Minecraft Forums

Boy that takes me back. I remember long ago that my parents tried (this was pre-tablet days) to give me half an hour of screentime with a timer. I think about the only thing I did on the computer was look up Lego instructions or play The Incredible Machine 3 probably lol. They gave up not long after.

The problem was that they were (and still are) way more addicted to screens than I am.

Also, as far as Discord goes, why do people enjoy a site that forces you to register and accept invitations to even view a sub-forum/community or whatever they are called (I've seen people leave links and when I clicked on them I was prompted to register)? I'm not inclined to even bother with sites like that

I can't stand the fact that I'd have to join a Discord server just to download a mod, resourcepack, shaderpack or fangame or whatever. But sadly this is often the reality nowadays. A forum is just such a nice centralised place for downloading stuff while finding information about said stuff (Curse is good enough in Minecraft's case, but user-to-dev interaction seems to be at a minimum). I really don't feel like having to join some server just to download a mod and then having to rejoin every time that mod updates.

Don't even get me started on asking questions on most Discord servers. The people in there often treat you like crap when you ask a question because you 'don't know the rules' or their 'in-jokes'

Man, I've been checking out some of the forums (or would it be 'fora'?) I used to post on some 10 years ago and I'm sad to see that most are pretty much dead nowadays. Minecraft is still a huge game and there are luckily still a lot of posts made on this forum but it's not the same as it has been years ago.

Modders don't seem to bother with maintaining a forum post on here nowadays. It's either just posted on Curse (which is a heck of a lot better than the countless of dead Megaupload or adfly links on here lol) or Patreon, which seems to be a trend with modders on all games (easier to put it behind a paywall than relying on that easily overlooked Paypal-donation button, right?)

Most new threads I see on here now are from day-old accounts not realising that you can just ask your question about a mod in the mod's thread itself and have a better chance of getting an answer (or even Googling) than making a new thread in the wrong forum section and having it locked within the hour lol.

But the forum is not dead yet compared to most forums I used to be even more active on. I'm most of all just curious where all of those people have gone. Maybe Facebook groups? Or maybe Discord? Although I think most users have just moved on.

What an interesting time in internet history.

Am I the only one who barely remembers when they started?

I believe I first checked it out somewhere in 2010 but I wasn’t very impressed at all, it took all the way till beta 1.8 which introduced Creative mode for me to start playing it. I just wanted a game which to build in. Pretty soon I spent more time downloading mods than playing the game lol. Good times.

I also remember preferring Roblox back in 2010 because “you could do so much more in it”

You have to check out “Makeup and Vanity set”! Classic synthwave albums (‘88:88’ and ‘Wilderness’) It’s not all vocals but the songs which do are great. Especially on their album Wilderness. Good stuff.

Whatever happened to the requirement to have screenshots in a thread? I just want to see what it looks like before I sink my time into installing this

Why do people still make bucketfill packs? It's been done since the beginning of Minecraft and probably the only good one was the oCd Pack

It lags way less than any version after. (also old style biomes probably)

Do you have any screenshots on the thread? I can't seem to find any.

Shouldn't you just ask this in the Floricraft Thread? This is not the right forum section for that

Textures look really muddy. It just looks like you used a 32x texturepack and downsized it

'Balkons' Weapons mod', or the more recent 'Reforged' are what you're looking for probably.

I recommend you upload this mod to Curse. It's much easier to manage, and you can keep older versions, for the people who liked them.

The main problem would be the lack of buttons. And no second analog nub.

Nice ideas!

We do have other birds coming... in fact, this is one of our modelers specialties (Raptorfarian). These birds, however, were not suggested until now
