Magic, Steam and Farming - Modpacks

Need help with pollution control?

I found this video to be an excellent explanation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSRA-XYvVfg

I want to make a modpack with a steampunk feel with many magic options, farming to relax, and possibly most important have enough to do so I don't need to start a new world/pack until my favorite mods have reached version 1.14 minecraft. I think this is a good start!

I Hope to have trains as the best mode of transport over long distance, with horses, ships and airships being stepping stones to a massive railroad. Ice and Fire have been added for mid to late game magic themed flight.

Clay soldiers, for server tournaments.

-A weasel got into the chicken coop and killed off most of the chickens. But on the bright side it increased the price the merchant pays for those goods. (if you have them they are still in game until you place, kill or restart)

-Must run command (on server) /bq_admin default load to update quest book! this will need done with every update

Added resource packs:

TekTopia Notes & Tips:

The rancher and it's AI seem to work well enough with the modded animals from chickens mod, and Animania animals but limited testing.

The butcher does not recognize Animania animals. Vanilla animal spawn eggs and Villagers have been added to the merchant tab.

World GEN Gardens from Pam's harvest craft mess up the villagers pathing, I fixed this by removing the garden and adding a dirt block or removing one.

Guards use vanilla and Spartan weapons I really liked giving them great-swords!

Guards seem to only use vanilla armor. Only tested a few sets.

You will need multiple guards to keep each other alive, one will be over run, I suggest 3 and a cleric currently.

TekTopia villagers only eat vanilla foods!!!

-It is very difficult to keep a world generated village alive if you come across it at the beginning of the game (they starve).

-Any item gathered by a villager becomes a village item (tagged in green print) for example I was growing flax. The villager harvested it and then bot the seeds and string had the green print, these villager items don't stack with items you harvest.

-Scare crows seem to be better than guards against the hordes of zombies.

Thank you to all the mod creators.

The amazing mods:

Interested in making your own mod pack? This is the video series I used to get started.

GUI folder contains the configs of files changed in .9f.

Defaultconfigs folder contains all configs from version .9e restoring these will bring back the look of prior versions.
StandardGUIScaleNormal—was made on a pc with resolution of 1280x1024 with GUIScale set to normal, and fullscreen enabled
widescreenGUI_ScaleAuto—was made on a pc with 1920x1080 resolution with GUI scale set to auto and windowed mode enabled
widescreenGUI_ScaleLarge—was made on a pc with 1920x1080 resolution with GUI scale set to large and windowed mode enabled

Help with GUI

Unless you choose to change everything back using the defaultconfigs folder the other three folders only contain a config for Angel of Vengeance and the placement of its bars.

To see your monitor's resolution, right-click the desktop, choose display settings about halfway down the page it will say resolution and state the resolution underneath.
To check GUI scale (best to do it in game) hit Esc, choose options, choose video settings, GUI Scale is on the left-hand side.
To change the config settings back or try a different file, navigate to the My Modpacks tab right-click the mod pack left click open folder, double-click the config folder. Copy the GUI folder and paste it on your desktop or another location, and open the folder. Choose the config you want to replace, drag it into the config file when asked to replace say yes.

a few other changes, I cant think of atm

Did not update: (to newest version)

Ice and Fire: server tick stopping after a while (I think it is AI issues between ice and fire and TekTopia, but unsure)

Removed:

extra spells to update Electroblob, will put it back in, when it is compatible again

Beta 0.4

World restart required! (Hopefully for the last time.)

Added mods:

TekTopia

Millenaire+all extensions

Plus way more then I took out

Did not update: (to newest version)

Electroblob: game crashed at startup

Ice and Fire: server tick stopping after a while (I think it is AI issues between ice and fire and TekTopia, but unsure)

I am not planning on adding or removing any more mods just updating to the highest version as conflicts allow from this point forward.

Remove recipes:

Emerald chicken: Emeralds are the currency in TekTopia

Added recipes:

Aiegs -Defenders of vanilla villagers and made them not attack the player on chest openings.

Vanilla villager spawn egg

Rabbit hide to rabbits feet

Plus a few others

Added many quests.

They are currently accessed by the ` key next to the one by default, and the quest book you are given at the start.

I am not focusing the pack on quest lines. Instead I'm using the quests to bring different mods/ ways of doing things to the players attention.

I do plan on adding more as the need arises.

Added various repeatable quests that I put in "store"tabs

TekTopia Notes & Tips:

Alpha 0.3

ALPHA build 0.3

A lot of changes have happened.

I "streamlined" except I added more mods than I removed.

90% certain installed mods will not be removed unless there are conflicts.

I don't expect to do any major updates until late fall, except I will add TekTopia villagers mod as soon as I can.

My plan for quest is tutorial/ bring attention to mods or items in the pack.

Re added Oreberries

really sorry about not thinking to check for an ID mod 1st

Thank you to farside.jake for letting me bounce ideas off his head.

1.3

Make sure to make a back up. still testing these updates

forge updated: forge-14.23.5.2820

mods updated except: the betweenlands and alternating flux, simply because the game wouldn't load on other versions. I do not know the conflict.

1.3a

*added recipe: 9 slime using 3 rice and 6 buckets of creosote oil, Not currently displaying correctly shows 6 empty buckets

updated forge-14.23.5.2837

mods updated except: the betweenlands and alternating flux, simply because the game wouldn't load on other versions. I do not know the conflict.

added mods:

only testing I did so far was to just make sure it loads, plays.

Put your spoiler here

1.3b

Recipe tweaks

of note

added a few Ink Black chicken egg recipes

increased golden lasso cost due to no durability, both animal net, and soul bottle have durability.

Liquid recipes currently don't work in assembler

Added Obsidian

Added Slime

added mods:

Superior Shields (by epicsquid319) Bauble slot
Hooked (by thecodewarrior1)
V0id's Smart Backpacks (by v0idwa1k3r) will likely replace Iron Backpacks (by gr8pefish)

1.3c

Added easier crafting recipe for uncrafting table for up coming mod removal. I hope to have a beta of the set mods that will be in when I start with better questing within 2 weeks, no Idea of a time frame for adding quests ect. after that. My hope is by doing this it will eliminate the need for a world restart. I will try to keep this version and the new one separate on here. I never expected so many people to play this, and it makes me want to do a better job by adding the quests and streamline mods. thank you.
