Only in the latest version does Grim Kingdoms introduce structures for other biomes. And I pregenned a lot.

>>579421461
I’m testing it, seems like I can upgrade to Sable 2+ and even No Man’s Land 1.5+, but there’s a lot to tweak and optimise. I’m getting really bad stutters. Maybe that’s because of the dimthreads mod I didn’t remove…

Not adding Create Nuclear because it’s high-tech and there’s no uranium ore in the pregenned chunks. I may add Deep Seas and/or the wind and weather sailing mod. Being able to have a sealed tunnel-bore beneath sea level without needing to be burning through your backtank would be nice.

>>579426497
Anons here have convinced me that TFMG is shit. Maybe worth using in a high tech industrial pack with the right tweaks, but only if that can make it stable enough.

As a modding anon, how feasible would it be to create the following:
>item that falls upwards, and reduces player gravity when held in the player’s inventory
>block that has permanent buoyancy in Sable, where the lift force is a function of air pressure, like a hot air balloon structure
>Thick Air but biome dependant
Ideally sufficiently data-driven that these features can be applied to items from other mods. I’m wondering whether to give up, pay someone else to make these features, or try and vibe code it myself.

>>579480556

>>579490576
>item that falls upwards, and reduces player gravity when held in the player's inventory

Items can be detected in the player's inventory pretty easily like how the game detects if you have an item which unlocks a recipe. You'd just apply the slow falling effect on the player if that item is in your inventory for a brain-dead easy implemetation (for me anyway).

The upward-falling part would probably messing around with the item entity’s Y delta movement/gravity each tick.

>block that has permanent buoyancy in Sable, where the lift force is a function of air pressure, like a hot air balloon structure
Haven’t checked Sable or the other library mods yet desu so I don't know how it works.

>Thick Air but biome dependant
Pretty sure people have been doing this in funny or "hard" datapacks where they randomly start drowning on land. Just check if the player is in a biome you want it to be hard to breathe in and modify the player’s air supply. It's like a timer for the player before they start "drowning". I don't know how Thick Air works exactly so I don't know if this is what you want.

Still an amateur myself so I'm still learning. It's been hard searching for tutorials since many forums like Forge are basically inactive. 1 reply every 24 hours? Maybe there are communities in Discord but I ain't doing that shit. At best maybe you can ask some more and active senior mod dev out there, PM them in modding sites.

>>579504463
At best I’d be copying example projects and existing mod source codes, then bumbling my way through to something usable using old stackexchange posts and free-tier LLMs. At worst the LLM acts as a quicker search engine that can infer which keywords I’m actually looking for, and at best they can write functioning code. I can probably hope for the latter at least for the most basic of code.

Anything that forcefully updates once per tick seems like it might be prone to lag. Maybe I can dig into how Valkyrien Warfare on 1.12.2 handled the etherium shards, they seemed perfectly performant, but the fall damage was just calculated on height, not speed.

Physics object collision damage is a big mistake. Make your door just a tad too heavy and it clips the bearing and destroys it. I've had this happen with gun turrets too. Disable the addon if you can, it's much more trouble than it's worth.
I believe base Aero just has collision damage for leaf blocks which is fine and works great with the tree physics mod.

My bad, I'm retarded. Sorry about that.

>>579521330
Personally I prefer the sleek and simple look of JEI. Also I don't care about the extra tabs EMI adds. However I can see the appeal, especially for modmakers to add this in lieu of actual documentation of changes. You get to hunt for changed ore gen or villager trades or loot tables or whatever, also it shows you which enchantments go on which books, in an obnoxious way but the information is there.

One thing I do like about EMI is the recipe group collapsing. Which SIAnon spent some much appreciated effort on. Way nicer when you only have a few pages of JEI to go through instead of a thousand recolours of the same shit.

is fabric winning over neoforge?

>>579527362
no, I am winning

>>579527362
is this bait? all fabric has to offer is aesthetic and vanilla+ slop. all half-decent content mods are forge exclusive

>>579527362
No, it's pretty niche still. With the creation and increasing stability of Sinytra, there's little reason to use Fabric directly

>>579528559
Ahhh that must be why Fabric API is the most downloaded mod of all time on Modrinth. And why 26.2 fabric mods get 5x the downloads of 1.21.1 neoforge.

I don't get it either, but this is the reality. Fabric is giga popular on the newest versions. Neoforge's only draw is Sable. On the newnumberversions Neoforge is completely dead. Check the download stats on popular mods.

>>579531950
you're pretty retarded, i think
in case you aren't, fabric is used in nuversions (like 26.2, the latest version) for players who are playing in vanilla and only want performance mods. it does that perfectly in a more lightweight way than neoforge does. otherwise, if you want to play modded minecraft, you use neoforge in 1.21.1 or forge in 1.20.1, fabric doesn't have as many expansive mods as forge/neoforge does.

>>579532262
This is the case, Fabric is amazing for client-side mods in vanilla settings. I wouldn't be shock if the most downloaded fabric mods are all client-side only.

