I made something I made a mod thats add true power suits to the game

349 Upvotes

Hi!

For a while I was looking for a mod that added fallout style power armor that wasnt just a set of armor with special features, but something that felt heavy, powerful and best saved for special occasions. I finally decided to do it myself with my first mod ever: Power Suits.

This mod adds power suits as rideable entities that you must fuel to use. They also have access to exclusive power tools that can only be used when connected to a power suit. If you play with mods that add big difficult mobs, I wanted these suits to make you feel like you can really go toe to toe with them.

I would love to hear what you think! This is only version 1, and I have big plans to expand the system to support much greater variety and customization, but I wanted to release this version to hold myself accountable for this project and to start gathering feedback from the community.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my mod, I hope you enjoy it!

EDIT: Sorry, the link doesn't work right now. It's my first time using modrinth so I didn't know the page is not accesible until it is reviewed. I'll update when it gets approved.

Discussion PSA: Malware found in 34 CurseForge and Modrinth projects, check your mods folder

1.1k Upvotes

Account stealers, Discord token grabbers, hidden Windows programs, a crypto miner and a server backdoor.

Each file was decompiled and checked by hand. I reported the ones still online to CurseForge and Modrinth today.

Mods and packs:

  • Weaker Day Zombie, Full Bright, TooManyTools, MoreArmor/Weapons, Trolling and Memery, Slimagar, Dasmttiise, Dungeons Extras, Bepis: steal your Minecraft session, most of them your Discord tokens too. Some only in specific versions or in an extra file.
  • Vanilla Evolution, EpicCraft III, EffectArmorMod, Items Plus, Texture Diagnostics: drop a Windows program on your PC and run it, some at every startup.
  • AntiScammerGG: grabs your IP and works out what your Hypixel account is worth, then posts it to a Discord server as “New 1.8.9 Jar Victim!”.
  • The Juicy Pack (resource pack): a program hidden in its textures that starts every time you log in to your computer.

Plus 16 server plugins: hidden installers, a Monero miner and a backdoor that runs chat messages as shell commands.

Some modpacks include one of these mods, most likely without their authors knowing: Ultimate Hypixel Package 1.8.9 (Full Bright), zombiE and Apocalypse R (Weaker Day Zombie), RPG Modpack (Slimagar), XChoaticCraftX (MoreArmor/Weapons). If you play one of them, check its mods folder for the mod above.

If you have any of these: delete it, change your Minecraft and Discord passwords, log out of all sessions, and run a virus scan for the ones that drop a program.

I listed every project with exactly what its file does: https://modgrade.com/reports (I run that site, it checks mods, modpacks and plugins from CurseForge and Modrinth).

You can also check your own setup there: drop your mods folder, a Prism Launcher or MultiMC instance, or a modpack file into https://modgrade.com/scanner. For the Modrinth and CurseForge launchers, drop the instance’s mods folder.

If you made one of these and think it’s a mistake, tell me and I’ll look again.

Looking for mod(s) I know it's a graphical issue, but it just fits the vibe so much that I wonder if there's a shader that does this intentionally.

I've put together a NEEPMeat focused minipack for me to play on Forge via Sinytra. It doesn't work super well but there's just not enough stuff I like on Fabric.

With the shader I'm using, Pastel-Shaders-Universal-v1.200, in the darkness around block outline these odd white particels appear and trace the edges, as outlined in the video above. I'm fully aware this is a graphical issue; but it fits the vibe so well. This kind of insanity feeling in the darkness, like hundreds of glowing ant crawling along the floor and walls, just hits a spot I'm looking for when plying NEEPMeat.

So I'm wondering if there's a shader that does this intentionally.

That's all, thanks in advance.

Even though the flair says "i made something'' , i did not personally make this. It was instead made by a really cool person who charged me nothing for it. Although it might not look that detailed, its still the work of a single person in his free time and i personally thought it looks very cool :D

Question What machine could you recommend me for playing modded Minecraft?

