it seems raids need some looking into

some mobs dont spawn, only specific ones, but they show up as raiders and crash the raid, making it incompleteable

[broken dew]

better combat is a simple and amazing mod that should 100% be in the pack grrr

tbh tho I get why ppl dont like it

[wary zodiac]

I wonder if using a piston can circumvent breaking their job block to get a new trade

or are the villagers really that smart

[pure tundra]

we had to remove special mobs/witches and illage and pillage config entries to stop them spawning in raids as a bandage fix. not sure how that interacts with other mobs. but as far as illage and pillage goes they have it in their documentation that its not server compatible

[dusk crow]

anyone else lag when putting stuff into a crafting table. like when you use the same material and you hold to place equal in each spot

[digital yacht]

It's the animations in the inventory screen more than likely

[uncut wing]

Oooh good idea.

[gritty badger]

why you are after me what did i doo ...

[topaz geyser]

Is there anything like the buildcraft quarry in mce2? I know there's mekanism but that's a little further down the line than the quarry lol

[bold forge]

i think alex caves has something really similar as the culmination of the magnetic caves

[topaz geyser]

:D

[topaz geyser]

Speaking of Alex caves (and mods that add dinosaurs) I think fossils and archeology is working on a 1.20.1 update, so I may eventually be reunited with my feathery sons after all

[untold pilot]

Any plans to add other chunkloading options than ftb claims? As I personally don't trust ftb chunkloading after it played poorly with a few create contraptions in previous modpacks and nearly crashed my servers due to item entity overloads

[patent pendant]

FTB Chunkloading only works when somebody on your team is online. This can be changed in the config. This is the likely reason you get buggy results on persistent servers.

I think Minecolonies chunk loads, and AE2 has a power- demanding chunk loader.

[untold pilot]

huh, AE2 does have one now, I didn't realize that

yeah but the issue I had with ftb's solution somehow managed get the chunk loaded in such a way that it processed the blocks but not the entities, so my cobble farm that had a slight gap between breaking the cobble and it falling onto a belt resulted in thousands of item entities accumulating overnight
Never sure if they fixed that, but I always tried to use different options after that

[vale vault]

I love the variety of moons but o.O

TIME TO BE IN DANGER WOOOO

[dense totem]

Has anyone else crashed to the main menu when using the Ars Storage Lectern?

[gritty badger]

i got from a quest reward chest nothing

it was empty 🙂

[vale vault]

the rat stole your cheese reward

[gritty badger]

daam rat

[vale vault]

why am i awake its 4 am

gn

[gritty badger]

you signed a contract you need to be :))

[bitter willow]

is feedback supposed to be given in the issues section on Github?

[rose fern]

is it just with campfires? I have trouble spawning anything in my base

@flint egret for the better combat pole, would it be possible to toggle it? I like it but some items act strangely. Like the earthend gauntlet

[rose fern]

Tried this as well. the campfires is one issue and everytime I get the igniter and crocofang it also breaks

[flint egret]

im going to disable them from spawning in raids i think

[pure tundra]

ya that's our bandage fix for the server too

[rose fern]

trying to spawn them with a spawnegg also doesnt work

[pure tundra]

advanced mobs: witches

also do not spawn in raids

[rose fern]

wonder why

[flint egret]

i know why that one doesn't work

they are banned until expert mode

[rose fern]

that makes sense

[flint egret]

igniter and crocofang gotta go though

[rose fern]

so the villages i spawned raids in will just be broken forever I imagine

or is there a way to shut down raids

[vale vault]

I may be mistaken but I thought that if every villager dies in the raid it’s considered a loss, so best thing may be getting some villagers in boats or Minecarts and moving them outside the bounds of their village and then brutally slaughtering peacefully ending the lives of the rest of them there, wait till it finishes ‘ending’ and force repopulate them

Also sorry for ping reply

If you don’t want to murder all your friends in the village also maybe breaking the bell, all beds and doors and trying to force the ‘village’ to not exist anymore? But I’d go with the literal villager genocide first option

plus you could get some eyes as a snack if you use a knife

[uncut wing]

Don’t raids just timeout on their own?

No need to depopulate.

[mild basin]

how do i make pyrotheum in the smeltery...? the tank won't allow blazing blood to be inserted

[flint egret]

it will be fixed today

[mild basin]

someone on the server i'm playing on was able to somehow make activated chromatic steel, which requires a blend of multiple things and one of those need a temp higher than blazing blood so i'm kinda confused on they did it

[viscid basin]

someone knows on what y osmium spawns?

[mild basin]

you can't find osmium in the overworld if that's what you're asking

[viscid basin]

thats not true, someone found a big vain in overworld

but i wanna know on what y

[vale vault]

90% sure it’s a bug if it’s overworld it shouuuuuuuuuuld supposedly be gated for great below if I’m not mistaken

Shouldn’t be that deep of y in the dimension, should pretty much be everywhere

[flint egret]

its bug that has been fixed

[viscid basin]

ayooooo lol

lucky for that guy then haha

how to get to great below

[mild basin]

found a workaround....scorched alloyer with ingot tanks

[dusk crow]

you can plant sugarcane on waterlogged Earthen clay. idk maybe someone could use this

[median field]

Adam there is a duplicates in the enchanted books, with soul bound having 3 different versions in the game.

[frozen dome]

probably same issue as in MCE1

I think it had 4 or even 5

so many mods adding the same ability with the same name

same issue with 10 mods adding copper (well originally when that first happened to Minecraft in general, many many years ago, but that issue has been more or less solved in modern packs I think)

[median field]

yeah there is one from corail tombstone, as well as ender io and ars

[median field]

copper is used from base minecraft now so you dont have that issue any more xD

[frozen dome]

yeah, that was an example, I could have used lead, uranium or whatever as well

but that's "relatively" easy to unify nowadays, like I said, solved problem

for enchantments probably harder, because sometimes they have small differences in how they work exactly or I think only the enderIO variant works on enderIO gear (from what I recall from MCE1)

[dusk crow]

am i missing something? why don't unemployed villagers turn into librarians when next to a lectern

[flint egret]

update

will fix that

[hybrid path]

Will the magic skill tree make a return in this one or still on hold?

[fiery birch]

Adam out here working like a lunatic to get all these bug fixes and updates done. The dedication is something to be applauded.

[zealous lantern]

Saw this typo on the loading screen

[fiery jackal]

that is correct. good luck

https://tenor.com/view/jack-nicholson-agree-evil-smile-gif-14416285

[silent trail]

&eThe Great Below is such a good dimmension

[mild basin]

It's cool but I'd like to see some forced interaction between the player and the main mechanic of the dimension... I can go to the lowest Y level and collect ores using spectral hammer as long as I want just about

I've said this before but in MCE1, the player was FORCED to interact with the dimension there for osmium and other resources because you needed light sources to go deeper, as for here there's nothing except the danger of setting off shriekers which can be avoided very easily by using ars's projectile magelight spell combo, and the best part is in most cases, I've noticed that ars projectiles don't make actual noise for sensors to pick up

(Also the break spell doesn't cause actual noise either)

[flint egret]

i want to do a darkness mechanic

its just hard

i will work on the dim more and stuff

[mild basin]

I do admit it's a cool theme and such but kinda lacking

Appreciate the work as always in the end!

[sharp crystal]

Hey @flint egret what furniture/decoration mods are included in the pack? I looked through the mod list butI’m not very familiar with mod titles

[broken dew]

Genuinely surprised there is no tag for super strong things like “unique” or smth so people know

I usually go out of my way to collect those kind of items and it makes for an easy quest to collect them all

[vale vault]

collect every type of rat upgrade and/or have on of each kind of rat

[small flare]

I remember when I was telling friends about how great mce was mod compatability was because you could use the same ore type from most mods and wouldn't run into something where "x" wont smelt in "y"

Im not sure if that was a lot of adam/the staffs doing but if it was 👌👌👌 Thank. You.