>>579532262
Sure, I quite like the quick startup times of Fabric mods, also writing mods for Fabric is slightly more sane than for Forge. I was just responding to someone saying Fabric is niche which is just not the case at all. Look at the most downloaded mods, Fabric language Kotlin is #11 on the list. This is not niche in any way. You are not going to call me retarded for responding to that anon, come on.

Also I would not call Iris shaders a performance mod and that's the third most downloaded, after Sodium and Fabric API. Then we get cloth config which I'm going to be honest I have very little idea what that does.

>>579537241
yes, i am going to call you retarded. fabric is niche for modded minecraft, it is not niche for performance and client side mods for vanilla minecraft. those are two different things.
create for forge/neoforge has 200m downloads, create fabric has 20m.

>>579537521
That's a 10 to 1 ratio, your definition of niche is niche.

>>579537521
if create updates to latest x version, will it be neoforge or fabric?
I say neoforge, but I also heard people in youtube saying fabric is the most popular nowadays, but this was not the case five years ago when I used to play

>>579537241
Iris shaders is exactly the kind of "mod" that someone playing vanilla will install for prettier graphics along its sodium optimisation mods etc.
You yourself just proved the point that the most downloaded list is largely irrelevant when considering actual modding importance since you don't even know what the 4th most downloaded mod is or does.

Is create even getting updated? I don't mean like only maintained, but like new features and more versions. Remember that the team got jobs at that Hytale game.

>>579541217
Neoforge. Create has an unofficial Fabric port, but the official codebase is and will always be based on Forge

>>579516431
If I recall the collision damage in SIA is toned down, a ship falling from gravity shouldn’t get damaged. Kraken events though could be problematic.

>>579517143
Because of a terrain gen library mod (I think it was terrablender) it didn’t work at all. After I spent days tweaking the custom ore veins. But it looks like they’ll work in the updated modpack for some reason, if you venture past the old pre-generation.

>>579517272
I chose EMI for SIA because EMI Ores fetches information from datapacks, while JEI resources just assumes vanilla distributions. But in trying to update them, I’ve reached an incompatibility with the JEI Create addon, so I’ll probably have to wait for that bug report to be acted on.

>Spice of Life Onion
>Create Deep Seas (and Lava Fix)
>Sable: Water Pressure

>>579598073
I want to claw my eyes out reading the ai description for Sable water pressure. Seems shit no?
The seas on sia are quite shallow to my memory, is there much to be doing on a sub? Deep Seas is a pretty good mod but it only gets fun when you go deep in the water. Also be aware it adds a pressure rating to every single block in the game which knowing you you can't resist doing some tweaking on. Might be more time consuming than it's worth.

why are so many aero addons vibesloppas, it was never this bad with just regular create.

>>579603429
the last little bit of shame in the modding community has left and so jeets run completely free now. even in this thread there's a ridiculous amount of slop apology going on compared to what it was even a year ago.
aero is the hot new thing and so jeets have jumped at it to try and get downloads, create was released and got popular before vibeslopping was even a thing, so there was no big event to rouse the idiots like aero releasing is.

>>579601473
If Deep Seas is a complete enough mod that I don’t have to tweak it to hell and back, then I’d like to add it just for its surface ship mechanics. I tried Winds and Weather (or something similar sounding) and it’s buggy and half finished.

I don’t mind vibecoded mods if they do what they need to and don’t kill frames or crash. Big if. If they used claude and aren’t retarded maybe that’s the case. But my hopes aren’t high.

>>579603429
Aeronautics’ release brought out all the schizotypal idea-people who can’t sit in front of a text editor long enough to learn java properly. Like me. While the extant autistic modders remain out of touch to what addons actually need to exist to make the Sable ecosystem full and vibrant, the schizos take the matter into their own hands. Yesteryear that was MCreator, now it’s LLMs.

I’m considering doing some mod slopcoding for myself, though 95% of my code would be copied from other repositories instead. I’d be learning modding like how I learnt Arduino. That said, I fried my last arduino nano today, so that might not be the best analogy.

>>579603704
Yeah the same absolutely would have happened when Create came out if vibecoding was a thing back then. And other modding milestones, like Technic, Feed The Beast, and Crash Landing.

>>579604116
> just for its surface ship mechanics
Doesn't really have too many. You can use the oxygen system to prevent low portions of the ship from flooding. But it's easier to just cover those areas and hide them.
Then there is water thrusters which are faster and more compact than propellers. Which is nice but not crucial.

>>579604116
>I don’t mind vibecoded mods

>I don’t mind vibecoded mods if they do what they need to and don’t kill frames or crash. Big if. If they used claude and aren’t retarded maybe that’s the case. But my hopes aren’t high.
In my view, if even the description is pure vibeslop, then that means there was basically zero human oversight over how the mod was doing since the author cannot even describe his own mod or what it is or does. This basically means that while there's a small chance it works decently well, it's only ever worth trying if you really have a glut of spare time to test it out and stress it in different situations; in most cases the odds are low enough that it's simply not worth it and your time is better spent testing and adding and tweaking other mods that have a better chance of actually working decently.

