and @ANIMENIAC7 with Enhanced Inventories

Enhanced Inventories 1.0.9

• Cleaned up recipe code all recipes should now appear in NEI and most if not all NEI crashes should be fixed.

• Added an additional field per biome in biome-modifiers.cfg to disable village generation in specific biomes. This does not force their generation in biomes which would not normally support them, just prevents them generating if they normally would have.
• No API changes, use API archive from 0.11.0.

and @Jhary with MagicalDecorations

This small Thaumcraft Addon was written in the process to learn general forge modding and especially how to work with custom block models.

Expect additional decorative blocks in the future.

Currently this mod adds just a lantern block that comes in two varieties: Greatwood and Silverwood

You have to do the thaumcraft research before you can craft it.
Turn it on and off by rightclicking it with a thaumcraft compatible wand.

If you have any suggestions or critique, write them down in the comment section.

I am looking forward to it!

Pistronics 2 update 0.5.8 by Letiu
(available for 1.6.4-1.7.2-1.7.10)

More love for statues.

Something that bugged me for a while is the fact that statues used the 16x16 textures from the blocks they were camoued with. The result was very pixeled so I decided to dynamically create bigger textures by glueing the old ones together. A pic says more than thousand words:

The chisel changes the resolution of the statue texture. Maybe it will have more uses in the future.
I'm pretty hyped by dynamic textures now so expect more of them soon. =)

Changelog:

- Beta Version 0.5.8
Added: Chisel
Changed: Statues now use the same texture as vanilla stone
(if you have a texturepack installed it will use that)
Changed: Statue default texture resolution
Fixed: Blocks not rendering when rotated over chunkborders
Fixed: Statues not rendering while rotating
Fixed: some render glitches in the Book of Gears

and I actually don't mind if the changelogs aren't released when an update is released. Vikestep can be pretty busy with life aswell and they often recommend to not immediatly update to a new update unless it fixes a crucial bug.

 

[ljfa]

Well VikeStep wasn't aware of the update
He's gonna do it tomorrow

 

[Yusunoha]

hmm, Infinity 1.3.2 seems to be giving me some problems though.
upon first load the world is really laggy and the BC quarry seems to be really messed up.
in 1.3.1 the quarry would dig at a good speed with 540RF/t but in 1.3.2 it's very very slow with 540RF/t

perhaps both the startup lagg and quarry problems are related to eachother. for now though I'll switch back to 1.3.1

There are tons of people having TPS issues in general with all of the 1.3.x versions of Infinity. It was originally believed to be MobiusCore but 1.3.2 downgraded that and there are still issues.

I am actually one of the poor souls who will always test new versions when they come out and can confirm the startup lag. the first loudup of the wold is indeed very laggy ( 1 or 2 TPS constant) however after a server restart the TPS stabalises (fluctuating between 16 and 20). the TPS returns to normal when all chunkloading blocks are removed and replaced(TPS 20 constant).

i have monitored all my actions with opis and saw that on the first world load my ender quarry contributed to about 99.999% of the lag (taking about 900 to 1000 miliseconds per tick)

after replacing in the world it went to a normal 30ms

also mystcraft is really laggy when the map loads for the first time however returns to normal usage after all the portal books are taken out and put back in

 

[Vazkii]

Botania update time.

Spoiler

R1.5 171

• Added 4 new achievements.

• Added Double Flowers. They're tall and pretty, can be made into double the petals and can be grown with Bone Meal on normal flowers. They can only be harvested with shears, please understand.

• Added The Pinkinator. What does it do? How do you get it? Heck if I know...

• Changed the flower world generator to generate flowers in patches and also generate the double flowers. There's 3 new config options to tweak this new method. Old configs will still work but results will be different, modpack makers should check that the results are still satisfactory.

• Fixed a bucket dupe in the petal apothecary.

• Fixed possible division by zero when justified text is enabled.

• Right clicking on a Floating Flower with Pasture Seeds, Boreal Seeds, Infestation Spores or Snowballs will change its look.

• The Exoflame will now ignore other mods' Furnace blocks unless they specifically opt in with the API interface. Fixes a dupe with Natura Nether Furnaces.

• The Mana Pump can now be controlled with Redstone and will output through a Comparator the amount of mana in the cart.