Speaking of that though i have noticed that you cant make Brass int he EnderIO Alloy smelter, but you can make it in the Tinkerers Smeltery was that intended, or another bug?

I had assumed it was intended for the primitive alloy smelter from since it's easy to get to but then I saw you cant do it with the upgraded smelter either.

[heavy steeple]

Kudos to Adam for the responsiveness. Kinda nuts to me how quick things are getting addressed. I'd love to see how he's organizing things. Seems like he's been going pretty non stop. I and am sure most everyone else appreciates it!

[broken dew]

He wont tell you this but he has 2.5 million rats working all the time
Mce2 really is powered by rats

[mild basin]

i'd love to have a zoom mod by default...having to add one in each update isn't hard but kinda annoying

[fiery birch]

i just killed a dragon (my first and a stage 3) and the loot was iron ingots and such, anyone find anything good from them?

[digital yacht]

That sounds typical of an above ground nest from other mod packs I've played

[fiery birch]

has anyone beat the ||lich||? i cant hit him for shit....and the heath regen makes any hits meaningless

[fiery birch]

gotcha cool, loot expectations is warped from MCE1

[flint egret]

im gonna buff their loot now

add some dragon scales or something

[mild basin]

i'll give you a hint, use gliders with ars leap spell

[fiery birch]

i have never used magic, so time to look into how ars works!

[mild basin]

ars is really fun, although it's more utility

you CAN do combat but it's....really weak

magic overall is lacking power in this pack, especially late game and even mid game

[mild basin]

what's preventing me from shift clicking bulk items from my inventory into a storage?

[fiery birch]

is the warden supposed to be indestructable in the overworld?

[daring parrot]

I think so

He just doesn't take DMG which I have mixed feelings about

I don't feel like anything should be unkillable

[polar dome]

Arent there nice mods for irons spells that would help? Like irons spells x Cataclysm

I think they would be a nice addition

[mild basin]

it was a design choice by adam but there's ways to completely ignore the wardens........

[wary zodiac]

This was so annoying 🫠

I still have no clue

[rose fern]

Hi @flint egret I noticed the nether eye was a loot drop. Not sure if it was intended

[fiery birch]

I thought that the warden was only unkillable in the great below. But I will avoid now in the overworld

[pure tundra]

a gyrocopter with a bow feels very WW1

ok so bounty boards seem hilariously broken but what we also noticed is skillcloaks seem to be in the same category. disenchanting is incredibly powerful and being able to do so without any cost or penalty through the magic cloak is pretty hmpf

...and vilager zombification to cheese trades is just a bad mechanic

[neat granite]

i agree there should be a bit more to getting disenchanting other than trade with villager-> get cloak, but at the same time having more options than just using the corails disenchanting is needed. there needs to be a more middle ground between the two time/effort wise.

[gritty badger]

what experience storage we have for early start ?

[prisma atlas]

I truly feel that Better Combat is a hindrance and hope that it’s removed. It seems like the vote is close to 50/50 which means a mixed opinion.

Even if the vote is in favor of it by a small margin it should be considered for removal

[pure tundra]

what's considered bad about it? I like it!

[prisma atlas]

It has its ups and downs, but like Adam said, it’s janky

A lot of mobs can also hit you through walls and 1 block openings even if you’re hitting their feet which turns it into a hit, step back, hit, step back simulator for most encounters.

Personally, I was going to go the ranged route to completely avoid it.

[gleaming torrent]

This is my only gripe with the mod, Most mob feel like they have either the same or barely less melee range than you and it makes cqc feel bad.

[prisma atlas]

Yep exactly. It happens with every mob and is especially prevalent with Cursed Armor from chests. I have to step back constantly even with a spear, because their range with a sword matches mine despite the extra reach distance I (supposedly) have.

[frozen dome]

Is currently depending anything on it or can we relatively safely remove it ourselves?

[prisma atlas]

I’m not sure

But honestly, if the vote is split I’d suggest removing it, because it’s really not worth it.

[flint egret]

It's the sort of mod that I would include as optional if curseforge supported that

It's a shame they don't

IE: x mod is "optional" on the mod manifest and upon install you are promoted with the option

[prisma atlas]

Yeah that’s a shame and crazy you can’t do that

[flint egret]

I know. It would be my dream feature to be implemented

[nova echo]

I like it for the autoswing. Also I'm not sure if this is true for all tools, but when my tinkers axe broke, it still counted as a better combat weapon and did a sweeping attack at an extremely impressive rate, albeit with like half a heart of damage per swing, but the group knockback was useful.

[zealous lantern]

I really only like better combat for being able to swing and hit multiple mobs much easier

[rose fern]

I didnt expect the nether gauntlet to one shot my 160hp rat

with his laser

[wide jacinth]

Is it possible to have better combat as a toggle?

[torpid trail]

Late reply, but better combat is the saving grace on this modpack, just wish we had simply swords for more weapon variety without having to go hard into tinkers.

[mild basin]

i was hoping for mekanism pipes to be fixed honestly....relogging bugs them out and makes it look like they're disconnected

[torpid trail]

Then again, I'm dual wielding with high attack speed.

[mild basin]

removing better combat isn't the best idea imo

[flint egret]

im not gonna remove it

i was just looking for user feedback

i would remove it if it was 90% against

im gonna simply make it better instead

[mild basin]

sounds interesting

[rose fern]

Hi @flint egret I think the blade of eternal torment quest doesnt work

[flint egret]

i've already done a lot of work making it support as many modded weapons as it does

but there are some misc changes i would like to do

such as non weapon offhands being hidden while you attack

the shield or torch going all around the screen while attacking is my least favourite part

[flint egret]

oh! as in you cannot complete it?

[rose fern]

I have the sword but doesnt complete yeah

I found its a little different when getting it from the trader

In the quest it says fire aspect 2 but I have 3

Might be whats causing it

[flint egret]

ah hah

yes

that is the problem

i will fix next update ty

[rose fern]

np

[tight pawn]

Simply swords using an ai generated documentation book 🤮 miss me

[vale vault]

Might be miss remembering but I swear there was a modpack that had the better combat mod and if you held a torch in off hand it would swing the torch and set enemies on fire, or also adding sharpness to shields would deal damage when you are swinging the sword, (idk fav feature of that mod is dual wielding and this incentivizes keeping a shield or even a torch in offhand lmao for tradeoffs)

[flint egret]

it wouldn't prevent you from using the items in your off hand

im just saying unless they are actively in use they should be hidden while attacking

because it looks awful imo

[cinder plume]

Because of Better Combat, I keep accidentally murdering my stock keepers with my pickaxe while trying to pick up blocks near them if I'm just slightly at the wrong range 😦

Is there a way to turn it off for specific items/tools?

[sharp crystal]

Yeah I hate that I can’t break blocks with my axe. I tried breaking my goblin trader enclosure to move him and I ended up murdering him with a swing

[flint egret]

im going to make that happen less

i can configure it to be better at detecting what to mine and what to attack

[cinder plume]

It's been pretty bad with breaking non-blocks like torches too.

[flint egret]

i can make stuff like torches break pretty easily i think

[meager surge]

Honestly man i miss nihilite in mce2 ;<

Or the kikoku

[tiny field]

Any one know how to see all the custom Tips adam added in the pause menu? Im a slow reader and ive seen a few that seem nice to know, but i dunno cause i didnt get to read them >.<

[fiery birch]

wait how did you make a goblin trader encloser? You have my undivided attention...

[flint egret]

modpack -> kubejs -> assets -> tips

[tiny field]

thank you sooo much! ive been look all over. But i do not understand how mod folder works xD......

[golden perch]

Am I misunderstanding sth or why dont I get the boosts of the divine armor such as the 20 max health?

