    It's a cheshire rose, apparently from simple oregen. My running theory is that they spawned to celebrate the first day of spring? I'm not sure, but there are hundreds of them all over my base and surrounding areas and they were not there before. If you cook them, they actually give you "heart...

    This should probably go in tge "cool things" thread, but it's a twist on my cheese and whine fest about not getting any diamonds. But anyway, I have no idea why, bit I come back to my base for the first time in a while, and it's covered in these flowers that give me regen when I walk over...

    I'm literally doing it because I want to look at a 100x100x100 block, just to better comprehend a million (that's 1 million blocks in the smallest amount of space possible). I am a super nerd. I'm also doing it because the BC quarry is hypnotic and I can do this project while I re-watch Game of...

    It does look interesting. I've never done Gregtech, though, I don't know enough about it to know if it's any good. But the stuff about starting on the floating island and having to progress your way to the overworld was neat. My friends won't let me play this one, though, I'm sure.

    Probably because it'd get more exposure there and because posting here has probably been nothing but a headache for them.

    I thought you guys were supposed to know everything! lol Edit: posted same time as Reddis, this was in response to my own question :p

    So, I was NOT just whining (not JUST whining) the other day when I was talking about not being able to find diamonds. It turns out, in my mining world does NOT spawn diamonds. I know this because instead of building things like a normal minecrafter, I've spent the last week or so just digging...

    Yup, I wasn't trying to be snarky, either. I keep looking for the perfect pack, and that just doesn't exist, so I make my own. There are so many packs out there that there's no chance anyone has played them all long enough to get bored, so the issue isn't the packs. It's the player's expectations.

    When all available options out there don't appeal to you, it's time to start your own pack. Anyone can do it.

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    Speaking of underground airlocks, I've discovered that Architect Mod (the blueprint mod, not the one that cuts blocks) is able to place blocks in water. I've been using it to make aquaducts around my base. Build a frame, fill the would-be empty space with sand or gravel, then place the...

    THERE ARE NO DIAMONDS IN MY WORLD!!! lol This is a lie, I'm the only one on the server who hasn't found one yet. I am using a custom map, so it's probably normal that they're rare there, but I also cannot find them in the Aroma mining world or the nether, with nether ores and netherex...

    Most stable Minecraft version for a modpack?

    I haven't actually installed it yet, lol. But I've always wanted to try it. It had some compatibility issues with optifine, so I kept deleting it before I got started. I will add it in soon, though. I don't know when I'll get started with it though. I'm still having fun mining with my trusty...

    Most stable Minecraft version for a modpack?

    Well, that's the second part of my problem. I keep slightly changing up what I want here. Two modpacks ago, Actually Additions was a welcome mod. I've just found that it so completely overshadows the early game that I forgot how to even start a game on vanilla anymore. But, other than the drill...

    Most stable Minecraft version for a modpack?

    I appreciate that. I have been wanting to do a real hard more for forever. I get out ores by my casual friends. I complain about them, but it's nice to play with friends. But they can't handle a hard pack. We tried once. Infinity Evolved. I was loving every second of it, but before long, they...

    Most stable Minecraft version for a modpack?

    Ok, I'll try adding railcraft. I was kinda worried for a 5% chance that it'd replace vanilla carts with something that wouldn't work. Honestly, if signals works at all like Factorio, it's probably all I need to get started, but if they work well together, that'd just be a bonus. That's also a...

    Most stable Minecraft version for a modpack?

    Well apparently, we're keeping enderIO since my friends have no taste but they're good at stomping their feet and demanding things they know nothing about.

    Most stable Minecraft version for a modpack?

    The vision is to have the world feel practical. It's rough terrain, so it's just difficult enough to traverse that it promotes building walkways and tracks. I don't think I want it to progress to the point where I would even need the high end stuff. I want all practical mining, exception being...

    Most stable Minecraft version for a modpack?

    well, I thought about that but I didn't like it for 2 reasons: 1) That's a whole bunch of work and there's still other OP parts of EnderIO 2) More complex crafting will just make me regret removing Refined Storage, and that will cause me to once again make myself superman-level OP 15 hours into...

    Most stable Minecraft version for a modpack?

    EnderIO definitely needs to go. I allow for things like extra utils as long as the angel ring is disabled, but EnderIO basically makes everything else I do completely obsolete. I'll never make a multiblock crusher if I can just make a basic SAG mill and have enough sand to encase the entire...

    Most stable Minecraft version for a modpack?

    I had railcraft on there but I wasn't sure if it would be compatible with a different mod I wanted to try first, signals. That and railcraft wasn't available for 1.12 last time I played so I wasn't sure if I wasn't getting a buggy alpha or something. I can add it back in if you're vouching for...
