Considering the primary reason I want villagers, having to do it the hard way seems entirely fair.

Now I'm worried.

@forsaken1111
   Yeah, you can easily forget some of the lesser used things quite easily. After all, how often do you really need to turn a zombie villager into a normal villager? You generally just have a village somewhere. I only remember it because Docm had an interesting video recently with all kinds of havoc while trying to do just that. Oh and if you don't mind since I have not really been following the thread(I just popped by because my inbox had like 6 or 7 messages all in a row saying there was new replies here) whats happening.

Yeah I forget about vanilla stuff all the time. Whats happening: I am making a new 1.6.2 tech server which is up in testing mode and will be releasing a client pack probably within the hour so you can connect to it.

Can't use multimc any more.

Huh, what's wrong with MultiMC?

Nothing is wrong with it, its a great program. It just doesn't work with 1.6.2 yet, and may never be updated to do so.

Muahaha.


So, got a list of the kind of mods you're adding? I'm still on 1.5 with my own personal pack and I haven't really been keeping up with 1.6.2 updates and new mods and whatnot.

[forsaken1111]

I have most of them, will post a modlist as well along with the client pack.

I have the client pack down to a simple unzip with a few steps, so it may even be easier than multimc. hm...

   The biggest advantage of MultiMC was ease of use with multiple instances of MC which doesn't matter much with your pack as its a specific pack. If you where trying to have a couple different versions of the game running around all with varying degrees of being modded MultiMC would be a life saver but you just need a specific version running a specific set of mods so it would probably be easier even if MultiMC was updated. Of course this discounts the preinstalled user base with MultiMC which would probably make it easier just because people would know whats up.

You can do that now with profiles using the default launcher. Trust me, if MultiMC worked with 1.6.2 I would use it. This launcher they made is strange. At least you don't have to edit the jar any more, ever.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Yes you can do it but as you say it is strange. Also MultiMC did more then just have profiles. It had the ability to manipulate what mods where in said profile.

[forsaken1111]

All true. Unfortunately the guy behind MultiMC said iirc that he has no current plans to update it.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Last I had checked he wasn't dropping it, he just wasn't working on it though there where some that where. Actually let me look to see if I can find the place I found said info.

Here it is

[forsaken1111]

Oh good, that's new to me. Glad to see it might get updated.

Okay fair warning: I have some difficulty mods on here. I can't put in the ones which make the mobs harder yet as they're not updated but I do have things like gregtech. Some things are nerfed, some are harder than they could otherwise be. It takes 6 iron to make a bucket, for example, and you need a hammer to do it. I enjoy the difficulty.

Client download: http://bit.ly/1chdWgQ

Spoiler: Install instructions (click to show/hide)

1. Go to http://mineCraft.net/download
2. Download mineCraft.exe (Put it wherever, this is the launcher)
3. Run mineCraft.exe
4. Log in with your mineCraft login/password
5. Click Play

This will download and install mineCraft, usually to the C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\.mineCraft folder. Once this is done and you are on the mineCraft's main menu, exit the game and close the launcher. (If you want it installed somewhere else, you can change that in the profile before clicking play)

6. Navigate to the C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft folder. Easiest way to do this is to type %appdata% in your the run programs window, or into the address bar above any explorer window.
7. Download the clien pack here: http://bit.ly/1chdWgQ

Inside you should find 4 folders: Versions, Mods, Libraries, Config and the file servers.dat

8. Extract all files/folders in the client pack to the .mineCraft folder. If asked whether you want to overwrite files, say yes.
9. Run the mineCraft.exe launcher again.
10. In the bottom left where it says your username, click Edit Profile
11. Next to "Use Version:" is a dropdown. Click it and choose "Release 1.6.2-Forge9.10.0.8.10" then save the profile.
12. Click Play
13. Click Multiplayer
14. Click Blood and Industry server (should already be added, if not the address is 199.229.253.56)
15. Click Join Server

I think I'd like this if tool durability wasn't eighthed or whatever it has.

Having stone tools break after 30 blocks or something is really irritating. And the wood, too.

Use flint for your tool head and wood or bone for the handle and you'll get a lot more durability... or just cast some all-metal ones using the smeltery. Using smelting, a pickaxe only takes 2 ingots which is a single ore block.

   Well I record the hour and so that I was on the server and my end conclusion is I probably won't be playing on it that much. I can see the point where stuff would get less tedious but as is I am stuck deep in the tedious part. Oh and I think the wood nerf is both unneeded and harmful as it only hurts people who are starting out even with treecapitator. Though I must admit I am quite tired right now so I reserve judgement on everything besides the wood till later.

No worries. The server is intended to be difficult because on the whole I find minecraft fairly easy. Much too easy. Once we have some basic infrastructure up it won't be so bad for others to jump start.

[The Darkling Wolf]

I'm quite enjoying the difficulty so far.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   I would like to make the distinction that I did not say hard but rather tedious. I died once and that was just because I did not want to ruin my cavern floor with a creeper explosions. A couple of the things like making some of the tools hardly last at all and wood only giving 2 planks doesn't actually make the game hard. It just makes you grind more. Of course this is early stuff but I don't really see why it was done, especially with those 2 things. Though I guess it really comes down to your definition of hard really. Because if roguelikes have taught me one thing, its that everyone has a different idea of what hard is. This just might not be my cup of tea.

[forsaken1111]

Understandable. I did warn you that I was using things like gregtech.

Either way it should be more fun once we build up basics and more mods are updated.
