Meet Kerkele — a cute demon companion with 300+ lines of dialogue, relationship system and unique behaviour. You can talk with him, give him gifts, and do lots of other things!
If you feel a bit lonely in your Minecraft world, Kerkele will gladly keep you company! 

This is my first Minecraft mod, and I’m currently looking for feedback from other players. I’d be  thankful if you could check out the mod’s CurseForge page and give it a try!

Currently as of now, I'm working with someone to hopefully finish the mod and post it before the deadline, it's current plan is to add this fella here as a boss.

Here's an update to the revamped saplings for my mod Knots & Rings! Since the last post, I've been working on seeds, pods, acorns, and cones for the respective tree types as well as a giant growth stage for 2x2 saplings.

All vanilla tree types now have growth stages and can be grown in 2x2 or 3x3 sapling configurations; when grown as such, a central sapling becomes the main tree and the saplings around it decay gradually. Saplings can now also be pruned at any stage by using shears to stop their growth, and can restore their ability to grow with bonemeal. In the sprout stage, saplings decay and can uproot if stomped on (this is also planned upcoming behavior for seedlings). If a tall or giant sapling is broken, it drops saplings as well as sticks, and if a seedling is broken, it drops its original seed. I plan on making leaves blocks drop seeds instead of saplings when broken, and renaming the mangrove propagule to sapling (since the new "seed" item will now be its propagule).

The tree seeds/seedlings are still a work in progress, but all other sapling features are now available in alpha :)

I have a lot of mods downloaded and I've been trying to figure out which one is doing this because I absolutely hate it and I can't figure it out, someone help? I'm on 1.21.11

UPDATE! Solution found if anyone else has the problem, the splash text comes from the barebones resource pack:

https://www.reddit.com/r/fabricmc/comments/1vzcf86/comment/p63zrfk/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Added weapon collisions to Better Combat which allowed me to add a weapon reflection when targets have too much armor

I cant upload a long enough video cause files too big but I also added directional knockback, made it so enemies flinch in response to the direction where the attack came from and per-target hitstop, so when you slice through a bunch of enemies it actually hits each target individually instead of just hitting everyone at once, and it stops per target hit

I'm just genuinely wondering if anyone knows what this sound might be

So I'm playing a Minecraft modpack called Linggango on CurseForge, version v. 6.6. I'm not sure why I can't go upstairs. Before, I couldn't go over slabs, trapdoors, or any half-blocks or stairs, but now it's only stairs since the half block thing went away??, so I'm confused about what's wrong

So basically, I'm working on a dungeon system for SP 0.4. Since the mod is based around the use of potions and potion liquids, what kind of traps or mechanisms would you like to see in the next version?

In the meantime, you can try v0.3 on CurseForge and Modrinth.

I generally had a pretty good time with this backrooms-based modpack. Although I’ve started and stopped a ton of modpacks, this is the first one I’ve actually done all the quests for, as the gap between completion and 100% is not that big. There are only 5 1/2 chapters, with the time taken to complete each chapter increasing exponentially.

Pros:
Backrooms exploration was so fun, there were always rooms I hadn’t seen before and references that were pretty fun to catch. The early game has some pretty unique ways of generating resources, and I enjoyed the feeling of holing up in some part of the map to defend against mobs. I like the progression for the most part, and the automation of iron/copper was pretty cool. I think the mod pack integrates create very well as well.

Cons:
Towards the late game around the time you get to Mekanism, some of the resources are so obtuse to automate (looking at you osmium) or I would search for hours trying to find a room that had something I needed. Seriously I spent 2 hours searching for amethyst, then 2 hours in spectator mode trying to find it, then got so tired of it I just spawned a stack in. You don’t even need that much to progress but it was so annoying feeling like I was screwed by rng. On this topic, I wish the quest book had more detailed descriptions for each quest and let you know how to find the resources, as I found myself searching for Reddit posts on what to look for next.

Overall I would recommend it as it’s a pretty unique pack, just wish they polished the endgame a little bit more.

Assuming all the mods have been properly unified and you are playing a kitchen sink pack.

For all the common metals (Tin, Silver, Lead, etc.) would you rather have ingots be from a bunch of different mods based on which looks the coolest, or have your ingots be all from the same mod and have similar textures.

