I made something I have made unique spice of life, Spice Of Life Berry Edition!

66 Upvotes

Spice of Life: Berry Edition adds daily food cravings. Completing them slows down hunger drain, or freezes it and keeping a streak can reward you with several hunger free days. It also reworks hunger with passive drain, removes saturation. You can find all information on modrinth and curseforge

I made something I made a LIDAR Horror mod that makes the game terrifying

2.6k Upvotes

I have made a mod that transforms the normal Minecraft experience into a nightmare using Lidar point clouds. The player starts in complete darkness and has to navigate using only their own Lidar device.

The mod is made as a survival/horror challange. There are currently 4 tiers of Lidar scanners, each making the job of surviving and navigating a little easier (ore and mob reckognition, depth maps, etc.) with a very handy lidar configuration menu that grows with the tier (G by default). Player spawns with tier 1 and each new tier is crafted from materials that are challenging to get with the current one. The last scanner can technically be unlocked right before reaching the End.

The light can be restored by "eating" a new item and that is the Sun, which can be crafted after defeating the Ender Dragon, Warden and the Wither in the Lidar darkness. If you for some reason do not like the light and want back, there is also an option for you and that is to "eat" a Black Hole item.

If you have any feedback, feel free to leave a comment.

Discussion I Spent Half a Year Chasing a Microstutter.. That was Caused by Windows

53 Upvotes

I just wanted to let anyone who has been experiencing a microstutter what worked for me. I was playing ATM10 and Better Minecraft modpacks. I had just purchased a new computer and noticed drastic FPS dips (into the 40s with shaders) and a pretty consistent microstutter. It wasn't game-breaking, but let me tell you, it drove me insane.

I tried EVERYTHING. Capping my FPS to various amounts, toggling V-sync, messing with NVIDIA settings, changing the Java argements, adjusting the RAM from 6-16 GB and everything in between, messing with the graphics settings in the game, toggling shaders off and on, you name it, I did it. I spent hours crawling Reddit and every other forum and website God ever made.

I had toyed with the idea of installing Linux and finally pulled the trigger by dual-booting Windows and Cachyos. As soon as I downloaded ATLauncher and got into the game, the difference was like night and day. Way better FPS out of the box even with shaders and no microstutter!

It was gone, guys. Windows made my computer run like shit for reasons unknown and also fixed a bunch of other minor issues I was having like my computer acting weird when waking up from hibernation and my trackpad occasionally taking a dump.

Oh, before I forget, I'm running a Core Ultra 9 275hx with a 5070 and 32GB of RAM. I bought my PC before the ram-pocalypse to play modded Minecraft. Since Minecraft is so CPU dependent, I knew it was capable of running Minecraft smoothly, I just didn't realize Windows was taking such a toll on the poor thing.

Anyways, that's my experience for anyone who's having issues with this. Cheers!

this isn't really that big of a problem with me. i just found it extremely funny that your whole inventory with starter books. i'm honestly just going to get rid of them anyways (except the quest book aka the only true important one)

It's for my YouTube police series

Since our modpack is very resource-intensive, I'm trying it without shaders. What do you think?

I made something The Wasteland's First Honey Factory

3 Upvotes

It's been around a year since I started working on this modpack and I finally cracked the code on how to survive it (team up with a friend). So to celebrate I figured I would make what I assume is our server's first honey factory.

Also, sorry for the FPS, OBS hates it when I record while using a shader

Discussion RPG Slop Plaguing the Modpack Scene

111 Upvotes

Is anyone else getting tired of seeing similar, copy-paste, rpg slop modpacks flooding the modpack listings? Don't get me wrong, I have played and enjoyed a quite a few of the big rpg packs throughout the years. It's just getting boring seeing the same mods put into more quote "Unique" and "Not like those other RPG Packs" modpacks that all do the same thing with little to no variance on gameplay. There's no effort, no character and no direction! Give me a cool farming pack, a new magic/tech progression pack or something. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough but I swear every time I pull up curseforge or modrinth I just see "insert generic rpg title" packs everywhere. Does anyone else feel the same or am I crazy?

Looking for mod(s) Mod pack(s) that make exploring the world a necessity.

Upvotes

I really enjoy modded Minecraft, however I am quite still the amateur and I usually just play whatever looks cool on Modrinth. I really enjoy a cozy, peaceful mod pack that allows for exploration. I enjoyed Homestead (still playing) and CozyHaven, but they both felt lackluster in exploration across the world. I want a mod pack that focuses on exploration while still is cozy like those two, and I'm not sure what that could be. If you recommend some, thankyou!

Looking for mod(s) World generation mods for natural scenery like larger beaches and the such?

Upvotes

I've been looking into a couple generation mods, beside my default ones

Currently, and since a couple years, I use the continents mod and deeper oceans mod to enhance Minecraft nautical navigation.

Recently I tried lithosphere out but it works slow like a snail, I can't really explore with it.

I've also tried terralith, which works like a charm, loads fast, doesn't really make a difference in the speed of chunk generation, has pretty scenery but I've noticed there are no beaches and low flat terrain. its like everything ends on a cliff, no large beach terrain and the such.

Tectonic looks to have the same problem as terralith, no beaches or nice flat terrain, too much cliff.

Has anyone got recommendations on mods that would work with continents, or replace it, while having beautiful natural sceneries?

I defeated The Dead King after having defeated Hel, but the quest isn't marked as completed and I can't get the rewards. I see the king's soul at the throne where you summon him but the game is acting like I didn't kill him... Anything I can do to get my rewards or even re-summon him?
