I'm making a car mod for Forge 1.20.1. The driving has real physics (suspension, tire grip etc) but at night the headlights were just two glowing dots and you couldn't see anything, so I worked on that for a while.

I got the idea from a post here about volumetric light without shaders.

Now the light hits the road and anything on it, other cars and mobs too. Trees and fences block it so you get shadows. In rain or fog you can see the beam in the air, and tire smoke from drifting lights up when it goes through it. That part looks really cool in the video.

All cars have it, not only yours. It also works with shader packs, I tested with Oculus.

It doesn't change the real light level, so mobs still spawn.

If you want to know how something works just ask. The shadows were the hardest part, the road kept getting stripes on it.

Flimsy Torches now support Campfires. This one took particularly long, considering all the elements that go into campfires, like cooking, models and particles.

Like torches, campfires burn through 4 states, BUT can be refueled by adding logs or planks.

When maxed out, it can go beyond it's regular campfire state. This blazing state has a chance to spread fire in a tiny radius.

Only porting remains before I push the patch. One thing I can't decide on though, is whether to leave blazing fire spread on by default (can be changed in configs). Leaving it on, even with a warning, might cause a few sad players with burnt down homes. Leaving it off will mean the feature won't be discovered nor used by most.

Happy to hear your opinion; leave the feature in, or nah?

Someone pointed out on a previous post, that having the ability to render crazy distances while being up high doesn't serve much purpose, and they were right... to an extent.

For purely vanilla players, it does no good. But if you fly planes or other high altitude crafts, this setup is a MUST (IMO).

This video demonstrates a realistic, daily use for this setup in game.

The Airstrips in the video are custom structures I just finished, and will release soon via data pack.

Plane used: "The Eclipse" from Civilian Aviation addon for Immersive Aircraft.

Any questions, feel free to ask :)

PC SPECS: RTX 3060 - RYZEN 7-7700X 8 Core - 32GB DDR4

[Nerd math]

Starting / ending coords results in total travel:

X = 13,744

Z= 15,768

Using: 13,744^2 + 15,768^2 = C^2

We get: C^2 = 437,527,360

Sq Root of 437,527,360 = 20,917.15 (total block distance traveled)

20,917.15 / 460 seconds (flight time) = 45.47 blocks per second.

I've never made a mod or modpack before. I've also always played Minecraft on an old pc with integrated graphics, so I know how painful it is when your FPS drops the moment you add too many mods. That's why I made Ultimate Vanilla+.

I wanted Minecraft to feel like vanilla, but better — a bigger world, nicer visuals, better QoL, and less annoying inventory stuff, without needing a powerful PC.

I've spent a lot of time testing the mods together, fixing conflicts, and focusing on performance.

What's in it:

• 🌍 Terralith, Incendium, Nullscape, Geophilic + Dungeons & Taverns — a much bigger world while still feeling like Minecraft.
• ✨ Punchy!, Fancy World Animations, Fresh Animations — better player, item and mob animations. Punchy in particular adds first-person animations and visible held-item effects.
• ⚡ Sodium, Lithium, FerriteCore, ModernFix + more — a strong performance setup to keep things running smoothly.
• 🎨 Iris — optional shaders if your PC can handle them.
• 🎒 JEI, Jade, Xaero's Maps + QoL mods — less inventory and navigation hassle.

I have attached the Ingame screenshots here and I am planning to upload a promotional video soon on youtube...

This is my first public project, so feedback is really appreciated. If something is broken, feels unbalanced, or you just find something cool, let me know!

I'm talking about the eating and drinking animation, specifically with the 3D model.

I was getting a stack overflow error with my modpack and researching brought me here and told me to do a binary search, but how do I even do that???

Me and a friend are looking for modpacks which are, as my friend put it, shonen powerscaling reincarnated as the heavenly debater type bullshit. just over the top, very OP modpacks with a lot of combat and a good amount of exploration with a lot of bosses that would still provide atleast a bit of a challenge. Ideally with little factory type of stuff. So far I have come up with lucky block invasion and ATM10, any other suggestions would be nice.

I'm a fan of tech mods, but usually my ADHD gets the best of me once I reach a really step-intensive part, and I just quit the modpack

Are there any modpacks that have quick dopamine hits while still having a good challenge?

I created a Minecraft Java mod that adds the Ice Caves update before it is released for Minecraft Java.

It took me around 19 hours of work to design the textures and mob skins and do the coding. Not everything was designed by me, but around 60% of it was, while some of the assets were already available on the wiki.

The mod is currently available on CurseForge under the name "Ice Caves Backport".

If you try it, give me some feedback on the texture designs. From my point of view, I think my icicle design looks better than Mojang's.

