Today’s game is Minecraft. Specifically Attack of The B-Team. Growing up I had a specific fondness for this mod-pack after seeing a YouTuber I liked play a whole series of it. If I had to pick 3 mods/mod-packs that caught my attention before I owned Minecraft this would probably be at the top, followed by Digimobs, and then Pixelmon (for a while I also had a soft spot for Hexxit too).
I actually set this up as a server for me and my friends. It took a little more work since it’s Minecraft 1.6.4, but I got there. The first issue I ran into is Java 8 wouldn’t work. Then the server wasn’t loading the right world type. I ended up figuring out I was launching the wrong jar file. I was launching Forge, while I needed to be launching BTeam.jar.
After that though I got it all setup. It’s nice to be playing this again. This is my ideal “classic mod-pack” and playing it’s like a rush of nostalgia.
I didn’t play long, as setting up the server ate up most of my free time but once I did get it set up I made a bee line for somewhere and started building a house too live in. Once I get back on, just having somewhere safe to live will be nice.
I don’t know many classic mod packs, but I’m almost afraid to touch any classic Minecraft mods because I worry reality will ruin my nostalgia for them. When I was a kid, I used to watch people playing with mods that I never could because my computer was a potato and I had to play MC on the Xbox 360. I was sooooo envious, but I still got some good memories of watching others play. I think Fossils and Archaeology is probably the biggest one for me.
Exactly the camp I was in lol. I didn’t have a computer and only got Xbox 360 edition like 2014 so mods weren’t exactly an option
I wanted it so bad that I eventually learned how to “mod” the xbox 360. I don’t remember at all what I did, but I could import worlds from the internet into the game using a flash drive. It wasn’t as cool as having mods, but it did allow me to play some adventure maps and giant redstone contraptions (some even worked!), which were another thing I was super envious of.
I remember being little and scowering the web trying to figure out how to mod my Xbox. I remember seeing a tutorial that touted itself as a “mod guide” and the dude just wrapped his TV in plastic wrap and dousing it with chocolate syrup because it looked kind of like a cave. I was so disappointed