[frozen dome]

green ist lying

ignore green text

afaik green are the total values of your character or something

[golden perch]

Oh, that sucks it was the reason I even bothered making the armor

[bold forge]

the base values, yes

i think it's actually the values after merging with the equipment's

[golden perch]

Well, thank you very much for claryfying it

[bold forge]

but it's just base + gear at that point

[golden perch]

mhm, guess I will need to find a better early game armor then, any suggestions?

[mild basin]

doesn't bettercombat have a toggle between mining and attacking...?

[rose fern]

Hi @flint egret I noticed that you cant interact with your own pets in someones claimed area. Very annoying when you hop of your dragon and no way back home, is there something that can be done about that?

[mild basin]

use a dragon summoning crystal

[torpid trail]

Just don't use it then

[tight pawn]

or simply we dont include it in the pack :>

[torpid trail]

Yeah less options always better

[topaz geyser]

Less slop is better yes

[rose fern]

its not jsut the dragon, I think same with opening a door

[mild basin]

haven't seen a single simply sword so i didn't even know they were in the pack 😭

[mild basin]

why should you be able to open someone else's door

[rose fern]

v isiting. Or leaving after tp

why shouldnt I be able to open a door?

[digital yacht]

if it is claimed by another player? Because they don't want you in their house probably. If they add you as an ally to their team, you can use stuff as normal

[mild basin]

What's next that you want to open as a stranger? Their chests?

[cinder plume]

If it does I have no idea, this is my first time using it. I'll have to do some research

[mild basin]

i'm 90% sure there's a keybind

but no one uses it

i'd wager the people who have issues with mining near entities i guarantee don't know about the one single keybind
correct me if i'm wrong about that though

[cinder plume]

If there is that's exactly what I'm looking for ha. I'll look tonight

[quasi wadi]

how much harder does the game get after entering the nether in mce2

woops wrong text channel

[broken dew]

can porkus' first words be chicken jockey

[hybrid path]

With dragons being more rare and farther apart would adding the mod where you can make dragon eyes that work like ender eyes do to fortresses be a good idea for the pack?

[flint egret]

they are more common now!

[mild basin]

i'm ngl, i never used this either but i've only had a few cases where i accidentally attacked a villager or something while trying to break blocks

[gleaming torrent]

@flint egret While your still around I wanted to get your first impressions.

[flint egret]

holy shit

looks great

outstanding job so far, seriously

[gleaming torrent]

You tease, Ty.

[flint egret]

cape already unlocked at this rate

[gleaming torrent]

LOL

[daring parrot]

I think one thing you should add is that Silk Touch does not work on Flawless Budding Quartz and will degrade it

[mild basin]

while we're on the topic of quests... is there already a questline for ars nouveau in the works??

[flint egret]

not currently

i know next to nothing about it

[mild basin]

🤔

i know quite a bit about ars.....

i know next to nothing about designing

[gleaming torrent]

I totally fogot the Silk Touch works on the non-Fawless Budding

[flint egret]

well if you want a special cape

https://github.com/adam9899/MC-Eternal-2/wiki/Quest-Contributions

[mild basin]

https://tenor.com/view/ted-lasso-tedlassogifs-jason-sudeikis-1x02-hold-my-beer-gif-20724542

i know how to make quests, i just don't know how to do all the design stuff 😭

[flint egret]

I can always decorate later

[mild basin]

fair enough

off to spend my weekend making ars quests

love the mod, super underrated

[flint egret]

It looks cool I just haven't had the time to properly look into it enough to do a quest chapter justice

So if your passionate about it, hell yea

[mild basin]

hell yea brother

adam, was the method to obtain a novice spell book reverted back to default?

thought it was a special way before but i guess it was changed back to combining iron tools with a book...

[flint egret]

I reverted it because people kept complaining and not understanding it

Wasn't worth the hassle..

[mild basin]

fair enough, i was confused at first as well until i looked at JEI again

[fiery birch]

is there nether portal corruption in the pack?

[mild basin]

same as MCE1, yes but it uses different blocks of course

[fiery birch]

crying obsidian is said to stop corruption but i never got the red text about corruption. would 4 peices stop the corruption?

also ty for the response

[mild basin]

don't remember what i used but there's 2 different blocks to use iirc

[misty ingot]

it says my katana can be "imbued" how does one do that

[teal cedar]

are biomancy tools worth getting and using over botaina

[vale vault]

I say just use both so you can get quest rewards later

its an ✨ investment✨

(stonks gif here since i dont have per- WAIT A SECOND)

[thick sky]

I did not noticed any corruption after i went to the nether...which was like 4 days ago...
So i don't think there's any

[fiery birch]

cool i added crying obs. just in case

[mild basin]

Adam may have removed it, because on the first playable update for our server, i had to place certain blocks around the portal like MCE1

[rose fern]

Hi @flint egret I noticed the hellish gateway keeps failing as soon as the entities spawn

other gateways have a similar issue although they dont always fail on wave 1. Maybe when a weird type of mob spwans the mod doesnt expect?

like sniper wither

[flint egret]

Nope shouldn't be the case

Are you at spawn?

Or in claimed chunks

[polar dome]

Could anyone tell me why the heck 2 zombies in way too Overpowered Gear spawn everytime i die?

and also why THEY STACK?!?!?!?!?!=?

[rose fern]

neither, tried it all over the world the same result each time

also tried it in the nether in case that was the case

[unreal belfry]

Yea same issue even in full blazing nether-rite gear with 80% melee protection i get DESTROYED by the big zombies/skeles and fire zombies (went to the nether)

[flint egret]

I've seen some people say that too

But it just doesn't happen to me or others

So it's very weird

Do you have the no hostiles around campfire mod currently installed?

[rose fern]

no

[flint egret]

You playing on a server?

[rose fern]

yes

[flint egret]

Does the server have it

It's a relic from a previous version

[rose fern]

I would need to check the server files later. I dont have acces

[flint egret]

So please check

Oki

[rose fern]

Also it seems when I go to the nether all rats that arent on stay will come with. Even if they arent on follow

[small flare]

As a general question, is anyone else having some trouble finding the other Magic mobs/ Structures from Iron's spellbooks? I've seen plenty of Necromancers and a few priests 1 Archevoker but not Pyros

[misty ingot]

I’ve been having clones of me spawn and basically one shot me when I don’t even do that much damage 😔 and they have over double my health

[polar dome]

Same man

and they just multiply everytime i die

[misty ingot]

Yeah it’s wild and I had zombies stealing my armor lmao

[polar dome]

damn, i didnt have that tho

[pastel atlas]

Finally i am back(not entirely back, but i am :D)

Any server hosting at moment?

[mild basin]

probably a few, there's a server that i play on though

[midnight rose]

After playing for a little bit will removing better combat impact anything else I absolutely hate it

[vale vault]

I mean the combat will no longer be better but otherwise no idea

[mild basin]

why do you hate it?

if someone is going to submit quests for MCE2....how should the quest rewards be done?

[flint egret]

leave it blank

good thing for me to put in the faq actually

[mild basin]

sounds good

[flint egret]

just added
Quest Rewards? You can leave them blank and I can populate their rewards, if you do want to add rewards though keep the balance in line with the other questlines. 50-80 coins for an "easy quest" 100 coins for a "moderate quest" and 150-300 for a "hard quest". The generic quest lootbox can be included every couple of quests in a questline.

[mild basin]

i had other questions regarding quests though, such as the quantity since i know you prefer to keep it slimmed down for MCE2

[flint egret]

there is no need to keep anything slimmed down

eventually i want to have as many quests as mce1

[mild basin]

ars nouveau has quite a lot of information and i'd like to add as much as possible

[flint egret]

make as many as you feel like making, the quantity is not a problem

[mild basin]

sounds good

[flint egret]

its just i wanted to keep the quality high

info, tips and such

[mild basin]

makes sense 👌

[rare spire]

ars nouveau is super powerful and more people should know! it has a relatively easy storage system that works really well with create and can be your starting inventory/crafting system. I would highlight that, personally

[mild basin]

i've been playing MCE2 since it's been publicly available and i have yet to switch from the storage lectern to AE2 😭

i know a lot of ars nouveau, and there's very few items that i've only used once or twice and even less items that i hven't used at all

[rare spire]

its such a neat system, I really like it

[mild basin]

i love ars, people underrate it so often

it feels like botania but....better?