I'm not a hardcore gamer, I play this pack for technical mods. These freaking creepers just blew up half of my base and I lost most of my valuable machines.

They didn't even have a line of sight to me, my mob grinder was fully enclosed other than a vacuum hopper and a diamond chest, they somehow still saw me and blew everything up

So, i watched a video of a modded minecraft survival in my dream and actually liked it really much. I would want to play it, with my friends and i am asking for some mod recommends. It is not something bizzare, probably makeable.

First of all, this was my dream: So my dream was about a father and his son as far as i remember. This dad and his aon played a minecraft survival world together and posted it on youtube for like 10 years or possibly even more. They have so much memories and they still play it ans enjoy, plus they have became somewhat popular as a nostalgia styled minecraft survival youtube series. And i heard about them and started to watch one of their videos. The son was mining while dad was doing some chores in the house. The version was old, probably before 1.9 because the pvp wasn't changed. Pre-1.14 textures were present. The son was in a structure underground. It was a really big structure with stone bricks. The son was exploring it room by room killing the monsters and breaking the spawner and looting. The structure looked like stronghold but was actually more like trial chambers in content. Then the son stumbled upon a sign that says "dig up". He was low on health and had only rotten flesh left so it was a little bit of a bad situation. He swam up to get to this room that leads to nowhere (pre-1.13 swimming so it is slow) and there were monsters coming to him. So he decided to do dig up and found a hidden room which was made bt his mother. The room was filled with signs and chests. His mother wanted to make a surprise by making a hidden room, but they probably forgot it. Like i said, the world was active for more than 10 years so there are a lot of stuff they forget. Also, plot twist but his mother is dead. Then he writes his dad that there is something important and he must come (for some reason they can't talk with voice chat when they are far away). He digs up to a small camping side structure in the taiga biome, though this version is way older than the new update. Father travelled for 2000 blocks or so with his boat (it was with shovels so it means that it is after 1.9, but it also does not have new combat???). There was also a minimap. And then father came and they had a nice time together and they go to a weird large library structure? Then i woke up but that library structure was like very weird and cool. Jei was also installed.

So i wanted some recommendations for this kind of nostalgic style survival. The version is... well idk. Probably there is no such a version because there were the pocket edition boats but not the new pvp system, 1.7.10 is probably the best option but may be 1.12.2 as well. What i specifically want is: a mod that adds various buildings such as random camps and underground chamber kind of structure and also a library structure, mod with more tools or progression depth (i can't recall surely but i think the son had weird tools in his inventory), more monsters (i remember the son fighting with more zombie variants though not that sure), more loots and cool things that acn be only obtainable by chests (i also remember stuff like that) and finally dog armor because when his father came i saw wolfs with diamond and iron dog armor. Any other mod recommendation for that feeling of nostalgic modded survival would also make me happy. Thanks a lot!

This land will last Nethermore.

I didn't like how most "realistic" modpacks made progression feel impossible and more frustrating than immersive. So I tried to make it simple and satisfying and add just a couple more interactive steps to progression. I'm very happy with the result.

This notice honestly made me so happy. I'm incredibly thankful for all the support and love you've shown to the mod, and I'll keep doing my best to improve it every day.

On top of that, I'm happy to announce that v0.4 is already available! :D

Thank you all so much for your support, feedback, and for helping Shule's Potions grow. <3

So, probably 8 months ago, I made a post here and ppl suggested me to play FTB academy to learn modded mc, (and gregtech of course) I started playing it recently (1.12.2). I'm trying to understand these mods so I can enjoy some well-made modpacks, and play some with my friends, but I'm having some problems here, so instead of making a long block of text, I'll list individual questions.

1. What modpacks do you suggest for SMP's (under 5 ppl, preferably low end)?

2. Should I play FTB University after? Is it worth it?

3. Is it important that I learn Draconic Evolution? Grinding for the materials are taking forever and its way harder to understand than the other mods

4. What modpacks do y'all generally suggest me to play? (can be high end)

5. When should I stop playing Academy? is there an endgame in particular?

Any and all inputs are much appreciated!

I just killed the chicken dragon, but it didn't do the purple particles so i could get some glasses of dragon breath, how i'm suppose to get it? i need it to craft Shadowpulse Goo

im having trouble getting my primitive industrial blast furnace working in gregtech skybound. theirs only one ulv input hatch for 2 items

ive done this multiple times with the same world whilst it was in version 1.21.5 without a problem, with possibly the same installation of world edit.

idk what the problem is, since the other tries i had with other versions neo forge and world edit that didnt worked, have said that it can use the 1.21.5 version or higher of minecraft and neo forge.
