Tash-Ploration

Manage a village & grow a community, exploration & archaeology, display your found artifacts, build civilization, all while having tech to assist you along the way.

Description

Welcome to the Tash-Ploration modpack!

I've included dinosaurs as who wouldn't want to build a dinosaur area for your villagers to see; though I'd recommend building the walls around your village out of at least iron - some dinosaurs can destroy blocks!

Additionally included is some tech packs to help you power your village and explore the world. There's plenty of exploration available as well as archaeology with Fossils and Archaeology mod, as well as Atum 2: Return to the Sands. Your villagers deserve a museum so you can show off your plunders, build it for them!

You want a medieval village to run, and want more vintage looking power generation? Immersive Engineering is installed - you can power your hidden crafting factory by using themed windmills and waterwheels that spin.

You want a more western looking town run off oil? Immersive Petroleum is installed, you can run your town from the oil in the ground, but beware, you need to search for it first!

For those of you looking for a more modern take, there's craft-able drive-able vehicles, fuel, and fuel pumps, roads with road signs, even train crossings for those of you wanting overland minecarts, or regular trains using RailCraft. Power your systems using Mekanism or Extreme Reactors. Craft and drive your cars with the Ultimate Car Mod, and power your vehicles with canola based bio-diesel.

Want to charge for your fuel?

"You can shift+rightclick the fuel station if you are the owner.

This opens the admin UI.

There you can specify the item and the amount of fuel per item.

If you want to fuel your car, just put the specified item in the slot on the lower left side and press start. The fuel station takes out the items as needed." - henkelmax (mod author)

For those of you with loads of materials and not so good building skills? Try out Archicraft Building!

Tired of always losing your stuff when you die? We've got cool gravestones that are locked with a key! You also get some time, as long as you're quick and stealthy (don't attack things!) to be in "ghost-form" to get your stuff quickly! You can even add an ender pearl to your gravestone key, and dimensional teleport directly to your grave! Maybe not do this if you died in lava!

Don't like mobs at all? Well make your portal to the Mining Dimension for your grinding needs!

While testing, found a very pretty seed start. Very nice large river that undercuts the ground, and into some mountains. Nearby village spawn as well.

NOTE: Mod limitations for the Tek-Topia mod - DO NOT take other villages structure tokens and attempt to use in your village - they WILL NOT WORK - in addition, it will cause extreme server lag while logging all the "Structure Marker item.structure[type] bound to INCORRECT village - BlockPos [block position coordinates of structure marker]" entries.

Server instructions:

I recommend to use McPeachPies one-click command block structure command blocks for:
Enable command blocks in your server under the servers.properties file. Restart server if running.
Next run the following commands as an OP:
/gamerule commandBlockOutput false

/gamerule logAdminCommands false
This will prevent console spamming you will see.

Ensure placement of command blocks are fully inside the spawn chunks - the AFK detector one, you will want to spawn the blocks 2 spaces OUTSIDE the spawn chunk to ensure the multi-command block structure built is fully INSIDE the spawn chunk.
I recommend encasing all command blocks in a bedrock cube for protection.

Recommend putting the following in a .BAT file to start your server - better RAM usage is achieved:

Extreme Reactors: I recommend using this configurator, as it's very helpful in planning out the optimal layout for your needs and testing w/ out having to build, fuel, place cooling liquids, etc and test live. https://br.sidoh.org/#reactor-prompt Originally made for Big Reactors, the Extreme Reactors mod is the successor to the older mod, this configurator still works very well.

Current known issues:
v.1.1.2:

◘ Do not your vehicles thru the Aroma1997 Dimensional doorway BEFORE you go thru ONE time to generate world. Your vehicle will disappear. Once you have generated the dimension, driving thru is just touch the portal, vehicle goes thru, then you crouch to enter, and can right click your vehicle and drive out of the portal. There is about a 5 to 10 second time you can do this or interacting with the portal again will move your vehicle back to spawn.

◘ Vehicles take Bio_Diesel, BioDiesel, Diesel, and Gasoline fuels in this pack. I could not change speed / efficiency / acceleration per fuel type per vehicle type - it would default to the slowest type for that vehicle type. An issue was logged with creator of this mod, found here: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/ultimate-car-mod/issues/79
