Today’s game is Modded Minecraft. I took a brief break from Fallout New Vegas because some friends asked me to setup (and play) a Modded Minecraft server with them due to me being the only computer guy and this was the base I setup.

I’m hiding underground from a Dragon from the Ice and Fire mod that was chasing me until I can construct ICBMs to launch at it or someone else can kill it. We’re going to ignore my hunger because one of the mods fucked up vanilla mob spawns and I have to fix it tomorrow.

    Modded Minecraft is the nest, Ice and Fire is a really fun mod, idk if thats the one where you can tame and ride the dragons as a mount but its fun. If you have a lot of time, and kinda get an itch scratched from factories, Project Ozone 3 is a crazy huge modpack that is really fun

      I’m a sucker for ye olde Attack of The B-Team and Tekkit. But usually I play 1.16.5 since none of my friends really like those mod packs

        Nice! I like some packs for that era of release. Create is my weak point but I like what it can do.

        I was big on ftb hermitpack, mc eternal, and sky adventures.

        I’ve been playing atm 9 on a much more recent release.

        I am a big fan of it, but I basically only play vanilla Minecraft on my server with friends

    My partner and I started playing another modded MC game last night. I always do all the tech mods, automation, digital storage, and building, and she does the magic, farming and husbandry.

    We’d been using Fabric for quite a while but since I felt a longing for Mekanism, we decided to make it Forge. It’s not ideal since it isn’t necessarily as performant, and the loading times are a lot longer than Fabric, I just really wanted the convenience that Mekanism offers. Hopefully, more mods and modpacks will switch over to NeoForge.

      Thats how my friend group is. I’m the only tech mod person so I have a monopoly on all the engineering things, and the other 3 have their magic mods

      I remember loading Minecraft would take 15 minutes just to get to the start screen with Forge. It might be better now, and it wasn’t always that bad.

      Personally I start an industrial empire and get the rest of the server in my back pocket because I’m the only person with supplies to produce Guns and Missiles. But also it just kind of depends on the mod pack.

      Nearly every server is different, but the ones my friends/wife and I always did (10+ years ago) were like role-playing kingdom building maps. Server owner (usually me) would hold the title of King/Sovereign and appoint their friends to specific roles. I would oversee the general development and expansion of the kingdom, as well as decide and manage a system of ore-based currency (or would at least create the mint and appoint someone to running it). Afterward I would introduce and gradually roll out phases of a larger storyline for anyone who cares.

      My left and right hand would build/manage the keeps/barracks/military structures, or the government buildings/libraries/cultural centers, etc. These would all be injected with their own lore and staffed by the person in charge of them. Everyone else would receive more minor roles, but typically be given monopolies in certain types of goods or commerce. Maybe Bob wants to be a trapper. Sure, anyone else can legally go and gather leathers and animal parts, but Bob is the only one permitted to sell those items in his shop in the city. Things like that just to try to keep it interesting. When Bob isn’t trapping or trading or being involved with the kingdom, he’s pretty much just playing Minecraft on his homestead.

      The idea is to open it up to the public (via applications and careful vetting) and watch people run amock in the simulated medieval economy. We used to have a blast doing it. Especially with mods installed that added skill progression, abilities at milestones and other MMORPG-esque mechanics.

      Normal people, however… They just do what they do in single player but occasionally trade, work together, tackle bosses, and show each other their latest creations.

    of course before nuking said dragon with an ICBM, have you considered building some form of industrial automated construction?

      That’s somewhere along the way to the ICBMs
