I created this thread as I didn't see a discussion area for the new 1.12 packs... If needed, please feel free to move or delete this if it's out of place.
I just loaded and spent about a half hour with the new Unstable pack... It's got some interesting additions, such as a new Village Testificate, the "Crystallyzer", who has a house with the basic Actually Additions setup... Too bad you can't loot the gear, but you can still use it.
It's also got some 'gotchas', which is to be expected. What I found is by no means world shattering, but something has broken Vanilla.
I routinely use the "Options" settings on world creation to configure the Vanilla world specs, primarily to completely remove "Andesite" from the world... It looks too much like an illegitimate child of smoothstone and gravel to me
.
In this Unstable pack Andesite still spawns anyway.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
BTW, in the customized world type you can change just about anything... Spawn levels/amounts for Vanilla resources, what kind of structures you will allow to spawn, etc. Not that I've ever bumped my chances for Diamonds and such...![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

1) Select "More World Options" when creating the world
2) Select "World Type". Toggle to the "Customized" selection. Note: This is the button you use to select Biomes O'Plenty.
3) There are 4 screens here. The second screen has settings for all the vanilla block spawns, with Level info, Cluster Size, etc. I Set the Andesite "Spawn Tries" to 0.
