Minecraft: 1.7.2 servers

I recently checked the servers I used to play in, found that they've upgraded their servers to 1.7.2.  However, when I tried to play, it was very laggy and had a few disconnection bugs.  I hope they would just revert back to the 1.6.4 servers which were more stable rather than just upgrade it to 1.7.2 and get as much people into the game as possible due to trends.  I mean, you won't lose that much players since most reverts back to the 1.6.4 clients on their launcher because of the mods not able to be updated at the moment.  I guess I'll just wait and enjoy 1.6.4 for a bit til that time comes, the new mod API comes out officially from Mojang.  Til then, cheerio!

Minecraft: Murphy's Law

Hello there once again!  Due to unfortunate series of events, I will be restarting to a new world.  Sadly I have lost my previous world after trying to incorporate several new mods into my game.  Galacticraft, Millenaire, Buildcraft, Flan's Mods, Zan's Minimap, Lumberjack and Minecraft Comes Alive were working perfectly (except for the mecha that wouldn't budge).  Optifine is a given so that's why I never bothered to mention it til now.  But instead of being content with just those mods, I tried implementing other mods such as Growable Ores, HarvestCraft, BiblioCraft, and NotEnoughItems into the fray.  It was good while trying to test which mods can go with other mods but what I didn't really do before anyone does when experimenting was making a backup of the existing world.  Did I?  Nope.

I managed to make 29 mods work together after changing several codes of lines in the configs (which probably a lesson for me since I like programming)

However, when I tried launching my world, it just hanged and then when I reverted back to my original set of mods, I loaded it up and the game crashes over and over.  I tried to salvage what I could but in the end, I just accepted the fact my world and quest for the moon in that world was over.

So I guess if you're trying out mods, be sure to make a backup.  Don't do it like me.

Maybe in the next few days, I'll try that Pixelmon and hopefully it can be played with other mods like Galacticraft.  I don't really dare on playing MineZ, I just don't like them crawling zombies.  Scares the heck out of me.  Even when I play Resident Evil or anything horror themed, I just say, "No, na-uh." and just never play it again.  Although Resident Evil is tolerable to play, I rarely play it.

So with that update, I guess I'll take my rest and hope for a better minecraft experience.  I do have this gut feeling I'll be trying a Hardcore Vanilla Survival mode someday.  Til then, cheerio!

Minecraft Mods 1.7.2

I recently just found out that there were major changes in 1.7.2.  With that in mind, I still wonder when Forge can do wonders so we could start enjoying Minecraft Mods along with the new content and upgrades 1.7.2 has to offer.  I am not in any way demanding them to hurry it up and make us proud players.  No.  I just wanted to enjoy living in a cold taiga biome with lots of flowers and an acacia house with the possibility of going into the moon or having other AI like Minecraft Comes Alive or Millenaire mods available.

So I guess I'll stick to 1.6.4 for the time being, funny how my friend called me a noob that I can't play 1.6.4 anymore because it's already 1.7.2.  I silently chuckle and let his ignorance fool him as I did watch Minecon 2013 livestream on youtube where the Minecraft team was on stage and showing the viewers how to play a certain version using the new launcher.

If Notch and Minecraft team reads this, I would like to personally thank you for making my life less miserable for developing this game and giving me a stress reliever during hard times.  Also special thanks to the mod developers, without you, the game would just be quickly boring.  I'm not saying it's boring boring but it's like lego.  Once you're done with building or experimenting, that's it.  With the mods, it adds a new depth and achievements in the game, prolonging gameplay even replayability.  So kudos to everyone that have made this happen!

I have yet to play with others online.  Wish I could just go to a forum and ask people if I could play with them but as to date, I'm still saving up for my own premium account and using my friend's account and playing offline mode.  Just wish if I won the lottery, I'd donate a few million to Mojang and then buy a couple of games and then start a crew and post youtube videos with us playing.  That would be a dream come true!  *sigh*

Like always, cheerio!
