I had the idea of a thread for people to talk about memorable first experiences with different modpacks. I will start with my Magic World 2 I atarted a few minutes ago:
Presented by Greentext!
> be me
>be playing magic world 2
> starts chopping down trees after exitting ym spawn ravine and utilizing a bonus chest axe
> hear strange sounds
>gets hurt
>turns around
> fanmade enderman
>turns back around
> gets down to half a heart
> NOPENOPENOPE.jpg
>pauses game
>switches difficulty
> makes this thread

Hooray for greentext!
Share your moments of first times.

>Go on creative and randomly generate worlds to find a good seed.
>Found one, OH MY LOOK AT THAT AMAZING MOUNTAIN + MEADOW!!!
>Instantly write down seed and start a survival world with it.
>Wait...wha! I'm in a forest on top of a mountain thingy! (Highlands World Generation)
>Do some failing parkour down the mountain.
>Reach the bottom and see that MEADOW + MOUNTAIN!!! :D
>Build my base!

-Generate world
-Know what to do cause I watch Youtube vids
-Go into cave
-Mine for several hours
-Make nether portal and Philosopher's Stone
-Make trans table
-Explore for long time
-Find taint biome and explore taint biome
-Subsequently ambushed by a pack of corrupt sheep
-Rageqquit while screaming

Tartarus.. I mean at work. Same thing really.
Sees new modpack- seems ok.
  • Wait an hour for pack to download. (drink coffee, tinker in my BTW world)
  • Wait an hour for pack to boot up (more coffee, look at a few mod wikis)
  • Set GUI size to normal again. Set controls AGAIN!
  • Start new world.
  • Get horrendous eye bleeding as every mod adds its own HUD display.
  • Close MC
  • Remove all excessive mod HUD related stupidity.
  • Tinker with config files to hide more of this useless information.
  • Reboot, wait another hour (just another cup, break into another pack of choccy biscuits)
  • Configure remaining in game options to remove more HUD clutter.
  • Start playing.
  • Minecraft crashes.
