What's new in modded minecraft today?

[RedBoss]

This... So many people got tripped up by that censored orb... That thing was a horrible decision... It may be getting the youtube spotlight, but those spotlighting it on youtube for the censored version, are pretty much missing the main, and important step... I saw atleast ten comments asking "I tried that, but it gave me a dagger instead."

Wow, I had no idea. That's sad.

Also just kinda wondering, anyone know if solstice had been updated, or will even be continued to be maintained?

Pahimar has plans to continue development. People sometimes forget that modders are people too; sometimes things get in the way.

Woot, just as I was about to push the latest version of my 1.7 pack to my testers. Good save. (I had your mod disabled due to some server bug, so lets see if it is fixed)

I swear I saw it reported in the MCF topic so I didn't report it. I'll send you a report if it comes back

The fix that triggered this synchronized released is #1855.

The following list is for fixes only applying to 6.0.16:

#1854 fix tile marker crash [Prototik]

I don't get the whole orb thing. The mod isn't even that gory. The only thing I can consider gore is the altar with its pool of blood. But seriously, it's not like it's showing you prick your finger, there's some redstone particles and life essence appears in the altar. The fact that the only indication of damage is a numeric health bar severely dampens any sort of gore. One could say similar things about swords. When you hit a pig with a sword, there's no blood spilled. There's not a huge gash in the pig's back. No. It looks fine and healthy, but its health has still gone down. The dagger of sacrifice isn't even censored! You still kill things with a knife to get essence!

 

[Revemohl]

That and the whole mod is called Blood Magic after all. If you're going to censor it, why not just remove all the blood and turn it into Magic? I've never understood why people tend to get so worried about that mod.

so there's this cool mod called magic,

 

[Yusunoha]

Some people were actually having flashbacks when it was a knife only. It isn't the gore (how could it be?), but the knife itself.

Shows I can't please everyone, even if it is a freaking config option...

Nah, I was just a bit lost, I was looking for it the other day, and the main results were this thread, the modjam page, and the discussion on this forum. I was a little bit nervouse and thought it might have just been a project for modjam and get shelved, or passed on for continued development of EE.

Lets say that an arbitrary 5% of your user base doesn't like the mod; out of that 5% assume that 20% (1/100^th of the user base) are going to be vocal about it (and always will be). Assuming that these two previous values are relatively constant, more complainers only means that your mod is getting more popular >.>

Yup, true, didn't think of it that way!

 

[Flipz]

Jadids blood. That where we can grind up plants to fuel the alter?

Edit: The above was a joke.

It's not a bad idea really. I'd much rather kill plants than animals.

Psst, if you grow Mandrakes from Witchery, you actually can kill plants to fuel your altar, if you don't mind 15-20 seconds of Nausea II per kill. :wink:

 

[Revemohl]

Or you could get some zombie and skeleton spawners near your altar and sacrifice them to get blood out of undead things.
No idea how that works but at least they aren't animals.
and now I think I know why this topic gets derailed so easily

Hay now undead abominations are people to.
Note to self suggest baby skeleton mobs. And non hostile zombie villages. That you can trade with.

Technically, no. Skeletons are most likely the results of some necromancer's tinkering and are controlled directly by said necromancer, and therefore do not have any consciousness, or they're revived and have a standard-issue intelligence. Its mind is the same as every single other skeleton revived in the same manner. It would be different if they were liches, but they aren't.

Zombies, on the other hand, are dead. They used to be people but aren't now. unless they're villagers, they cannot be cured. At all. The zombie used too be a human, with hopes, dreams, ambitions, loves, hates, etc. but was killed by a zombie and got converted. Since there is no way to cure them, you would be doing the zombie a service by killing it. Or at least whoever the zombie used to be.

A zombie village would be freaking epic, though.

You can cure zombie villagers. And the skels could be animated by there original souls. Being the result of a world wide necromatic accident. As if dead souls could never rest and the especially powerful ones could maintain there mindes.
