What's new in modded minecraft today?

[Yusunoha]

Wait, Facebook owns Oculus Rift? I suddenly lost interest.

yes, sadly the bought the Oculus VR company... not to thrilled about it either...

 

[midi_sec]

that actually happened?

I thought I was having this really horrible nightmare until now.

Why does it matter who owns them? It's still the same product and does the same thing. The only difference I see is who is footing the bill for the development.

Its conceivable FB would be more picky about who they work with, whereas Oculus VR (the original owning company) would likely deal with anyone who takes a serious interest. Since FB is already strongly in software development, they're less likely to interact positively with a firm who might develop competing software (such as, for an obvious example, a virtual-reality social networking application).

this.

they bought the technology, not oculus' vision for their product. who knows what final form this will take? i am not pleased.

Because now there won't be Minecraft there:

Facebook's blockbuster buy of Oculus has many of the project's original crowdfunding backers and others, most notably Minecraft designer Markus Persson, decrying the development. "We were in talks about maybe bringing a version of Minecraft to Oculus. I just cancelled that deal," Persson posted on Twitter. "Facebook creeps me out."

No. Now they have to do what FB say. Someone predicted this transition is going to stall development by 180%. Also if FB have anything to do with the games design we run the risk of freemium.

 

[midi_sec]

i just had a smoke, so here's the lighter side.

what if facebook kept them as their own entity? let them develop and sell their hardware on the open market. example: google never technically had branded mobile devices, but they owned motorola.

that's just the rosy side though, such a thing will never happen.

what about android devices?

 

[midi_sec]

what about android devices?

android is an os (software) made by google, motorola is a mobile hardware manufacturer. big difference.

i've got one of my old droids with a pretty powerful linux pentesting suite on it. you can run more than just android on them, you know

yeah there is linux ubuntu mobile edition . i looks pretty good.
ive heard if you have good phone you can run games like gta san andreas and even play it online via samp...

 

[neosatan]

Yeah. You can install linux on pretty much everything. The device just have to not locked by producent and it's ok to do that.

About Oculus. Guys, I would really be suprised if facebook will even try to finish such project. I would say that they aquired technology to competite with google glass. On other hand, I see that facebook wants to be like google. But, Mark is not Aron and Facebook is not Google. I would say, that oculus (or same idea) will be picked by other studio, or original studio will just create new studio with the same idea.

I never liked oculus idea, so it reallu does not bother me at all. On other hand I am curious if there will be something like google glass...

If it helps Sony is working on a VR headset and Microsoft is rumored to be working on one as well.

new day, new update, starting with @WayofTime with Blood Magic

1.0.0a

• - Added ice recipe to alchemy, and fixed Mycelium
• - Fixed the Earth Environmental Melee spell
• - More general fixes

and @joshie with several updates for Mariculture

Mariculture 1.2.1b

• Limestone shouldn't crash loading on some instances
• Reduced chance for the one ring to generate in dungeon chests
• Pressurised water should now only break blocks on the side, fixed y coordinate bug with it too
• Fish egg generation has been reduced 10 fold when producing with an eternal life upgrade
• Nerfed Fish finger output to 16. Still more than the raw ingredients, in terms of 'nutrition'. 25 food vs 32, 3 Saturation vs 8(nerfed with hunger overhaul as always)
• Water Geysers will now also pull from the tanks behind them to fill themselves up
• More fish have special effects on consumption
• Removed the custard, bowl + bottle recipe. You need to manually fill bowls with custard directly from a vat.
• Bowl exploits should be fixed , you now get half-eaten calamari once you eat one
• Rather than failing to catch anything when it generates loot instead of fish, fishing nets will generate vanilla raw fish instead
• Fixed Jewelry Teleport bug. Jewelry is no longer stored on the players nbt, this appears to be 'unreliable' due to a forge bug, the data is now saved to the map. You shouldn't lose jewelry on upgrade, but i'd recommend you take it off beforehand just in case. Take note this new method, uses your username, so you will need to be logged in. There is a config option to enable SinglePlayer offline mode. (Uses the same username always)
• Removed accidental debug text from the dictionary slots
• Fixed flipped textures on limestone pedestals

Mariculture 1.2.1c

• Update to fix potential auto-dictionary exploits
• NOTE: I have added the vanilla dyes to the item blacklist! So feel free to remove dyeBlue, dyeBlack etc. from the name blacklist
• The whitelisting check is now handled on load rather than live
• Added blacklisting for prefixes for autodictionary, by default adds listAll, to stop the exploit with harvestcraft
• Added blacklisting for items individually uses the format of 'id meta' or 'unlocalizedname meta', by default adds tconstruct glue to stop exploit between slimeballs and rubber, as well as vanilla dyes

Mariculture 1.2.1d

• MAJOR: Fixed the jewelry saving... somehow i'd messed up the new saving method -_-
