Testbed

Why ?

I used to test mods interactions, see if no bug append, and to do so, it's always the same:

• new profile containing very few mods that helps.
• a superflat world using the 43:8 block.
• few repetitive commands.

So, after some exchanges with Squeek502, I had the idea to create a proper modpack as a "standardized" testbed available for everyone ! :)

The map preset included contain:

• block 43:8 as floor
• a column of conveniently pre-filled command blocks with redstone contraptions:
  • Enabling/Disabling Daylight cycles.
  • Enabling/Disabling mob spawning.
  • Warp to different hours of the day and the night aswell.
  • Incrementing or decrementing the time of the day.
  • Activating or disabling weather auto-cleaning.

Mods included:

• Admin Command Toolbox
• Aroma1997 Core
• Aroma Backup
• CodeChicken Core
• Hardcore Map Reset
• Inventory Tweak
• NotEnoughItems
• NotEnoughResources
• Waila
• Waila Harvestability

How to test a mod/mods interaction ?

1. Install and unlock this profile.
2. install the required mods for the test (pay attention to the versions used).
3. launch the profile and create a new world using the provided preset.
4. Test things, or try to reproduce the bug you're aware of.
5. ...
6. PROFIT.
7. Post your logs in Gist or any decent code highligting/sharing site.
8. Create a new ticket in the issue tracker of the concerned mod(s) with the link to your gist.

Tips: if you want a swift and friendly answer from the mod authors/maintainers, be sure to be polite and don't assume a thing, you don't know how they work, something that look trivial may mean a total rewrite of a mod ! And also, they are not under your command, they may eventually accept suggestions or feature requests, but they don't have to !