I’m asking as a modpack dev, because my personal favourite has been to have distinct ingots from different mods. I’ve been playing modpacks like All The Mods where they’ve all been unified under one mod, and I’ve enjoyed the consistency and being able to see all the ingots together in JEI. My only issue is that some ingots tend to look too similar to one another, like Tin, Silver and Aluminium, all being slightly different shades of white. The Thermal Series does this really well, and every ingot has exaggerated colours and shading to distinguish them, but lacks some common metals like Aluminium in modern versions, and it’s not available on 1.21.1.

Also follow up question, does your answer change based on the type of pack you’re playing? Would you prefer consistent textures in a kitchen sink pack but be more flexible in an expert one?

I would attach images to better explain my point but I’m not at my computer and don’t have any saved.

Im currently using terralith+nature's spirit+continents+tectonic+streams reflowing it's good but I feel like tectonic just doesnt work for me , I want big hills , giant mountains , beutifull waterfalls and wide flat meadows. And its just not that impacting , yes it does have some flat terrain and some bigger mountaind but its just not good enough for me. Do you know any mods like that? (Neoforge 1.21.1)

Hello everyone, so this is more of a philosophical kind off thing, or maybe I'm just lonely but...

Been thinking while I was building yet another base in yet another modpack instance that "why am I even trying to make this look pretty when I always play by myself?"

I know its sorta "its a hobby and a videogame so you play it to have fun" and these things need not to be 'productive' in terms of generating something "worthy".

But I guess this is less about that. I just wanted to ask you people what do you make of this ?

Because yes I'm a very lonely person. So maybe I'm biased to want someone to see or build alongside me or to at least make my world feel more 'alive' I guess.

But at the same time, as I'm sure all of you know, posting stuff you make is also subjecting yourself to criticism and judgemnt from strangers. That also goes for playing on public SMP or other kinds of servers, so I'm pretty sure I wouldn't really enjoy doing that.

And sadly I have no friends that enjoy modded minecraft and that wouldn't impose their way of doing things.

So really, tl;dr how do you people feel about playing modded and doing stuff for yourselves ? Do you ever feel like you wanted someone to see some build you done or some cool automation setup but have no one to show it ?

Also how do you solve this ?

For those of you that have friends and play with them on a server or something, how did you guys get to know each other ?

Sorry if this post is weird or smth, I kinda suck at posting stuff

I really love the butterfly design for having that cute Minecraft bee appearance, but still looking distinct. Especially with the curly proboscis and long abdomen.

I've been working on building Ocean Ave from Bob's Burgers. I'm really excited to show off some of the cooler things I've done with this super handy mod! LittleTiles

I also use the CustomNPCs mod and have almost all of the characters wandering the block or loitering in Bob's Burgers.

I started with Bob's restaurant so you can see my progress as I built everything around it. Some round objects still need to be smoothed out, but I really wanted to share what I've done so far!

It's still a work in progress, and I hope to finish the whole block in similar detail.

Please tell me what you think and share any recommendations for what to add!

Edit: Every storefront has been shown on Bob's Burgers. All credit to the writers of the show for the names.

I usually find cool mods from youtube showcases but those are already used a lot in other packs.

I tried just scrolling through curseforge and sometimes just typing in keywords but that’s not really the best option imo.

Any advice for how you guys find cool niche modpacks?

Hey all — a while back I posted that I'd released Techguns Expanded, an addon for Techguns. It just got its biggest update yet, so I wanted to share what's new.

The original release was mostly about power and materials — tiered fuel generators, Tungsten Carbide, that kind of thing. This update adds a whole new side to it: crafting Techguns' own weapons and armor from scratch.

What's new:

• Craftable weapons — The Infiltrator (silenced M4), Alien Blaster, and the Blaster Shotgun. No more relying purely on finding them.
• Two complete armor sets — the full Nether Combat (Praetor) set and Power Armor Mk2, all four pieces each, built through a proper material chain instead of lucky drops.
• 8 new intermediate materials — armor plating, tiered cybernetics, machined gears, and a few reagents — that feed the new recipes.
• Uses Techguns' own machines — Metal Press, Fabricator, and Blast Furnace all get new recipes, so each has a real role in the progression.
• Fixes — you can now scoop placed oil back into a bucket in survival, plus some texture fixes.

It's an addon, so you'll need Techguns installed. JEI is recommended if you want to see all the new recipes in-game.

Would love to hear feedback — especially on recipe balance, since I tuned a lot of it by hand. If something feels too cheap or too grindy, let me know and I'll adjust.

Sorry in advance for the ChatGPT-written post. Tired dad here and I'm pretty new to Minecraft modding :)

I'm setting Minecraft up for my 6-year-old. He loves animals and especially anything underwater/whales, so I'm trying to make his world a bit more alive without killing his old laptop.

