Reading the changelog on https://feedthebeast.atlassian.net/wiki/display/PML/Monster 1.0.3

First of all:
  • Disabled players dropping heads
Awwwh!! I had a wall covered in them! Was such a cute collection.

Second:
  • Removed OpenBlocks
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! WHY?!?! *cries* My awesome sprinklers and elevator blocks!!!

And finally .. it looks to me like changing from 1.0.1 jolly well demands a world reset.

Am I wrong in thinking that?

Did some research and testing the other day about upgrading 1.0.1 to 1.0.3 and it seems unlikely, but not technically impossible.

Stuff like the leaves from dyetrees simply disappear, and all openblocks stuff also disappear and is replaced with air (goodbye my awesome elevator)

There was also some case of block ID conflict with blood magic and biomes o plenty but fixing that was quick. I don't know if everyone would have to do this client side before joining the server though, that could prove a hassle.

It looked like the world generation was the same though, provided I copied the bop config files to the 1.0.3 config folder.

all in all I'm surprise at how much is just "Converted" in the world. First time I loaded 1.0.3 with the 1.0.1 world I forgot to activate biomes o plenty completely, but all that happened was that bop biomes was replaced with "Fields". This would alter the world generation however (of course) so newly generated terrain would have sharp ugly chunk-borders.

I still won't try upgrading to 1.0.3, partly because of open blocks, but I think there was something else I had trouble with that I forget now =)

Just add back in OpenBlocks. I have no idea why they removed it. It seems a bad decision as the mod dev is pretty easy to get in touch with and every single thing added by openblocks is disable-able by setting its ID to zero.

I know I can add it, but I guess it was removed for a reason (which eludes me honestly).

Anyone has a clue?

I looked it up. Seems it was the elevator block, just set that one's ID to zero in the config and hang glide like a boss.

Haha that's ironic. Without the elevator block, I'm actually not interested in OpenBlocks all that much!

Read somewhere that OpenBlocks could cause world corruption, but I don't know how or why.
Sure it's easy for me to add in OpenBlocks again, but everyone who wants to play on the server also have to do it manually which defeats the purpose of a modpack launcher.

I wonder, how hard is it to create a modpack of my own for the FTB launcher? Like using FTB monster with a few tweaks so it's tailored for my server and I can tell people "start FTB launcher, search for Tankh mod pack, and just go"

I read that random things has some sort of portable ender portal thing that does something similar in functionality. Lacking elevators, I still get a lot of usage out of openblocks tanks and the hang glider is pretty convenient.[DOUBLEPOST=1389105673][/DOUBLEPOST]

If you want to see the 1.5.x process, check out http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/forum/other-third-party-modpacks.48/

I don't know if they're doing the same thing for 1.6.x.

Yeah those sprinklers for example, are handy, and are cute as a button. They look lovely outside your window.

I had no real problem converting my server or single player world from .1 to .3. I just got left with a bunch of leafless trees and less one lava tank and a few elevators. I will miss those elevators and particularly those tanks, which I prefered over railcraft most of the time. One curious question tho... whats going to happen to the rainbow forest biome from dyetrees?[DOUBLEPOST=1389105871][/DOUBLEPOST]

I dunno about the ender porter from random things... I thought I read that it requires enderpearls as a fuel source... which are already in short supply.

With some luck, maybe 1.0.4 will be more compatible with 1.0.1 than 1.0.3 is :p

I really want to try out ProjectRed but I really don't want to reset server any time soon.

The Portable Ender Porter requires Ender Pearls, the stationary one doesn't.

I'm literally begging for enderpearls.

Good thing there's mimicry and magical crops to help keep the stocks up somehow.
