    Request Suggest mods for creation here

    How interesting is following mod (taken from minecraft forums): Custom Spawners - adds mechanics for obtaining mob spawners for most vanilla mobs. Usage: obtain a "Chunky" enchantment from a librarian; enchant your weapon with it; killing mobs with this enchantment makes them drop Chunks. The...

    My loss of faith in humanity

    Yeah, like "what the ..., man?" He's advertising a server like in a first thread he found. Anyway, that "lawsuit" demonstrates how intelligent a large part of minecraft community is.

    Another "lesson" for beginners/intermediates. Have you ever wanted to detect whether an entity is within player's view? I have, so I dug enderman's code where he detects when a player is looking at him. Its logic is scattered across the class, so I had to gather only relevant code and compile it...

    Ok, some snippets wouldn't hurt me, I guess. If I come up with a nifty feature or encounter some interesting problems, I'll be sure to show it. Today, I'm willing to share a piece of code for beginners which might save them some trouble when working with Containers. Yes, those classes that are...

    Blog of a lonely developer

    I looked at ActualAdditons code, where its Experience Solidifier is coded. There is a comment that says its experience conversion functions were excerpted from EnderIO. Interesting, because I already knew that those EnderIO's functions were taken from OpenBlocks. So I went and looked at...

    Blog of a lonely developer

    I've seen some people expressing interest in the process behind mod development. Having started proper mod making in 2013, I can tell some things about that. So here goes something. ============================================================================== Currently trying to make a mob that...

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    That depends on amount of mods and their features used. Vanilla minecraft is not intensive at all.

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    One thing that bothers me about Mansions that they happen to spawn very far from player, sometimes few thousand blocks away. This makes cartographers nearly useless to me; I want librarians only. At least they could assign cartographer profession to another villager type...

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    A thing that irks me today is... pigs. Started a fresh world, exploring the map, and I encounter pigs everywhere - not a single chicken, cow or sheep. Only pigs. If someone wants to check out this world, the seed is -3945781260784236267. I got only 1 wool so far - from a village torch post.

    I think it's not vanilla behavior. Some mod certainly can add such generation.

    Modded server pack maintenance

    So it is twitch app that Windows users use nowadays, right? Asking because I'm on Linux, haven't booted Windows for a while.

    Modded server pack maintenance

    I'm seeking for advice on modded server creation. I would like to know some opinions whether it is preferable to provide players a ready modpack or let them download mods themselves. On one hand, ready pack is easier for players, but it requires the server owner to maintain the pack. On the...

    What do you use AE2/RS for?

    Heh, I'm playing a world currently without AE2 and RS and I have only 4 blocks for storage - guess I'm not a hardcore player anymore.

    What do you use AE2/RS for?

    Autocrafting, too. Tried both mods - RS is now preferable for me for its simplicity. For storage, I keep 2 blast resistant boxes with External Storage attached with high priority, the rest items go into either a storage block or drive. I also try to keep some fuel in these boxes in case the RS...

    Yes, there is one, called "Fine Stuff". It has a Launcher which can shoot arrows, potions and TNT. The mod isn't on the curseforge, though.

    Time to learn AE2!

    Yeah, I made an acceptable progress in AE2 by now, and it definitely is much slower than RS. Although it has some differences I like. AE2 is suitable for "grindy" players.

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    Nevermind now, I made a workaround for crank check, now the crank is automatable.

    Time to learn AE2!

    A day? Damn, does the time increase with the stack size or not? I started playing with AE2, too.
