What's new in modded minecraft today?

[CarbonBasedGhost]

MFR actually has plastic pipes I think and its plastic is made from rubber so they're sort of rubber ducts.

It's not even real plastic

 

[Eruantien]

They should've added duct tape.

 

[asiekierka]

BuildCraft 6.4.0 Beta. Robot fixes, stripes fixes, and we've fixed essentially all energy loss/weirdness bugs there were. Was supposed to be released in a week or two, but the fixes are so big we decided waiting is a bad idea.

 

[SpwnX]

They should've added duct tape.

That is a product of BrainTech AeroSpace and GregTech Intergalactical.
No duct tape is better than "BrainTech Aerospace Advanced Reinforced DuctTape FAL-84".

Will BC-compat be updated shortly or is it no longer needed in 6.4.0? Logically, it doesn't work with 6.3.X.

Can't argue with that, I guess...

Caught me off-guard, but updated. Also fixes a bug with MFR.

They should've added duct tape.

And duct tape should work like wrenches.

 

[Redsaphir_CZ]

Big Reactors by @ErogenousBeef updated to 0.4.2A and 0.4.2A2
Bugfixes and more CC support.

I've also added setControlRodName and getControlRodLocation methods to the Computer port.

• The Reconstructor now has a configurable blacklist of things to prevent repairs.
• The recipe has changed such that the redstone reception coil is now simply a piece of redstone dust, and the gear item can be changed in the config using an ore dictionary name. (The default is still gearInvar)

and @zoonie with Interaction Sounds

This mod allows you to play your own custom sounds when you interact in Minecraft using the left and right click of your mouse. These sounds are played to everyone when both server and clients have the mod installed.

Usage
Holding the 'R' key while clicking brings up the menu to assign either an existing sound or a new sound from your file system to the current interaction.

The 'L' key displays a list of your interactions and their assigned sounds.

Sounds are loaded and saved to '~Minecraft~Install~Folder~/sounds/Interaction Sounds/' which is also where InteractionSounds.json is located which stores the interaction->sound mappings. Adding a sound in the game will save it within a folder named by your Minecraft account name.

Config
InteractionSounds.cfg in the config folder has the option to mute default sounds played when you left or right click a block and also has the option to mute the custom sounds of other players in multiplayer.

The dedicated server version of InteractionSounds.cfg lets you specify the length of sounds that can be played on the server. There is also the option to force all players to play the same sounds for the same interactions. This is done by merging the 'sounds' folder from a client into the 'sounds' folder of the server. The server will then be able to load the copied over mappings and all the required sounds.

new day, new update,
and @huanghongxun with Water Power

I was confused why someone would add MJ support, but I just noticed from his comments and changelog that it's actually a MINUS sign in front of it.

It's supposed to be "MINUS" buildcraft MJ support.

Botania's shedding has also been turned off

 

[Golrith]

Botania's shedding has also been turned off

Not a bad thing, shedding requires more processing per entity that sheds, and lots more entities waiting around to despawn. Given the nature of 1.7.10, anything that helps increase performance is a good thing.

 

[Vazkii]

And botania is still outdated.

it did however encourage me to build a villager breeder, something I haven't build in a long long time.
it was a very nice way of getting emeralds early on considering emeralds are a pain to find when mining.
