Minecraft Megathread; yeah its update 1.12 big whoop what about it

[._maxwell23461_.]

I get some lag some of the time, but it's really inconsistent so it's probably just regular old high resource usage woes.

Played some Terrafirmacraft today, too. Spawned in a hilly area, got like 7 natural copper nuggets and cassiterite from 30-ish rocks total. Then chested that, went out looking for clay, got lost for four days, still haven't found clay or my hovel.

~ADVENTURE~

Also chickens are underpowered, a WHOLE CHICKEN restores less hunger than a single steak and you get like 20+ steaks from one cow

terrafirmacraft is better than tekkit IMO

I'm inclined to agree.

Tekkit is only building on the inherently not-all-that-interesting base game, TFC revamps it completely into something totally different. It feels very reminiscent of Haven & Hearth, really.

it's hard for me to agree because computercraft + redpower

but for now i will agree until tekkit updates cc

seriously the current text editor in tekkit is like

really bad

[._maxwell23461_.]

If tekkit and TFC were one big mod, it'd be pretty realistic.

that's an interesting idea, however it wouldn't work since terrafirmacraft would literally remove/replace everything you would need to make tekkit machines.

remove all metals and ores and gems from tekkit
replace with TFC stuff
yay

harder than it sounds i'm sure

however i'm not a modder so i'm not very knowledged on the subject

plus an automatic diamonds generator doesn't necessarily fit with the theme of TFC.

ok you know i said i was taking skin requests and i didnt do any

i was super busy and couldnt

just request and maybe if youre lucky ill do it?

Tekkit's other big failing is that it's actually a bunch of other mods and they often double up on things.

Redpower's Blulectricity vs IC2 electrics, Redpower Computer vs ComputerCraft

In the first case I'd like to see it cut entirely (I love frame motors but I hate having to lay all the different cables, not to mention the solar panel seems to be the only blulectric generator? I'd prefer the option to just not include it, given that the official explanation for redstone is literally "magic" last I saw) and in the second case, ComputerCraft wins out simply by not being a super low level wank-fest. It implements a simple to use language and doesn't make you forget about with hardware. It's about getting stuff done. RP2 Computer is just overcomplicating the matter.


Really though it wouldn't make sense to combine TFC/Tekkit. TFC is focused on the more primitive tech, the medieval/fantasy survival aspect. Tekkit stuff is literally the complete opposite, focused on the building aspect. They'd contradict each other.
I could see some simple stuff making it into TFC, but it'd be things like winches, water wheels and other simple motors for the purpose of functional design - gates, elevators, etc., but electricity? I don't think it'd fit.


Were I going to pack some mods together, the list right now would be MAtmos/Optifine for pretties, Redpower 2 Wiring, Logic and Machines; ComputerCraft, Balkon's Weapon Mod, Smart Moving, Double Doors, Fancy Fences, Useful Storage and Better Blocks & Items. Possibly Railcraft, I haven't played with it yet but it seems to add a lot of stuff that assumes you're using stuff like Buildcraft.
