Arise, dead thread, and walk the earth!!
I have been really enjoying the Mod pack "Rogue Adventure and Dungeons" lately.
The same youtube trio I watch play other mod packs picked this up a while back and it seems like the complete mod pack I have wanted for a long time.
I have been playing when I have the time over the last several days.
It's primary selling points for me:
- It has a very elaborate item system that allows to to customize your armor and gear through a separate XP system that applies to gear...
- It includes the Fairy Forrest Dimension
- It includes a storage automation system (item conduits, etc.)
- It have a variety of complex dungeons to explore
- It has a well developed magic system
I think the funniest part of Minecraft for me, in general, and is only exacerbated by the difficulty of this mod pack, is the fact that when you have made a lot of progress in the game it becomes VERY important to set up a routine when you start a new session just to get your head in the game, because going in cold is a guaranteed way to ruin all your progress minutes after you start up.
It happened to me two days ago where I had geared up significantly in the previous session by meticulously dismantling a rather extensive Cave Spider dungeon. I eagerly got back to it after work the next day and started winding my way through the corridors to get back to where I left off, only to carelessly miss a turn and end up surrounded by dozens of cave spiders who destroyed me. I couldn't even recover the gear I had gathered the night before because it was now surrounded by angry cave spiders and I only had 5 minutes to collect it before it despawned.
But being a grizzeled Minecraft veteran I am used to such drastic and immediate shifts of fate... Like the time I spent the better part of two gaming sessions building a central water feature to a castle I was carving out of a mountain, and the moment I finished and stepped by I saw a creeper standing next to me who then exploded...
I love this game so much.
Edit: Here is the start of the adventure by the Youtube team...
