So im on a FTB server with a friend of mine and i had to travel to 3 different nether fortresses to find netherwart. all in the name of getting an autospawner working, although potions are a nice bonus.

Then i go to capture a wither skeleton to farm wither skulls for. Get him np. omw out i kill a bunch of stupid things in my way and i get a spoils bag, blaze rods, magma cream, etc.

i setup the spawner turn it on and start collecting wither skulls. after getting 2 im outta essense. I goto my base to plant the rest of the netherwart i got and i dump the spoils bag into a chest. Check the chest to see whats inside and low and behold there is a Bacon Portal gun.

The whole reason i went to the nether in the 1st place was to farm for a nether star for the portal gun. This completely sidesteps all my work. At least we can get my friend a portal gun. and work on a fully powered beacon.

Anyone else have a similar story? Doing a bunch of work that in 1 moment is made completely meaningless. It makes a good storing though.

I see what he means, though.

Very little in MineCraft isn't a waste of time. We get entertainment from convincing ourselves otherwise, working towards goals, and congratulating ourselves / each other when we reach them.

But then a mod comes along which pulls aside the curtain and makes it painfully obvious just how pointless all your efforts really are. DartCraft is one of those Monty Haul mods, and it takes away a lot of the enjoyment you'd otherwise get from other mods.

Sure, if you've played through them all before it's sometimes nice to have a "shortcut" up their tech trees. But while you're still in the "enjoying your achievements" phase of MineCraft, excessive freebies really detract from the experience, and DartCraft really pours it on - mobs dying in sunlight drop those loot bags. Heck, I got my last one off one of those nether flame bats dive-bombing me - I was just walking along, didn't even know it was there, and boom! Loot bag goes into my inventory. I didn't even do anything for it.

Thankfully, that's fixed in the latest version:
Basically, spoils bags are no longer dropped by anything. Now, in order to get them, you need to combine four of the same type of card, for different tiered spoils bags. The only way to get these cards, is through killing mobs using a force sword with an expensive DartCraft enchantment. So yeah, no more random or automated spoils bags.

yeah finding portal guns in chests should really be turned off, it's by far the most valuable/expensive item possible in loot and so common too.

So now you can use the nether star to make a promised land portal right or a beacon or (dependant what mods you may have loaded) some other use. So in fact it's not wasted time at all in fact what it has done is given you incentive to use it for something else :D
