1.12.2 has stayed the golden standard due to following versions declining in performance over time, especially in multiplayer.
So what is the deal with Gregtech anyways? I know the creator was involved in some sort of drama, at one point the forestry mod would deliberately crash the game if you tried to install gregtech as a middle finger. What did the guy do to make himself so devisive?
He unleashed torment upon autism itself by creating his fucking mod with hundreds of hours of busywork to make singular machines. Entire teams of people burn out playing gregtech just trying to get to HV wiring.
I got burned out by the MV era because I barely figured out how to do energy generation and I had no idea how to start oil processing. It's fun autism, but it's an extreme dose that only the greatest autists will manage to go through. Though I wish there were tech modpacks that have a similar guidance and complexity of GTCEu but using conventional tech mods like IC2 or Thermal mods. Plus some magic and world exploring mods for a complete modded Minecraft package, something for everyone. It's always fun when you get a few people to play a modpack like this and everyone does what they want to do, be it tech, magic or exploration.
Ive always thought ice and fire is perfectly fine and you rarely encounter overworld dragons with the correct settings. They can be dicks but they have a pretty large radius in which you wont feel their wrath and a very loud auditory warning from render-distance away if they are anywhere nearby.
To add to your point, 1.16+ Ice and Fire changed the world spawn range of the dragons to make it more fair (along with adding some newer stuff alongside it).
Yeah, that's because the modpacks that do include the mod never bother changing how close they are from the world spawn. Resulting in a lot of bullshit situations.
If you have more info about it, tell the people at Archive Team about it via IRC, someone'll probably go ahead and archive what they can and dump it somewhere. They have a page about CurseForge but no updates about them deleting old mods, so now's the time to let them know.
I did. Turns out most of these mods are still present on the "Legacy" version of Curseforge. The person I talked with told me it was still worth archiving due to the danger of the Legacy site maybe disappearing one day, and the mods with it.
Did they inform you about a way to archive all mods with proper cataloguing? A piece of software or a script maybe? Since the only Curseforge dump on IA from 2017 is just raw .jar files in a single archive.
No. I can only assume they will do an archive of it themselves.
Depends on which modpack I'm playing at the time.
I've had a lot of fun with vintage story, and I'm excited to really dive into it in a few more years after they've ironed some more kinks out. The way that the game functions also opens up so much potential when it comes to modding - the fact that temperature is a factor, for example, and the way that farming/crafting works. I'm really interested in how they implement rivers and other aspects in the future.
Here is the GTM forum post regarding the supposed EULA violation.
