What's new in modded minecraft today?

[NJM1564]

New release of RFTools (2.76). If all goes well this is the last release before 2.80 (or 3.00 depending on how much new stuff I can make).

• Balancing:
  • If a dimension is out of power you cannot attack entities.
  • Added an (optional for now) way to freeze all entities in an unpowered dimension. Enable this by setting B:freezeUnpoweredDimension=true

I love these features.

I suggest disabling block breaking/block placing when its out of power too!

If that happened there would be to much of a chance of getting stuck in that world.

Unpowered dimensions already kill you quite rapidly if you don't have a charged Phased Field Generator on your hotbar, so there's really no need to make things more difficult on the player.

The whole point of the field generator, to my knowledge, is so that you can restart your power generation if you decided to power a dimension from within your base in the dimension itself without going through the hassle of putting together a duplicate dimension tab without access to your base and all the other stuff in the dimension. Making it impossible to break blocks that may be jamming your powergen or replacing missing cables or something would severely undercut this functionality.

The purpose of the changes to the way entities and tile entities work in the latest updates (i.e. freezing them in unpowered dimensions) was to keep people from abusing dimensions by running quarries in them without powering them. It's not supposed to affect players directly, if I'm not mistaken.

If that happened there would be to much of a chance of getting stuck in that world.

No, there wouldn't. When you die in an RFTools dimension, you respawn in the Overworld. If the dimension's out of power, you're going to die instantly unless you're got a phased field generator.

I updated Veinminer

VeinMiner 0.27.0
Changes:

• Make the mode work reliably in 1.8

The update for 1.7 was just a re-working of code to allow the change for 1.8 (No real additional features.)

Could you add a config that would require a wrench to vein mine things like AE cables, pipes, conduits? That seems like it could be useful.

If you mean for breaking the blocks (in the same way you would with a pickaxe), you can already configure it to be that way. If you mean for when you right click with a wrench, then no, it is a different mechanic.

Well that might not be good as the idea is that you are capable of restoring your dimension and getting access back. That might sometimes require breaking and placing blocks depending on the reason for the power meltdown (like a creeper explosion or such)

Edit: sorry. This is off-topic. Didn't actually notice the thread this was posted in

and @jaquadro with Storage Drawers

Storage Drawers 1.3.9

• Added ore dictionary whitelist to MineTweaker API.
• Added config option to disable ore dictionary item conversion.
• Item conversion heuristics are much more aggressive about filtering out possible conversions.
• Some efficiency improvements in item conversion handling.
• Removed troublesome controller sync packet. It should be unnecessary, but there's a chance it could impact a transport mod.

Updated MineTweaker API:

• mods.storagedrawers.OreDictionaryWhitelist.add("oreName");

A whitelisted ore dictionary name will override anything in the blacklist, and bypass most of the inbuilt heuristics that control valid matches.

I was thinking more of Homestuck mIrAcLeS (the bloodier kind), but yeah. Don't need to be an insane troll clown to be hyped over this.

Oh hello, news thread. Long time no see
Glass Shards 1.3.2

• Removed the April Fools changes. For anyone who didn't experience them: On April 1st it would swap the colors White with Light Blue and Yellow with Black on glass shards and various vanilla items, courtesy of the famous Dress.
• New sword textures by @xTordX. They now have a more irregular shape, like a shard.
• (@Xottab-DUTY) Updated Russian translation.
• Changed the way Chisel versions are being checked - it will accept versions newer than 2.3.
• Minor changes for integrating Ice Shards.

Ice Shards 1.0-beta
Ice Shards you say? Indeed, this is a new small addon to Glass Shards that emerged from an idea some people around here had.
It makes ice and packed ice drop shards as well, which can be crafted back into either of these.
See the thread or Curse for more information.