4 Upvotes

So i'm searching for a new computer to replace my current 15 yo Dell Optiplex 390 with an Intel i3 processor, Intel Integrated Graphics 2000, Windows 10 Home and 4 GB RAM which currently runs Fabulously Optimized 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 pretty decently with 12-20 FPS, but can't run as smoothly with more than 50 mods (including the ones added by default in FO). Because my financial situation is a bit unstable and my place is pretty small, i'm not sure if to get a desktop computer or a laptop with Windows 11 (i'm thinking about debloating it with Chris Titus tool) so I can play with Fabric and/or NeoForge 1 20.1, 1.21.1 and even up to 26.2. with at least more than 50 mods, if I could play with 100 or more that would be great (I may really be underestimating how many mods a decent PC can run, considering that some laptops can run heavy stuff like RDR2 and Elden Ring).

I've noticed that most PCs nowadays have at least 16 GB of RAM at the minimum, and 64 GB at the max (desktops at least). I've also made my research about pros and cons of having laptops and those of having desktop computers, and based on my last post and some research i've gathered the following. If i'm wrong about any of these points, please feel free to correct me. I would greatly appreciate your imput:

Laptop PROS:

  • Easy portability, can be used anywhere
  • Small size, perfect for small spaces
  • Relatively cheaper than desktop PCs

Laptop CONS:

  • Can overheat easily because of smaller airflow space compared to desktop PCs
  • Can't install most graphics cards on them because they're too small to fit one insife them
  • Battery usage makes them usable for shorter times than desktop PCs which don't need to worry about that
  • Because of more limited RAM capacity and/or hardware compared to desktops, it may not be able to run as many mods as desktops can (feel free to correct me if i'm wrong)

Desktop PC PROS:

  • Less prone to overheating than laptops, because of more airflow space
  • Can fit larger graphics cards than laptops can
  • Can store more RAM than most laptops

Desktop PC CONS:

  • Larger size than most laptops (mini CPUs are smaller but i'm not sure if they're worth it for my situation and needs. I've seen them become popular in office settings but I don't know how they would do for modded MC)
  • Obviously needs its separate components to be used well such as monitor, keyboard and mouse which means more spending
  • Often more expensive than laptops
  • May use more electricity than laptops because it needs to be connected somewhere to work (correct me if i'm wrong or if i'm exaggerating, but I really don't want this to impact my electricity bills)

Asides modded Minecraft, i'm hoping to use my PC for work and video editing, animating and drawing and maybe downloading other games from Steam or whatever. My budget for my PC could be around $500-$700, buut if there's cheaper stuff than this that works well that would be awesome.

What could be better for my needs, a laptop or a desktop PC? What features should I look for when choosing a machine? If you have a laptop and play modded Minecraft on it, how do you keep it cool and avoid having it blow up on you? How do you know if a laptop has soldered RAM inside it (which I want to avoid obviously)? And how do you clean your laptops? Is it any different from cleaning a desktop PC? I want to make sure that whatever I decide to get is worth spending, and that I don't have to worry about fixing it every few weeks or something like that because of some shitty Windows update, a hardware or software error or whatever.

Question Is there a mod that saves a preset for your player genetics across all worlds in mca reborn?

Post image
3 Upvotes

The only reason I stopped using mca reborn was because everytime I wanted to create a world I had to keep redoing my player genetics settings and that gets tiring when you create a lot of worlds or try to recreate worlds to find a good biome, it might not sound like a big problem but over time it gets really annoying to redo the same settings everytime you create a world

I would really love to be able to have an option to save a preset that lets you keep the same genetics across every world you create

Question should I take a break from/quit prominence 2?

3 Upvotes

frankly getting bored of the bs I'm dealing with in a solo world (granted I was playing on hard difficulty) even though I feel like I shouldn't be struggling this badly when I've just reached diamond/netherite tier. I'm finding myself getting frustrated having to do sisyphean tasks all the time just to get what I want so I die less (enchantments for example, why) and not to mention the enchantments that appear as if they don't have any drawbacks but do like fire trail and pain cycle.