• The Pure Daisy will only place blocks in server worlds, fixes it happening too soon in clients connected to servers with subpar tps.

• (Technical) Added an IMC handler for blacklisting items from the Ring of Magnetization. (Lomeli12)

Edit: I guess Vazkii was a bit faster than me

 

[retep998]

Minor GregTech stuff

6.00.24:
[ADDED] PrefixBlocks now store the Item NBT of the Item used to place them. This should for example save the Data of renamed Items.
[FIXED] Old Unification Config File overwriting the new Unification Config File due to having the same Name and me forgetting to remove the old one. Incredible how no one noticed that in the whole GT6 era until now. Seems most people still wanna play GT5.

 

[Sangar]

A little heads-up, OpenComputers will be getting 3D Printers in the next release! Which will probably be on Friday. It's in testing right now; if you want to help breaking it (which would be much appreciated), head over to OC's Jenkins and grab a dev build. Here's a little video demonstrating the printer:

It basically allows printing arbitrary decorative blocks (within limits). That may optionally interact with redstone. Will hopefully have a more in-depth description ready by the time I release it... oh, and yes, this works in MC 1.7.10 and 1.8.

 

[Pyure]

When did Greg get addicted to updates? :3

Who cares, I like it

 

[Blood Asp]

When did Greg get addicted to updates? :3

24 GT updates in 36 Days is quite impressive, but GT5 had playable steam age after 3 updates, 13 updates for first electric age machines... GT6 now has a firebox and an boiler to make steam but not a single machine.

 

[ljfa]

Looks like he is remaking the mod to make it independent from IC2...this is probably gonna take some effort

 

[MrDlor]

There are tons of people having TPS issues in general with all of the 1.3.x versions of Infinity. It was originally believed to be MobiusCore but 1.3.2 downgraded that and there are still issues.

1.3.4 fixes the TPS issues. In 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 MobiusCore caused a permanent tps issue , 1.3.2 & 1.3.3 a new Mystcraft build caused a temporary tps issue.

and @Gekoreivax with Geko's Lasers

This mod adds lasers to Minecraft.

Lasers are made with Laserite Ore, which can be found deep underground.

Note that Thermal Expansion (and its dependencies!) are required to be also installed.

Geko's Lasers is still in development, so things will change often! The mod is currently very unbalanced (mainly in regards to power), but it is playable! Your feedback is most appreciated!

Blocks

Laserite Ore and Laserite Block. They give of low levels of light, and can be mined with an iron pickaxe or better.

Items and Crafting

• Energized Laserite
  • Put laserite into a Thermal Expansion Energetic Infuser to energise it with Redstone Flux
• Refined Laserite
  • Pulverizing laserite in a Thermal Expansion Pulverizer will refine it. Refined laserite can be dyed using any Minecraft dye
    
    
• Laser Reactor
  • Crafting energized laserite with 4 diamonds creates a laser reactor - the core of any laser weapon
    
    
• Lasers
  • The laser reactor is used to make cases. Each laser weapon has a different case
  • Laser Rifle Case
    
  • Precision Mining Laser Case
    
  • Wide Mining Laser Case
    
  • A case can be combined with refined laserite to create a laser weapon
    
    
  • Putting the laser weapon into a crafting grid will return the refined laserite and case. All energy is lost from the laser, however
    
    
    
    
    
    

Things Still To Do

and @insaneau with Switches Continued

Have you ever been frustrated by levers?

Well worry no more! Switches is the mod for you

Switches was originally developed by Myrathi, for Minecraft 1.6.4. An aesthetic favourite, it slipped by the wayside for updates into 1.7.10. UNTIL NOW!

Adds 3 types of "Switch" Iron, Gold and Emerald. They are identical to levers in every functional way, except for looks.

 

[KaosRitual]

Is that official because I recall him saying he wasn't going to leave ic2 a while back.

I think things like oregen, blocks and dust and whatnot for everything, unifying in inventory etc. will be standalone, but machines will be an addon. Seem to remember something like that.

 

[Blood Asp]

Is that official because I recall him saying he wasn't going to leave ic2 a while back.

He said for certain that he will not drop IC2 depencency. I'm sure he could do that quite easily but does not out of principle.
His GT-API will likely soon run independently, but GregTech itself never.
The GT-API will allow to easily copy functions of GregTech with small mods but it will not do anything by itself.
