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

[Maestro]

And by the time Maru "gave it to us and we allowed it to go on" we were at the point where we LITERALLY NEEDED to update the server. You all remember how much EVERYBODY was whining about crashes and lag near the end of DW20, and you say you would've wanted us to WAIT for community input on a single Mod that is (in one of it's supporters own words) "just about aesthetics"?

izak you're forgetting this,

THIS

is the main reason for me

P-Edit @izak: we do now XD

I don't have the whitelist or the ban list form the ld server, obviously, but if you could put together a list that'd be awesome
(for now we'll be using one that contains the name of any player still around known to me, but I'm sure there're others)

[izakthegoomba]

Oh, and blake: a new dimension would actually be ok if we liked the mod enough, and it didn't add ANY worldgen to the overworld. Aether II, anyone?

[EspeciallyTheLies]

M i do trust you thanks for explaining that to me. I wish I'd known that before. I hate that xl biome stuff. Giant sand mountains and shit. Gross.

P-edit: izak what aether?

[izakthegoomba]

It's a new mod, a kind of re-make of the old Aether mod. I wasn't really being serious, I'm not even sure that it doesn't add OW worldgen.

[Maestro]

ETL, it's like this but better. It's only for 1.5.1 so far and it's in Alpha though. Otherwise............

[izakthegoomba]

Those aren't the only concerns. The mod as a whole is kind of obnoxious and overblown - to start with, it changes the menus and replaces the logo with it's own one. I'm reasonably certain it would work with our other mods, but I'm not at all convinced we want that kind of thing.

[Maestro]

^ I like VoxelMenu, but that sounds ew.

[izakthegoomba]

Yep. It is very, very ew.

[fuzzybutternut]

AETHER. YES AETHER. <3

[blake5135]

Aether <3

[Maestro]

Sure?

Informational note:

I found a Pumping Station in the Overworld at X:-1792/Y:117/Z:1056. The Energy Tesseract was set to Frequency 1(Oil Pump).

I have not dismantled it but it has been here for at least 2 weeks, that is when I first noticed it, and the well is dry (it was a HUGE Oil Vault by the way when I looked, lots of oil came out of it). The Equipment is an Energy Tess, Pump, an Ender Tank set Black/Black/Black plus the Energy Conduits and waterproof pipes to run the thing.

I did take down the chunk loader though, trying to find if I could get the owner's name and it fell quite a ways and I couldn't find it to recover it, so who ever this rig belongs to, I owe you a chunk loader.

Only reason I mention this is that it looks like it might be abandoned by a player who no longer plays or the player who does own it has forgotten exactly where it was. It is located in some Red Hills right next to an NPC Village. Anyhow, get a hold of me in game or respond to this post if it is yours and I'll replace your chunk loader.

For that I guess I am against adding pointless things that only serve to bloat the modpack.

Actually, I like this point more than any other. The whole point of designing our own pack was to focus on the content-filled, fun-to-use Mods that we all liked, whether from experience in Mindcrack/DW20 or from personal experience. (Tinker's got added this way, and I don't know a single person on server

WITHOUT

a Tinker's tool or weapon except

MAYBE

Clammy or Rhino. I'm sure they have plans for getting one or more in the near future...)

The whole point of making our own pack rather than switching to (say) Ultimate, or just staying with DW20 and eliminating the problem Mods (Mystcraft, Thaumcraft, etc.) was that we DIDN'T want little things like this making their way in just because they were already in the pack or everybody had no opinion on them.

P-Edit:

ACTUALLY

, just so everyone knows, I'm almost positive this Mod theoretically nerfs

ALL

explosions that occur, allowing for Vanilla TNT, Nitro Creepers, and even Withers to now be used as excessively profitable mining tools - and yes, even in the Nether. It doesn't and can't modify

JUST

what the Creeper does, since the Creeper's effects are 100% based off the generated javascript for how the game handles explosions. All this Mod does is change the way the game handles explosions and tells it that something can still explode, it will just drop all the blocks effected by said explosion, instead of destroying them.

you need to learn forge. I'm 99.999999% sure the mod can only affect creepers, and will download and test this weekend to prove.

[Maruchan]

Yeah, I don't know why this even made it into admin discussions, let alone the thread. It's a terrible idea poorly executed - forget it and move on.

have one of you even tested it like I am about to?

[Maruchan]

m'kay tested, no to the mod. seriously shoudl consider getting a bukkit plugin that stops creepers doing world damage though

[Maruchan]

Oh, and blake: a new dimension would actually be ok if we liked the mod enough, and it didn't add ANY worldgen to the overworld. Aether II, anyone?

when Aether II is published I swear to god I am going to make every fucker here fall in love with it and force it to be added or die trying.

[Klazam]

Good news all: Gauntlet Part 1 is complete. Construction will begin on part 2 shortly.

Remember: Grand Opening on 6/15.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

What is gauntlet

[Klazam]

A Nintedo Hard evil Death Course full of Malevolent Architecture. You have to navigate the full thing successfully for a secret prize at the end, but it's VERY hard.

I built one a long time ago for the vanilla server, and it was generally well-recieved, so I built another for this server.

Even if you do not want to try it, I included a spectator section where you can watch others trying it!
