>tfw no minetest server ever again

>tfw the minecraft serb got ran over by griefing faggots

>tfw we'll never have anything like 4chan's 4craft for 8chan

Speaking of, was anyone there for that? It was so shortlived that I'd be surprised if anyone remembers.

that looks sick man

>>14861472

superflat is not comfy

>>14861767

would you mind sharing what mods you use now? Didnt know a new version of thaumcraft was released

>>14862010

Well, Mojang revealed four new enemy designs they came up with for the next version, then said they were only making one and putting it to a vote which one they would make. And the vote was done through twitter during a con panel that lasted for only a few hours, meaning most of the voters only knew what the monsters looked like and had no idea what they did, and half the world was asleep at the time the votes were taken. As a result, the one that won is a flying, spooky ray that starts spawning at night, if you've gone too long without sleep. This essentially means it's a non-threat in singleplayer, since sleeping is really easy and you're practically encouraged to do it, anyway, and it will be impossible to avoid in populated servers, since everyone has to sleep at the same time for anyone to sleep, and coordinated a whole large server to do that is near impossible. The rest of the update looks like it might be good, though, as they're adding actually decent underwater content. The woman they have implementing the mobs of the update, though, refuses to allow players to ride dolphins, as that would be "animal abuse."

i think i missed the minecraft ship

>>14862056

I think it's good to say that Minecraft is finally on deaths door

>>14861527

I remember. I don't think it would work as well here due to the greater difference in users between boards, but at the same time I'd like to see what would happen

>>14862045

>refuses to allow players to ride dolphins, as that would be "animal abuse"

>woman logic

fucking hell

>>14862098

>water no longer being blocks

the fuck? what else would it be then?

>>14862191

There's a running theory that she's just too incompetent to program it, but won't admit it. Players can step on and squish sea turtle eggs, for instance, which is more abusive than riding dolphins.

>>14862218

>too incompetent to program it

I've been saying for years now, that's why nothing substantial was added since notch stopped coding it himself, nobody knew how to fucking modify his code or add anything new

>>14862229

For the amount of money they put into buying Mojang why didn't they just hire somebody to fix this shit.

>>14862236

Because micro$oft's number one priority is diversity these days which is why windows 10 and all their other products are garbage

>>14862236

microsoft buying mojang was a tax write off for all the money they made in sweden

all the money they had to pay back in taxes to the IRS went into buying mojang to avoid having to pay it thanks to some legal loop hole

same reason they bought nokia

>>14862045

She also said that they would never implement sharks because players could kill them and that was horrible because sharks are threatened and endangered. Apparently being able to kill sea turtles is a-ok though.

>>14862342

The latest version is trash. Mojang always adds unnecessary bullshit that doesn't truly add to the experience, but just gives it more pointless fluff instead.

The best version in my opinion is anyone before they added that shitty new combat system.

>>14862274

she is thinking with her feelings i bet she favor sand niggers too with that attitude

My so plays minecraft o an android tablet a lot.

Is there any good add on that i should buy?

Absolutely untrue, Minecraft got fucked when they released 1.6 beta which littered the world in ugly tall grass.

>>14862960

You go develop mods for minetest, because minecraft is 100% permanently fucked due to never ever getting a proper modding API.

>>14862363

>pirate friendly

>inb4 someone suggests minetest which feels like shit

Tbh tho i'd be happy with anons setting up a pre-shit-update minecraft server. It would be even more fun if it was modded, maybe a few magic mods and something like tinkerer's construct.

>>14864089

actually, you know what would be REALLY fun? if we played with that mod that came out before villages were implemented, it was called towncraft or civilization craft (not the servers) or something? it was fuckin amazing, it basically allowed you to give resources to villagers and their village would gradually expand and get better.

>>14862960

the feed the beast launcher modpacks including a fuckton of shit like witchery, technik and so on kept me interest back in the day.

no idea how i came up with >>14864113

>>14862056

not too late there will also be retrograde servers full of people that missed the old days.

notch leaving was the downfall

them adding hunger was another

Microsoft buying them out is another

and the final nail is the combat update.

>>14864224

Yeah, Millenaire is great. I definitely recommend getting the mods for it in regards to culture buildings and textures though. Also, the fucking painterly pack isn't working no more, doesn't let you make custom packs, but everything else it has is downloadable.

>>14864325

>I definitely recommend getting the mods for it in regards to culture buildings and textures though.

Could you elaborate and/or post links on this? I haven't used that mod in years.

tbqh minecraft was shit the moment they started adding RPG mechanics, not just hunger

it should have been a dwarf fortress lite in 3d, which was notch's original vision

Does mobile minecraft have microtransactions or something? Anyway, you should get a shotgun and commit murder suicide with your gay lover.

