What's new in modded minecraft today?

FastCraft release 1.19
Changelog:
Version 1.17/1.18/1.19
- additional world gen lag reduction
- fix texture glitches with Optifine
- release preparations
- debug options for frequent issues
- bug fixes

More importantly, now allowing redistribution!

Redistribution of FastCraft is only allowed under the following terms:
- FastCraft may only be redistributed as part of a mod pack, i.e. a collection of mods intended to be typically used as a whole on top of Minecraft. Individual copies of FastCraft must not be shared unless they are in a non-advertised, non-browsable repository for automatic download methods (launchers, installers), in which case they are treated as a part of the mod packs referencing them.
- The FastCraft binary (jar) shipped with the mod pack must not have its contents altered and has to be bit identical to an official release.
- The download and the way to get there must be free of charge and ad free, except for a basic banner/text/sponsor ad typically occupying less than 100,000 pixels total on a 1920*1080 pixel display.
- If using the mod pack typically involves the use of a launcher or installer, it's required that it allows the user to easily disable or manually upgrade FastCraft.
- The mod pack description must highlight the use of FastCraft, contain a link to this thread, tell what it does and who made it and ask the users to always mention FastCraft being used in bug reports. An entry in some mod list is insufficient.
- The version being redistributed must not be older than 3 weeks since a more recent version compatible with the same Minecraft version was released. Versions not posted in this opening post don't count as releases.
- Redistribution permissions are not permanently granted, they automatically expire within 3 weeks and need to be reacquired by agreeing to the latest conditions and implementing any potential changes, including ceasing redistribution altogether as required.

TL;DR: Only for mod packs, unmodified, no pay or ad wall, warning+link+author+bug report mentioning in the description, disableable+upgradeable in launchers, update within 3 weeks, conditions may change.

If you have further questions regarding redistribution send me a private message.

YAY MY FIRST NON-MY MOD POST HERE.

Lex has updated forge to 1.8, offically!

Link to discussion.

And he is joined by Fry, who is in charge for the rendering:

However, I would like to take this oppertunity to introduce you to the new guy on the team Fry!
As you all know, I SUCK at rendering things, and with cpw's departure I need some help.
Fry has been working with me for quite some time on various minor things. He volenteered to work
on the rendering stuff and I trust him enough to give him access to actually work on Forge itself.
So, if you have any rendering issues, bitch at him!

 

[FyberOptic]

Didn't he do something with old BuildCraft stuff?

I started with BuildCraft Core and then BuildCraft Transport for 1.2.5, since they weren't heavily invasive and let me start building some groundwork. Since then I've gotten RedPower 2 Core, RedPower 2 Lighting, Nether Ores, and Equivalent Exchange 2 to load. There are various states of functionality for each. I add or swap out mods as I go to focus on fixing particular functionality.

And he is joined by Fry, who is in charge for the rendering:

Fry's been there a little while now, from what I understand.

Nothing has really changed much over the last several weeks, code-wise. If modders didn't want to use it then, I doubt removing the beta label will change that.

And he is joined by Fry, who is in charge for the rendering:

CPW quit? That's something I had not heard before.
Ah, if anyone knows if this is related to the latest dramastorm remember to keep it over there.

[Kamran Mackey]

If cpw was still here, we wouldn't have had the 1.8 drama.

Yeah. I agree with you 100%. By the way, you kind of messed up the was and still positions in your post. It's supposed to be "was still" and not "still was".

P.S. Sorry, I'm a bit OCD about these things.

 

[McJty]

Here is again a new version of RFTools with some fixes and enhancements:

2.31:

• Fixed sorting on name in the dialing device (for the list of receivers). It was sorting on dimension name and that's stupid because the list was already sorted on dimension number.
• The /rftdim safedel command will now also automatically remove all teleportation destinations (registered receivers) for the deleted dimension so you no longer have to do /rfttp cleanup afterwards.
• Added a new 'maintenanceCostPercentage' config setting with which you can add or remove a percentage to the maintenance cost of all dimlets. Setting this to -100 will reduce the cost to almost zero (it will never be set below 10% of the original cost) and setting this to 100 will double the cost. The default is 0. Note that this does not affect already created dimensions since the cost of a dimension is baked into the dimension at creation time.
• After some feedback and some thinking I decided to reduce the default maintenance cost for most blocks, liquids, and effects. The costs were previously pretty high which makes it a bit useless to try to create such a world as you will never get a benefit from it. With the reduced costs this is still more or less the case. However, it will now be much easier to get the cost to reasonable levels by adding negative effect dimlets or the efficiency dimlet. The latter is rare but in the near future there will be a way to construct dimlets out of other dimlets so it should become somewhat easier (and more interesting) to get efficiency dimlets.
• Moved the creation of the known dimlet recipes back to after init to avoid problems with some other mods.
• Fixed an overflow bug in the RF Monitor if the monitored block contained more then 20000000 RF.
• Fixed a pretty serious cleanup problem that can occur after connecting to a server which has RFTools dimensions and then disconnecting and trying to create a new world in single player.

