What's new in modded minecraft today?

[McJty]

I just released RFTools 2.80 with the following changes:

Spoiler

2.80:

• First remove config/rftools/main.cfg to get new and changed settings and also fix a config bug. Also read the warning below on the screen support.
• Dimension related changes:
  • The 'frozen dimension' option is now default. It can still be disabled if this causes problems.
  • Reduced mining fatique from 4 to 2 if the player is using a Phased Field Generator to make sure he can get his or her grave back.
  • If a dimension is unpowered no animals or mobs will spawn. This prevents a problem where for some obscure reason a frozen/unpowered dimension caused massive amounts of squid to spawn.
  • Fixed celestial bodies in a world where time is frozen. They would all be at the same fixed spot. This is now randomized better so all bodies will appear on a random spot. The dominant sun and moon will still be at the expected spot however.
  • When generating liquids for orbs and liquid orbs you are now always guaranteed to get one liquid.
  • Fixed a potential problem with liquid orbs not having a valid liquid which would causes crashes during chunk generation.
  • To avoid the problem of being unable to get your items back in a frozen dimension the Phased Field Generator will from now on revive all entities around the player in a certain radius (default 5). This will allow the player to dig the grave, pick up entities and so on. Mobs will also become active but it is not possible to cheat with this as the player cannot attack anything in a dimension without power (a PFG does not help with that) while the mobs can.
• Teleportation related changes:
  • Added a new 'Dial Once' option to the dialing device. With this option you can dial a transmitter to a receiver. Upon first teleport from that transmitter the dial will be removed so that other players cannot follow. This is useful to be able to dial from a public place to a private receiver and make sure noone can follow you.
  • It is now possible to mark receivers as favorite in the dialing device. This is remembered per player.
  • In the dialer you can now also filter out all receivers/destinations that are not marked as favorite. This option is remembered per dialer.
  • Implemented a new 'simple dialer' block. This block can react to a redstone signal and based on that dial or interrupt a single connection. This is especially useful in combination with the wireless redstone and interactive screen support (see later).
• Screen related changes:
  • Screen modules can now be interactive! The first interactive module is the 'Button' module. This module will react to the player left-clicking and can send out a wireless redstone signal. It can be used in 'push' or in 'toggle' mode. To use the 'Button' module you have to sneak-right click on a redstone receiver. The first time this is done with a module this will create a new channel and set this to the module. It will also copy that channel on the receiver so the redstone receiver will get redstone signals from the button.
  • To support this the screen is now a proper multiblock. You still have to use the wrench to toggle between large/transparent/normal modes but if you go to large mode invisible blocks will be used (this is needed to register mouse clicks for interactive screens). If you use any existing large screens in your world it is recommended that you sneak-hit that screen with a wrench 4 times to get the proper multiblocks there. This only has to be done once.
  • The large screen now has a proper rendering box which means it will no longer disappear if it is at the border of your display.
• Environmental controller related changes:
  • Implemented the night vision module for the environmental controller.
  • Implemented the water breathing module for the environmental controller.
  • Made sure that an active environmental controller with modules in it always consumes a minimum amount of RF. Configurable and set to 5 by default.
• Varia:
  • Improved the visual appearance of widget lists (as used in the dialer and storage scanner and various other RFTools blocks) so that the selection bar no longer goes over the border. Looks a lot cleaner that way.
  • Fixed a bug where clicking an empty ChoiceLabel would crash the game. This could happen if the player puts an uninitialized machine information module in a screen and then uses the UI on the choice label.
  • Made the crafter a bit more robust in case of mod updates where some recipes no longer work or resulting items are different. In this case it will simply ignore the recipe.
  • Fixed a bug with the Energy Extractor getting the wrong value from the wrong config field.
  • Big cleanup and simplification of the code to setup the screen module GUI.

Spent some time improving the color sorting code, and tried it out on the only mod worthy

 

[retep998]

Wondering what to do with your GregTech Crucible? Maybe you'd like to actually create something with all that molten metal instead of just having a pile of scrap?
Introducing, molds!

Try color sorting the tens of thousands of blocks/items in GregTech 6.

• Dimension related changes:
  • If a dimension is unpowered no animals or mobs will spawn. This prevents a problem where for some obscure reason a frozen/unpowered dimension caused massive amounts of squid to spawn.

Enjoy!

That should be left as a config option.

No that's normal.

and @WildBamaBoy with Minecraft Comes Alive

Minecraft Comes Alive 5.0.2

• Feature: Rose gold can now be disabled by setting spawn weight to 0 or less.
• Change: Guards and archers who are married no longer carry their weapons or fight.
• Change: Setting home points should now be more reliable.

• Fix: Possible crashes due to a behavior that is not yet implemented will no longer happen.
• Fix: MCA villagers activated or killed by Thermal Expansion's Autonomous Activator will no longer crash the game.
• Fix: MCA villagers killed by specific mobs will no longer cause a crash.

and @Kandivia with Configurable Health

Configurable Health 2.0

• Added Hearts
• "Eat" to increase the player's Max Health by 1 Heart
• "playerTopMaxHealth" config setting limits how many hearts a player can obtain.
• Can be crafted with 9 Heart Fragments
• Fragments drop from mobs at a low chance("chanceHeartFragDrop" config)

and @Piepenguin with RF Windmills

This mod adds four tiers of wind turbines based on Thermal Expansion's machine frames (basic, hardened, reinforced, and resonant) with increasing RF generation and internal storage. The exact RF/t varies depends on altitude and space around the block, with the turbine producing no energy at all at a height of 60 blocks or below, and producing maximum energy at an altitude of 100 blocks or more. The turbine also needs space for the air to flow, and so placing blocks in direct line of the rotor (closer than 10 blocks) will also reduce the turbines effectiveness.