>>14862342

>>14862349

The best version is one with good mods. A few that come to mind are 1.2, 1.5 and 1.7.

I wish somebody would create basic some "AI" tools for NPCs to make these towns or cities feel less hollow or soulless. Like it would neat to script guard NPC form formations & patrol down roads for hostile NPC or factions. Then once their patrol is over they would go do their player made homes.

FUCK THESE PIECES OF SHIT WITH THEIR INTRUSIVE JEWRY

>>14864284

>>14864664

Do you remember when notch showed a preview for gears?

Fuck, this game had so much potential.

For me it's not that they added rpg mechanics, it's that they never implemented full mechanics.

All the shit that they added is random, half-assed, meaningless things.

This game was fucked the moment it changed it's target audience.

>>14864808

>have to download twitch app to play with mods

what in the absolute fuck? how can they even get away with that?

>>14864823

Shit even I don't remember him showing off gears at all, and I was playing when it was only creative and you could play in your browser.

Somebody did make a gears mod though, and it was really just for vertical redstone signals, you could place the gears on any surface of a block, there was a lever gear and torch gear for input and output, and tiers of gears for speed I think.

I do know that when cauldrons were added they were originally going to be for potion making, changing texture inside when you've thrown ingredients in, but notch decided it was too complex and not intuitive to use. Know what cauldrons do now? They extinguish fire within a small radius in exchange for using up a bottle's worth of water from the cauldron.

test do not reply

>>14864871

>Cauldrons

No anon, they also work for dying leather armor now! So useful :^)

Fuck all of their team man, I remember the mod Ars Magica, where you used cauldrons to brew shit, and that was dope.

>>14864890

You sure that was ars magica and not witchery? Ars magica was more crafting custom spells and spending days grinding levels to be able to cast the complex spells.

>>14864909

I was trying to look for the original tekkit modpack but what I found was updated past 1.2.2 which defeats the fucking point.

>>14864940

My bad, it was Thaumcraft. I always get those two names mixed.

>>14864983

In millenaire? That culture is available as a part of that mod- you could even contribute to it- Millenaire is highly customizable.

>>14864940

oh as it turns out I was searching the wrong category, somehow ended up in community modpacks instead of official, so tekkit 1.2.5 is still available

I could run this as a server for a while

>>14864998

texture pack is john smith, the best ever

>>14865003

Is it legit Minecraft or some open source standalone version?

>>14864871

>have to download twitch app to play with mods

Not mods, just a pre-compiled modpack from curseforge, and even that isn't entirely true. MultiMC has support for curseforge modpacks, and I know there are a few programs for downloading the packs outside a client. This is all because of the damn permissions bullshit, too.

>>14865015

>open source standalone version

what? the texture pack?

>>14865032

I hate the permissions bullshit that surrounded mods, notch giving modders any permissions was one of the biggest mistakes he made

>>14865515

Good mod, let's you be a mage but you need to work in order to improve your abilities.

It can get really autistic if you want to get really powerful (but not like the nuclear reactor mods) and has cool gimmicks.

The only bad thing it relies too much on one called "magic auras".

You see, in this mod casting magic or special items and blocks consume some elemental power from the aura, and auras come from balls of magic.

This becomes annoying because if you craft a fire orb to use on your wand, then you consume fire energy from the aura, and this means that the fire energy can deplete.

Yes, this means you cannot use your fire power and need to use another one.

And yes, this becomes highly annoying, because this mod also relies on having to create labs.

It's a fun mod, but that mechanic is really bad.

>>14865445

simongamer987

>>14865574

Last time I did thaumcraft it required wasting infinite amounts of time doing easy but laborious puzzles to unlock things, fought every step of the way to prevent automating use of the machinery, refused to work correctly with other mods, would completely fuck entire chunks of the world over time, and was generally too autistic even for the minecraft community.

I don't get what people see in it. The production values are high but the result is garbage.

>>14865515

The guy fucked off after making 5, now he's back but TC6 has been in beta for ages.

>>14865648

Well, the ideas are neat, magic is customizable but easy to manage, the different abilities are cool and useful (the grappling, mining and that "ender tunnel" orbs are fantastic and feel natural to the game).

Having an essence extraction lab with organized pots is aesthetically pleasing, and dedicating a building to that infusion mechanic is amazing and feel truly powerful when doing so.

But i do agree that the payback isn't that great and feels lackluster.

Also i cannot point out enough how annoying is having to deal with the "magic auras", forcing you to move around, even though all the mod seems to revolve on needing a main base to move to new tiers of blocks.

>>14865689

Click get comments to feel more pain

>>14865574

>>14865681

How long has it been since you played it? Each major version is almost completely different from the others. TC5 (and maybe 4, can't remember) had a aspects and nodes, where each item contained a certain number and combination of "aspects", which you used up to make items and other things. Nodes were floating, normally invisible, ball of energy that supplied the environmental magic. Nodes could be drained of their aspects, but they could also be created, and certain nodes could even be fed aspects to boost their supply. TC6 seems to work differently, though.

