Today’s game is a modded Minecraft server. After months of trial and error (and maybe just a little procrastination), I finally got it set up. This thing has Ice and Fire, ICBMs to deal with Ice and Fire, Create, Thermal Dynamics, TWO Space Mods (Mostly because I accidentally added a second one and I can’t figure out which mods are the space mods), and a ton more. It’s a bit of a kitchen sink modpack, but it’s mostly for me and my friends to play on. So as long as everyone is having fun, then that’s okay.
The ice pillar in the screenshot is where I spawned. Nearby, there were 3 ice and fire dragons, so I immediately had to book it after they saw me. After a while of running, I came across an abandoned mine colony village taken over by a dragon I nicknamed Smaug, as it seemed appropriate for him having taken over a city. Unfortunately for Smaug, he was stuck in a rock, and I had the ability for ice and fire dragons to destroy blocks turned off. (Coming home to find your base demolished by a dragon you didn’t know was there can turn out to be not fun.)
After a while, I came across an Ice Tower (major upgrade from the Ice Pillar) and decided to build my home there. We have large biomes on because we have Create Steam and Rails on here and thought it would be fun to do our own little nation thing to encourage us all to set up rail systems and collaborate on things for fun. (Mine colonies and Minecraft Comes Alive will help sell the “nation” part.)
After a few hours of mining, I ended up starting to build a café terrace thing on the top of a mountain. I got the terrace part done, but the café will come later.
I also got a Cobblestone generator with a Water Wheel Setup, so I’m leaving it running while I sleep. Here’s the little hole I made to AFK in while letting it run:
It’s a lot of fun, but I struggle to keep them alive lol. They always end up killed by zombies or something before I can build the first structure for them to stay in
I played with the cavern pack (digging out “buildings” like a dwarf) and I didn’t have as big of a problem on that front. The miners and guards would occasionally follow some little crevice and end up dying in lava 5000 blocks away!
I think i saw that one while putting together this modpack! I considered it but none of my friends i play with are big RTS fans and i didn’t want to mess with a modpack that was already working lol

Mine Colonies was the only way I could get back into Minecraft. Living in and managing a busy town is much more interesting.

I love revisiting modded Minecraft every once in a while. There’s an unbelievable amount of content out there to try out
There’s always so many cool things being made. Like that mod that recreates Super Mario 64’s movements and lets you play as Mario, or that physics mod
