Discussion on Potential YC Modpack

[Katrix]

I tested it and sure, it makes a HUGE difference. Even NEI recipe lookup is faster. My guess is that FTB does this automatically. I'd dafinetively say that you could add those mods now. *wink wink*

[Remilia Scarlet]

I'll test it myself once I get home. If all goes well, I'll load it in the next version of the pack.

I'm assuming FTB has a either a modified forge or are extending forge to either streamline/prioritize some of the loading mechanics. They likely throw in some JVM args as well so Java doesn't crumple under the 100+ mods most of the packs have lol

I suddenly realized I have forgotten to recommend the most important mod ever... MOB TALKER!

[Remilia Scarlet]

Latest version is for 1.5 so we wouldn't have been able to include it anyway :P

[Redleaf64]

Yeah, thats what I was worried about. It doesn't seem to update.

Hello!
Have you tried using the Quiverbow mod? It adds various guns with .... interesting ammo like potatoes, seeds, gold (a certain shrine maiden would love this, and besides, more uses for gold!) and whatnot.
And, it adds no new blocks/mobs! Just bits and parts from vanilla blocks.

[Teshno]

I want this modpack

But FTB does not like me

[Sssgth]

Cool! But the server is just lame-old survival, so make it more "Touhou-esque."

[Luna Pixu]

@Sssgth
>Has Touhou Items Mod and Alice Dolls Mod
>People still ask for more Touhou

How can we make it even more "Touhou-esque" than what we already have? Build another Gensokyo?

[Nuclearblt]

I has question. Some crafting recipes are derp (some orbs from touhou items and the diamond drill) how do we craft them? On nei the crafting recipe for the diamond drill doesn't work

Also nether=ULTIMATE HELL OF DESTRUCTION, PAIN, AND DEATH

[S121]

But The Nether is supposed to be hard. After all, Hell is supposed to be hell.

Just as long as you have fire potions, you should be fine from the Cinders and Lobbers, as well as the lava and fire. To be honest, I would recommend bringing a friend, or having some sort of escape plan, like having a portal gun with you that is already linked to the Overworld.

To be honest, I love the Lycanites mod. It makes the game more challenging, keeping you on your toes when you travel. Not only that, the monsters are cool looking.

[Remilia Scarlet]

I'll be fixing the crafting derps this week.

I'm extremely iffy about removing Lycanites because as mentioned, the nether is SUPPOSED TO BE HARD. Without lycanites, the nether is mostly a joke on vanilla and with all these mods that give you better equipment, it becomes a flat out joke. Just put on some strong leggings, longfall boots, a jetpack and one of the many OP helmets and equip yourself with some magic wand that kills anything within a 10 mile radius. Lycanites actually makes the nether formidable and doesn't make the twilight forest the only difficult area.

Not sure if you're still planning on possibly adding any more mods, but another I have found that "may" be a thought is the underground biomes mod. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPXpukAGqTE

A friend was looking at your server, and I wanted to check out the thought process that goes into the modpack. Read the whole thread. Some things stood out, though.

Can't find any mod called MikuCraft or MikuMaids. Otherwise every other mod has been added to the list in the OP with relevant distribution statuses and such.

For what it's worth, I think I found your MikuMaids in an episode of GameChap.

Link from the video here, but fair warning, it's Japanese. Also, it appears to be an addon to Little Maids. Also, it's all about vocaloids, so I don't even know how relevant/serious a suggestion it was.


On a side note, I see Mystcraft on your list. There are a couple of addons to let you see where you're going with that one.

Link Destination Renderers or Dynamic Link Panels

The main difference is that LDR has static images, while DLP uses an animated panoramic view of the destination. Also, LDR is older and more stable, but more limited, while DLP has a bit more fancy tricks it can do (like always having a current, up-to-date view of the destination) but is newer and still has some kinks to work out. Either is a great addition, it's just a matter of preference.

(Oh, and Chisel and Carpenter's Blocks are amazingly great for building.)

Ah, so MikuMaids is an addon to Little Maids. At this point, I don't think I'll be adding Little Maids so MikuMaids probably won't make it in. (And Japanese is no problem. I'm a native.)

As for LDR/DLP, this certainly looks like a useful addon and I'll give both a thorough look-through as I continue tweaking the modpack for a v2 release.

Thanks for the research and suggestion!
