new day, new update, and today it's @SuperKael with Aetheric Expansion
SuperKael said:
The Aetheric Expansion
The Aetheric Expansion mod is a mod designed to make Aether-Only survival possible, as well as adding various miscellaneous features! Many people, me included, wish that it where truly possible to accomplish anything from within the Aether. continuum orbs almost make this so, but you would need so many of them to get what you wanted, especially if you have other mods installed. This mod allows you to harness the raw power of the continuum orbs to make it do exactly what you want. Additional, it adds various crafting recipes to make life in the Aether easier! Furthermore, if you have other mods like Thaumcraft installed, it adds even more features!

Blocks & Items
Aetheric Converter:
This device allows you to convert Aether items into Overworld items!
Nether Converter: This device goes one step farther, and converts Overworld items into Nether items!
Aetheric Crucible: The block converts cobblestone into lava!
Fake Bedrock: Almost unbreakable block that looks exactly like bedrock! If you have Thaumic Tinkerer Kami installed, it adds one other feature involving the Awakened Ichorium Pickaxe...

Ambrosium Gem: Has no purpose on it's own, put in the Aetheric Converter to create redstone.
Energized Ambrosium Gem: Has no purpose on it's own, put in the Aetheric Converter to create lapis lazuli.
Aether Shard: (Thaumcraft Only) Has no purpose on it's own, put in the Aetheric Converter to create balanced shards.

Basic Conversions
Skyroot Logs/Planks/Sticks ---> Oak Logs/Planks/Sticks
Holystone ---> Cobblestone
Ambrosium Shard ---> Coal
Zanite Gemstone ---> Iron ingot
Enchanted Gravitite ---> Diamond
Golden Amber ---> 5x Gold Nugget
Skydirt ---> Dirt
Quicksoil ---> Sand

For other conversions, try experimenting! Moa eggs has special uses...

Bugs
Currently there are no known bugs. If you find one, please post about it!

Planned Features
+A block that allows respawning inside the Aether.

Greg is having trouble with his alpha blending.
6.00.17:
[FIXED] Restoring the Tesselator State causing a crash on the 0,0,0 Coordinate of each 16x16x16 Chunk...
[FIXED] Wrong blending maybe, again...


6.00.16:
[FIXED] General Render Issues by restoring the Tesselator Vertex State (it didn't do anything visible to me, but it already rendered properly before, so it is at least not a bad thing to do)


6.00.15:
[FIXED] Optifine Render Issues (probably)
[FIXED] Drill/Chainsaw/Wrench Head Textures to not look cut off that much.
[CHANGED] The look of the Capes.

skyboy has been busy today :)

Updates to Thermal Expansion (4.0.0RC7-141), Thermal Dynamics (1.0.0RC7-97), Thermal Foundation (1.0.0RC7-62), Redstone Arsenal (1.1.0RC7-65), CoFH Core (3.0.0RC7-211) and CoFH Lib (1.0.0RC7-127)
No Changelogs

These are releases, but I would still advise caution in use, back up your worlds
Please don't post Curseforge updates from CoFH, those are alpha builds (as you stated) and there are a billion of them every day so trying to keep up with them would only flood the thread. Instead, report only the updates that get released on the CoFH downloads page (note: curse.com, not curseforge.com), and the changelogs can be found here.
While I'm at it, yeah the CoFH mods got non-alpha updates today as well, and here are the changelogs.
CoFHCore
1.7.10R3.0.0RC7 Lots of under the hood work.

RedstoneArsenal
1.7.10R1.1.0RC7 Armor is more protective, more config stuff!

ThermalDynamics
1.7.10R1.0.0RC7 Fixes a ton of corner case crashes, performance improved.

ThermalExpansion
1.7.10R4.0.0RC7 Fixes crash with the Activator, hopefully reverts AE2 wrench behavior.

ThermalFoundation
1.7.10R1.0.0RC7 Localization updates, minor adjustments.