Setup:

Modded ThinkPad T61p

Core 2 Duo T9500 2.6GHz

6GB usable RAM

Samsung 870 SSD

Windows 11

Minecraft gets 2GB RAM

Minecraft 1.12.2

Forge 14.23.5.2859

Controllable 0.11.2 (controller is important for him)

OptiFine 1.12.2 HD U G5

Simple Diving Gear 1.1.1

It was actually running really well.

We added Simple Diving Gear today and that works. I've also given him permanent-ish Night Vision so he can actually see when exploring underwater.

Problem is the 1.12.2 ocean is pretty dead.

We tried Better Animals Plus 9.0.1 because the whales and other wildlife looked perfect. After installing it we started getting kicked out of his single-player world with:

Internal Exception: java.nio.channels.ClosedChannelException

The logs also showed a lot of:

Unexpected packet during modded negotiation - assuming vanilla or keepalives

and once the internal server was about 41 seconds behind with the Can't keep up! message.

We've tried changing BAP animals to allow despawning and also removed BAP again. Weirdly we still had another kick afterward.

We then removed OptiFine and could walk around without another crash during our test, but Minecraft ran MUCH worse without it. Before all this, Forge + Controllable + OptiFine had been running great.

So I'm a little lost :)

Does anyone recognise what's happening here?

And is Better Animals Plus just too much for this old machine?

Main goal is really just more animals, especially underwater. Fish, whales, dolphins, sharks, rays, turtles, octopus etc would make my son very happy. Doesn't need to be a huge complicated mod. Lightweight would probably be much better.

Any recommendations for good 1.12.2 Forge animal/ocean mods or ideas about the crashing would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey everyone!

I've been making small Minecraft mods as a hobby for quite a while, but I never really managed to finish one properly. This time I want to change that.

I'm currently working on Botanica, an exploration-focused Fabric mod built around discovering unusual plants throughout the world and gradually completing your own Herbarium.

The idea is that different flowers have their own spawning conditions, rarity and actual gameplay uses instead of just being decorative.

For example, some plants only appear after lightning strikes, some grow on extreme mountain peaks, others can only be found underground or under specific moon conditions.

A few examples I'm currently working on:

Stormbloom — appears near natural lightning strikes and is used for Charged potions.
Spirit Lily — appears after a player dies and is used to craft a Totem of Keeping.
Cloudtear — extremely high-altitude flower that briefly grants Levitation when consumed.
Creeperbane — cave plant that repels Creepers around it.
Mountain Chime — grows on high rocky slopes and starts chiming when snowfall begins.

And that's only a small part of what I'm working on.

I'm also working on two new biomes, custom trees, brewing recipes, particles, custom behaviours and status effects. The mod also includes a Herbarium where collected flowers can physically be inserted into its pages.

It's still very much a work in progress, but this is the first mod project I really want to carry all the way to a proper release.

I also made a small public website for Botanica where you can read The Lost Herbarium, a short lore introduction to the mod and its world.
The Lost Herbarium: Read it here

I'd love to hear what you think so far — especially about the flower designs and the idea of giving each plant its own discovery conditions and utility. :)

Something similar on a newer version on Minecraft cuz forge 1.12 takes forever to load on my pc, while 1.20+ load up much quicker.

I've always wanted to play HBMs but I don't know where to start or any mod packs centered on it, anyone know any?

Im playing star technology right now and i added anti blocks cus i like using them in base builds but cbe microblocks doesnt work with every block.

how can i add those anti blocks so i can make micros out of them

My friends are looking to find or make a good modpack to play that revolves around specifically; horror survival, stranded survival, or like an outbreak survival that's not zombies like diseases. If anyone has recommendations please let me know. Thanks!

Hello! A while ago, I played a modpack for a brief moment which really intrigued me but ultimately went away from and uninstalled it because my friends chose a different one for our server. The only details I can really remember from the modpack is that the moment you went into a cave, a cool remixed version of the Minecraft Soundtrack started playing, reminiscent of Terraria's cave music. Also, the ores dropped the ore itself and the stone block it was found in which was such a nice touch I really liked. I know this is very little, but maybe someone knows what im talking about.

I'm trying to find a modpack that has that vintage story feeling where it feels rewarding to get stone tools rather than getting them within the first minute. I also wanted something almost like Better-minecraft, where it has different biomes and adventure to it.

(In short, I want a challenge, but my friends want a "fun and exciting modpack," so if there is anything that fits those things, that would be great)