[rare spire]

the spell customization is such a fun little playground

and it intuitively rewards you for making learning? more spells

[mild basin]

i agree

more glyphs = more mana

[rare spire]

yeah that

im gonna be stuck figuring out if ars armor is better than tinkers tho

[mild basin]

@flint egret quick question about tasks if you don't mind, i don't see an option for choice tasks if there is one?

[mild basin]

tier 4 ars armor is netherite equivalent

it's basically all the same as vanilla armor but with a fresh coat of paint and added stats for mana

if it had more durability, i'd be more inclined to use it for combat

but having a set laying for utility is really nice

[rare spire]

yeah thats my concern

I dont want to be swapping armors really

[mild basin]

i have an armor set for general usage, iron spell's, and ars 😭

[rare spire]

LOL yeesh

[mild basin]

i don't swap all that often though

but having those extra boosts really help if you plan to use them long term

[flint egret]

choice tasks?

explain further

[mild basin]

i'd like to make a quest that requires you to upgrade your ars nouveau armor into its final upgrade, which has 4 different variants, but i don't want to force players to make ALL 4 if that makes sense?

[bold forge]

that's the sort of thing we can use a tag for

[mild basin]

can you show me how? i'm ingame right now

[bold forge]

we'll make a custom tag for it unless there's already one

you cannot atm unless you add FTB Filter System and FTB Xmod Compat

[mild basin]

right, i kinda figured neither were in the pack

[bold forge]

if they do not already have a specific tag in common that only they have, you can create one, i could write a kubejs script to add one

[mild basin]

specific tag in common?

[bold forge]

it wouldn't be too much effort to do as long as i know the ID naming scheme

an item tag they all exclusively share, basically

[mild basin]

ah, they don't

[bold forge]

then make one time

[mild basin]

this is one of the things i'm stuck on at this point but i could just make individual quests each armor set i guess...

[bold forge]

nah i will literally write a tag for you to use in the quest

it's a good solution

[mild basin]

oh, sure, if you really don't mind

[bold forge]

it will take me approximately 2 minutes with appropriate information

can you send me the IDs for a piece of each armor set

[mild basin]

is here fine?

[bold forge]

as long as the rest are similar i can make a regex that will match

that is fine yes

[mild basin]

it'll take a few to get all of the IDs

[bold forge]

i just need 4 in total, one from each set

assuming the rest all have similar IDs i can make a regex that matches them all

[mild basin]

ars_elemental:fire_hat
ars_elemental:air_robes
ars_elemental:earth_leggings
ars_elemental:water_boots

is this fine?

[bold forge]

perfect

do we want the quest to be for a full set or just any piece?

full set requires 4 subtly different tags, any single piece would just be one

[mild basin]

the armor sets each have a full-set bonus, so preferably a full set

[bold forge]

alright

[mild basin]

but i think players would do that anyway

mixing and matching would lose the full-set bonus

[bold forge]

this mod doesn't have any other armor sets outside of these, i figure?

[mild basin]

no

[bold forge]

cool

drop this into kubejs/server_scripts/ somewhere and you'll get the tag

i'll push it to repo too, it'll get used at some point i figure

[mild basin]

awesome, i appreciate it emper ❤️

if someone submits quests to the PR branch, is it common for them to be denied once or twice for revisions?

[bold forge]

we wouldn't need to deny it but rather just request changes

[mild basin]

fair

[bold forge]

we will definitely give it a check ingame before we accept though

revisions may be needed

[mild basin]

i'd expect requests for changes

would i make a custom task quest, or a normal item task?

[bold forge]

normal item task

[mild basin]

i've done quests before but never anything too in depth though

[bold forge]

it can be transformed to tag after the fact when FTB Filter System installed

[mild basin]

how would i set the item task up then?

[rose fern]

Doesnt seem to be in server side either. When new update releases we delete everything except for the world file

[bold forge]

for the moment if you don't have filter system, you can just put in one of the items with the tag

[mild basin]

if i add the filter system myself for the one quest, wouldn't it be messed up on your end if you didn't have it?

[bold forge]

at worst it will look funny, but it will be correct the moment we add filter system i believe

we're already intending to add it for some other quests, or atleast i think we absolutely should

[mild basin]

fair enough

i guess i'll add the mod in and see if i can't get it myself 🙂

again, appreciate all the help

for adam since he said he'd do all the decorating at some point, i assume the quests don't need to be placed in any particular way?

[bold forge]

you probably don't need to worry about it too heavily yeah

also, you can look at some of the other quests for design tricks

[mild basin]

sounds good, it's just there's a lot of sub-questlines for different parts of the mod 😭

not to mention the addons..

[bold forge]

in particular the botania quests use a trick to have dependency lines but only require a specific task out of a quest

which is just setting dependencies for both the main quest and the task within it and having it be an OR task

[mild basin]

gotcha

i see the botania quest tab has a quest for all the flowers....for ars nouveau, the amount of spell glyphs is.....quite a lot and i'd like to do something with those for a quest in the challenge tab or in the ars nouveau tab itself

some of these items can be ignored and 3 or 4 of the glyphs already come with the novice spellbook, but this is roughly the amount of spell glyphs sadly

[bold forge]

all glyphs could 100% be a challenge

you could also make quests for glyphs by tier or category or something

[mild basin]

i thought of that

[bold forge]

idk we'll figure it out at some point

[mild basin]

there's an item that allows you to share your own unlocked glyphs with other players and i figured there could be a workaround with that

[silent trail]

I think quests for some useful glyphs would be nice, maybe even set up in the order of a good spell?

[bold forge]

some simple spell suggestions as quests is not a bad idea

but i'd say to keep them simple

[mild basin]

but there's a single issue with the item: when inserted with the NBT data, it says "Created by insert player username"

[bold forge]

you don't want to throw an answer in the face of players

[bold forge]

depending on how it stores the unlocks we might be able to edit this reference

[silent trail]

Right, but things like "break, amplify, fortune" would be nice for those it would not be obvious to try

[mild basin]

it would be a good work around because you can find codex entries that allow you to unlock spells without actually making the glyphs

[bold forge]

a check on the code indicates that it stores both a source player UUID and username

[mild basin]

so that wouldn't work then i take

[bold forge]

well no

so it stores those, but it also stores each glyph on itself

so it will contain and teach every glyph between worlds without the source player

[mild basin]

right

it's meant to be shared with other players is the point of the codex

[bold forge]

ok, i did not fully understand your idea with this but i think i do now

you're saying that we use this to track glyph unlocks for that challenge

[mild basin]

yes

[bold forge]

assuming it will let us edit out the user references without breaking, it should work then

they're just individual tags on it

[mild basin]

it would be a work around if players have found codex entries that have allowed them to unlock spells without making the actual glyphs

if that makes sens

[bold forge]

right, it does

[mild basin]

good luck if you try

[midnight rose]

I just feel like it’s clunky also i am just a big fan of vanilla combat. I dislike how you can’t double tap, no stunning, and no uncharged hits

[mild basin]

"uncharged hits" are going to be significantly less damage than normal, you know that right?

[midnight rose]

Yes

[mild basin]

and what do you mean you can't double tap?

like, for sprinting?

and no stunning?

[midnight rose]

Similar to uncharged hits you do two quick consecutive hits usually with two different weapons

[mild basin]

not sure why you'd want multiple weapons

[midnight rose]

Different enchants

[mild basin]

what enchant differences aside from smite or sharpness?

fire aspect?

