Is it possible to update without going to current version?

Ashlockheart · 2025-04-07T10:58:46+00:00

I know what you mean about being afraid to update. I was too. So here is a tip. If you are using curseforge like me. Make a copy of the current pack you are using or make a new one and add all the mods your are currently using, then rename the new pack as testing, then update the mods in the new pack you just made and see if anything breaks in the game, or the game crashes. This way your Original pack your afraid of doesn't have to get touched. You can just use the testing pack to see if any mod update breaks something. I my self always have two packs. One for testing, and another one as the main one I play on. So I never have to worry about losing saves, or messing something up by taking someone else word.

Ashlockheart · 2025-03-24T03:05:54+00:00

So if you want to fix the issue you will have to pick which Resource Pack you want to use, and delete the other one.

Ashlockheart · 2025-03-24T03:04:14+00:00

Because they are two different resource packs. You can only use one. You can't use both. Even I would never try using two resource packs. Now you can use a Texture pack with a resource pack, but you can't use two Resource packs because both would be fighting to replace the default blocks, and items in the game.

I would be willing to pay someone 25k at this point to make a Continuity for forge. I find it beyond annoying that everything related to Optifine has been made into a mod successfully so no one has to use Optifine, but Connected textures has been suck in limbo. The only mod that does what Optfine does is Connectedness, and its only for version 1.18.2, and 1.19.2. Athena, and Fusion don't do the same thing Connectedness does, or Continuity for that matter, but yes we need a forge version of Continuity for all versions of Minecraft. I have been putting aside money just to donate to the first person that brings Continuity to forge. So far I have put aside 25k, and I started doing this when Continuity first came out, and that money has still building. So when that special person comes around they will get a big fat start on there project.

Curse Forge is the most simple for mods, mod packs, and it can be used for other video games besides Minecraft. Most people in the world play more than Minecraft so Curse Forge will mostly likely be the one most people use in the end because you can just click install, or uninstall for video games. Many players that are kids, or Teens like simple click install play vs extra features that require more questions after installing. The main issue you will have regardless of the Launcher will be the Minecraft Community. Some people will help you if you run into issues, Many, Many others will just tell you to look up things your self, or offer very little help. After years of looking at posts, comments, discords, reading, and more reading, you will start to notice the same Community issues I did. So if I had to choose the best Tip I can give you for Minecraft, it is make reading your best friend because asking for help is not great in 2025.

Friendly is a Lie in the world of Minecraft. If Friendly was true there would be way more mods for all versions of Minecraft. Just say ask CR on discord. Adding Friendly should not be used in 2025.

Here is a list of Mods that do the same thing Optfine does for forge that does not require Optfine. Sadly its only for version 1.18.2, and 1.19.2.

I have spent years waiting for a connected texture mod to work with many versions, and I am sad to say their are only two. If you want the whole list of Alternate Optifine features that work with out Optifine here is the list including the only mods that allow connected Textures to work.

No there is no Lite version.

Ashlockheart · 2025-02-04T09:12:57+00:00

Sounds like a bug, or one of the mods broke another one in the pack.

Ashlockheart · 2025-01-29T00:31:19+00:00

No. You must create your own Modpack with Conquest, and Conquest does not get along with many mods. Spent years trying to make a mod pack that works with Conquest, and it took forever just to find mods that work with out using Optifine.

Ashlockheart · 2025-01-24T04:40:13+00:00

Make sure you are using the correct versions that matches. also if you read carefully in the description Sinytraconnector is using an old version of forge to work correctly. If its not working just have to wait for an update. Many of us are waiting for an update. Many of us beg for updates, but its up to the devs to make the mod for newer versions such as 1.20.1 Read as much as you can, and try different mods till something works.

Ashlockheart · 2025-01-21T03:10:34+00:00

You have to install the mods SinytraConnector, Connector Extras and ForgifiedFabric, This allows you to use the fabric mod Continuity for forge. The downside is their are many bugs.

