Day 67 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots
(lemmy.world)
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.
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.
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.
It has definitely gotten better, but it's still several minutes, compared to the minute or less for Fabric.
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
Ha, at least you can get your friend group to play modded MC. When we play it's usually just the two of us, because our friends don't wanna deal with all the mods. Sometimes one of them will end up joining, usually by which point I've got Applied Energistics setup, which I offer them access to, since at least then they could start their own mod setup more easily.