[midnight rose]

Yes i also have to wait for the swing to finsh before doing something else

[mild basin]

i mean realistically if you're in the middle of swinging around a heavy weapon, you can't exactly immediately stop right?

[midnight rose]

I mean if you are talking real world then sure but its minecraft

The guy who can carry millions of tons

[mild basin]

well, yea

the only real issue i'm seeing is "waiting for the swing to finish" honestly

i'm not disagreeing or anything, rather the opposite for that one point

[midnight rose]

The other points relate to pvp mostly which is something i like to do

Rather than pve

I always like to kill my friends on servers

I get the appeal of the mod i just don’t think its a great fit for Minecraft honestly

[mild basin]

if you don't like better combat, don't even look at epic fight.....

[midnight rose]

Yeah ive played with absolutely hated it hoped better combat would be better which it is but i just have a love for vanilla combat, but that could just be because i have essentially only used that for the past decade

[mild basin]

i mean, i like vanilla combat as well, but bettercombat feels more fluid with higher attack speed

vanilla combat just isn't great for that

bettercombat doesn't allow for fluid attacks with lower attack speed, i think

really its only downside

[midnight rose]

That might be my issue ill have to play around with it a little more than because ive mostly been using axes and swords which do feel cluncky

[mild basin]

making a tinker's katana might help, or making an iron's spell book with the haste and charge spells

[flint egret]

i tried making swords nicer by giving a 50% crit on the stab attack :>

axes are bad to use though i agree

[mild basin]

Ooh

[flint egret]

i have plans to make them deal x amount of armor piercing damage on attack

as axes would do

[mild basin]

i agree, axes are awful currently 😂

[flint egret]

give each weapon class a clear identity

[mild basin]

swords, axes, spears?, ????

bows

[hybrid path]

Magic, The iron spells right now feels expensive to do with long cooldowns to all spells

[mild basin]

magic is overall really bad

damage is too low for a lot of spells imo

[hybrid path]

most even if you make with legendary ink are around 10-15 damage

So I am eagerly waiting for the skill tree which I felt even though busted at the time with the leveling speed, was a good fix for the cast times, mana, and damage output

[fiery birch]

it feels like the mobs can hit at ridiculous ranges, when i cannot hit them even using the cleaver

[gleaming torrent]

I've always like axes for their outstanding burst damage, but the combat mod prevents that, if you could find an way to reintroduce that it would be cool imo.

[flint egret]

hmm

maybe some sort of beserk/warrior themed ability for axes? you speed up the more you attack the same target or something? :>

[dusk crow]

I agree. Since they are ai they know exactly the distance they can hit you from so they hit you from the maximum distance always. It’s pretty annoying because you are guaranteed to get hit a lot and it’s pretty annoying but I’ve just dealt with it

I don’t normally use axes but for some reason I’ve taken to using them. Last I saw there weren’t many variations of the axes all there was were vanilla, tinkers, and Ice and fire axe thats about it. I wish I saw more versatile axes. Also maybe you can add some sort of armor sets to pair with an axe to make them stronger (Like the warrior armor but higher tier than iron)

[plush vessel]

I already was a fan of this modpack. After realizing that more things unlock after signing the contract though I am loving it. Kicking myself for not signing sooner, but that is what it is

[gleaming torrent]

Not sure, but the idea is that over time sword should be better but given the first 3/4 seconds of combat axes should dominate? Being really good for clearing fodder and maybe gaining bonus on kill streaks.

[flint egret]

kill streak could be cool

increased damage per kill with a cap?

and a timer

[gleaming torrent]

Yeah, make it better for clearing multiple groups vs swords being better for single target.

[flint egret]

i could do something more simple where an axe gets an attack bonus for its first couple of consecutive attacks and then loses it for x amount of time

so you feel powerful with the initial use of an axe to clear some mobs and then you switch to a sword

[gleaming torrent]

Yeah this works too.

[gleaming torrent]

And then an armour set could provide this?

[gritty badger]

dam

the i am no match to to Prowler laser

[dusk crow]

what kind of materials do yall use for weapons and tools for tinkers?

[bleak lance]

Are iron ore veins suppose to be massive?

like over 50 blocks

[frozen dome]

maybe you hit a mega vein, I think the mod that adds those is in the pack

[bleak lance]

looks like i never have to worry about iron again

[frozen dome]

laughs in tech mods

[wintry smelt]

Does anyone know a good xp farm pre/mid nether?

[mild basin]

drygmy farm

underwhelming black market crate loot imo

[dusk crow]

how do you see whats in them?

[mild basin]

you don't until you open them

[dusk crow]

you cant see the loot pool?

[mild basin]

not that i know of

unless you go into creative and enable editing mode for quests

if not idk

[dusk crow]

i just went creative and open stacks at a time to see

[digital yacht]

Probably could see it in the kubejs folder or something

it has to be defined somewhere

[viral swan]

anyone found a good way to repair stuff w/o using xp or resource? kinda like the old powered anvil?

[vale vault]

Slaughtering your enemies for new weapons and gear instead
Eeee I’d say sticking to tinker tools if I remeber right since it’s just sharpening stones and repair kits right? Just material cost instead

[viral swan]

awe man, what about these legendary items

[vale vault]

Also might not be remembering right or be in this modpack but I have seen alternative forms of mending like life mending if you reaaaaaly don’t want xp usage

Sadly nothing comes to mind that just beats mending and a xp farm, maybe high level unbreaking and the broken tool charm that reduces chance of durability usage?

I just put all legendary weapons on display and use bad stuff and die 40 times every boss lmao

[fiery birch]

how does one open the shop?

[bold forge]

you don't, it's not finished

[gleaming torrent]

Close your eyes and think try to imagine it really hard.

Works for me.

[silent trail]

I just rub my coins together and imagine what i COULD spend them on

Better than actually spendin em

[cinder plume]

There's only a keybind that does basicaly the opposite, turn off mining with weapons instead of turning off attacking with tools, ha

[mild basin]

well, i was 50% correct

[topaz geyser]

where is my GOAT the akashic tome 😿

[torpid trail]

Anyone know if bow limbs were disabled on tinkers ? or am I just blind lmao

[bold forge]

they were not

[torpid trail]

Im just blind then, I dont see em i nthe part builder thingy

or do I need a diff table ?

[gleaming torrent]

Try using an different material, I had an similar problem.

[bold forge]

it's possible you don't have a material that can be used to make them

[gleaming torrent]

Or we are both blind

[torpid trail]

I havent tried that, I'll try, tysm

I just spent all morning trying to learn all the changes to this lol

[cinder plume]

It's there just called something else

Eccentric Tome

[mild basin]

ok so i kinda understand how to create a PR but i can't seem to find the dev branch...man, Github is not my favorite

[flint egret]

there is currently just one branch

so send the PR to there

[topaz geyser]

is there a way to acquire grass without silk touch? I'm trying to get canvas for books

[bold forge]

huh

[mild basin]

ok, well, when i click "New Pull Request" there's nothing there

i can't click create either

[bold forge]

you can get straw from using a knife to break grass plants

[bold forge]

you need to click compare across forks and select your fork

[flint egret]

you can also just send a zip here if you want

[bold forge]

and then the branch where you made changes

[mild basin]

i think i'll just send a zip....either it's not allowing me to make a PR or i'm just not doing something right

if you're talking about this part towards the top, i see nothing in the dropdowns

[flint egret]

no worries, you can just send it here or dm

i'll check it out :>

[mild basin]

i'll send it super secret-like, feel free to request changes in DMs

[bold forge]

blue text will give you a fork selection option

idk why they tuck it away like that

[mild basin]

not sure, github is just not my thing i guess

[bold forge]

fair enough tbh

[gleaming torrent]

Share with your fellow quester perhaps

[mild basin]

i send just the chapter i edited yea?? idk why i'd need an entire zip folder for it unless discord is dumb and blocks certain extensions??