I can do that :)

Also, Emoniph updated Witchery to 0.23.2
TWEAK: Witch Hunters no longer attack, nor are attacked by Minecraft Comes Alive villagers.
TWEAK: Villagers are now immune to arrows from Village Guards and Witch Hunters.
TWEAK: Some demons from other mobs are affected by the Harm Demon custom potion effect.
TWEAK: Increased the height ceiling of Winged Monkeys carrying creatures to 32 blocks above the target block.

FIX: Sticky Item custom potion effect now works correctly again.
FIX: Brews of Erosion had an inverted block protection effect (meaning they only worked in block protected areas, Derpy McDerpderp).

and @iChun with an announcement for Photoreal
iChun said:
Hey again guys,

Again, wanna let you folks know that I’ve made the conscious decision to stop updating Photoreal to the latest Minecraft version.

Reasons are well, as of late I’ve been getting horribly swamped with work that I’ve not really been able to find time to mod, even though I want to, and according to the poll I had a while ago, demand for Photoreal is the lowest and least wanted. In addition to that, the mod has no practicality and no use other than the general show-offyness that doesn’t last for long. A little fun mod/experiment you could say, of which what I’ve learnt from that could be moved on for something better/greater/more useful.

Credit where due though, once again thanks to CorridorDigital for the initial inspiration for the mod (I made this mod in a Starbucks after idly watching their videos, I had a lot more time back then), and to mr_hazard for the camera model used. If you’d like to dig through the source code or if you want to update it yourself, be my guest, it can be found here.

Anyways, I know a couple of you people are thinking, I’m discontinuing mod after mod, I’m most likely heading towards the path of quitting modding. That’s thankfully not the case (yet). There’s still a lot of mods I want to work on for MC, the main thing I’m lacking now is time, and for once I’m actually putting real life priorities over modding (I can admit, for the past 2 years, I’ve spent more time modding than focusing on my life). However, I’ve still got a lot in store/planned for the future and I really am looking forward to working on them one day.

On the positive side, less mods to maintain, more time to make the others more awesome/make new mods. Yeah?

So yeah, goodbye Photoreal, thanks for the fun, thanks for the experience. (I’ll totally rebuild you in a different concept one way or the other)

Cheers,
iChun.

BuildCraft 7 has just received a massive, experimental tick speed boost by moving packet generation/sending to a separate thread. Don't worry, KingLemming has been made aware of this and it should hopefully trickle down to Thermal Dynamics in a few days for those of you who prefer ducts.

I feel like if more mods start doing this we will need some form of configurable worker thread pool managed by Forge or FML - having a hundred mods each spawning it's own thread will end up killing performance due to context switches and contention.

BuildCraftCore in BC7 will allow BuildCraft addons to use ours, and I bet CoFHCore will do the same thing - and most other mods simply don't need this level of optimization.

New version of RFTools (2.61):

2.61:
  • Fixed most commands so they no longer depend on a player performing them so they should also work from the server console.
  • Made the filter biome controller somewhat safer so that it doesn't crash in some rare bordercases.
  • Fixed a problem when creating random empty worlds. It would crash then.
  • Added 'nearlands' terrain dimlet. A pun on the farlands.
  • The shield can now stop rain but you still have to set the 'item' filter to solid.
  • Bugfix in the dimension enscriber where the first dimlet would not be parsed correctly when a new dimension was constructed.
  • Implemented dimlet validation in the dimension enscriber. There is a new label that will be red if there is some kind of error and green otherwise. You can hover over it to see what exactly is wrong.
  • Volcano feature is stable enough to allow at random. When you have volcanoes in your world be careful. They make a very deep noise so you should be able to hear them.

There are still bugs left on the github. I'll try to fix those soon too. Especially the VERY annoying bug with the items disappearing if you shift-click them in some of my inventories. So for now be careful with that.

Curse: http://www.curse.com/mc-mods/minecraft/224641-rftools#t1:other-downloads
Mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/download/gw1j39we3i6d3p3/rftools-2.61.jar

Have fun and don't jump into one of the volcanoes!
