Ark’s Magical Modded Minecraft Misadventure 42 : Railcraft Iron Tanks

My oil drilling has been a splendid success, but it has left me with the problem of where to store it all. Buildcraft tanks are excellent for moderate amounts of liquids, but for massive storage, the best way is to go with some variety of multiblock tank, and I’m going to be using Railcraft’s Iron Tanks for that purpose

Railcraft by CovertJaguar : The first appearance for Railcraft! There are quite a lot of other mods which […]

Ark’s Magical Modded Minecraft Misadventure 41 : Mystcraft Linking Books

If it is true, as the villager claimed, that each point of light in the night sky is home to another world, I must one day visit them!

Not today though. Today, I put together the linking books that would allow me to get home again.

Mods Encountered

Mystcraft 0.10.5 by XCompWiz: I’m quite excited to finally be making a start with Mystcraft. It is the gateway through which I’ll be seeing many modded biomes for the first time.

A Short Break

My father is visiting for a few days, so I probably won’t get the chance to put out anything new til Sunday, unless I manage to grab an hour here and an hour there. (They take a lot longer to make than you might imagine!). We shall see. At any rate, normal rates of production should return next week!

If you usually only watch the videos through this site, you might enjoy a rummage through my YouTube channel, where you […]

Ark’s Magical Modded Minecraft Misadventure 40 : Lost in the Labyrinth

I’d set out into the Great Desert to gather sand, and have a look inside the Pyramid, but as I set about digging, I noticed the entrance to an underground labyrinth from Project Zulu. I couldn’t resist taking the chance of encountering some of CrudeDragos’ monsters!

Mods Encountered

Project Zulu 1.0.3.9 by CrudeDragos: This episode was almost pure Project Zulu, with it providing both the scenery and the opposition. I suspect that the pyramid might also be Project Zulu, […]

Ark’s Magical Modded Minecraft Misadventure 39 : A Forestry Biogas System.

My tree-breeding programme has been progressing slowly behind the scenes, and I’ve amassed rather a lot of saplings that I really don’t need. Fortunately, there is a way to turn them into Buildcraft energy in a way that is far more efficient than just slinging them in the furnace.

Mods Encountered

Buildcraft 3.7.1 maintained by CovertJaguar: Buildcraft provides all the various pipes which now riddle my base behind the walls.

My Adventuring with Ark Minecraft Build – 7th July Update.

7th of July 2013 Update:

The main changes since the last update:

Extra Trees is now bundled up with Extra Bees, adding another 75 breedable tree species. I’m giving the Fossil and Archaeology mod a tryout. While I’m not going to find much from it until I go out into newly generated areas, it seems stable so far. Railcraft, too, has arrived late at the station. I didn’t include it originally, as I didn’t want to go overboard with tech […]

Ark’s Magical Modded Minecraft Misadventure 38 : Village Defense with Utility Mobs

Verdania Village has already had a few ups and downs, population-wise. As Testificates are avowed pacifists, I’m going to have to invest in some defenses.

Mods Encountered

Forestry 2.2.8.3 by Sir Sengir: This adds both an Apiarist and a Forester villager, and they’re well worth getting your hands on. Mod villagers can turn up as the result of any villager breeding. I could really do with some Mystcraft librarians to be born.

Ars Magica 5.52.013 by Mithion: While I […]