[topaz geyser]

it doesn't let me harvest with the knives lol

[bold forge]

if it's just the one chapter that's been edited then yeah

[bold forge]

wtf

[topaz geyser]

I keep attacking the grass

[bold forge]

that make no sense

hm

it worked fine for me with a flint knife in 1.0

maybe it's just a matter of adam missing that one then

[topaz geyser]

ohhh I'm using the wrong kind of knife

[mild basin]

i guess i could send a sneak peak of a couple quests

[topaz geyser]

that said, i feel like the fillet knives should also count as knives

[bold forge]

yeah and they probably could quite easily, just gotta tag em properly

[nocturne pulsar]

what mobs u are using for drygmy ?

[flint egret]

correct

just the one chapter

[mild basin]

i sent it in DMS, not sure if you got it or not.

[flint egret]

awesome

[mild basin]

mainly ancient knight and some of the cataclysm bosses

[nocturne pulsar]

and it gives u black market crate ??

[nocturne pulsar]

.

[mild basin]

no?

what makes you think you can get quest crates from drygmys?

[mild basin]

totally didn't forget to send screenshots of a couple quests 😭

[flint egret]

new role unlocked

[mild basin]

let's goooo

adam is the new goat

[topaz geyser]

speaking of, my tinker's pickaxe keeps trying to attack this coal

and also the stone

[mild basin]

wouldn't that be normal for a..pickaxe?

[topaz geyser]

if not for Better Combat

[ancient swallow]

Hey is there any way to turn off the mod that overhauls the combat without removing it from the pack? I'm not sure what the mod is, so if anyone could tell me what it is that is doing it and if there is a setting to disable it. Is it better combat? I just read that message lol

As none of my friends like it and I have one that won't join because of it

[mild basin]

i think this is the only place i've seen with so much complaints towards bettercombat...

i think we should replace bettercombat with epicfight honestly

[ancient swallow]

It makes it so I can't hit anything without also being hit and I dont like it

[mild basin]

you mean mobs are outranging you?

[ancient swallow]

yeah

[flint egret]

#🐈-github-modpacks message

[mild basin]

that's not bettercombat, it's the enhanced ai mod i think?

[flint egret]

i added titles for each tier of spellbook too

seems to make sense

[mild basin]

oh?

[mild basin]

i assume Novice, Mage, and Archmage?

[flint egret]

correct

[mild basin]

cool

while you're editing them, i had meant to make these 2 bottom quests optional but forgot to

[flint egret]

will do

which ones?

[mild basin]

the 2 checkmarks, the one explaining dominion wands and rituals of binding should clarify, the "Dominion Wand 101"

[ancient swallow]

Is tthere a setting to remove either of them/

[mild basin]

shrug. the one keybind for bettercombat should've been reversed imo

[mild basin]

can't wait to see a challenge quest pertaining to unlocking all the Ars Glyphs

[wary zodiac]

gaming

[dusk crow]

is the bee dimension available? i saw it said quests to be added but i couldn't find a hive to get in there

[mild basin]

then find a beehive and throw a pearl into it

[mild basin]

is the nether star no longer a guaranteed drop from wither?
also wither may be a bit too strong, even with full prot 5 dreadsteel

[flint egret]

it should be

maybe its getting blown up :>

[mild basin]

but it shouldn't be getting blown up though

i found it after a few moments of breaking blocks and searching....

but i've had times where i couldn't find it at all, even with a magnet

[flint egret]

weird

i will test tomorrow

is sleep time

[mild basin]

have a nice sleep

💤

[fiery birch]

is there any reason that ae2things isnt in the pack?

[fiery birch]

my game crashes everytime the wither uses the shower attack...does anyone else?

[topaz geyser]

is it possible to like, preemptively create quests for the book? I know fossils and archeology is in the process of getting a 1.20 update and I'd be down to get a head start on writing quests, assuming it's getting added

(pleasepleasepleaseplease)

obv they wouldn't be able to go in the game, but maybe something that can be used as a framework for when they can?

[mild basin]

i mean, adam would probably keep it on the back burner til the mod gets ported completely best cast scenario...

[fiery birch]

yo Traylon, have you gotten to the great below yet?

[mild basin]

multiple times...been to great beyond, was there for 5 minutes and immediately left

me sitting here relooking through the ars quests running on minimal hours of sleep

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-anxiety-worried-worry-gif-10947879

[fiery birch]

||the sculk grinder, is it the sculk grower? or is it in the nether sanctuary?||

[mild basin]

don't think there's a need to spoiler that

but no

[fiery birch]

i found the scullk stronghold, but didnt see anything like the grinder

ah okay, didnt know if we wanted to avoid spoilers

[mild basin]

it's in the nether and there's a certain compass you use to find it

that's all i'm going to say

[fiery birch]

oh okay cool i have the compass i beleive

[mild basin]

👌

i'm actually just sitting here dying over multiple things right now lmao

[gritty badger]

what there are toxic caves ?

[bold forge]

yes

they have yummy radiation

[frozen dome]

I think you can just submit via GitHub like others do for other quests?

[small flare]

what's keeping the campfires in the soul forge burning?

nvm

[upper lynx]

So how do you keep the campfires burning?

[small flare]

Nvm again I still have no clue I thought it's just a in the nether thing

So back to what I asked, how does the campfire in the soulforge stay lit?

[upper lynx]

Does putting netherrack under it keep it going?

[small flare]

I tried but doesn't seem to work

[thick sky]

How far i need to travel from my spawn to start finding dragons?
I've been playing for 5 irl days (or more), traveled a few thousand blocks i did not found a single dragon.
Are they this rare or limited to a different dimension?

[upper lynx]

They are definitely more scarce than they used to be, but they do exist, I know I’ve found some 5000+ away from spawn

[thick sky]

Okay, than i'm just getting unlucky.

[small flare]

I have seen friends in my server be killed by them

[upper lynx]

More often underground, the surface ones seem really rare

[gleaming torrent]

What file do we upload images for in order for them to be useable in the quest tab?

[tawdry rapids]

not fixed 💔

[flint egret]

I can't remember the filepath exactly but it's kubejs - > assets - > I think modpack

[flint egret]

Crap. I forgot

I'll make a note of it

[topaz geyser]

made my base too close to the spawn and now my colony is a whole friggin pilgrimage away

nobody suffers like I do

Hi guys. i saw a Tip saying we can craft chunk loaders. But i dont see ingame when i search for Chunk or loader. Any one know what they are called ingame?

[hollow drift]

I know you can use FTB chunks to force load a couple chunks, but weird there's a tip for a chunk loader if there's isn't one (That I know of)

[tiny field]

yeah ty, i was just like, "hold on, i can craft em" and wanted but can find it xD.. the tool tip read: "Chunk Loaders can be crafted, they will load chunks even when you are away from your base!"

[gleaming torrent]

those do exits i just cant recall thier names

[hollow drift]

I stopped bothering with them after I learned about FTB chunks but they'd be good when I hit the limit unless I can get my server hosters to boost my max claims for me

[tiny field]

true 🙂

[gritty badger]

you get every day letter from mom ?

because i get from her letters i mean i get the reward

i get the reeward youve got mail and packed lunch

its nice to get it , feels like daily reward

i was on a older version lets see the new one if i still have this

[frozen dome]

I think you get one every 8 hours?

[topaz geyser]

is there an easier liquid fuel to get than lava?

