What's new in modded minecraft today?

[epidemia78]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned or noticed, but BuildCraft is going huge as TF2 competitive players would call it. It seems Spacetoad coming back has pulled the whole project out of maintenance mode. The Builder is mostly working again and the next major release will see its comeback along with the accompanying Architect Table and Blueprints. Of interest to players that don't use popular mods like Thermal Expansion with its Autonomous Activator and Terrain Smasher is the fact that the Stripes Pipe is also back! It both sucks blocks out of the world and places them. I have seen them used in the past for some awesome farms.

They should just start over from scratch and make a new buildcraft already.

I just hope my weekly news updates I can be half as helpful as this thread is. This thread rocks.
Thanks Yusunoha!

no, thank you I'm happy to help you

AlgorithmX2 just released a new mod called Rotatable Blocks and will be taking time off AE2 for a while now to focus RB until 1.8.

You can read more about the new mod and his desicion why he is taking time off from AE2 on his AE2 website here: http://ae2.ae-mod.info/

Perhaps the single greatest brilliance behind RB is that it revolutionizes minecraft with out adding a single block or item. This mean that there is no need for bug reports! Algo can basicly forward any bugs straight to @LexManos . Lex will love it!

I also released a spotlight on the mod this morning when he finally went public with it.

awesome mod, this should've been in modjam, it'd have won hands down

for the people who haven't yet... be sure to load up a vanilla instance of minecraft today and crank up the sounds and music, and clean your floor before that, as you'll be rolling on your floor laughing your arse off for the rest of the day

For a moment there, I started to panic, since I forgot how to open up vanilla minecraft. Also, spawn in a villager!

It is fairly terrible for mini-games. My friend and I went to MCSG and the Hive today, and the sounds and skin-stuff just made playing some Survival Games impossible. It was fairly stupid. I think April's Fools jokes shouldn't affect the game whatsoever, but they did this time. Terrible.

those sounds fit with my avatar.

i hope someone posts a vid of whatever this is, I'm gonna miss it while at work

Also Mojang is having issues with the Minecraft skin system, since the villagers in 1.9 have become sentient. They expect it to be fixed by April 1st 2042 10:00 PM CET.
Details.

I am not sure if it was posted here (10 days old) but if you have that many slopes as me in your base you are...

Kinda weird to see Algorithm dropping AE for 1.7 considering that many modders are actually working on it instead of 1.8.

4/1/14...not weird at all

 

[SaintLucifer]

Is kinda hard to not trust on that one and end falling for it, considering how many mod authors dropped projects on the last few months.

some of the comments in his statement are so unlike him that it's almost impossible for me to believe.

"this ensures that the most important feature, rotatable blocks is always available, even at the cost of other mod's features."
"I can ignore all the problems with it"

to name two.

Happy April fools day? Maybe?

lol, yes...read two posts above the one you quoted

This has to be a April Fools thing. Think about it, a mod devoted to turning blocks. Thermal Expansion has a wrench that can turn stairs and logs(Well, you used to do logs). And this was a small feature! So it can't be that hard to do. Secondly, there is only one mod author who has an almost complete disregard of how other modders feel about his mod(Greg anybody?).
