After not playing Minecraft in a while, this is what I logged into. :P
That was a lot of killing to get rid of all of them.

Additionally, we cheated a little bit with this modpack FTB Legend of the Eyes to finish all the endgame grindy quests so we could just go and fight the 3 end bosses and consider this pack done.

The 3rd end boss was pretty annoying. I guess it had to compensate for the 2nd end boss which was ridiculously easy to beat. :P

We're going to try another modpack now.

Clearing out a cultist wooden mansion atm. What the heck are those cultist quacks worshipping?!
#Minecraft

Wow, The Lost Castle mod is amazing. A castle full of Evokers and Vindicators, it is huge. You can clearly see that it's a whole culty castle with distinct areas (brewery, armory, temple, etc). And everything is gorgeous to look at. They're obviously a very decadent cult! (As if their woodland mansions weren't already obvious)

Damn! That was a good trap! It didn't even involve a trapped chest so I thought I was safe! They sneakily used a comparator behind the chest! As soon as I removed it, a bunch of sand fell on top of me. Smart! :D
#Minecraft

My status in this modpack FTB Legend of the Eyes: I've so far collected 9 out of 12 eyes. Might see if I can get the rest tomorrow.

I've got a reasonably automated factory now, material shortage is a thing of the past. My armor and weapon are nicely beefed up, so I feel confident to take on those challenges. I just finished some big ones like slaying the pharaoh, and of course ransacking that pyramid afterwards. Always pillage and plunder! Even though I have no clue what to do with all that looted crap now. 😋.
#Minecraft

TIL that in Industrial Revolution, you don't _need_ servos or retrievers to filter the item pipes. Those are only required if you want to push/pull items out/in. Filtering can be done anywhere on those pipes.

Took me way too long to figure this out. Buddy didn't know either, lol.

Time to remove those gajillion retrievers and replace them for one servo at source instead. :P
#Minecraft

I decided to use this Minecraft Etho Hopper Clock and added some redstone links (wireless redstone signals) to control my timed crafting.

It works nicely now.

#Minecraft

Been busy the past hours trying to figure out how to craft with Minecraft physics. :P

All I really really _really_ want is a hopper with a filter. But all we have is uh.. well, nothing. No hoppers have filters in this modpack. Except for brass funnel from Create, but that leaves out half a water block and the filtered stuff needs to be immersed fully in water first.

Just gravity ain't enough because I carry a magnet and stuff is dropping at light speed and I really don't want to lose the convenience of a magnet here.

Might do something stupid with redstone, that's my next option. I really need a timer that's like.. 10 seconds or something, which is kinda a problem here as the only timer block this pack has is way too short. But if I can pull this off...

Man, I have a headache already. I bet rocket science is easier than this!
#Minecraft

This is a righteous mess. I think I need to reorganize my base. I'm too lazy, though. :P
#Minecraft #Games

Me riding a snow giraffe. Handy, now I can't get stuck in the powdered snow where you can 'drown' to the cold. That's apparently a feature introduced in 1.17, and the giraffe is from a mod Creatures from the Snow.

Managed to find the first Eye of many required to advance in this modpack Legend of the Eyes.
#Minecraft #FTB #FTBLegendOfTheEyes

Kinda got bored with FTB Skies, so we're going to try out some random modpacks the coming time. Will probably check out FTB Legend of the Eyes tomorrow. At least it's not a skyblock-ish pack, as I'm not really fond of those. I want to explore random stuff! I want to spelunk into dark caves and then lose my way when trying to get back up! That sorta thing.
#Minecraft

I have come to the conclusion that I absolutely hate Create, the Minecraft mod. It is so fucking cumbersome, and too 'realistic'. This won't work, too much friction, not enough power at source, too fast it'll overheat! And then trying to figure out the 1000 cumbersome ways just to get a fucking gear rotating.

I WANT MAGIC BOXES! I grew up with Applied Energistics and Thermal Expansion machines. That's what I want. Not a gajillion rotating things in my base that takes up the space of the whole base itself! And if something doesn't work, you gotta disassemble everything and then reassemble everything! Oh fuck that!

For those who say 'Git Gud', I've managed before to have ComputerCraft interact with the Create Crafters so I can autocraft shit. BUT I HATED IT! I don't want to mess with gears and shit. I want to be ... PLAYING the actual game, you know?

Mm, doubling my page file size seems to have helped. It was set at half my RAM, and is now upped to the same size. Vivaldi and Minecraft were having memory issues together even though I still had plenty of RAM available.

At least I seem to be able to use Vivaldi now while Minecrafting. *knocks on wood*
#Vivaldi #Minecraft

For some reason Vivaldi (the browser) and Minecraft (the game, naturally) can't play nice together. If one runs, the other crashes. 🤨

This is highly inconvenient. I might actually need to use Edge while playing Minecraft.
#Vivaldi #Minecraft

Ah, yes, of course, as if I'm not addicted enough to gaming. Buddy of mine feels Minecraft-y, and gave me a list of 4 modpacks and asked for my opinion.

Y'know, it's a good thing I actually have a 2-week holiday now. :P
#Minecraft #Gaming

A buddy pointed me to Vintage Story at https://www.vintagestory.at which is apparently a made-from-scratch game that largely looks like Minecraft but has their own engine, shaders, character models, etc. It originally was a total conversion Minecraft mod, but they decided to make their own game out of this.

Anyone got experience with this game? Apparently they already have over 700 mods. I'm tempted to try it out as it does look good from the trailers and let's plays.

The only thing I'm worried about is that I get motion sickness easily. I can get around that in Minecraft by having a higher FOV and turning off head bobbing. But I've read that this game can still induce motion sickness despite configuring around this, so that's still holding me back a bit.
#Games #Minecraft #VintageStory #MotionSickness

Just dealt with an invasion to my MineColonies village. It was big enough to draw attention of the baddies. There were 4 waves of mobs, progressively getting stronger. The last wave was especially annoying as those skeletons seemed to have ridiculously overpowered bows.

In the end I did prevail and got some nice loot out of it. I'm not sure my guard minions did a good job if at all. I guess I should start crafting some weapons and gear for them, heh.
#Minecraft #MineColonies #FTB #FTBInferno

Playing the MineColonies mod in this Minecraft modpack I'm playing really makes me want to play RimWorld... The idea is strikingly similar.

In MineColonies you work with prefab buildings that you can level up. And RimWorld is more customizable and more insane, but in 2D.
#Minecraft #MineColonies #FTB #FTBInferno #RimWorld

Definitely the season for Minecraft again. A friend suggested FTB Inferno to me and I have to say that's a great suggestion! Just look at how this story starts out! I would say that is pretty cool, but the Nether is a very hot place!
#Minecraft #FTB

Kinda annoyed that the world seed changed when the server software got updated... Now my base is inside of a slime chunk. And I can't seem to put it back on the right seed. -.-