[mild basin]

blazing blood. if you're thinking that building a foundry at a blaze spawner will do, there's a much easier way to get blazing blood, and a lot of it too. just look up in the nether 🙂

[misty ingot]

Blazing blood isn’t hard to mass produce if you get you just need 4 blazes in soul vials and a bunch of the ichor blocks

5blazes rather

[mild basin]

i've never used blazes, just ichor and i have nearly an elite tank plus more of blazing blood

elite tanks hold 256 buckets or something like that

i had to make a cleaver to get initial blaze heads to melt down though but after that it was easy

[gritty badger]

it seems if we go to nether we dont get this challange

[mild basin]

i mean yea, that's the point of it

if you're on a server though, that's super easy to complete

most servers are already on day 500 or something

[gritty badger]

solo

day 33 still a long way 🙂

[waxen shore]

MCE3 before GTA6?!? 🤣

[mild basin]

lmao

[pastel atlas]

After sometime playing with better combat, i think this is not the ideal for this modpack, actions and stuff are waaaay better, if there's a way to change this mod to another combat mod, or just remove it, that would be cool, because the better combat anoys me sometimes, i think it's not only me that thinks that way, just a suggestion.

[mild basin]

there's no other combat mods except for epicfight, which is even worse than bettercombat

a lot of people don't like bettercombat but i think it's just getting used to it

could probably tweak the config

[pastel atlas]

Because when playing online theres some lag spikes that makes the combat annoying so much

[mild basin]

how so?

[pastel atlas]

The problem starts when you can't hit some mobs due the lag spikes, i don't tested yet on singleplayer world, i've joined a few servers and opened a server myself, i don't know if this mod is more client-side, i'm gonna run some offline tests because when are you playing online with this mod, it's really a challenge to hit some mobs, i prefer a option that disable this feature or change combat mode to normal mode when playing, the combat mode from the Dawncraft Modpack looks like more stable when hitting mobs(I think it's epic fight)

[mild basin]

epicfight is a million times more clunky than bettercombat. if it was switched to epicfight, i would quit playing this modpack as bad as that is to say

if you're having lag spikes on a server, it's probably your connection

maybe test in singleplayer before blaming the mod for issues

[pastel atlas]

like i said, i'm not the only with this problem

i've tested a plenty of servers with low ping

[mild basin]

but if you're having lag spikes while playing on a server, it couldn't be the mod at all

i don't have issues with bettercombat at all except a couple case scenarios

[tight pawn]

^

[pastel atlas]

I'm looking around this issue, because i'm not the only one with this problem, i have 1Gbps internet with a modern router, i don't have problems with other games when i'm playing online, i need to confirm if this mod is stable when playing online, but, personally, i preffer vanilla combat.

[mild basin]

it's definitely stable

[tight pawn]

I'm afraid we are keeping bettercombat in the pack as we believe it adds more to the experience than it takes away with occasional clunkiness

[mild basin]

the pros outweigh the cons, and it's not even close

[tight pawn]

But we are always looking into potential performance increases and fixes :)

[pastel atlas]

Is more about community feedback, we need to discuss more about how we can improve and make adaptations on the modpack to make it fun for everyone, my only issue is that at momment, i'm having a lot of fun exploring and discovering.

[tight pawn]

And community feedback leans solidly into keeping it into the pack :>

[mild basin]

you're not wrong but at the end of the day, the call always goes to the devs

[tight pawn]

Are you sure it's lag you're experiencing and not mobs being out of reach of your weapons

[mild basin]

they can choose to listen to the community but unless it's an overwhelming amount, highly unlikely anything will be changed

[tight pawn]

Some mobs have extra reach so they require different tactics to fight

As they can hit you at the same range you hit them

[mild basin]

i've fought mobs that had like an extra 2 block melee range against me

absolutely wild

[pastel atlas]

I am the one of the people that voted to keep bettercombat at the modpack, but at momment i'm having this issues about this mod

[tight pawn]

Cursed armors being notable ones

[mild basin]

oh, cursed armors are the worst offenders of extra reach imo

[tight pawn]

If you can capture the behaviour in video then feel free to submit a git issue, as we're always on the lookout for lag issues

[mild basin]

are we going to see any changes to making the wither easier at all? currently, most if not all of its attacks either nearly 1 shot or completely overkill the player. i have full prot 5 dreadsteel with iron spell's buffs like oakskin along with notch apples and was barely living

[pastel atlas]

Alright

[rose fern]

Anyone know if a way to collect water bottles automatically?

[mild basin]

what do you need so many water bottles for?

[rose fern]

Well I need lava bottles

[mild basin]

well, check JEI and you'll see

[rose fern]

it doesnt tell everything

like maybe there is a mob you can have pick up with bottles it wouldnt show in JEI

[mild basin]

of course it doesn't tell absolutely everything but it shows you common ways to do something

or if there's only one single way

[rose fern]

maybe interact with spell turrets

[mild basin]

how would spell turrets help you fill bottles with lava?

[rose fern]

if they can interact with a lava source

[misty ingot]

Doesn’t create have a bottler

[rose fern]

But then it costs 250mb if I can pick it up its infinite lava

[gleaming torrent]

@mild basin Sick work on the chapter dude

[mild basin]

thanks, but i made a lot of mistakes since i worked on it while low on sleep but i have something ready with most of it fixed

if i can figure out github, i can upload it for adam

[gleaming torrent]

I'm jealous that you beat me to the "I contributed first" bragging rights but das on me.

[mild basin]

as far as i know, i'm the first one outside the dev team who's contributed anything so far? i'm not really sure though

[gleaming torrent]

Should be yeah.

[mild basin]

pretty cool

but yea, after i gave the chapter to adam after making sure it all looked good, i kept finding mistake after mistake despite that, made me a bit disappointed

[gleaming torrent]

Kinda comes with pushing it out so fast so don't worry about it too much,

[mild basin]

i already have fixes for that so it's just kinda getting them to the main branch right now

i've never really used github for uploading files and such so it's kind of a headache for me

[topaz geyser]

anything pre-nether?

[tight pawn]

Happens to the best of us, just look at MCE2 1.0

[mild basin]

If you'd check JEI, it'll tell you

I think you can directly view fuel sources for the smeltery/foundry? Someone can correct me if I'm wrong

[steel glacier]

is there no shop?\

[gleaming torrent]

Not Implemented Yet.

[misty ingot]

anyone got an idea why the squeezer wont go down when jumped on like it should

[topaz geyser]

looks like mmy easiest* bet is going to be lava, everything else seems like it requires at least the nether lol

[mild basin]

That's your only option pre-nether. Everything after requires blazing blood at least

[snow beacon]

https://bytebin.lucko.me/p8GDp8gVnp i got this crash when fighting the wither

[fiery birch]

anyone have any suggestions for a mob farm? im used to using industrial foregoing. I know create is a valid option but is difficult when placing inside a compact machine

[digital yacht]

drygmy farms are pretty rad

from Ars

[pulsar mural]

So question for anyone that does minecolonies, I placed a supply camp down but realized the area I had originally wanted to build in just isn't big enough, So I placed down a second supply camp 1000 blocks away in a better spot but it's now not letting me place the town hall because the "supply camp is 1050 blocks away". Does anyone know how to fix this? Do I need to just destroy the whole first camp?

[digital yacht]

are there any redstone timers or clocks included? I searched for both and did not find them

[untold pilot]

Create Pulse Timer works nearly the same as the old project red timer

[mild basin]

i agree 🙂

[digital yacht]

nice thanks

[long finch]

Is it a specific attack that triggered it? I had the same issue if so. Crashed out server on 1.04.3

[dusk crow]

anyone know how long it takes for the disenchanting graves to regenerate/get souls?

[mild basin]

quite a while, not sure about the exact amount of time

it's enough time to go out and explore a good bit

[digital yacht]

anyone know why these deployers are not pushing out saplings? They move up and down while the machine is running but it never places any saplings

[paper vessel]

Are the chunks claimed?

[digital yacht]

deployers needed to go up 1 block

too low to the ground lmao

[paper vessel]

If so you gotta enable fake players in ftb menu

And the photo just loaded for me hahaha

[mild basin]

emper, if you see this (i'd prefer to not ping you or adam directly), would you be able to show me how to properly do a PR for the github?

