So, for the sake of making a proper modpack, i've added a few mods that for Sk8's sake will probably need to be removed serverside, but on talking to some people who play minecraft, think it should be added to the pack for people to have, Namely, chisel and decocraft. We can remove those from our spesific packs if needed.
(Sk8 is having trouble connecting even with this ligthened load anyways)
Neen - Today at 7:33 AM
Is adding those a good idea? I'm worried about the client running for sk8 with even more stuff.
Crystal the Memelord - Today at 7:34 AM
As said, we can remove those, i'm just adding them to the 'offical' pack.
But as is his client barely runs anyways.(edited)
Neen - Today at 7:35 AM
Yeah, I don't want it pushed from "barely" to "not" ;P
Crystal the Memelord - Today at 7:36 AM
Well, as said, easy to remove them. I just want to add them to the offical pack set.
It would be like having tinker's tools in a way.
If tinkers tools was causing Sk8 issues so we couldn't include it, we'd remove it from the server of course(edited)
But you'd hardly expect me to not have it in the pack at all, right?
Neen - Today at 7:38 AM
I guess? Personally, not having Tinkers is a very nice change of pace.
Crystal the Memelord - Today at 7:39 AM
Is it? I've personally found myself annoyed.
Like it's refreshing for all of five minutes until you remember how useful it is.
Neen - Today at 7:41 AM
What's useful about it we don't have right now?
Crystal the Memelord - Today at 7:42 AM
Tool modifiers, stronger tools, tools with special abilities?
Right now i'm carrying around 4 iron pickaxes at a time.
Neen - Today at 7:43 AM
Make one prudentium pick and repair it with the blood chest.
Was that what the tier was called? Anyway, served me pretty well.
Crystal the Memelord - Today at 7:43 AM
I don't have the blood chest when i'm 2500 blocks away from the house.
Theres also a lack of interest in tool building so to speak? Like, I just throw whatever together without caring.
Whereas with Tinkers I had options to think about.
Theres a single weapon option
A single pick option
Neen - Today at 7:46 AM
Is... there a specific reason you need 1000 blocks of stone mining potential 2500m from the house?
Crystal the Memelord - Today at 7:46 AM
I try to mine what I see as I explore.
Neen - Today at 7:46 AM
Fair enough.
On single options, Tinkers is the same. By the time you learn it, there's one perfect tool.
Crystal the Memelord - Today at 7:47 AM
Not according to Malt.
Theres diffirent tools for diffirent situations.
But theres again, a lack of care involved. At the very least theres STYLES of tools.
I could use a hammer instead
or one fo the three types of swords.
Rather than a pick or a regular blade.
Hell I might not even have a blade if i've made a badass waraxe.
Like.
I can understand where you're coming front to a degree with it being refreshing to not have it
But I just can't agree that losing such a significant amount of options and power is refreshing.
This modpack doesn't even have weapons that deal over 5 hearts practically.
Highest I noticed when poking at tools was a weapon that did 10 half hearts.
Anyways my point is, we're just plain losing options.
Droping Botania, I get that, it's kinda overwhelming and we've done it a billion times.
But why would you not want Tinkers?
Neen - Today at 7:51 AM
Because I find it too powerful, mostly.
Overshadowing everything.
Crystal the Memelord - Today at 7:51 AM
Thats because theres nothing to overshadow really.
The ONLY other mod I can name that adds weapons/tools that aren't super gimmicky is Botania
And even Botania's stuff is gimmicky.
Even the infernium stuff has a gimmick right?
Extra mob drops or something?
Neen - Today at 7:54 AM
A special dagger for getting materials for mob crops.
The core swords get just progressive strength and durability boosts. The final tier has charms to modify them, didn't look into those yet.
Bows get durability, bonus damage and draw speed.
Crystal the Memelord - Today at 7:56 AM
Well, in terms of core swords then, why would I want those?
If they're just upped damage and durability, why would I want that if it's difficult to get?
And if it's not difficult to get, shouldn't it be?
It's a matter of effort in my opinion. A straight numbers boost is boring. I'd rather just carry around a diamond sword than use some mods fancy tools that try to be impressive by inflating numbers.
I don't know, we clearly have diffirent opinions on this I guess.
Neen - Today at 7:58 AM
Yeah.
To me it's like... why would I bother even looking at these and checking if there's something worthwhile down the line if we have Tinkers?
Crystal the Memelord - Today at 7:59 AM
Why even include them if they're not special? And if they are special, why wouldn't you check them out?
Neen - Today at 8:00 AM
Because Tinkers is familiar to everyone.
You already know how to make a manyullyn cleaver or whatever.
Crystal the Memelord - Today at 8:00 AM
At this point you're using Arin logic.
"I'm not going to try something new even though I added it to my pack."
"Why? Because something way off in the future is better."
"So i'll stick with my shitty options until i reach that point."
