new day, new update, and today we start of with a new mod by @dmillerw which is called TooMuchLoot
dmillerw said:
If you've played any of the recent mod packs out there, or have compiled your own, you may have noticed that many mods put items that don't necessarily belong in the various loot chests found in Minecraft (dungeon chests, bonus chests, etc). The unfortunately reality is that as more and more mods add these unnecessary items, it lowers the chance of getting those items you actually want. That's where this mod comes in.

The concept and implementation is simple. When the mod first runs (and any time after, to keep things updated) a list is compiled of all the dungeon loot registered. A simple config file is then generated which lists all these items, as well as where they spawn. You can then toggle whether or not any of these items spawn at your leisure.

The config file in question can be found in the standard config folder, under "TooMuchLoot/MainConfig.cfg".

At the moment, this implementation is quite simple, but the ability to have more fine grained control over dungeon loot is in the works. I just wanted to get this release out to get some initial feedback.

Future Plans:
* Ability to modify spawn amount + rarity of defined items
* Ability to add new items to be generated via simple .json files


Example:
[font=Verdana, Geneva, Tahoma, sans-serif][background=rgb(232, 239, 244)]
93GVM.png
[/background]
[/font]

Here you can see that apples are prevented from spawning in the bonus chests.

I love mods like these. They can have a massive effect on your game play experience. Good job @dmillerw.

For those who follow Reika's mods, I gather that this new turbine is supposed to replace or subvert the existing turbine which currently produces a ton of steam block spam.

I built one last night in a test world (took a while, lots of layers); upon completion, I fired up a fission plant, and had little or no fps impact.

Love the concepts behind TooMuchLoot (finally can get rid of a lot of "junk" that some mods add) and SpiceofLife. Will be trying them out!

Seems kind of unbalanced and out of character of TiC.
Travelers gear isn't armor, it's clothing, aimed at moving around quicker. You also forget that because this feature is built into the armor itself, it inhibits invisibility from the start, If you get close to a mob with that much armor, they will spot you, but it will prevent zombies from the hundred mile radar they got in 1.6.4, Not only that this effect is only active when sneaking and wearing that piece, which is also the piece that throws away most of invisibility utility away.

Each piece has a certain amount of upgrades that can be places, much like tools do, and it becomes a manner of choosing "what will help me travel more?" Don't judge it before you have actually used it. It's armor that's different from the standard meat sheild tactic... It's also a fairly nice alternative to those that want something to explore the world with, without going full blown king of all , unkillable to all, set of armor that takes hours upon hours of work. You take this into a dungeon, trying the normal tactics, you will die...

No... Or atleast.. It shouldn't... If you are somehow managing that, I'd report that immediately... But the gist of the armor upgrades are aimed towards, maneuverability, and dealing with obstacles at the cost of armors protection. You can walk on water, fall from extreme heights, slowfall, climb walls, mine quicker, decrease knockback when hit by something, ascend slopes easily... Etc, Etc. It has allot of neat features that actually have me wanting to switch out boots of the traveler to be completely honest.. legitimately walking on water is absolutely huuuuuge!

Not replace. It requires a massive amount of steam, meaning it will not even turn if attached to anything other than a fusion reactor or a very large fission reactor.

It also has multi jump I believe. Like the name implies it's for travailing not fighting. It's the Indiana Jones set.