[bold forge]

sure

[mild basin]

i've been trying to read up on this for a bit but i'm not really getting anywhere

not sure if it's me missing something or github just not being clear enough for me

[digital yacht]

Did you fork the main repo?

[mild basin]

like i said, i'm trying to figure this out right now while working on AE2 😂

more on this than that though

[rare spire]

idk if anyone answered you but you need to go higher than a regular jump

[mild basin]

no, you don't. it needs multiple jumps

[rare spire]

I mean I welcome you to try, it does not work for me either

[digital yacht]

works perfectly fine for me. Just jump directly in the center 4 or 5 times

[mild basin]

yea, exactly

[lilac frigate]

I had to jump off a two block high blocks then it worked

[bold forge]

@mild basin ok so i'm assuming you're wanting to create it from scratch, so:
1 - go to the repo's main page https://github.com/adam9899/MC-Eternal-2
2 - click on Fork above the Code button and create a fork
now usually you'd just use like a git client from here, but web editor is plenty fine for updating single quest files so i will assume you are fine with that
3 - search up and open the file you want to edit on your fork
4 - click on the Edit button on the far right of the file's toolbar
5 - i'd just say copypaste the contents of the file
6 - click Commit Changes, write in a commit message and description if you want. you can either select create a new branch and start pull request or commit directly to main branch, the former is cleaner if the changes might not be accepted at all. note that the pull request will try and pull the message and desc later, but you can edit it there after the fact.
7 - now you can make the pull request, if you didn't use the shortcut earlier, you go to Pull requests on the source repo and click new pull request.
8 - make sure you click on compare across forks after starting the pull request creation, and then select your fork, and the branch where changes have been made. a preview of changes will be shown below the message and description box, and the message and description of the first divergent commit should be pulled in automatically.

uh i think that's it, this is partly from memory so hopefully it is complete enough.

[mild basin]

i'll try this and see if it works 🙂

better than what github has tried telling me

got a fork created...no edit button but "add file" is there

[bold forge]

you need to open a file for the edit button

"add file" will only let you upload to the root directory last i knew, unless you set up the same folder structure you want to upload to on your system somewhere

it's clunky i wouldn't recommend it

[mild basin]

hmm

[bold forge]

use the searchbar and put in the file name

then just click it

that'll open it and then you can find the edit button

[mild basin]

wait, where am i looking for this at exactly?

[bold forge]

from the main page on your fork

[mild basin]

AH

i realized

ok, i have the quest chapter opened now

how do i.....search for keywords in this to make sure everything is 100% this time 😭

[hybrid path]

does anyone know if the diamond cut gem is disabled, when we put it in the part builder options disappear, but we can make the other gems?

[mild basin]

some probably got disabled

[fiery birch]

@flint egret You can access locked quests by using JEI (see nether star -> bow of yeeting)

[tiny field]

Has anyone seen structures with a boiler? Cause i wanna fly in my base to build 😛 and i need a boiler for that.. but i dont wanna go to nether yet to capture a blaze xD!

[vale vault]

If you mean a burner I saw some in airship villages but they don’t have blazes in them. Haven’t seen anything called a boiler yet tho wonder what that is o.O

[small flare]

@flint egret with the new 17%increase to structure generation, would it be safe to regenerate parts of the world we haven't gone to yet? Or should we just explore further out?

[tight pawn]

If you're regenerating chunks id prepare for some weird geometry but otherwise I can't see an issue if you do your due diligence with backups

[small flare]

Noted thank you

[viscid basin]

@flint egret have a little question, how i get to the great below? do i have to activate the big portal in the middle? and how do i do that

[polar dome]

Brother its part of the game

Check jei

[viscid basin]

the modpack does pretty bad in explaining how to get there

[polar dome]

The quest tells you to find out by yourself, of course thats pretty bad

[pastel atlas]

Hey um, i'm having some issues trying to load the modpack

tooking 20 minutes to load the pack

is that normal?

[polar dome]

Did you check the questline about the great beloe?

[pastel atlas]

Allocated 12gb already i have 32gb ram

[viscid basin]

i did the questline until i found the ancient city, and then nothing more happened

[polar dome]

You actually dont need the city, can i dm you? Dont want to spoil it for everyone else

[gritty badger]

daaam that warden is strong

[viscid basin]

warden fks my buttocks

[digital yacht]

It's like 2 min for me. Check task Manager while game is launching?

[pure tundra]

cf likes to default to 4g of ram assigned which is too low

might explain your issue

[digital yacht]

They added a pic, they're at 12

Wouldn't hurt the double check though to make sure it's picking it up

[gritty badger]

hmm the neck is kinda long rly long

[viscid basin]

sometimes it feels like it has no limits

[gritty badger]

for the loot i see so many enchanting books

[pastel atlas]

I'm having this issues sometimes when tries to launch

The game got stuck on loading and i need to kill the instance and launch again

Anyway, here is a good playlist to listen while playing Mce 2
https://youtu.be/jAS-GKmQ_5o?list=RDjAS-GKmQ_5o

[digital yacht]

Huh. Maybe the latest.log or debug.log would have some answers

[pastel atlas]

I am playing on a server actually, i got disconnected by a error and i can't join anymore "You can't join this mce2 server, please try again later"

[viscid basin]

btw someone found any dragons?

like living ones?

[sharp crystal]

Yep! I’ve found a couple of ice dragons

[viscid basin]

did u killed one?

[gritty badger]

combo the best one

double jump into paragliding to almost fly

[hybrid path]

I have the anti grave boots and the iron spell for a 2 minute elytra, I turn myself into a living railgun since it constantly pushes against the ground and speeds me up. Only problem is hitting anything at that speed splatters me like a bug on a windshield lol

[gritty badger]

so the bunny boots would negate fall so it would be nice

[pastel atlas]

Cmon man

[thick sky]

What is the best early-mid game power generation method?
Dimensions unlocked: Nether, The great below, the great beyond (end like dimension but the only block is scluck 💀)

[gritty badger]

i still did not build anything i just pilage everything, create blocks gona start with that

look i how many anvils are only here first i loot everything and then start building stuff

i have like 10 chests only with enchanted books

and i am only day 46

what is this 12 hearts 1 hit..

[thick sky]

The loot chests can be normal, can spawn cursed armor or can be connected a mini boss like that

I hate them

[gritty badger]

this bunny regens so fast i cant kill it

[thick sky]

Well, i guess the only reason i can kill them bc i'm playing with cheats on (yeah, i can't play a single world in a legit way 😅)

I created a somewhat good cleaver

But added 100 modifier and abality slots to it

It does damage between 40 and 110 and it still takes a good while to kill some of these bosses

[thick sky]

Btw what do you think? Basic crafted stuffs are better with enchants or tinkers created stuffs?

[gritty badger]

for the normal mobs i think its good basic with enchanted but later tinkers i still did not get to that stage but i know there are boses where i cant go with normal gear

[hybrid path]

idk if it was bad rng or the rates have been dropped, I havnt gotten any grave dust since the .5 update, is it more rare now?

[flint egret]

Nope, no changes to that

Would've been in the change log

[thick sky]

Adam, which early-mid game power generation method is the best?

[hybrid path]

A whole night of killing and not one dropped, I have been using the Iron spells magic missle to kill though if that effects it?

[mild basin]

Thermal series dynamos or heat generators from mekanism if you can make a bunch of them

Heat generators work best if you place lava around them and not inside

I wish we had the create addon that lets us convert SU to RF or vice versa 😉

[thick sky]

Thanks!

[bold forge]

i mean you do it by using compressed creativity and pneumaticraft as a bridge :)

you just have to deal with a third power system

[mild basin]

I've never used PNC

Except for crop supports

Also emper, I was able to figure out github

[bold forge]

very nice
