That's something that always really annoyed me; Requiring x amount of bookcases around an enchanting table. It's another one of those railroading things in a sandbox game. So everyone's going to take these decorative blocks and lay them out in almost the exact same way so they can use them for a function. How many times have you seen a player with an "enchanting room" which is the table surrounded by bookcases? Because you NEED to have it like that in order for it to work.

Magmarashi posted:You can use pistons to shuffle bookcases in and out of range of the enchanting table and that will reroll the enchantments as well This is only partially true. Shuffling the books will change the enchants, due to different numbers of books being in range, but it will not re-roll the enchantment for a specific number of books. i.e. if 7 bookcases in range gets you Bane of Arthropods III for your sword, 7 bookcases will only ever get you that until you enchant something else. I've got a fully adjustable enchanting room for just this reason, so that I can min/max what I'm trying to get and then drop down to the lowest level useful enchant to stick on a book so I spend less XP shuffling the deck. The book feature is a good one I think, especially that you can combine books to raise enchanting levels. Throwing a bunch of cheap Unbreaking I enchants on books to shuffle the deck works out OK as you can later combine all of them up to a single level III book to throw on whatever. I'm with Vib Rib on a lot of that though. The big ones are beacons and disenchanting. Beacons are a stone-cold bitch to get, cost a ton of resources, and don't do anything that potions can't for a fraction of the cost. If you want beacons to be the end game coolness, give them novel useful effects. Off the top of my head:
 Disenchanting is the big one. On the Nameless server I've got a conjoined zombie/skeleton dungeon built into an XP grinder. I am drowning in random enchanted items. I would love to be able to stick an enchanted item and a book in an anvil and spend the XP needed to normally enchant said item with the enchants it has, but instead use that to pull its enchants off onto a book. gently caress knows I don't need Protection III leather boots, but I'll gladly pull that off to stick on my diamond gear. Hell, even make it so that you have to fully repair the enchanted item first before you can disenchant it if you want extra cost associated, but goddamn, that should be in the game.

Since other mods added marble so much earlier than vanilla did, and did it better, most of those still kept their own version of marble.

Tinkers is one of my favorite mods, like almost every mod, it is a tad more complicated than I would prefer. I just like building this massive device that does things, and then having all kinds of smaller things I can make with it, sometimes all at once. And then using those small things to make others things. It really puts the the craft in Minecraft for me. And it makes farming for materials more fulfilling. Dumping a full batch of ore into the smelter and having it fill is pleasing to me for some reason. Much better than vanilla smelting. It is also nice that there are usually extra materials to use, though I do think that is kind of where it gets a little less intuitive in most modpacks. I am also a big fan of Harvestcraft for all the new crops to grow, but I have yet to see a modpack/set up that makes it both worth it and fun to grow a variety of foods. I have seen nutrition mods before, but most seem way more annoying than fun. I think more simple systems for saturation and some buffs would be good enough, instead of the crazier stuff like penalties for eating too much of the same thing, or needing to balance your nutrients...

The 1.7.10 Pack is the closest I've seen to giving Pam's Harvestcraft purpose without a hunger mod, and it's just that there's quests in the HQM questbook for poo poo like a stack of supreme pizzas, a stack of mixed salads, some nutella, etc. I did Blightfall with Pam's and the hunger mod and it really just encourages you to tote around a bag of holding full of stacks of different food instead of a single stack of a single food. The 1.7.10 Pack does lose points for not having Cooking for Blockheads, which at least takes some of the hassle out of working with the Pam's stuff for making poo poo like dough where you need water in the recipe. Something's wrong with the food mod if I'm honestly rigging up a Cyclic Assembler to an Aqueous Accumulator to make loving dough.

I fully admit you're correct but my setup for dough and salt for Agrarian Skies was like the perfect metaphor for modded Minecraft as a whole. Setting up complicated machinery for its own sake (or in this case one quest's sake) and nothing else, but drat is it a cool little machine.

Something's wrong with the food mod if I'm honestly rigging up a Cyclic Assembler to an Aqueous Accumulator to make loving dough. One time HQM quests seem more like a pointless chore than just having a small lunchbox of various different varieties of food. Pam's is garbo without Blockheads, but with it it can be strangely fulfilling to collect tons of different seeds and have a really big, varied garden/farm, with hunger getting easier and easier to take care of as you can make meals with more ingredients. The best combination i've found with it is when a mod adds near-instant health regen when you are at full shanks of hunger and have any amount of saturation, trading saturation for hearts (I have no idea which mod does this, I've just seen it in at least two modpacks) - then having high quality varied food is essentially a health potion and the diminishing returns on food makes it so you can't just get the equivalent of infinite healing potions out of a stack of bread. I'd rather make a variety of food than deal with making health/regeneration potions with vanilla brewing which is kind of rear end.

I always end up using Applied Energistics to auto-craft ~9 different PBJ sandwiches. High saturation & enough variety that I just eat them in sequence and never suffer from the diminishing returns.

I wanted to make my home base out of this village. why on earth do villagers rip out partially grown plants and put a new seed there randomly. who on the dev team at mojang was playing minecraft and thought "you know, I'd really prefer it if villagers took away the progress my crops had towards growing, but only some of them, and replaced them, but with a random plant so my farmplots will be a patchwork of different plants growing at different times" LazyMaybe fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Dec 20, 2016 |
