Discovered ice cream in my modded minecraft. You would not think that ice cream would be part of a mod called "Tough as Nails". Oddly enough you do not make it with milk. The recipe instead requires 3 snowballs. I'm thinking it is more like shaved ice. (You can also buy it from the Climatologist villager.) Also saw a nice auroral display just after moonrise. Cool. I played the GBA and 3DS handheld versions back in the day. Is the bundle worth it?

Andromeda - Survival of the Richest

Well, I haven't been able to get both dynamic trees and Conquest Reforged running in the same game yet. Gonna keep trying. I have managed to get most everything else running however. Below is a pic from my current test world. I like the tree generation, courtesy of Still Life: This world is running: BetterF3 Cloth Config v19 API Collective Distant Horizons GlitchCore Iris Lithium Lithosphere Serene Seasons Sodium Still Life Tough As Nails Tree Harvester Also the "complementary unbound" shader and the "faithful x32" resource pack.

I have a neighbor who went and got one of those 12' skeletons from Home Depot and already has it set up in his yard. He's got an ~8' hedge running along the sidewalk in front of his house. He has the skeleton set up so that it's leaning over the hedge and looking down at the sidewalk with it's hand reaching through the hedge at about shoulder height. Gonna scare the bejesus out of at least a couple trick-or-treaters as they come down the street this year. I've already seen a few passers-by doing a quick double-take as they walk by, even during the day. Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go watch Zom 100.

I found the edges of the desert. Or at least a few more plants and not so much sand. Still hot! The mountains in the distance were about 2 days ride away. On the other side I found a proper forest for the first time in this game! .. and eventually, an ocean! And civilization!

Hello and welcome, 8054. Is there significance to "8054"? It is an almost-prime number, being the factor of 2 and 4027, but I assume it has some deeper context attached? I myself am 4450, in minecraft years. Give or take a few.. my birthday was a week or two ago on the 10th.

Today I burned the roof of my mouth on some pizza.

I'm kind of liking it too. I binge at the end of the season so I'm still in the middle of it but from what I've seen so far it's I've got a couple others from this season on my list that I still haven't even started yet so I'm not ready to say it's the best of '25, but it's certainly worth a watch.

Added "Serene Seasons" to my mods...

Thanks! And no apologies necessary..

Oh I've been to the desert on a horse with no name...

I discovered that I could get the "tough as nails" mod running in mc 1.21.8 so I tried a survival game. Hard, but fun. Not as crazy as the RLCraft modpack. TaN just adds thirst, body temperature, and hit/damage location. No new mobs like dragons or sandworms, and no RPG-like game extensions. Thirst works like hunger in vanilla. Temperature means you can get hypothermia in cold biomes and hyperthermia in hot ones. If it gets bad enough then you'll start to take damage. Hit location means you take more damage from head and body hits. There's also things like movement modifiers.. if you jump/fall from too high then you can break your leg(s) and can't move as fast for instance. I spawned in the middle of a desert surrounded by savanna-ish plains. No water, and I immediately started to overheat. Went underground at the first opportunity and waited for night so I could sneak out and break a couple trees. I'm also using the Lithosphere and Still Life mods however so the biomes tend to be bigger and going anywhere near the forest at night is dangerous. At least mobs are easy to see at night in the desert. I grabbed a couple trees and some dirt from the very edge of the forest, then took it back to my hole in the desert. I put down the dirt, planted a couple saplings, and managed to get a good start on an underground base. (In spite of a couple zombies and a spider or two.) I found that digging down lets you get away from the heat. In fact if I dig down too deep it starts getting too cold. Guess it'll be a while before I can dig down and get any diamonds. (Standing near a running furnace does heat you up though so that might be a way to do a little deep digging if I can get enough trees and coal for torches and to keep the furnace(s) running.) Water is an issue but so far I've been able to drink rainwater. There's a tiny bit of water on the ground nearby too. Drinking directly from pools can get you sick with this mod but swimming in it does let you cool off. I found a bit of iron while digging.. not enough to make iron gear but enough to make a bucket so I took some water back and built a small underground farm, then covered it with glass. I also found a good amount of copper, from which I made a canteen. Haven't figured out how to purify water and get it into the canteen yet tho. Still haven't found any sheep for a bed either so phantoms at night are a problem, especially since night is the only time I can really work on the surface without overheating.