>>14865745

Yeah, nodes.

Read about them on the wiki, saw videos, tried it on creative… but it's useless.

They should get rid of that, it's a high skill mechanic that holds hostage the rest of the mod.

>>14865757

So you're saying it should be casualized? Besides, as far as I can tell, TC6 no longer has nodes, and the aspect system has been reworked into something else.

>>14865762

Not casualized, but reworked.

The addition of nodes hurt the mod the same way hunger hurt the base game: It's an annoying feature that fucks with the flow of the gameplay.

I'm glad he changed it in TC6, hope he finishes it.

after leaving and not not touching it for years, I have to admit that just playing minecraft for 30 minutes or so in the evening is quite comfy

doesn't really leave you amped up like playing a FPS

actually still a great game if you ignore all the cancer

>>14865811

and a dad

>>14865487

gregtech is all you need, ever

>>14865648

I remember thaumcraft back before it was compatible with smp, and it was really promising at the time but the whole "taint" mechanic sucked balls even then, because you would eventually encounter a tainted chunk that generated on it's own, and it was virtually impossible to purify them because taint would corrupt faster than you could use vis filters to purify the aura, a purification setup being so costly that you'd have to be in creative to have enough of them for ONE chunk, you were better off leaving it and traveling far from it. The bright side was the rune magic, portal runes were great because would keep the chunk loaded they were in and render the other side in the portal you looked at, I miss being able to actually SEE what's on the other side of portals.

The mechanics however, were far simpler and didn't require you to grind puzzle minigames for research or go around with a golden magnifying lens scanning everything in an arbitrary order.

When the scanning mechanic was introduced it was fun exactly once and then never again, but still nothing was done to rectify the problem of "taint", it was still a problem that was best left ignored.

Then the stupid fucking warp mechanic was added so you'd inevitably become a vampire that burns in daylight and gets attacked by phantoms 'hurr ur hallucinations have manifested eat a dick'.

>>14865845

I actually liked the idea of warp, the idea of becoming mad from power is interesting, but it needs to be tuned.

>>14865845

Yeah, I played through it once back when it was all about taint and toobs and got mad that I couldn't really stop it from self-destructing even exploiting it by spamming blocks of silverwood everywhere. It's like, he always has a set of interesting and good ideas but can't ever apply them in a way that isn't just pure clumsy autism that eventually permanently ruins a game.

>>14865860

the problem I have with it is that it's unavoidable, it's not like there's just a section of dark magic that will warp you, making the big furnace is enough to give you warp

a FURNACE gives you warp

then when it gets bad enough the constant assault of phantoms and the sound of throbbing cocks in your ears requires you to make stockpiles of soap to prevent the effects of warp, it's just like spamming repel items in the cave to prevent zubats from raping you

>>14866147

Autism has no genetic or environmental correlation, aside from (possibly) being caused by a testosterone-rich womb environment.

>>14862045

The phantom was probably only added to dissuade AFK farms, so Microsoft can continue in their quest to make Minecraft as grindy as possible by removing all resource-gathering "exploits". The endgame, of course, is making it so it requires microtransactions to be able to gather resources faster than glacial speed. Mark my words, an update nerfing beacon effects is coming soon.

Also, it's a simple command-block to allow for one-person sleeping for multiplayer. Lots of servers have it just so the night can be skipped if people are AFK.

>retards in this thread thinking simongamer isn't satire

>try to play thaumcraft survival mode

>all you do is literally complete recipe after recipe but this time it's separated amongst several crafting tables

>>14866168

That mongolian sure likes her liquor.

>>14866223

I completely forgot that AFK farms were a thing, I think the last time I even made one was on 2b2t when you could still find anything within a few miles of spawn. AFK farms were completely unnecessary when it came to modpacks.

>>14866223

M$ doesn't care about the Java version, though. I'm pretty sure the only reason they haven't axed it is to avoid backlash. It's the Win10 version that they'll insert micro-transactions into.

>>14866507

Builders isn't a good game.

>>14866524

It is. Relative to minecraft its a masterpiece. Relative to other games its OK. I hope the second game improves a lot.

>>14866581

I played through the demo and found it boring as shit. It's minecraft with the fun removed. Is putting pots in a roped-off area for points that fun? Does it get massively better at some point? I heard it was just doing that same shit over and over.

>>14866494

I'm considering putting up a server for tekkit classic today.

Old school ic2, equivalent exchange, buildcraft and forestry.

>>14866507

>>14866524

I never even heard of this, what differences does it have?

>>14866524

Builders is fucking great you faggot.

