What's new in modded minecraft today?

[asiekierka]

It's not dead to me

So remove the modules that add machines. My vision for BuildCraft is an ecosystem, but we give modules so that you can mix and match them with other mods if you wish.

Also, I'm not making Yet Another Powered Furnace.

Do you take suggestions? I might have a few that I could give

On Topic:
A new mod from gjgfuj, Open Automation. Thought some of it looked neat

OpenAutomation deals with two things, adding automatable features to other mods, and doing other sorts of Automation. "Automate all the things."

Youtube video from me:

Modules of OA:
OC:

Spoiler: OC

The original module. Requires OpenComputers to exist, in order to function.
We have one feature still that's in the OC module. The Power Out-Converter. This block converts OC energy, to RF, sending it out to wherever you wish.
There is also a feature from the lasers in the OC module. The Computer Data Laser
It has one method:
component.laser.sendDataLaser(sides., message)
When received it sends a signal with the signature:
"laser_message", address_of_component_received_on, message

It can be sent into any component in the network /except/ the actual computer block.

TConstruct:

Spoiler: TConstruct

While playing with Tinker's Construct, I found out that the smeltery was kinda big and bulky to run. As such, I introduce to you, the Micro Smeltery. This is a single block with the ability to melt any item that the smeltery can, faster, and using RF power. As such, it is capable of being pretty useful in your automation endeavors.

Laser:

Spoiler: Laser

The newest feature. Don't you want to transport your power along a long distance, but don't feel like using a Tesseract? Introducing, the invisible lasers of longdistanceness! These lasers can travel a long way, up to 400 blocks in any direction in fact! They'll only go where there is air blocks however.

Now featuring, Visibility! If you have Computronics installed, the lasers are VISIBLE, whoa, you can't even get this anywhere else.

There are 2 types of lasers:
Energy Laser Emitter - Send RF power into any side of the block, and it'll emit a laser out the other side!
Energy Laser Emitter (Energisable) - Allows energy in the laser to be energised once every 100 pulses. (5 seconds)
Laser Energiser (Solids) - Energises energisable lasers that pass through it. Requires items to be piped into it.
Human Laser Emitter - Requires RF Power. Right click on any side of the block, it emits a laser out the other side and teleports you all the way to the receptor on the other end! Sends a ping every 5 seconds out every direction, this can be turned off by shift-right clicking.
Mirror (Laser) - Right click to set the two sides that it'll reflect lasers. It reflects at a right angle.
Double Mirror (Laser) - Right click to set the input side, and rotate what two output sides there are.
Laser Receptor - When it receives any lasers, it will output the things that were transferred out the opposite side.

Requires Awesome Sauce Core.

The latest version is available on drone.io: here

Or download the stable version from CurseForge.

squeak502/ChrisLane updated Squeedometer to 1.8 (1.8-1.0.3)

Added a version for Minecraft 1.8 courtesy of @ChrisLane (see #3)

 

[Yusunoha]

new day, new update, and today it's @UntouchedWagons with More Boiler Options

Railcraft's boilers are awesome, but sometimes you can't get the right sized boiler you need.So this mod lets you add custom sizes to Railcraft's boilers.

This has been tested with Railcraft 9.5.0.0 but it should work with older versions. Custom sizes are set via the mod's config file. By default, 1x2x1, 1x3x1, 1x4x1 and 2x4x2 are added as custom sizes.

The source code for this can be found on my GitHub account.

and @cout970 with Magneticraft

Magneticraft 0.0.5

• Added brick furnace
• Added crafter

and @X_Simeon with Matter Overdrive

Matter Overdrive Website

Matter Overdrive is a Minecraft mod, inspired by the popular Sci-fi TV series Star Trek. It dwells in the concept of replicating and transforming one type matter into another.

The Mod, features:

• A Modular Weapon System
• Replicators, with Item Pattern replication.
• Decomposing of Items into Matter Plasma

Although, it may seem overpowered, Matter Overdrive takes a more realistic approach and requires the player to build up to a complex system, before even the simplest replication can be achieved.

The beauty of BuildCraft is that it had a big ecosystem of mods working with it. Nowadays, that's dead, so we're trying to make up - and instead become an ecosystem of our own.

Assuming you're only playing with BuildCraft, which more and more people are, furnaces which take power are pretty useful. And it's time to do a fresh take on these anyway.

(No, we're not adding ore processing. Don't even try to ask.)

(And yes - laser furnaces were planned before I took up development. Much before, in fact.)

Perhaps reaching out is better than pulling in. Work on making it usefull for other mods instead of hoping other mods will make them selves useful to buildcraft.
Example: What if that laser powered smelter was an extension of Tcons that would be interesting. A powered way to make tcon tools. Just remember to include a way to prevent alloys from forming.

@X_Simeon with Matter Overdrive

Is that a phaser?
For the love of bob please let there be an appropriate effect attached to that. If it's just a generic re-skinning an arrow to look like a red rectangle I will cry.

We provide the APIs. I have enough work to do working on BuildCraft on my own (plus hea3ven), and I am a very "m-muh vision!" person myself. I want to create a tightly integrated experience, not a bunch of patchjob adapters.

I reach out to help with BC integration sometimes, but I am not going to force features on other mods as part of BC, that would be unfair.

I hope so, from what I can see, the mod looks really awesome

 

[Omegatron]

That doesn't even make sense. Why would such a device use a laser and not a direct connection to electricity, or in minecraft's case, Redstone Flux.

Lasers and furnaces both heat things don't they?

And it's not like the buildcraft lasers actually act like simple lasers.

The infamous Iskan has a new HQM modpack! Atonement!

I'm very excited about any pack that Iskandar assembles

Buuuuuut....I'm a bit concerned about this thread becoming a place to announce modpacks, especially third-party packs. There's hundreds of them, and if a precedent is set, they'll all announce their new releases here.

Not asking/suggesting/etc that we don't do it, just saying I'm worried

Ah, that was brought up the first time it happened. And we still have the same two options. Keep all the new stuff here one one place for easy access or split things off into there own threads for ease of sorting.
The down side of the first is that when the thread gets busy it can be hard to find what is important.
The down side of the second is that distributed info can make it hard to find what is important.
One is only an occasional problem the other a perpetual problem. And with the new post alert system being kinda hit or miss (as in of you don't look at all the alerts every time it won't add new alerts from the section you did not check) the current system is probably the best.

I don't see any difference between this thread being used to announce FTB packs, 3rd party packs from an MC celebrity or 3rd party from your average joe. Modded news is modded news, and as long as someone isn't hijacking this thread to build their own hype train I can't see anything inherently wrong with doing so.

If it starts becoming a precedent; we could look at a side rule of 'pack owners and devs cannot post their own release as news'

The same thing could be said about mods, though. There are hundreds of them (193 pages on CurseForge alone) and quite a few get their updates announced here. I don't see a problem with having packs announced here as well. It is "What's new in modded minecraft today?", not "What's new in minecraft mods today?"
