Today’s game is Minecraft. Specifically Attack of The B-Team. Growing up I had a specific fondness for this mod-pack after seeing a YouTuber I liked play a whole series of it. If I had to pick 3 mods/mod-packs that caught my attention before I owned Minecraft this would probably be at the top, followed by Digimobs, and then Pixelmon (for a while I also had a soft spot for Hexxit too).
I actually set this up as a server for me and my friends. It took a little more work since it’s Minecraft 1.6.4, but I got there. The first issue I ran into is Java 8 wouldn’t work. Then the server wasn’t loading the right world type. I ended up figuring out I was launching the wrong jar file. I was launching Forge, while I needed to be launching BTeam.jar.
After that though I got it all setup. It’s nice to be playing this again. This is my ideal “classic mod-pack” and playing it’s like a rush of nostalgia.
I didn’t play long, as setting up the server ate up most of my free time but once I did get it set up I made a bee line for somewhere and started building a house too live in. Once I get back on, just having somewhere safe to live will be nice.
I don’t play often but I always amused to see all the new additions when I do come back to it.
I don’t know many classic mod packs, but I’m almost afraid to touch any classic Minecraft mods because I worry reality will ruin my nostalgia for them. When I was a kid, I used to watch people playing with mods that I never could because my computer was a potato and I had to play MC on the Xbox 360. I was sooooo envious, but I still got some good memories of watching others play. I think Fossils and Archaeology is probably the biggest one for me.
Exactly the camp I was in lol. I didn’t have a computer and only got Xbox 360 edition like 2014 so mods weren’t exactly an option
I wanted it so bad that I eventually learned how to “mod” the xbox 360. I don’t remember at all what I did, but I could import worlds from the internet into the game using a flash drive. It wasn’t as cool as having mods, but it did allow me to play some adventure maps and giant redstone contraptions (some even worked!), which were another thing I was super envious of.
I remember being little and scowering the web trying to figure out how to mod my Xbox. I remember seeing a tutorial that touted itself as a “mod guide” and the dude just wrapped his TV in plastic wrap and dousing it with chocolate syrup because it looked kind of like a cave. I was so disappointed
Epic! I just set up a Vintage Story server yesterday myself. Same story, setting up the server took a while and we didn’t get to play that much. It’s up now though, and setting up a different game on that dedicated server should be take a lot less time, Administering Fedora Server through Cockpit has been very chill so far.
Look, it’s so tiny! It’s a HP ProDesk 600 G2 Mini (i5-6500t, 16GB en 480GB SSD). I let it pregen 1000 chunks outward this night so exploring wouldn’t tax the CPU as much, because I thought that would be a weak spot :).
I love VS!! My go to block game!
Noice! Any tips for a total beginner like me/us? Just fired my first big clay pot, the 12 storage one, to give you an idea of my
professionprogression.If I’d start over I’d give myself these 3 tips:
Use the map actively to note down everything, big trees, different stones, warm/cold/rain areas, prospecting later on too, is very helpful. A fully fledged out map saves a lot of time later.
First order of business as in any survival game is food then shelter. Berry bushes can also be picked up.
If you find copper bits on the surface, dig down :)
I’m replying to let you know I’ve seen this, but I can’t type the response I want to right this instant. It’s going to be like 6-8 hours before I probably have the chance, but I’ll totally share some guidance!!
Small PCs are crazy. There’s something so cool and novel about the size being so small they can almost fit in your palm.
Nice! I’ve been playing ATM 10 with Cobblemon (pixelmon but way better)
I enjoyed Cobblemon, but I kept going back too Pixelmon because it bothered me the way some of the models were adapted lol. I know it’s a minor cosmetic change but something about some of them rubbed me the wrong way. Still have a lot of respect for the mod though
