not sure i'm asking the right question so a bit of background first:
i’m launching an altered version of direwolf20 (v10.0.23) minecraft version 1.6.4, i’ve removed the following mods -
buildcraft
billund
compact solars
computercraft
den lib
den pipes
factorization
forestry
forge multipart
gateCopy
gravity gun
ic2 experimental
journeyMap
logistics pipes
magic bees
mffs calclavia
modular power suits
morph
nuclear control
openPeripheral corw
qcraft
railcraft
redstone arsenal
sync
steve’s carts
switches
translocators
twilight forest
wireless redstone
witchery
and added these -
secret rooms
lycanites mobs
orespawn
then i generate the world and added Lanteacraft (added after generation because i didn’t want the lanteacraft ores generating).
my aim is to have lanteacraft link different worlds together and not have them available via the mystcraft game mechanics.
to this end i have created a bunch of worlds with mystcraft, placed a lanteacraft portal in each one, destroyed the linking books and replaced every instance of “true” in the mystcraft config file with “false”.
now i have the worlds which can only be visited via lanteacraft because players cannot craft mystcraft items…
i’ve been thinking about ways to let people discover gate addresses, firstly i though the obvious choice is the mystcraft pages found in mystcraft generated buildings (as the buildings/loot will generate anyway (actually not sure about the loot but i saw a building
) to make them a bit less pointless but i didn’t realise about the way the pages are built, thought i’d just edit the pics.
secondly i thought maybe i could add a bunch of pre-written books to random chest loot, i had a look at “custom chest loot” this sounded great, maybe i’ve not worked it out properly but it seems i’m unable to achieve my goal with this mod as the “custom” part only includes item that are already in game
(maybe add another mod here?)
thirdly i thought the paintings artwork could be utilised but can’t work out if any of the mods i’ve now got generate them “naturally”, i know the twilight forest mod does but also i’m thinking this would only work if i removed the crafting recipe for paintings and made them into “non-droppable objects”, this sort of thing is obviously well beyond my ken so i’m asking here incase anyone has a better way of thinking about it.
also i’d really rather not have the mystcraft stuff even visible in nei as well as a few other things from various mods and can’t work that out
so my simple question is how can i let people find gate addresses in a way that’s not going to be too simple/easy for them to find them all but very simple for me to set up?
