me: finishes scouring curseforge for 1.16.5 mods which will improve my life and probably run decently well on a server without disturbing the vanilla feel, and moves on to other Tasks

WORLDEDIT HOUSE. WORLDEDIT HOUSE.

[riverbanksquid]

--MODS (ver. 1.16.4 ~ 5 only)--

EASY; OBVIOUS

better third person (TEST THIS 🚨)

wool to string wool tweaks is better ✅

tameable rabbits ✅

more flower bushes ✅ + custom mod for more small flowers 🔲

string lights ✅ (In-game book with recipes/tutorial?⚠️)

botany pots ✅ (learn recipes ⚠️)

invisible armor (actually 1 utility armor slot and 1 visible armor slot but same thing) ✅

NEW

added camels ✅

added chimneys ✅

bell noise when fish on fishing line ✅

can sleep slightly earlier (before stars show up) ✅

better caves, better mineshafts, and stronghold saver ✅

DID NOT add better portals because no they aren't ❌

supplementaries ✅ (hanging signs, notice boards, item shelves, fireflies, etc.; life is good)

added endermail (endermen will deliver packages for you) (do test this one 🚨 it's hard to do in creative)

added flower doubler ✅

added "kelp acts like bonemeal" ✅ (note: only one of either kelp or bonemeal will grow a vine and I forget which 🚨)

added "eggs hatch when they despawn (but only on hay bales and also only when there are fewer than X chickens around already)" ✅

added sleeping bags (skip night without setting spawn point) and hammocks (skip day) ✅

added ability to use banner pattern on bed ✅ (test this 🚨)

added tea ✅ (are the teapots and stuff placeable though..?? 🚨)

BIG DEAL; CONSIDERING

create ✅ (disabled ugly ores and custom stone types in worldgen; they aren't needed to make water wheels which are ALLLLL I care about 📝)

quark (some. mob variants, maybe vertical slabs, oddities for item pipes, etc) ✅

mcmmo 🔲 (pros: taming. cons: I don't actually even like mmos)

inventory tweaks quark has everything we need actually ✅

tree felling ✅ (serilum ver.) (it's so good) (NO AUTO-REPLANTING)

lava lamps ❌❓

ON THE LOOKOUT

one person sleeping makes night be over (check which version this became a thing in) QUARK HAS ✅ BUT TEST IT THOUGH 🚨

always show coordinates and ONLY coordinates (no F3 PLEASE) (Resource pack I got for this seems not to be working. Alt: serilum's gui compass. 🚨) 🔲

immortal neutral mobs (incl. bees) Does not appear possible with any currently existing mod. However, friendly fire prevents damage to pets and I have added passive endermen to prevent aggroing our very tall friends, which should mitigate this as much as possible. ✅ WATCH OUT for cats and rabbits though, that is very much still a massacre waiting to happen. CROSS-TEST WITH RABBIT TAMING 🚨

mooblooms & moolips ✅ CHARM HAS REALLY GOOD ONES

dog variants ✅ betterdogs. Con: to get specific dog type, name of type of dog must be in nametag name, which is mildly weird. Pro: fuck it !

legible signs. (editable signs also?) ✅ vanilla tweaks and quark, respectively.

feathers + leather without killing mobs ✅ charm "chickens drop feathers passively" rule, plus combination of "rotten flesh to leather" & all-paper books.

renewable saddles + name tags ✅ saddle recipe + nametagtweaks. (note: I think I actually have more than one thing installed that adds a nametag recipe but whatever. do test both of these though 🚨 also horse armor?)

more stars/more interesting night sky 🔲 (I hate texture packs. maybe I have to fucking make one)

candy colored texture packs and shaders 🔲 (I DUNNO, YOU GUYS)

BETTER STAINED GLASS? ?? also glass slabs, stairs, etc. might have to do this myself 🔲 (absent by design may add the shapes, as would glasscutter if it were ever updated to 1.16. try absent again now that optimization mods are working? the stained glass though, I do actually have to fucking do myself; nobody understands my aesthetic tastes apparently. CROSS-TEST ABSENT W/ QUARK'S FRAMED GLASS BLOCKS? 🚨)

GOING CONCERNS

proximity chat (found a voice chat mod that might work. to test. 🚨)

teach everyone how to screenshot

NEW PROBLEMS

"In Control!" does make mobs noticeably less lively if you're not within a couple dozen blocks of them. BUT the performance increase is VITAL... play with settings.

Charm (I think?) villager adjustments COMPLETELY fuck up the village near spawn. (Solution: maybe just turn them off... they're not that good. Also, may be able to get away with JUST turning off lumberjack and leaving beekeeper on. Test savanna and extreme hills villages with these rules.)