>>14866684

Uh huh. Even user reviews for the thing are mediocre. Maybe you just like bad games?

>>14866649

I am talking about Dragon Quest Builders 2.

>>14866648

A yeah the Singleplayer campaign that has one pretty good world Rimdular and is otherwise pretty OK. It gets held back by your settlement's cramped building space. Kept me longer entertained than the game it is aping. What you are talking about is the way the game teaches you what it considers X room and y room. If you don't like villagers automatically making food and healing items for you, you can ignore it and play it like vanilla Minecraft. The best part is the multiplayer mode that has many challenges hidden on the islands.

>>14866659

First there is the settlement system. If you build specific rooms, the inhabitants either do shit for your or get more health, can arm themselves better etc. There are way more things to craft than in minecraft. Way more creatures to deal with as well. Furthermore the switch version comes with a special pixel art material. The best thing about it is the way it handles storage. You have big central chest that keeps anything you collect for you while you can continue gathering.

>>14866718

8.0 and 8.3 for the Switch and PS4 version respectively. That's the score old PC magazines needed to justify masturbating to a game for 5 pages. You are just contrarian faggot over the singleplayer campaign.

http://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/dragon-quest-builders

http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/dragon-quest-builders

>>14866718

Maybe your just a jew faggot.

>>14866659

Hitler?

>>14866758

Oh it's dragon quest builders? I thought it was yet another minecraft clone.

>>14866343

The issue was never finding things, it's getting them quickly and in large amounts, especially for huge autismprojects that require more materials for a single build than most players use in their entire world. Yeah, you can mine iron for months, sure; but most people would rather just afk an iron farm overnight a couple times. It's not really an "exploit" because it requires time and effort and skill, and either knowledge or the ability to follow a tutorial, to make the farm in the first place. Most people also embellish them so they become decorative as well as functional. It was the same thing with duping machines or bedrock removers or damage boosters that required manipulating chunk boundaries, redstone, item hitboxes, entity behavior, etc. Is it really cheating if it takes significant effort and knowledge to produce results? That sounds a lot like the real world. It also gives a flexibility to vanilla that modpacks can bring to the table, making it more of a game of just mining and crafting, because you're literally building machines/factories that produce resources for you.

But no, they always do their very best to remove all of those. They call them "bugs". It's fucking mind-blowing that they are this stupid about what the players actually want, so I have to assume that it's part of a slow money-making scheme.

>>14866440

If they one day cut the Java version afloat, I'd be pretty happy, because it means no more bullshit. Will I miss out when they (possibly) get around to making the Nether and End as interesting and various as they are making the oceans right now? Sure. But I'd also not have to worry about new shit that's purpose-designed to be un-fun.

>>14864075

>>14864142

Which version for all this?

Just loaded up the tekkit server, going to try logging into it.

>>14867597

I forgot how terrible redstone power volcanoes were.

>>14867639

Yeah they are really shit. Also turns out that forestry isn't in tekkit classic, but whatever.

Anyway the server is up and running, I've got offline authentication so when anyone logs in they can set a password for their name with /setpass x

spawn is in a jungle biome

address: 162.255.214.106:25565

if it's too awful I can always change to another version/modpack.

>>14867960

oh yeah maybe I should link the modpack too

https://www.technicpack.net/modpack/tekkit.552560

>>14869178

some jap made a mod that changes the player model to a mmd model

>>14873574

This. I already have guns, spaceships and stuff, but what's the use if there's nothing to explore?

>>14873574

>>14882044

It sounds like you guys probably want to try out Hexxit, or other modpacks with a similar theme. That one was all about running around, exploring the landscape and a couple of alternate dimensions, killing monsters, delving into dungeons and so on.

>>14882118

I'm not a fan of modpacks. I prefer choosing my own mods because they never have every one I want, or they have a lot of stuff that clashes with the other mods or that I'll never use.

>>14866168

What the fuck, is she trying to kill herself with alcohol poisoning?

>>14882124

Fair enough. Looking over the list of mods in Hexxit, Better Dungeons, Ruins and Twilight Forest were the mods that really added new enemy types and structures and such, while mods like ExtrabiomesXL, Natura and Wild Caves 3 were more about improving the scenery and adding in more animals and plants.

I'm sure there are at least a few other mods out there by now that are all about adding new structures and enemies and alternate dimensions into the world. I suppose the only question is how many of them are actually any good.

>>14866494

>just leave peeps alone to do their own thing without a gay hunger bar

I tried that on mine it was for a thread in fact, i'd do one again now but i'm still burned out from last time and i have things to do this week and it went pretty well. I used a confusing combination of two or three different plugins because there wasn't a single one that made food heal you, disable hunger, and prevent food from healing the hunger bar at the same time. I'll zip them up if you want, but it would be better to use a Forger server with the HungerStrike mod.