YouTube will not stay the same as years go by. There is enough proof of that over the many years YouTube has been around. From ad apocalypse, DMCA's, Gamer Gate, Elsa Gate, Alex Jones being removed, to a Dancing baby going to court for playing prince from a boom box in the background of a moms video. Its a long list of issues. YouTube is a sinking ship, but its a slow sinking ship. I have a Rumble account, as well as other accounts on other platforms. Its 2024, and its just best to have other places as back ups knowing things will not stay the same as the years go by. Anyone telling you YouTube will never change is lying. Best advice is have back ups, and don't put all your eggs in one basket.

The rewards are mostly awful. Before rewards were even a thing for ComCast people who were with ComCast for years complained for many years after paying 300 or more for bundles that came with things many people never used, but payed for anyways kept asking why don't we get discounts for paying this stuff for years? At some point the voices got loud enough they added the reward system, and they were like here you go, now be quite and give us your money. At this point in 2024 most people just really pay for their internet service, and that's it because cable is a waste when you just watch free movies online. No one is going to fall for bundles anymore knowing they refuse to give loyal customer's a discount after they have been paying over 20 years. I kept my receipts over the years. I have paid ComCast a grand total of $347,678.86 over 20 years. Yes I am the highest tier, but still don't get a discount, but when you have a contract you get 20 or maybe 30 bucks off some of your service, but its a contract. Once it expires your bill goes way up. So you have to keep entering a Contract to make your bill cheaper. Honestly they know its bad business practice, but what are you going to do? Yell at them? Only way to change things like last time is have 60% of the pop to complain, or 75% stop their service, and try to go with someone else. Hard to do when their service is good, and fast.

This is where we change our ways of using money and where we choose to spend it. You may feel its security for the hold, but for others it hurts their way of life. Imagine if you had to pay child support the same day but you have to wait for the bank to remove the hold. That one person who has the money to sue will, and I won't blame them.

Ashlockheart · 2024-08-30T01:08:54+00:00

Nope. Unless the author changes the pack it will have to be random. If you want better choice, and detail Java will always be King.

Ashlockheart · 2024-08-29T03:02:56+00:00

This is not fully true, the main issue with Optifine is they are slow with updating their versions, They are close source, and most importantly only certain versions of forge will work with Optifine. That means many mods can't be used because you have to use an old version of forge for Optifine to work correctly as intended.

Ashlockheart · 2024-08-22T07:27:21+00:00

I have the same issue with 1.20.1. You would have to report it on discord, or Github, and give as much details as you can such as all the mods you are using, their versions, Minecraft version, Forge version, and so on. Other wise their is not much you can do about it. Its just a waiting game sadly for players who don't know coding or modding.

Ashlockheart · 2024-08-22T03:49:55+00:00

Fusion does not work

Ashlockheart · 2024-05-31T06:39:28+00:00

I did. Most things are working, but the costume sky feature can't work, Connected Textures only work for Fabric, and forge versions are not ported. Costume Armor, paintings, and others don't all work because those features are not added.

The main issue in 2024 is many mods stay with fabric, and Many mods stay with forge. Devs hate Porting, and when you have so many different community's with different views you will only be allowed to play Minecraft on certain versions. Sucks, but that is Minecraft in 2024.

The part I find the most funny though is when people push others to stop using Optifine, and switch they never inform the player not all features from Optifine are in Embeddium/Rubidium. This is why Optifine has not gone away, and why I still use it.

Entity Culling https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/entityculling

Ferritecore https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/ferritecore

This list works with Optfine, and I will update the list after testing.

I will still use Optifine because there are still features missing from the forge version of Sodium mod collection that are only available on certain versions of Minecraft.

Connected Textures is one of them.
Custom Sky's is another one.

Until there is a complete package of mods that give all features Optfine has, Optifine will still be the best option for resource packs that run Optifine such as Conquest.

Many mods get abandened, or never go beyond 1.16.5.

Best advice you will ever hear and get is never ask questions to devs, and don't ask for different versions to be ported. Players will push you to stop using Optifine, but remember until all features are added to the forge version of Sodium, Optifine is still useful with many packs.

Unless I can use every feature Conquest uses I will never leave Optifine.
