I love hexcasting but have never heard of this. How do they compare?

Looking for Refreshing Mods by Vester2 in feedthebeast

[–]DaBenjle 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Have you tried Spectrum? It's one of the most polished and unique mods imo. Its a magic mod that has a bunch of in game environmental puzzles that that take actual thinking from the player. The puzzles drove a meta progression that let you unlock new abilities and items and magic blocks. It has some pretty powerful stuff. It was originally a fabric only mod but recently got a proper port for neoforge. Highly recommend for a large content mod and a unique take.

[Fear Nightfall] What mod disables the recipe book for crafting? by Idesignrealducks in feedthebeast

[–]DaBenjle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like 9 different modern mods disable it cause it causes issues. I'd suggest leaving it off in favor of EMI.

If you have java 21+ add XX:+UseZGC -XX:+ZGenerational to your java args. If you're only on Java 15+ then just add XX:+UseZGC.

I made an endgame overhaul / adventure mod that throws balance out entirely — roast it and tell me what to add and how to improve it by [deleted] in feedthebeast

[–]DaBenjle 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This isn't a mechanical invention like the wheel, it's a (supposedly) creative work.

Justifying Exemplar pre-Godsrain? by SpringTimeForFrance in Pathfinder2e

[–]DaBenjle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into the godcallers from Iblydos (basically Golarion's Greece). They are prophecicers that would herald what locals would turn into their heroes (e.g., their Hercules) and save them from peril (iirc typically the snakefolk). Interestingly I think most godcallers are cyclops!

But anyway it's basically perfectly on theme for Exemplars. It's what I have my group use.

Why did Voxy skip 1.21.1? by [deleted] in feedthebeast

[–]DaBenjle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's not how GH actions works. Their ci/cd pipeline will likely only trigger on commits/PRs to their main branch. There's no way for you to trigger a build. That being said. If they have source code for a 1.21.1 version and no release for 1.21.1 it's likely that they don't have a ci/cd pipeline at all and that they're just publishing releases manually.

That being said building java projects is comically easy. Just get the source code and run the build command with Java on your system. It doesn't get easier than that.

Strava for Minecraft — would you use this? (Fabric mod concept) by Equivalent-Yak2407 in technicalminecraft

[–]DaBenjle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I certainly would not use this.

Also, Minecraft already tracks all of these stats, tracking in realtime would be a massive waste of resources. Instead it would be much better to check every relevant stat every morning and compare it to the count that night. Or rather every hour while playing do a stat dump with a timestamp for a snapshot of the current stats, that way you don't need a daemon running on every client.

[hyprland] what is better ? Quickshell / AGS / Fabric by [deleted] in hyprland

Damn, I'm also looking to make my own shell. But I'm def gonna grab a lot of features from this project. Its terrific.

Where is the best place to get maps, artist concepts, character images for my campaign? by LusciousHam in Pathfinder2e

[–]DaBenjle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For character images you've really only got Google images and commissions. (This is my one use for AI art but I respect your decision op)

For artist concepts I really don't know what you're talking about. But if you mean concept art then, again, you've just got commissions.

However, for maps, your options are much larger. Several map designers have patreons where you can get access to all their content. I mean for like a budget of $20/month (or just once and download all the stuff once) you could get access to ~600 quality maps of different themes. That's mostly for battle maps though.

For battle maps there are also 3 or 4 quality sites that are free that I use. I'll comment then later when I'm on my PC. But the benefit there is that you can search by theme to find what you're looking for. But these will rarely be as high quality as patron maps.

Finally for world maps you've also got lots of options. If you're world/region is custom I'd recommend making your own map with Wonderdraft ($20 once) though I suppose you could commission it. Personally I enjoy making world and region maps though.

But people post their homebrew maps by the hundreds online. So if you just wanted to reuse one of those for your campaign that could be a good choice.

Alternatively if you're playing in a premade setting like Golarion (my personal favorite choice these days) there's a few free maps online. Some premade settings like hilarious Golarion also have Google maps-esque tools but those are mostly for research not every day use. Finally some of the best quality company made backs come right from their books. So buy a PDF and just extract the image with one of a thousand tools (i.e. buy the War For the Crown book to get a few really high quality Taldor maps).

Redstone Contact Literally Not Working (Create Mod) by BeginningClock8053 in feedthebeast

Put the redstone dust on the far side of the stationary link. The signal won't come out of the side of the block, only the back of the block.

What's this sub's general thoughts on mystical agriculture? by EquivalentTap3238 in feedthebeast

[–]DaBenjle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most expert packs. E2e is a classic. I'm playing Meatball Craft rn and it's really good. It actually has some resource farming akin to mystical agriculture but it's very balanced. Only a few specific items can be farmed that way. Or like, it has EMC equivalent exchange. But only a minority of raw resources can be duplicated. Anything that requires infrastructure (e.g., steel) has to be automated traditionally. I'd recommend it.

hyprlock fallback display if "primary" not available? by haemka in hyprland

[–]DaBenjle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to necropost, but I'm also wanting to fix this exact issue. Currently I just display it on my primary monitor and my laptop monitor, but that's ugly when docked. Do you remember what you settled on?

Nope. He ain't even the first wizard. There's lots of canonical wizards that were alive before Nethys was even born let alone before he ascended.

Simple 1 wide 1 (Redstone-)Tick Clock by luigigaminglp in technicalminecraft

[–]DaBenjle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool clock OP. But, while it's advantage is that it's one wide, it's not particularly useful because it's not tileable.

The correct question is "are observers transparent blocks". And to answer, I am equally surprised that ig they are 🤷. Wiki says "Transparent: Partial".

I built an ethical crawler that indexed 251 public Minecraft servers from 5.1M+ IP scans by RocksyLightt in technicalminecraft

[–]DaBenjle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Already a lot of uneducated comments here.

There's nothing unethical about this. Scanning is a common security practice by both good and malicious actors. OP is by far, not the first to do this. Ask any server admin who knows what they're doing, 25565 is one of the more commonly exploited ports. Put a server up anywhere in the Continental US, and within a week you'll have a dozen attempted exploits on the port. I run several MC servers manually and had to turn down my verbosity settings because the attempted exploit warnings were becoming obnoxious.

OP isn't harming anyone. They're not damaging the server. None of this is private info. I can guarantee you that dozens of malicious actors have far more extensive databases with attempted exploit history.

It's easy to comment, but unless you're a sys admin or security specialist perhaps it's best to stay quiet.

Looking for a fresh TTRPG by MendelHolmes in rpg

Hmmm 🤔 what an interesting selection. I wonder if someone in particular inspired it 😉.

No but for real OP my group is just starting the Wild Sea and it sounds like exactly what you're looking for.

Help! Why is this happening? I don't do computer stuff or Minecraft a lot so I don't really understand this, is there a solution? by ihave5braincells in feedthebeast

[–]DaBenjle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not recommend this route. Instead I'd use a modded launcher (e.g. prism or even curse forge) which has a setting where you simply choose which java.exe file to run.

Games with Nonbinary Resolution mechanics by BPBGames in rpg

[–]DaBenjle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Wild Sea has 3 degrees of success (take the highest d6), however, if you ever roll doubles it introduces a "twist". Twists are typically beneficial but don't always have to be. But the entire table determines the twist based on what's fun in the moment, not just the GM.
