As mentioned elsewhere, just started Fallout 4, after being put in the mood by then series.
I wish I had more to talk about, but this month I’ve just played so much MineTest.
I have this feeling that I’ve almost got my server plugins where I want them, but it also feels like there may always be one more plugin to discover.
When you say you are playing Minetest are you playing MineClone or did you start from scratch with the mods you chose.
I tried MineClone first, and it was fun. After researching mods, I went deep down the rabbit trail, and switched to MineGame/default, since it seems like there’s more mod combinations.
Now I have a setup that’s roughly MineClone, but with some quality of life changes.
Most notably, once I tried the ‘always have a crafting table’ default in MineGame, I missed it anytime I tried to go back to MineClone (which requires a crafting table to unlock 3x3 crafting, just like Minecraft).
I would love to see your mod list! If you have done a bit of work to find and test a collection of mods that you like, people might be interested to try it as an alternative starting point.
What plug-ins have you installed? Do any of them make you feel like you’re having an experience that you couldn’t replicate in minecraft?
What plug-ins have you installed?
I have about 30 plugins installed.
I started by adding everything by TenPlus1, on the assumption that anyone working that hard, to make that many mods, was probably making good mods. (This turned out to be a good assumption.)
Beyond that I have added most of the ‘More X’ and ‘X Redo’ plugins.
I’m experimenting with the various ‘Wilhems XYZ’ plugins now, and liking what I’ve seen so far.
I’ve been adding cautiously, because I had a lot of issues when running much fewer mods on Minecraft Java Edition. But MineTest just cranks along happily with roughly 30 mods, for me, right now.
Posting a full list is on my to-do list, after the list is stable.
Do any of them make you feel like you’re having an experience that you couldn’t replicate in minecraft?
Oh yes.
Mods like ‘More Trees’ and ‘Farming Redo’ provide a much deeper farming experience.
‘Pipeworks’ adds the inventory sorting engine that I always wanted in Minecraft, but with much simpler recipes.
‘Realistic HangGlider’ replicates Elitra and Rockets, but it’s just craftable - no extra-dimensional scarcity. Which happens to fit my play style.
And most notably, the default 3x3 in-inventory crafting is such a nice quality of life feature. I’m not constantly running back to, or making another, crafting box.
I got a used copy of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for switch, I know I’m very late to the party on this one but I am enjoying it a lot.
It is the first game however where I’ve had my switch fully crash, I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised since it is a Bethesda title.
I’ve been spending a bunch of the time reading the random lore books in the game, the world building is definitely the main draw for me over the gameplay. Gameplay isn’t my favourite but I am enjoying it still, I feel some more contemporary RPGs have definitely spoiled me in some ways.
Finally went back to Outer Wilds for the DLC. So far I’ve enjoyed it, but my heart does beat harder than it did for the entire main game lol
I’m tend to jump between multiple games, depending on how I feel at the time.
Right now the main titles are: Cities Skylines, DMC5 and Pokemon Crystal. Secondary ones: Tetris DX and Puzzle Quest.
Finally there’s Reverse Collapse but that’s a new title so doesn’t really fit this community.
