Yeah, still not back, but managed to download the unstable 1.12 at a family members house. I would love to play the Lost Cities setting with you guys sometime.

I've been trying and failing hard at "sink into madness" I've died so many times, it's embarrassing, you can't even chop down that tree they start you with in safety, 2 different mobs can spawn and try to kill you.

They have creepers, with laser, riding robotic t-rex's, and they don't de spawn.

**Inquisitor Lord Bane**

So gang, the 1.12 modpack for Direwolf dropped today. Take a gander at the list, and maybe we can see about upgrading in the near future?

Spoiler:

**Anvildude**

I'm not seeing Blood Magic on there...

**Inquisitor Lord Bane**

He made no indication of it being added in the future either. Normally if you watch the Youtube series, he will note missing packs and if they will be added later. I think Astral Sorcery is meant to take its place.

My only personal thing is that there is no EnderIO, but life goes on.

**darkinnit**

Hello!

I also spotted the new Direwolf20 pack yesterday. Blood Magic may be absent, but I noticed that Twilight Forest is back!

What are people's thoughts on it? Go for the new hotness or is anyone still wanting to finish some project on the current pack?

Or try something completely different?

**Anvildude**

Astral Sorcery is neat, for sure, but I'm just... really annoyed at the lack of interesting magic mods recently. Embers is more of a shiny tech mod, Botania's the same... Blood magic is very thematic, but it takes ages to get to the point where you're actually, you know, doing magical stuff.

Where's the Thaumcraft equivalent, full of cool items and strange automotons? The spellmaker like Ars Magicka? Heck, I'd settle for a good necromancy style mod at this point.

**Inquisitor Lord Bane**

This pack is lacking a bit in the magic department, I'll give you that. I've been thinking about a Lost Cities multiplayer, but that would be a poor choice for a primary server.

still no decocraft, it seems we lose more than we gain. let's skip this one and keep our current one.

**Anvildude**

Eh. Decocraft, much like Chisel, is essentially replaced by Chisel'n'bitz, in a way. Yes, they both add unique things (specific stones, pattern, pre-made items) but you can bitz your way to similar outcomes in most cases.

Yes you can make all that stuff with chiels, BUT I'd rather the stuff come pre assembled

A lot less time and effort for the same result.

**sirlynchmob**

As a thought though, maybe wait til we get 1.14 packs and do a reset then? So around summertime 2018.

**Inquisitor Lord Bane**

The only issue there is that a bunch of the more popular mods are being done for each version, so I'll bet its going to be alot longer than that. I though Thaumcraft was skipping 1.10, apparently Azanor is still working on 1.10. This is just one example I could find. I'm fine staying where we are due to the new Direpack being a bit light. Maybe we can wait for a few more packs to come out and talk about it again.

**darkinnit**

I'm happy to stay on the current version for now. Less work for me!

I've actually been playing a bit recently again. Built a Wither battle room, beat the Wither, built a Gaia Guardian battle arena, beat the first one of those. Now I can fly, woo

**Melissia**

I have no opinion either way. I haven't really been playing much lately... so I really shouldn't have any say.

**Anvildude**

If there is a changeover, any way I could get a world download? I'm rather liking my island right now.

**darkinnit**

Of course. I usually have world downloads available after any world reset. But for now I'm happy to stick on this pack until there's more interest in a new pack.

**Inquisitor Lord Bane**

I'm in the process of making a pack, it mostly revolves around the Lord of the Rings Mod (which is awesomesauce), but I kept the overworld, and added some magic and tech mods to it. Only real downside is that it is 1.7.10.

**sirlynchmob**

Interesting times are afoot, Azanor has thaumcraft 6 available for beta testing

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

**Inquisitor Lord Bane**

WHOO! Now if it can get added to the new Direpack, I'd vote for the upgrade.

**Anvildude**

I will say, I'll be a little sad to see my island fortress go away. I like the Highlands islands look.

**Inquisitor Lord Bane**

I know, it took me about 10 hours of walking to find my current island chain that I call home. Not keen on repeating that journey, but a fresh start would be nice. Every time I log on, I'm alone, kinda killed my interest a bit.

**Anvildude**

Same here. A bit, anyways. Part of it is also that I got used to not having 20 bajillion mods going on at once- I don't need 15 different ways of generating energy and transporting items.

Or the first non direpack that has it

As long as the rest of said pack doesn't suck, I'm down.

I find the infinity packs to be better than direwolfs, they have all the mods from direwolf and a few more. The ones direwolf leaves out are usually the ones that are just really helpful, like the version we're using was missing most of the RF generating packs so infinity would have helped a lot more with getting started with power and mid power solutions.

**Anvildude**

It's gotta have Chisels'n'Bitz. That's a new auto-include for me, and I can go without a lot of other stuff as long as that's in.

**Inquisitor Lord Bane**

Has anyone looked at the new Revelations pack? Its still magic-light (all of 1.12 still is), but it has a good amount of cosmetic and utilitarian mods. If it gets Thaumcraft, that's my vote.

I'd rather wait for a 1.13 pack with it, because turtles & dolphins and coral reefs, oh my

For those who want to try it now, all the mods 1.10.2 added it in.