Edit: don't forget to delete rftools/main.cfg to benefit from the new config defaults (but do *not* delete dimlets.cfg!)

Have fun!

new day, new update, and today it's @Pauljoda with Where are you?

Think of how many times you've asked someone for their coordinates? Its probably a lot. Or maybe you've asked what the coordinates of something are. You can just put it in chat and it'll be done. You both press F3 and have to stare at an a bunch of numbers and then you're on your way. What if I said there was an easier way? One where neither of you need to even see your coordinates.

If that sounds good to you, then this is the mod for you.

Usage:
Using this mod is simple. Simple type: "/shareCoords" followed by the user you want to share you location with. There is tab completion so feel free to take advantage of that. You can also add two more integers after the player name to specify an X and Z coordinate, just in case you don't want to give your location but something elses.

To remove beacons on your screen, simply type "/clearCoords" and they will all go away

and @ewyboy with Floating Rails

Floating Rails Beta 1.0

• Changed Lava lilies from a magma texture into a obsidian texture.
• Added config file support.
• Spawn rate can now be set in the config file.
• Spawn level can now be set in the config file.

and @NPException with Dimensional Pockets

Dimensional Pockets 0.10.3

• Config option to disable/enable chunk loading of pocket rooms

Changed

• Buffed up the update check a bit

Fixed

• Horrible, horrible bug which was fortunately not noticeable in earlier versions

and @Dyonovan with Thaumcraft Node Tracker

Thaumcraft Node Tracker 1.0.1

• Added Dimension Switching on list
• Fixed delete code for waypoints
• Fixed missing arrow textures
• Fixed amount of buttons when list < 10

 

[RenzosNips]

Not exactly modded news but....

You can now change your display name in Minecraft. Just head over to your Mojang Account, log in, and hit the change button next to your current display name!

 

[J10]

Maybe for 1.8. Changing ore dict names mid version is definitely going to destroy everything.

You are absolutely right.

 

[InfinityRaider]

And they did end up naming it after me =p

 

[McJty]

Yesterday I sneakily updated RFTools 2.31 to 2.31a without telling anyone!

The only change is a fix for a crash when a player logs out while in the overworld from a server that has RFTools dimensions.

new day, new update, and toda it's @portablejim with VeinMiner Mod Integration

This adds additional requirements in order to VeinMine with VeinMiner.

If you have a tool that is enchantable, you need to get the VeinMiner enchantment. If you have a Tinkers Construct tool, you need to add glowstone to a tool in order to enable VeinMiner on the tool.

@viniciusIrangel has released Memory Cleaner

Memory Cleaner is a simple mod that cleans unused variables and related from your Memory, allowing Minecraft (and other programs!) to run smoother. It's very lightweight: no blocks, items, GUIs, just a Config file and some Commands.

You can even choose how often the mod will clean Minecraft's memory, in the Config File or with commands.

Usage

"What do I need to do?" Basically, nothing. But in the config file you can choose if you want debug info in the console (Provably not, but...) and change how often the mod will clear the memory.

And ingame, you can do /memoryCleaner help for more info, but there's a commands to clean the memory in the same moment, and change the config ingame.


How does it work?

The mod basically uses the Java Garbage Collector to clear unused variables. (There's many when you have a lot of mods.)
When it's cleaning those variables, the game has a little lagspike of less than 0.3 seconds,in average. It depends a bit on your computer.

This sounds like a terrible idea. The GC will run anyway, forcing it to run every few seconds won't make your game run any better.

 

[squeek502]

New mod:

Creative Blocks v1.0.0

A mod that enables creative building in survival (allows specified blocks to be placed/broken as if the player was in creative mode).

Current features:

• Config for whitelisting blocks as 'creative blocks' (see config/CreativeBlocks/default.json after running Minecraft once with the mod installed)
• Whitelisted blocks do not get used up when placed (like in creative)
• Whitelisted blocks do not drop anything when broken (like in creative)
• Whitelisted blocks get broken in one hit (like in creative)

Note: The configs are synced from the server to all clients and can be reloaded at runtime using the command /creativeblocks reload

Download

v1.0.0 (for Minecraft 1.7.10):

You are welcome to add this mod to any modpack you'd like.

The idea for the mod spawned from this thread on reddit by /u/oltronix

Waila Harvestability updated to v1.1.2.

- Added special compatibility for the Creative Blocks mod (harvestability info will be hidden for blocks whitelisted as creative blocks)
