Coming back to MC

[Dentvar]

Hi guys,


I stopped playing MC this summer. Last World was 1.4 Ultimate and now I’m thinking of coming back and give it another try.


Though I can´t find any clear Info here in Forum about what is the current state of the ModPack. Is it still stuck at 1.5 Unleashed/Unhinged?


I started a Unleashed world Offline just to see what’s new(3 month ago) and I liked it. But if there is any new version it would be a waste to start in 1.5


Generally I liked GT a lot since it makes everything harder and you can´t rush through everything that fast. But Unleashed didn’t bring it as a default mod and adding it would unbalance a lot of things I guess.

Unhinged leaks a lot of mods I would like to have.


May you help me?

1.6 is due fairly soon, that one has to be your call. I play unleashed plus gregtech and it makes a great pack.

 

[Dentvar]

define "fairly soon"
Weeks, Month? and is there any worthy update?

 

[wildc4rd]

There is lots of new good stuff, yes. Thaumcraft and thermal expansion have both had a great deal of work done, as has industrialcraft.

Soon is really anyone's guess, but I would guess weeks not months.

Ok thanks. Since there would not be any release of 1.6 soon enought for me(I can not wait once I get a think in my Head ) At least is there any secure information outIf the 1.5 world would be importable to 1.6?

 

[wildc4rd]

There are so many changes to some big mods, as well as the way liquids are handled, I would (again) guess it will be a nightmare!

If you don't want to wait, the new vanilla launcher and the one-click Forge installer make it a breeze to set up and play your own modded instances.

I posted about it here: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/blank-ftb-unleashed-to-1-6-2.32963/#post-453894

I think I will give 1.5 a try. At worst I start again at 1.6 now that I know more or less how things work it won´t be that hard like when I first played MC and started out right with 1.4.7 Ultimate xD
Anything to have in mind if I add GT to it or just enable it and go? No config tweeks nothing?

 

[wildc4rd]

Some people report id conflicts, I dropped it in without a hitch. Should be fine, enjoy!

I'd also put my bet on weeks, seeing as TE3 is in beta right now and will probably be officially released within a week.
but in the meantime you can just keep playing what you're playing now, but if you don't mind having to restart within a few weeks, you could try playing a custom modpack

The new Direwolf20 1.6.x pack is ready according to Dire's News, episode 6 or 7 I think... He just wants to wait for the new FtB launcher before releasing it so people can get the pack and any of the worlds he's using in videos in one easy location.

Hi again,

so now Direwolf launched his 1.6 pack I will start again. I forgot a bunch of stuff over the half year I didn´t played and I see that the most parts of the Wiki are not up to date.
What is the best source about the new mods? I think ic2 for example changed a lot. Do I have to go to the mod spesific wiki/website or is there any other recomended site?

Also as sidequestion, Gregtech is acctualy not compatible with 1.6 Direwolf as far as i could see in the Forum here. So I will hit "endgame" very soon don´t I? Or maybe is there a other mod that makes it more difficult I dind´t noticed?
and yes I know "endgame" is what I want it to be but you know were I want to go!

A good source of info on the mods is from the DireWolf himself. He recently started his single player LP based on his 1.6 pack, and he's doing a good job of explaining everything he's doing so almost everyone with a basic understanding of Minecraft can understand him.

In regards to GT, you mentioned the last time you played was back in 1.4. GT is a totally different beast now, going from "adds tons of cool new machines for the endgame" to "total conversion of the entire modded Minecraft experience," and it's become a very polarizing topic whenever it comes up. Theoretically, with the proper version of IC2 Exp, you can get a compatible version of GT up and running, but expect it to a VERY different experience than what DireWolf presents in his Let's Play series.

ok, saw some of the GT changes and I think its not anymore what I´m looking for and I will try with the Direwolf 1.6.4 as it comes.
Anyway the Lets plays are a good source of info if you have time spare and want to be always a step behind him.
And you just learn the mod he is going into. There is not index that says S6E4 minute 3 is IC2 and minute 10 is TC or such thing.

So I think I will have to go testing around alot acctualy isn´t that bad since its one of the parts I liked most back in 1.4
