efaardvark Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 (edited) I haven't played a hardcore world in minecraft 1.21.8 so this weekend I decided to try one with the lithosphere, still life, and Distant Horizons mods. I really like what lithosphere does with the terrain. Forests are a lot more varied and interesting for one thing. Rivers are a lot better as well in that they actually follow the terrain and make using boats for exploration a lot more practical and rewarding. (At least they tend to lead to interesting places without all the random chaos that rivers tend to come with in vanilla.) Having a render distance of 512 chunks with DH also makes for some awesome vistas of the terrain. Once it gets generated.. the down side is 512 chunks takes several hours to generate on my ancient 8/16 core Ryzen 2700 CPU. Impressive that it is still playable even using "aggressive" CPU usage in DH settings however. OTOH, I haven't yet added shaders to the mix either. Sodium, Iris, and Lithium are also there for performance but I wanted to save the CPU cycles that shaders would require for terrain generation at this point. Spoiler Unfortunately I started in pretty flat terrain. In fact, spawn was actually a completely flat frozen wasteland with nothing but dirt, gravel, and ice dotted with polar bears. You can barely see it on the horizon there at the left in this next pic. Not my favorite hardcrore start I must say. It took a bit of travel to even find my first tree, which actually was the mast of a shipwreck embedded in the frozen permafrost. I even had to make my 1st bed out of spiderwebs! Once the more distant terrain became visible I saw an icy sea in the distance and when I finally got to the coast I built a chest boat. On the other side of the sea I found the shore was much more hospitable: a grassy incline to a distant forest. Not dead yet, though with the much denser forests I quickly found that skeletons and zombies are a threat even in the daytime under the trees. I stayed in the boat and followed the coastline and the first river that I came to took me into the forest and eventually led to a small town. Fortunately the river was wide enough that daytime hostile mobs were a non-issue as long as I didn't venture inland. The town already had a fletcher and a toolsmith as well as a couple farmers. It looked like a good place to camp for a while. It is actually on a small island in a bend in the river too so spamming torches was pretty much all it took to make it into a relatively safe base. (Using the Prism java launcher on linux.) Edited September 1 by efaardvark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efaardvark Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Explored a bit more in MC and found this town next to a river in a savanna-ish area. Not sure if it's Lithosphere or Still Life that's responsible but I do like the scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efaardvark Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 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.

efaardvark Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 (edited) I found the edges of the desert. Or at least a few more plants and not so much sand. Still hot! Spoiler The mountains in the distance were about 2 days ride away. Spoiler On the other side I found a proper forest for the first time in this game! Spoiler .. and eventually, an ocean! And civilization! Spoiler Edited September 28 by efaardvark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forlorn Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition In this game, I've gotten to the point where Karol talks about a panacea bottle to cleanse the monster blood that's soaked into the ground of the natural tree barrier in Halure. I just finished surviving the Eggbear fight and it's nightfall in Halure. So, it's just before the cutscene of Estelle healing the tree after they use the panacea bottle on the monster's blood soaked soil in front of it.

efaardvark Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 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.) Spoiler Also saw a nice auroral display just after moonrise. Spoiler 39 minutes ago, DJJAW04 said: Played Final Fantasy 1-6 Pixel Remaster. Cool. I played the GBA and 3DS handheld versions back in the day. Is the bundle worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
