What's new in modded minecraft today?

[Not_Steve]

Don't think it's been mentioned, but my server is telling me that Mekanism has been updated to version 6.

He just released the Dev version as an official version

 

[PsionicArchon]

He just released the Dev version as an official version

Version 6 has been in development for a while now and, indeed it has just gone official.

For any other Mekanism fans, it's well worth the upgrade but, before making that leap I suggest you read the developer notes on Aiden's blog. If you have a massive network of cables, upgrading will make them all disappear, amongst other things. It also has some functionality issues when used in conjunction with IC2. Energy Cubes will not charge from IC2 cables and, any IC2 power generators may crash your game if you attempt to remove a cable while the machine is actively producing power.

Cable's work similarly to Energy Conduits now so they are significantly more server friendly (remarkably so). Like Energy Conduits they are now multiparts and, can be covered. Cables can be configured to respond to a redstone signal so all cables can function as splitter cables.

There's a boat load of other changes as well. I just thought I'd tip my hat to the Mekanism dev after that post about cables generating lag.

[Yusunoha]

new day, new update, starting of right away with ProfMobius who has an update for WAILAWAILA

Waila 1.5.0
Lot of new stuff, optimised stuff and fixed stuff.

CHANGELOG

Client

• Added Steve's cart module using the Entity API
• Added hidden Secret Doors
• Added hidden Carpenter's doors
• Added Harvestcraft crop support
• Added MagicalCrop crop support
• Added Statues support
• Added a "Sneak to see" config option. Data will be hidden unless you sneak.
• Fixed Project:Red overlay and FMP bugs.

Config & admin

• Config file is generated at start when the modules are loaded instead of when the options are changed.
• Config file is separated into 3 sections. General, modules and server_forcing.
• Config can be enforced by the server to a given value by setting the corresponding key in server_forcing to true.

Tooltip optimisation & fonctionnalities

• All parts of the tooltip, besides the actual rendering, is now done outside the rendering tick. Should solve the latest slowdowns.
• Tooltips now support some form of column based display and Left/Right justification.
• Tooltips can now support displaying icons (the set is limited right now but will be extended).

API

• Waila API is now a @API, so other mods shouldn't be able to mess it up when wrongly implemented.
• New entity API. It works like the Block API, with its own dedicated provider and accessor. The registration is done the same way too.
• New FMP API.
• Deprecated quite a few registration methods to be 1.7 ready.
• NBT syncing is not automatic anymore. You have to register the keys you want or "*" to register the whole tag tree. The command is IWailaRegistrar.registerSyncedNBTKey()
• Fixed a few bugs in the handling of providers.

If you enjoy my mods, you can become a patron here ! Many thanks !

next up, neptunepink with a few updates for Factorization

0.8.32

• Bug fixes & polishing.

0.8.31

• Added the 'probe' instruction:
• This is a sub-instruction of Shifter Control.
• It will push how many items match the item held by the servo.
• If the servo is holding no items, it should count all the items in the inventory
• Added the Pressure Generator. Many features!
• It has two settings: Suck/Blow, and the speed (off, slow, medium, fast)
• Pumps Liquid:
• Can drain from tanks and pump from the world, and fill tanks and spill to the world
• Generate Charge:
• Have a tank of steam at the back (such as from a Steam Boiler)
• Have a clear space in front of the Pressure Generator
• Apply a redstone signal to the generator
• This may work with other gasses...
• Blow Entities:
• If blowing, it can drop items from an inventory behind it.
• At slow speed, it will only blow items. Faster speeds can move mobs and players!
• Faster speeds have larger radius & distance.
• But only BlowEntities works on servos
• Barrels no longer render the enchantment glint.
• The caliometric burner now burns food at from ends.

0.8.30

• fixed apostraphe in license
• French localizations by WLCD!
• Changed servo inventory size to 1! It happened!
• Fixed servo & fan rendering causing signs to flicker
• Clicking on a servo with an instruction will cause that instruction to be executed immediately.
• Added instructions (and a decorator) for user-defined procedures.
• Some stacks have specific uses:
• White is the IO stack.
• Black is the error message stack.
• Yellow is the argument stack.
• Red is run on block entry if something else isn't already running.
• "Entry Action" can be used to read/write instructions to the servo rail
• "Scan Color" is a decorator that will read the color of the block the servo is facing. Works on wool, stained clay, and wheat.
• "Stack Transfer" pops a color, and moves stuff to/from the IO stack and that colored stack.
• "Run Stack" pops a color, and moves control to that stack. But there is no RET instruction!
• Silver ore nodes spawn 1 per chunk instead of 1 with 0.125-chance-for-an-extra per chunk

to sum the mod up...

