The MafiaScum Minecraft Thread - AllTheMods 9!!! - NEW Vanilla?

[Catbug]

I just found a stronghold on vanilla.

oooooooooooooo yall know what that means?

[Aronis]

I found the End Portal. There weren't any Eyes in it, but I have 3 leftover ones and I found another one exploring. Unfortunately, part of the stronghold is in the middle of a large cave with a pool of lava at the bottom, so I was unable to access the stuff across the pool. And I haven't found a library yet, but I haven't finished looking around.

I'd prefer 3 or 5 on Saturday. I might be able to be on at 7 on Saturday or at 10 on Friday. I don't think I could come on Sunday.

My new little buddy and I did a project tonight on Modded...



It's a 64-chunk height map projection, made up of 16 individual maps!
I hid the projectors below smooth Stone Slabs for prettiness.

[davesaz]

Pretty cool. Looks kinda like the mining world though, not much in the way of height. And I think I recognize the giant fenced in area and the buildings.
Can you replace out the maps to display anything, or is it pegged to the ones it is built from?

[Rhinox]

Nice Ender Eye of Sauron... I wouldn't want to be in that village the eye seems fixated on

[Maestro]

It is the mining world - that's where I live after all. I kinda like that it's flat since it fits into the table thing I built around it, but yeah, not much variety. The three patches of height difference down bottom left inside the fence, top right past the ravine, and bottom right are Greatwood Trees. The Ender Eye is the Cartographer buddy - he's in the foreground so he looks big.

The "village" I think you're seeing is my house. Dave's right; the giant fence is Dav's Ender Quarry area with all the plants.

For 1.7.10 SP, I recommend this mod. Incredibly fun, lots of stuff, useful and nostalgic!

There's a reason EE2 was remade; looks like this has all of those reasons. Not to mention rebooting / remaking mods, even with the author's consent, irks me on a higher level. If they wanted the mod to continue (and since it's their ideas that should matter to you) they would consider continuing it themselves.

EE2 was abandoned by Xenophobe because he didn't feel like developing it anymore.
Pahimar picked up EE2 and is now developing EE3
Project E is an exact remake of EE2 and Xenophobe is well aware of it.

[fuzzybutternut]

Also, project-red.
'nuff said.

[Maestro]

lol That's slightly different in that Eloraam was being... frankly, a cunt about her little pet project, that nobody could ever have in a modpack ever and that nobody could ever learn from or add on to by it being open source. I just shouldn't've said anything; my general opinions on mods-that-make-half-the-other-mods-in-a-pack-useless... those opinions are well known.

I'm confused. Am I reading the implication correctly that there is something in EE2 that you were happy it was gone in EE3?
I found EE3 useless and would be interested in looking at an EE2 lookalike / remake. But I'd also be open to discussing the pros and cons.

[Maestro]

EE2 was an overpowered, impressively-unbalanced mod that overtook the usefulness of the few other expansive mods that existed back at the height of its popularity. It has no place in more recent packs which revolve around mod integration, multiple power systems, and complex automation and which (IMO) shouldn't rely on one mod to do 99% of what you'll ever need to do to get anything you'd ever want in Minecraft. That's a pretty fuckin' huge con there, bro. Feed a transmutation table enough Cobble that was generated for free via Igneous Extruder(s) and you can get Nether Stars.

There was a mod in a recent ScumPack which I took it upon myself to show off as stupidly unbalanced. It was called "Alchemical Reactions" and the basic premise was that these things called "Reactants" were crafting materials, produced in huge amounts, which could be crafted with stuff to turn it into other stuff, almost always at a net gain in usefulness or rarity. What Klaz, Maru, and I had fun proving a point with, was that within a week on this server with this mod I'd created an autocrafter rig with nothing more complex than some Redstone and Iron, and it was providing us infinite Nether Stars for as long as we tossed in Eggs. We used the Stars for power or broke back down into whatever block we wanted.

NOTHING

like that should belong in any pack that wants to encourage people to use new mods or explore integration between mods. It shuts that kind of behavior down faster than Applied Energistics shuts down any need to create a storage system like we all used to do. This server is the only one in about the last 5 where I've touched AE, and it's mainly because I'm being a reclusive troll nowadays and not even worrying about doing anything other than fucking around since I haven't had the opportunity to play MC in so long.

You're kinda new here, and I assume you haven't just hit ISO on me in this thread, but this is one thing I've been pretty consistent about thought-wise and it's nothing against you (or davroe, or ETL should she decide to include the mod). It's obviously an opinion and there's no real point in arguing it with me but I'd love to hear whatever you wanted to say.

[Maestro]

Pahimar picked up EE2 and is now developing EE3

Also, dav, this is what I was referring to - not Xeno dropping development but Pahi realizing it was worth it to rewrite the mod from scratch, which he's admittedly been having trouble doing. At least he admitted the mod was flawed and wanted to improve on it.

[Maestro]

Damn, sorry for all the posts.

In actuality I have no say in what goes on on the servers anymore so feel free to ignore me and chalk me up to the modded version of the Golden Oldy "get off my Vanilla Lawn"-types that protest server restarts, etc.