The generation and storage for each tier are

1. Basic - Generates up to 5 RF/t and stores 16 000 RF
2. Hardened - Generates up to 15 RF/t and stores 32 000 RF
3. Reinforced - Generates up to 30 RF/t and stores 48 000 RF
4. Resonant - Generates up to 45 RF/t and stores 64 000 RF

These are only preliminary though, they're subject to change if found to be too high/too low.

Sneak-right clicking on a wind turbine will report its current (and maximum) energy storage, and sneak-right clicking with a Buildcraft-compatible wrench will instantly drop the block with its storage intact. Right clicking with a wrench will turn the turbine to face you, but they face towards you when placed too.

Requirements
Whilst this mod is designed to work with Thermal Expansion, it isn't necessary and the mod will work perfectly well without, albeit with different recipes to compensate for the lack of machine parts. Thermal Foundation isn't actually necessary either, although both are recommended.

Usage
Use this in whatever modpack you want, no need to ask. The code is licensed under the GPL and I'm by no means a Java dev so feel free to fork. If you find any bugs or have feature/enhancement requests please submit an issue.

So, I've been making this for a while now:

 

[the_j485]

So, I've been making this for a while now:

Cool. How's it different to a flux-infused pickaxe?

 

[Type1Ninja]

Cool. How's it different to a flux-infused pickaxe?

I would say that the flux-infused pick is very end-game and not superior to Tinker's tools. This is clearly early-game, and I'm hoping it is somehow better than TiCon picks (not because I dislike TiCon, but because my electric drill should be better than my steel pickaxe).

 

[gardenapple]

Cool. How's it different to a flux-infused pickaxe?

It mines both pickaxe- and shovel-type blocks. It's also upgradeable, similarly to Simply Jetpacks (without the Flux tier, although I might consider a Vajra equivalent that runs on RF). And it adds early-game EnderIO drills.
I'm still not sure about the balance though... I'll need some feedback when I release it, because they are kinda underpowered compared to Redstone Arsenal tools.

I would say that in order to keep electric tools useful, they need to somehow be better than both Tinker's tools AND better than RA tools. RA is easy - just make the early-game variants cheap, then maybe make an actual RA-type drill. For Tinker's, though... I think maybe what you're doing is good. Combining multiple tools into one slot is something that Tinker's doesn't do; that's something you can let this mod excel at. Or, of course, you could actually make a Tinker's addon that adds Tinker's drills. I'd love that.

 

[portablejim]

I updated "Curse ModPack Downloader" (cross platform program, not a mod) to 0.2.
Changes:

Spoiler

• Caches mods to be more efficient
• Fixes issues with manifest.json files with newlines in the wrong spot (e.g. Infinity)

Instructions on how to use it are currently in the initial release notes, here: https://github.com/portablejim/curseDownloader/releases/tag/v0.1

Note: It is your responsibility to keep the pack as up to date as you want (or as up to date as the person you mention bugs to wants it to be). Bugs with modpacks may be cleaned up in newer versions, so ensure you are on the latest version of a pack before reporting bugs to the modpack author.

 

[KhrFreak]

So, I've been making this for a while now:

seems similar to Raizunnes Redstonic

 

[DreamMasterXXL]

Update GTTweaker to 0.6.2 for Blood Asps Version of GT (5.8.02.) Now I support the Fusion Reactor for Minetweaker.

I'm still not sure about the balance though... I'll need some feedback when I release it, because they are kinda underpowered compared to Redstone Arsenal tools.

If you could match the drills kinda closely to simply jetpacks, in terms of cause and amount of time it can be used befor needing to be recharged. That would balance well.

You could even have the higher versions being able to come with or be able to add add-ons.
Using TE machine upgrades as a basis. The higher tiers being able to add more upgrades and more powerful versions of them.
Just don't do that bit where you have have tiers one and two in to get tier 3 to work that part is annoying. It would be better if you could just upgrade the addons by removing the addon and using it as one of the crafting ingredients in the next tier.

The upgrades could include silktouch, fortune, smelting, trash and even veinminer.
Especially veinminer. A version that you have to earn would be very nice to have.

And you might also want to make the upgrades smart or configurable via a GUI. So it would use fortune on some ores silk touch on others and smelting on others still.

 

[NJM1564]

Oh you know what I have always wanted in one of these powered machines. A enderchest/tesseract link. I mean I can literally eat through mountains of material but keep having to stop and send the material back home. Having the machine do that for me would be so much better. With an appropriate cause for the upgrade.
And using that system to power the drill remotely from home would be nice as well.

And no this would not be OP powerfull yes but this upgrade would be end tier (I have automated everything, punched herobrine between the legs, inslaved notch to grind cobble for me, and now I want to dig up a few hundred stacks of yellorium to make a max sized reactor) use.