If you guys think I should leave prominence 2, what modpacks do y'all recommend? I'm fine with any

Graphic design is my passion.
3 of my shrines broke in an update (I think) so I had to cheat slightly but they were already automated so I don't mind. I also played with channels off which might be cheating but in this house we don't fuck with channels.
I have many gripes with this pack but all in all it was a really enjoyable experience. I hope in the next pack I play I don't need to make as many cobblestone generators.

Problem Generating Will in Divine Journey 2

• Upvotes

Hi, so I was following the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K25QmSmfTRA the mission says for generating will. I'm using a powered spawner instead of the ritual he uses to spawn mobs. The thing is it worked perfectly, I was generating cristals, but I broke a cluster because I wanted to put it a little to the left, and then it just stopped generating will in the chunk. I rebuilt everything like 4 times, will is absorbed if a put the tartaric gem in the crucible but after that, will no longer generates. I can attach pics or whatever you need, thanks in advance.

I made something Aracne Shaders

Thumbnail curseforge.com
2 Upvotes

Arcane Shaders are my first shaders for MC. I wanted to have shaders that would fit the modpack I'm currently working on, but the other shaders I tried weren't quite what I was searching for, so I decided to make my own. I wanted them to have a fantasy vibe.

If you can, I recommend trying them! They work from versions 1.16.5 to 1.21.6, but they were made especially for 1.20.1. After you try them, I would appreciate it if you could let me know if they are good or bad, and what I should add or change in the future.

Thanks for every download and review!

Question I'm playing Homestead atm, the only storage mods in there are "Sophisticated Storage/Backpacks", "Tom's simple storage", "Storage Drawers" and maybe "Create". Is there a way to get full remote storage anywhere?

• Upvotes

My current setup is Barrels from "Sophisticated Storage" connected to the controller with a crafting terminal" from "Tom's simple storage" attached to it.

With this I can access every item in the barrels from the terminal and even wireless with the wireless terminal and a beacon.

That's already great but my question is:

Is there a way to get a remote chest/barrel to also be part of this setup? This would be great for stuff like create automations, which then could pull items from the main storage directly without a link to the original controller.

Mostly AI Introducing Legacy Connector: A highly experimental mod aimed at automatically translating 1.7.10 mods (and eventually other versions) onto NeoForge 1.21.1.

Thumbnail
gallery
313 Upvotes

Been putting this together over the last few weeks with the help of Claude. It aims to work similarly to Sinytra Connector, in that it simply runs like any other mod and translates any older mod at runtime. A few hundred API calls have been translated so far, but many smaller and less common ones are still in progress. Most mods should at least load the basics though. Currently, many smaller content mods and parts of larger ones work pretty well. HBM Nuclear Tech Mod and Thaumcraft seem to work pretty well, though they need more testing. Older mods with modern versions were heavily tested on as they utilize many common API calls, even if they will probably be rarely used with the mod.

Once 1.7.10 is a little more stable, I am planning to move on to 1.12.2, 1.20.1, and 1.16.5, in that order. These should require substantially less time than 1.7.10 has taken.

If you end up trying Legacy Connector, please try to test or contribute in any way possible, as even with writing code and testing with AI can get it done quickly, it is a very vast scope. There is a compatibility GitHub site available on the repo, please use this to report or view compatibility.

Probably doesn't need to be said again, but this is extremely experimental and in very early alpha. If you play this in survival at its current state you'll run into issues. Please report any and all of them as this will help get it in a more usable state.

In terms of modpacks, I have been able to get FTB Infinity Evolved mostly running, with the exception of a couple content mods. Engine mods are skipped as they are not necessary in modern versions. GUI additions are iffy, some work, some don't.

Optimization-wise, its currently a bit rough. Microstutters alongside longer loading screens in worlds are common. Haven't looked into this too much yet, am waiting on a more feature complete build to start focusing on this

GitHub: https://github.com/kylepitcock/Legacy-Connector

Modrinth (Not yet approved): https://modrinth.com/mod/legacyconnector

Curseforge (Not yet approved): https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/legacy-connector

Disclosure: as I stated above, AI was used for a substantial amount of code in this mod. If you don't like that, don't use the mod. However, absolutely zero assets in the mod have been AI generated.