 

[MoosyDoosy]

Looks a bit like the painting stencils. I must admit, being able to spray bullet holes and blood splatters around would be awesome for post-apocalypse map making.

True, but would probably be a PITA if you don't have some way to copy it. Large scale pictures? Oh god.

 

[MoosyDoosy]

Thaumcraft 4.1.0e bug fix announced. This one is for disappearing research clues.

Woo! Now my horrendous art skills can be seen by everyone around me! I call this a win in my book!

I'm not sure what is so horrendous about your art skills, when we played on wylds server that pagoda was epic. I even kinda bypassed your protection on the trapdoor to look at the inside

Art skills and design skills are two different things in my book. I couldn't make a texture to save my life. Structures I'm getting much better at.

And I think I want to upscale that pagoda design next time I try something like that. It was nifty, but kinda small. I kind of wish I had built the bagua first and then scaled the pagoda around it. Also, I totally wasn't happy with the way the hardened clay turned out.

 

[Yusunoha]

whoops, forgot to do an update yesterday, but it's a new day, so also a new update, starting off with @Vazkii posting another sneak peak for Botania Botania

An experimentation I did today, wireless pistons anyone?

next up, @pixlepix posting a poll for Thaumic Tinkerer regarding the bedrock dimension

There has been a lot of....feedback on the new bedrock dimension in KAMI. At various times, people have said that I am a horrible modder and I shouldn't be working on TT. Honestly, I'm fed up with it. I've made a poll on the new bedrock dimension.
A few things to keep in mind:
1) The screenshots of ore spawns posted in this subreddit a while back are no longer accurate. They ore generation has been turned down significantly.
2) The awakened ichorium pickaxe is one of the hardest items in the game to obtain. By the point that anyone obtains the pickaxe, they can set up dozens of concurrently running quarries. This means that the resources from this dimension are not as big a concern as you might think. It also means that the server load is minimal, as very few people use the dimension in the first place.
3) The only way it would interfere with another mod is if another mod also tries to overwrite vanilla bedrock, which, to my knowledge, no other mod does. There were a few issues with Block.bedrock refrences, but they are fixed in build 100.
Go Vote
EDIT: Thanks a ton for all of your support, guys. It really means a lot to me. Just to clarify: I have no problem with people saying my mod is bad. I love engaging in rational, friendly, debate over ideas. If you say that my mod is bad, and say why, then I'd be more than happy to talk with you. What I have a problem with is posts like THIS and THIS
Also, a clarification: Only bedrock in the bottom four levels of the overworld can be broken. Admins can use bedrock around the spawn like normal.

next, @ObsiLP with an update for Advanced Genetics

- [ADD] Auto Input-Output to Auto Scraper and DNA Insulator
- [FIXED] Microscope-Receipe bug

- Attempted fix for CME crashes on servers
- Fixed coloured items screwing up the Hat Trade gui colours.

Spoiler: mod review

AntVenom!Clarification : the diamond block dup exploit is fixed in newer builds. See changelog.Each block can only have one type of blocks still, that's intentional, in order to reduce data usage.

epicninja for the video!

Thanks Zxcvbnmkj for the video!
(This is an earliest version, none of the problems exist anymore)

Thanks for BloodChucklz's awesome builds!
I think this video better illustrates what I want people to have with this mod. Freedom on the design and less boilplate building. ​

Spoiler: player creations:

(awesome detail with larger structure ! and SEUS shaders !)

I'm thinking of also posting mods that are not really known yet, but seem interesting enough to share with you all, like I did with Soaryn Chests and Mine Painter. this also means if you come across a mod that you think that might be interesting for the FTB community, go ahead and post it here.

I'm also thinking of changing the topic's name to "what's new in modded minecraft today?" instead of "what's new in modded world today?" because I don't know about you all, but whenever I type this topic's name, I keep typing "minecraft" instead of "world"