Better Caves fucks up the cool tunnel I wanted to make next to the ice spikes but I might just worldedit it into submission lol

Quark mob variants are OKAY. I do actually need to test 🚨 whether quark and charm can both have them enabled at the same time and have that like. work. Because charm's are slightly cuter in general but I like quark's purple cow hsjdjfjf

Chimney mod is cool but oh my god I have to 🔲 turn the amount of smoke particles it generates down

QUARK CANDLES ARE MADE FROM TALLOW AND NOT BEESWAX FOR SOME REASON... but charm's only come in one color. also neither of them cluster like the ones from 1.17!!! I HAVE COMPLAINTS 🔲 (solution: different mod OR custom mod OR crafttweaker)

also quark's blossom trees are a cute idea but they're ugly. fix? 🔲 AND fix the decorated paper wall and lantern.

related: macaw's doors has sliding paper doors. pros: MANY MORE DOORS, TRAPDOORS, WINDOWS. cons: choice paralysis? cluttered recipe book?

🔲 STILL DO HAVE TO PUT MORE FLOWERS.. IN IT..THE GAME.

wooden axe is the wand tool for worldedit and so does not work as an axe. I'm pretty sure there's a way around this but I think it's funnier to just ban the use of wooden axes specifically. unhinged server laws. also yes I want everyone to have access to worldedit. yes I will murder and kill them if they use it to be rude. we live in a society

the nether is still ugly. there's not really anything I can do about that though

🔲 Limiting factor on arrows is now flint, which is annoying to get, so maybe do something about that too.

🔲 also I totally have not found a good lead recipe so that too

🚨🔲🚨 and finally: this post is now way too long so I have to work on making a coherent file that lists included features, and another that lists stuff I'm still looking to add remove or change. NOT EVEN I WANT TO READ ALL THIS !!!

[riverbanksquid]

ok the cabin is done and looks fucking spectacular so now it's time to learn how schematics work. copy and paste this bitch

[riverbanksquid]

also I have to find some more personal anecdotes about people running their own servers for their friends vs. paying for one because once again. the easily accessible guides are so unhelpful. if I buy a raspberry pi and connect it to my router will it get good enough internet to make minecraft happen for 4-6 people??? WILL I BE SAFE FROM CYBER CRIMES??

[riverbanksquid]

JUST REALIZED THAT IF I'M USING WOOL FOR THIS BUILD THAT MEANS I CAN ALSO USE CARPET. YET ANOTHER BLOCK I AM CONSIDERING SERIOUSLY FOR THE FIRST TIME. WHAT CAN SHE DO

[riverbanksquid]

what do I even do. I think it would be okay to remove wildlife and disable or HEAVILY nerf spawning for most of the mythic mounts... I've been trying to figure out whether the "I can't find this texture :(" thing was a problem iris was causing, because CLEARLY the texture EXISTS because the mobs render just fine; something's just weird in the pipeline somewhere; & that turned out not to have been the case, so maybe I have to check like. sodium indium and entity culling... also I've been getting that "tried to access a block entity before it was created" thing again; I forget who was doing that last time but I know I solved it. so I'll have to see about that, too.

[riverbanksquid]

naturalist and megaparrots do not have this problem. incidentally.

[riverbanksquid]

I'd sacrifice wildlife to get rid of these lag spikes but mythic mounts has GOT to stay but I am SO mad about the lag spikes. so mad. I have a strong computer now this is Literally not my fault and yet it has been made my problem

[riverbanksquid]

mysteriously running into outofmemoryerrors while developing 1.18.2 modpack... I'm inclined to blame wildlife since it seems to be confusing the fuck out of the renderer and that's the only other error I've been seeing in the console but what if it's something stupid again!!

[riverbanksquid]

CUSTOM BACKGROUND COLOR IS SO GOOD I cannot believe how much it adds to the Minecraft experience to be able to turn your menu bg bright blue

[riverbanksquid]

ok I defeated betterend actually. it has not exploded the server. Have not loaded the end in at all yet though so we'll see how THAT goes at some point

[riverbanksquid]

why is betterend the way that it is

[riverbanksquid]

gdi I keep forgetting about ENCHANTMENT REROLLS..... surely inventory essentials will let me move the "sort" button, right. surely I can disable the one from charm, move the one from inventory essentials, and not have to sit there and inspect reroll's 1.18 code so I can backport the part that lets you move the button to 1.17 myself. pls.........

[riverbanksquid]

resource packs will be the really fun part but also they will force me to try to learn custom models again which: AAAAHHH
