Today's game is Minecraft. I got a bunch of friends together for a modded Server and we've been playing on it all day. It's fun to have something so lively to play on. I set it up on a little mini PC i shoved in the corner. It runs surprisingly well. On top of that keeps the power bill down.

I added Tinker's construct too it for myself just because i adore the tool system. As such it was the first thing i did before even a house. It's really handy to have access too the advanced tools it gives you so i wanted those ASAP.

I set up a smelter first, then sprinted off to a Mesa too get clay. I like to melt it in the smelter and pour it on bricks to get my blocks for the Forge. From there it's easy.

Due to the lack of a house, i frequently got into fights with the local population. One of the mods i have added bosses that spawn every once and a while. I have mixed feelings, because they're cool, but way too OP. I want to see if i can tone them down in the settings.

Speaking of way too OP, Ice and Fire. It was added at the request of a friend and god do i get frustrated by this mod. It feels like it's sole purpose is to fuck me over in as many ways as possible. it's like "Here's 8 fire dragons, and then here's some Sea Serpents too kill you while you try to get your stuff back. And then here's some sirens, then a pixie steals your sword". I ended up messing with the config to make things more tolerable so there's at least that, but damn, the dragons are OP as fuck.

I also added a shader pack for myself. I'm not usually big on these as i feel like they make the game kind of fuzzy and crank up the bloom, but this one i kind of like just for the way it makes the ores glow.

I ended off for the night by helping a friend get acquainted, before hopping off to start prototyping a machine too make train tracks for Create Steam and Rails. I automated it pretty well so i'm excited to show that off next time i play.