And some people say
>but the description is not even important to how the mod works, maybe he was careful in the code but just let the clanker write the readme!
But LLMs are actually surprisingly atrocious at writing readmes for end-users, because they have trouble prioritising what a user will actually care about while their own context is filled with technical details and the development process. And yes I use the most expensive claude at work and everything, it still sucks at readmes.
So if you just leave the shitty, uninformative, unreadable slop as the public face of your mod, you clearly did not care enough to fix the LLM's output, and the chance for the code having had any oversight are also extremely low.

i scoffed at better days a few times but since adding it and setting days/nights to 25 minutes each ive been liking it quite a bit. fewer naps but every nap i do take i go back to my room because it's more infrequent. only real complaint is that if it's raining it takes a lot longer to skip it at night, but i havent messed with hammocks yet and i disabled everything in better days besides the day cycle lengthening so.

Oh absolutely. And an AI generated title image is also a big red flag.

>>579606069
Yeah it's actually nice having long days and nights. There's a setting to use real daytime (in canada?), but if you always play at the same time of day you'll be pretty limited, so it's probably better to play with day lengths significantly shorter than a real day, or at least not synchronised. But it might be interesting to have a day length significantly longer than IRL. Maybe synchronised to the moon.

In minecraft you can mine underground whenever you want, but if there were more time specific events (e.g. fishing, unique mob encounters, weather events, NPC actions) it could introduce a bit more nuance, especially with longer day lengths.

Mod that adds randomly spawning aero airplanes and balloons flying over, looks pretty fun to hunt them down

I get the feeling they'd fall out of the sky with modified weight and thrust and SU values like in my pack.

Ok trannies making PRs to enshittify things is one thing.
But what the fuck is this? I thought HBM was supposed to be a decently realistic nuclear reactors mod. Astolfization effect? "Someone's request to make feminization more available"?

The PR seems entirely on-topic if that's what the mod is already like

finished building my mansion, but I'm somehow not satisfied. feel like it needs more detail, somehow make it less flat. any tips?

>>579624489
use more than one block for things

needs more than one solitary off-center window upstairs

some greenery/garden

>>579624489
Nice murder scene you got there.
Use trapdoors as shutters? You could also add a downspout made of fences.

The issue is way too much texture noise on a completely flat cuboidal structure.
Flat brick homes exist but they never look good. Pic related for example is obviously some kind of commieblock-type low cost urban housing, almost certainly either all rented flats or social housing. And even it doesn't look as bad as yours because the brick detail is less obvious IRL at a distance while your brick texture is extremely noisy and loud; and it's still got a tiny bit of shape and detail at least unlike your perfectly rectangular block build.

You need either some detailing to break up the shape, or use a much flatter textured block if you want to go for a more minimalist, modernist type of blocky architecture. Ideally even if you stay with brick you should find one with a much more subdued texture. Just image searching "brick house" or "brick appartment house" will show you what type of details are often included - usually some other type of stone or texture around the windows, some detailing on the facades and under the roof, etc. In fact even finding pic related took me a bit of looking to find a genuinely plain brick house pic, since most houses are not built to such low standards.

stop monoblocking. use different blocks for detail. like replacing corners with logs for example
wall surfaces are too flat. make parts of the wall "pop out" or "pop in". for example, make ledges on the same layer as your first floor, outside "pillars", etc. stairs blocks are great for this

that window is there because it's in the main bedroom, connected to the bathroom. I'm honestly more proud of the interior than the exterior.

>>579626382
some people are just born to be interior decorators o algo

originally, I was trying to make a haunted house, but once I started building the interior, I decided to just make a regular house. I guess I'm just not good with exterior design.

you clearly understand flooring shouldn't be the same as the walls or roof so what happened anon..?

>>579626382
> vertical halfslabs for separate inner and outer walls
> wooden skirting along the bottom
Very nice interior detailing anon, looking comfy. Consider 3 high doors with Dramatic Doors mod. Takes a bit of getting used to but it will feel better later.

Look up some roof shapes, a nicer roof with a bit of an overhang will do a lot for your house I think. Also, a bit of panelling or braces on the outer wall where the first story floor beams would be. Some shutters and something to fill the big empty space on the right side. Maybe some flowerboxes or closed shutters, nobody has to know that there's not actually a window behind there.

well, that skirting comes with the block, it's trimmed light gray wallpaper from the places mod, same with the bathroom tiling. as for the half slabs, I just used framed blocks. I was supposed to put a seperation between the wallpaper and the ceiling but I guess I forgot to do that for the second floor. I really should've done more with the second floor.

this look is still attainable with no or minor changes to the interior
>1
you only need some exterior details to add some depth to the structure. i personally would place some pillars poking out 1 diagonal block from the wall corners. then upside down stairs connecting the walls to said pillar
>2
just make a balcony. use upside down stairs to smooth the corners so it doesn't look too square
>3
it's just a matter of not building cubes. this is harder to pull off the smaller your build is though
>4
you need to use different materials for the pillars to stand out

want to design a structure mod/datapack for sprawling dungeons, thinking about some kind of surface hive that descends

I know I keep taking screenshots from this angle, but I love this build.
I've added more terraces to an area just off-screen where I will be growing red grapes. Trellises should be installed soon enough.
I'll be ready to make wine by next june.
