The MafiaScum Minecraft Thread - Summer 2024 NEW SERVER!

BEDMAS is bad and you should all feel bad.

[Chevre]

So once the update happens, whenever the heck that is, I'm looking to add some mods. MindCrack was kind of awesome but there was a lot of stuff I didn't need that slowed down my computer a bunch. I'm also going for more of a natural themed play, like MindCrack is much more mechanically centered and that wasn't really fun for me (plus there was niko-useless-lite up the wazoo)

So here's what I'm looking at:
Biomes o' Plenty (or EBXL? I like them both. BicBiomeCraft is kinda yucky, but I supppose it is also an option)
Mo' Creatures (potentially some others, like DungeonMobs, Primitive Mobs, or Elemental Creepers)
Metallurgy (and possibly XyCraft? I do like the Xychoridite, but they seem to be trying to go in a more mechanical direction. Plus it has pesky aluminuseless...)
Pam's Mods (HarvestCraft for sure, don't know what others, probably not many)
Crafting Guide

Twilight Forest is great and I would really like to explore that mod but I feel like it adds a lotta lotta stuff and that'll slow down my computer. Although if I'm not in the Twilight Forest it shouldn't matter?

EDIT: Timber probably for sure, Backpacks and Weather you can add to the maybe list.

[Rhinox]

New computer hardware coming tomorrow

Too bad it'll probably be another 3 days after that before I get through all of: A) get the hard drive to boot, B) back up data, C) reformat/reinstall windows, and D) go through the endless parade of windows and driver updates.....

EBXL. it wins over any other biome adding. get it.
and the rest are perrty good.

i personally thought the same about twilight forest and mystcraft which is why i always stayed away from them, but they are awesome.

YOU DID IT WRONG MARU

You don't do it like this:

Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

You do it like this:

Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication/Division
Addition/Subtraction

The multiplication and division is one step, as is the addition/subtraction. So 5/5*3 is 3, not 1/3.

[fuzzybutternut]

WHEN THE FUCK DID THIS THREAD TURN INTO MATH 1?!?!
Also, Happy Belated Scumday, Corin.

[Rob14]

WHEN THE ELEMENTARY-LEVEL EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM FAILED, THAT'S WHEN

[fuzzybutternut]

WHEN THE ELEMENTARY-LEVEL EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM FAILED, THAT'S WHEN

I blame America.

Maruchan Y U CLOSE SERVER.

[izakthegoomba]

PEMDAS IS STILL DUMB

[Chevre]

Maruchan, can you give any specific reason why? Biomes o' Plenty actually looks really similar to EBXL, except the autumn biome in EBXL is prettier. Which I love the autumn biome, so yah.

And I've decided that I'll just do all the mods now (now meaning after I write this paper and after I write the Premiere of BB86) and just not update until most or all of the mods have updated as well. Redstone is not my cup of tea.

Also math is bath but east is least and west is best!

Can't disagree with that logic! You wouldn't even know how to!

[Claus]

Chevre, no love for Thaumcraft?

[Klazam]

Thaumacraft is awesome for several reasons.

Adventurer's boots- treat 1 block high stuff like stairs, and double speed/jumping

Golems- little slaves that obey your bidding

Super tools- such as a shovel that mines 9 with one hit, an ax that chops trees from the top down, a pick that autosmelts, even a hoe that acts as bonemeal

Nitor- an absolutely beautiful light source

[Maestro]

Yeah, yeah, and...uh...big pretty floaty thingies that spawn small lightning balls of DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.

[Maestro]

Naw, but really Thaumcraft is the shit.

[Claus]

Thaumcraft is awesome because it adds things really different to the game (the research gameplay, the way to use the crucible, flux mechanics) that still feel kinda "minecraft-y", and because it is super ultra polished. The Thaunomicom is a thing of beauty. It is a mod that doesn't just feel hacked in when you play it (*cough IC2 and xycraft*)

[Claus]

Don't take me wrong, IC2 adds a lot of fun things (jetpack, wheeeeee!), but the block designs and the recipe designs just feel... I don't know, they feel standing out like a sore thumb.

[Klazam]

the server is sorta messed up atm.

Lag so bad i cant even play.

Not sure if the server is crashed or not

[Maestro]

It isn't, last I checked, but yeah the lag is terrible.

[Klazam]

Spoiler: How i feel:

[Maestro]

...did you get that from me? I love that gif.

There's also...

Spoiler: this!

[Klazam]

No. Googlefu for that gif. yeah

The other one... yeah, i agree with it

[Maestro]

Crippling lag on the FTB Server tonight is being remedied by our amazing Corin.
He says he's moving the server back to it's original location, and that he'll figure out the issue properly tomorrow.

WHAT THIS MEANS: in a little while (or whenever Corin feels like it, really) Modded server will be back up at the IP "maru.corin.me"
WHAT ELSE THIS MEANS: don't fuck with rules, go in laggy Ages (or any Ages at all, how about that?), or do anything that might lag or crash the server.

Or I will hunt you down.

[Chevre]

All I really know about Thaumcraft is that you make wands, and that's as far as I got. I made the wand of the apprentice twice but never had a bookshelf to get the Thaumanommanomicon from.

It's kind of nifty but it's just not something I'm crazy about.

[Klazam]

try it. It gets awesome after a short bit

[Chevre]

Well I just don't know because when you go to the Thaumcraft thread on MinecraftForum it's just like "make a wand of the apprentice, get a Thaumicon, gogogo" but I want a little bit more background without spoiling myself. Is it like casting magic spells? Or enchanting things?

Anyway, I'm pretty proud of myself; I managed to get the basic six mods I wanted without too much trouble. The only one I'm not sure works is EXBL but I'm sure it did. I was a little scared about metallurgy because ores weren't appearing? But then I found a dungeon with a tin bar in the chest and then I found some copper ore.

I did get confused trying to install Mo' Creatures, but they were wise enough to put a "how to install" in their first post.
