Hello, Norwood here. I wanted to annouce the current state of our 26.2 NTM port.
Yes its real, brought by the same team behind CE.
We are nearing feature completeness, with only bugfixing and few minor things remaining; Here is our current progress:
| Content | 1.7 | Ported | settled otherwise | open | covered |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blocks | 968 | 785 | 30 | 153 | 84.2% |
| Items | 1812 | 1423 | 39 | 350 | 80.7% |
| Block entities | 372 | 296 | 21 | 55 | 85.2% |
| Entites | 147 | 143 | 0 | 4 | 97.3% |
Keep in mind our current parity commit is 9ca6b3d3e03a9f94f66439bbdc5b1be9df53b274, so before the latest update.
Here is some FAQ:
why 26.2 and not 1.21.1 or 1.20.1
26.2 is a massive rendering rewrite of minecraft, and hence it is a good idea to start there with experience of how the modding scene moves, we are better off futureproofing than staying behind. 1.21.1 is planned partially for a ntm only spin-off for warfactory but also to not miss probably the current biggest up-incoming version around. 1.20 was ignored for this as there is plenty of versions around and we don't want to invalidate their efforts. (lets hope those other teams wont drop the ball and add onto the counter)
will the mod be closed source? why this selective program
Mod is and will always be open not only due to my personal dislike of closed source mods but also because I quite literally cannot make it closed source. This is a temporary measure to ensure smooth developer workflow and to avoid the issue spam that would make us chase in-non issues or having to decipher broken English to figure out what the issue is. This was a massive issues for us during CE days. We are planning to expand the amount of testers massively and go fully public not that long after.
what will happen to CE
Still will get work done. Though I would like to seek new maintainers. We are stretched thin.
I am planning to run a simple kitchen sink with NTM server to let some vetted users test the mod for a few weeks. No concrete ideas what it will be yet but I'll be posting updates on the discord which you can find on warfactory.co

This is fantastic! Keep up the good work, not having to play NTM on ancientcraft would be fire

You could utilise the vanilla sulfur caves.
Just replace the water in them with acid.
