Upcoming Projects!

  Hello again... This has been a really long time away from my projects and what I do.... There's not much time left for me in the army. So this means that I'll continue to upload and notify you about many great things! A modpack I've been working on.. A couple of small (and big) mods that have a single goal in mind.... To be enjoyable and simple! Can't wait to be back at my work again! Stay safe and have a nice summer!

Upload it!

Next is the easy part... Upload it ! Add your files to a compressed folder and upload it either on curseforge (where many mods and modpacks are widely accessible) or to a launcher! You just have to create an account, then: - Add the files, name for the pack, pictures and modlist would be a good option to add as it helps most people see what mods you have used.

Config Changing

  Since we talked about  changing  recipes to your liking. Many mods when added into Minecraft create a config file containing item and block ids,  or mechanics and other stuff  related to each mod. For the people who don't know: Config files can be found here: In  the  windows bar: Type %appdata%. Open Minecraft's directory. Open the Config folder. There should cfg files for each mod that you have  added. CFG files can be opened with a simple text editor or  Notepad ++. They are very easy to change as many of  the things in a config file have a true or false in the end. Meaning: You add a mod  that adds new  blocks in  the game. You want  to change some ids along with a hardening difficulty the  mod adds. You will open and find the mod's config file (see above), open the mod's config. Find the id's you want to change and the line with the  difficulty. In  the end if it  says true change it to fals...

Changing recipes

  When it comes to modpacks. Throwing a bunch of mods together, doesn't work always.... They are overpowered as items of significant use can be gained very easy... So that's when crafttweaker comes in to play! Crafttweaker is the  successor of the old minetweaker. Crafttweaker combined with modtweaker can tweak other  mod mechanics and recipes to  the point of removal, customization and with game stages lock and unlocking! A complete showcase of  craftertweaker will be uploaded in  my other blog. Since I used to love minetweaker. Crafttweaker  has changed... So I have to get to know it once again! Back to the point... Changing recipes is a balancing  proccess required in many modpacks. As  it reduces players getting  op items early on.... For example: A modpack will be broken if from early on you can craft a  regeneration amulet or something incredible overpowered.... A modpack can have mods that give resources very easy but each on...
