That is probably a good way to go about setting up the pack, thanks for the suggestion! I guess what I'm really trying to ask here is: 1) What other mods should I consider? 2) Is there a way to balance railroads to make them viable?

I've been playing with quite a few modpacks and I'm to the point now where I have a particular play experience in mind. If there is a third party modpack around like this already, great, but I suspect I will probably have to put this together myself somehow so I'm going to phrase this post with...

Well, no, I wouldn't say learn C unless you're serious about computer science in general. A scripting language like Lua or Python wouldn't be a bad start, as you can play with the basic concepts without needing a ton of setup. Actually... doesn't ComputerCraft run Lua? Hmm. You know, once I...

Neither of those are designed around object-oriented programming, which Java is all about. I think you can do OOP with Python, but I have little experience with it. That said, if you're looking to get a good sense for how to code, it's probably a good idea to start with procedural and...

The trouble with vanilla XP is, getting it is pretty much a dull grindfest. Such a mod would have to introduce some more interesting ways of getting it... Also, IIRC Mojang borked up enchanting in a recent update.

I hadn't seen that until today... looks interesting. I have half a mind to drop trying to learn to mod Minecraft and take up contributing to that. I don't have a ton of experience in game design, though I do like playing around with procedural generation. Edit: But then, kind of hard to...

I want to say Engineer's Toolbox might have something similar to what you're looking for, but it's not the easiest mod in the world to figure out.

Personally I prefer in-game documentation when it's done correctly and kept up to date. It's kind of obnoxious to exit fullscreen to pull up a wiki...

Leave your base and do something outside? There are lots of mods that add really cool worldgen stuff nowadays, there's probably a decent amount of exploring to do, especially if you're playing with Biomes-o-plenty or something. If you're playing multiplayer, go make some stuff for other people...

Pssht, design, thought, and ingenuity. Don't you know the point of the game is to climb tech trees using canned, out of the box solutions to invented problems? </sarc> It bugs me that some people seem to think exclusively in those terms in modded MC. They'll spend days holed up in their base...

Turrets that attack mobs? Sounds like a tower defense game in the making. Actually, just a simple mod that adds turrets, and mob spawners that create little minions that follow set paths and fight opposing minions would be neat... you've basically got everything you need for a MOBA right...

A Thaumcraft addon that lets you "embrace" the taint, giving you partial or full immunity to its ill effects and ways to encourage it to spread. It would be interesting for more role-play style servers, as people could then play the villan...

Related to that, the vast number of servers that are so loaded down with plugins, automatic chat spam asking for donations, random prizes and things, etc., that it ruins the feel of the game. Usually you can find one or two good, small servers (usually whitelisted) where people are friendly and...

Likewise, I should really learn how to mod with forge. I know Java fairly well, but modding requires a different skill set than writing something from scratch... doesn't help that I tend to bite off more than I can chew. But hey, whatever. An idea I had a while back but never really fleshed...

Believe in yourself. Not in the you who believes in me. Not the me who believes in you. Believe in the you who believes in yourself.

IGN:dmcklveen Age:22 Location i.e us, uk, france, etc.: US why should we white list you: I know a decent amount about most of the mods, and I really like working on projects for the community (i.e. public farms, railways, factories, etc).
