I just thought I'd toss this in here since it's related: the new CurseForge site interface is pretty slick. I used to like the mod page on Curse.com better, but the CurseForge one is way cleaner and polished now. Nice job on that.

I've made mods both out of what I want to see in the game, as well as from not wanting to have to wait on the bigger mods to update for me to have certain functionality. Don't worry about reinventing the wheel, just make what sounds fun to you, and worry about whether you want to release it...

What a weekend! I've never competed in Ludum Dare before, but I'm pretty happy with my results. I know there's other developers around here, but I don't know if anyone else participated, so I thought I'd just make a topic so that anyone can share what they made. Mine is Gems of the Deep.

Running in a virtual machine as Java does will always restrict speed and introduce the overhead that you mentioned. But unfortunately all of these extra layers is where a lot of development is headed. Unity/.NET/C#/etc is making that kind of approach fairly mainstream these days, dragging...

McDonalds executives have their top men secretly studying this technology, trying to figure out if their apple pies will work as a substitute for the golden apple.

In terms of performance I'd completely agree. Java is a lot faster than it used to be but it will never compete with native code. But disassembling Java is light years easier than disassembling something like C, and that's even still true despite Minecraft being obfuscated. If you want an...

Yeah I realize that I misinterpreted your point. I like your attitude about it though. It's more often that I see "CLOSED-SOURCE IS THE DEVIL, I REFUSE TO USE IT" rather than "I prefer free software, but I'll use proprietary software when it suits me." Honestly though I think even the...

Ah right, I forgot, it's just supposed to supplement the official Mojang launcher. I don't think the official Mojang launcher is even free/open-source. Just some of the associated libraries.

The problem with taking this position is that Minecraft is not free or open-source, nor are many of the mods, including ones used in FTB. There are even various mods which are open-source but not "free". Some mods even rather hypocritically state that you can't even disassemble them, despite...

Iron Chests or InventoryTweaks. I don't particularly enjoy the other mods as much if I don't have a reasonable place to store things, or am always fumbling through inventories to sort them, or always having to swap in tools when they break (especially in the middle of a fight).

IC2 laser, perhaps?

The mob sounds are the best part. The chicken in particular cracked me up. I still need to find them all.

It's not just your skins. Everyone should load up vanilla 1.7.5 to get the full extent of the villager takeover.

I never even realized the name overlap. Who knows how many of the ones I've seen are actually playing your pack, then. I've heard that mods don't tend to work when Forge isn't installed, so you may be onto something! I think people know less about what MCP is that Forge, even, despite that...

Twitch streamers are a similar thing. After Bacon Donut put Hopper Ducts into Sky Factory it saw a huge jump in downloads. This is despite the fact that it's disabled by default, which is also the only reason I ever even knew it was popular because for what ever reason ATLauncher then pulled...

I would agree that fairness and popularity don't always go hand in hand, which makes it tricky, but I'm at least glad to see Curse has already taken the issue into consideration. Giving modders full download credit for what's in packs is definitely reasonable, especially since the mod is...

So we've seen the goodies that Technic's new launcher/platform will offer, but I think there's one thing which Technic would still lack compared to the proposed Curse system: modder rewards. Though that got me thinking about Curse and the reward points system in regards to modpacks, as well as...

Just earlier today Biomes O' Plenty proved to be a nuisance for me from wasps right near my nether spawn. PRO TIP: Don't shove a bunch of TNT into the hive and think "this is going to be great." Because it's not going to be great. It's going to be terrible.

I'd suggest specifically learning how to use Tinkers' Construct. Watch Dire's spotlight, read the wiki, read the books it gives you in-game, etc. Make you some good starter tools, and as soon as you have the resources, upgrade to a tool forge so that you can make you a hammer. Then you can go...
