[1.7.10]Modular Mayhem

[Iskandar]

​

Multiblocks and modular technology are the focus of this themed modpack. Create complex and wonderful machines as well as magical creations as you explore a different side of modded Minecraft.

WARNING: Java 8 is REQUIRED. If you are running Java 7 and cannot upgrade you MUST remove Matter Overdrive or this pack will not run!

Fastcraft is recommended, but not included.

Pack Code: modularmayhem

A themed pack without quests or achievements, instead a different approach to modded Minecraft beyond the single block solutions so common now. Several new mods, plus a few more familiar. Relax, have fun and try something outside of your usual experience.

[Brenn_]

Looks interesting!

I'm looking forward to downloading this & trying it out.

 

[GerbShert]

This sounds like a really awesome pack!

 

[Eladkay]

I had tons of fun helping test this pack!
I'm sure you'll have as much fun as I had!

 

[Craig bruyson]

Another Iskandar Pack. I will be giving it a go,

 

[Iskandar]

ok everyone who installs this pack can you PLEASE read the first post? If you crash because you don't have Java 8 I WILL point and laugh.

 

[Pyure]

+1, big like, because this is a clever and original pack idea.

 

[Mirellie]

i havent really had long to test things out (5 hours) but i feel like AppleCore might be a nice quality of life thing to add. but deer god! the interactions between magneticraft, immersive engineering, engineer's toolbox!!!!!!!!

things to look at possibly:
unifying ores to have one of each type.
adjusting spawn heights of aluminum.
decrease drop rates from chromaticraft color trees.

if i find more things note worthy ill update or post again.

also nuclear monsters are scary!! great job on another fantastic pack!

 

[Iskandar]

The ores are unified, as much as they can be. There are a few duplicates to handle things not ore dctionary'ing correctly and to increase some resources without having to tinker too much with ore spawning. Aluminum comes in both aluminum and bauxite...which should cover most heights you need, as a for instance.

And I can't do a thing with t e drop rates of the trees. However, you will notice only 25% of the dyes they drop are vanilla.

[Mirellie]

is there a trick to finding sulfer? ive used 2 of the Router Reborn 5x5 pickaxes down at diamond level and have found just under a stack of it. ive found more veins of shiney metal than sulfer at this point.

 

[Iskandar]

Not really. It is y level 12 and below, and about 24 or so per chunk. And IE Crusher can get sulfur from blaze rods, at a 50% chance.

 

[Mirellie]

ah, so i just got bad luck with my nether. i spent about 30-45 minutes in there today without finding a fortress and i need to dig deeper for sulfer, fair enough.

 

[Iskandar]

Also, if you decide to silk touch a bunch of nether quartz you can also run it through the crusher for sulfer, but at 15%, so I'm not sure it is worth it.

 

[ZephyrWindSpirit]

I'm going to warn other pack players about crystal pylons. If you die next to one, the pylon will continue to attack Cyano's Lootable Bodies. It will destroy the corpse and you will lose your items. Just fyi, avoid those. I heard there was a way to config them to spawn being broken and safer, but you need a fast pickaxe and some decent health. They hit for a heart a hit at least.

That would be untrue. An empty body WILL get destroyed, but if there are any items still left it is invulnerable to all damage. It will get targeted, but can not be destroyed. And those pylons kind of need to be intact, they are the power source of Chromaticraft.

Well, maybe its a config for being invulnerable. The body had a full set of vanilla stone tools, some cobble, and a half stack of sticks, but nothing else. Still got destroyed. Just saying. I admit they are invulnerable to other things, but I'm not sure about pylon damages. I have heard the lootable bodies are not entirely invulnerable with another pack.

 

[Iskandar]

That...shouldn't have happened. They are set to not take damage from any sources and, despite that, have 50 hearts worth of health. That means, even empty, they take two or so minutes to destroy and being zapped does move the body about. I've been playing with both Chromaticraft and Lootable bodies and I've never had a problem recovering my stuff. Then again, I've also learned real quick that getting close to a pylon isn't the best idea. There is exactly one reason to get close to a pylon early game, to grab the unlock. Beyond that, you hear the hum, get away.

 

[Mirellie]

speaking of chromaticraft. is it that mod that creates a gravity/ wind effect near my base that stops jumping and slightly pushes me? and another question. are the super multi drills worth getting into? do they have an AoE that could help because the RR picks are very expensive for me right now.
