Levviata's Parasite Outbreak

# PROJECT IS ABANDONED, SORRY! ## Levviata's Parasite Outbreak Originally based on ForgeLab's Parasite Outbreak, this modpack aims to be a "more fleshed-out" approach to ForgeLab's entry while generally keeping the original concept, "better" performance (subjective), and "less" bloat (also subjective) _((https://github.com/Levviata/LevviatasParasiteOutbreak1.12.2/issues))_ <details> <summary>Issues fixed or improved on:</summary> I do believe ForgeLab's pack has a variety of issues that needed to be worked on, so I did just that, list of what I generally did to "fix" it (subjective) - Balancing Issues := Usage of Reskillable mod to have a rough control of progression, tweaked recipes, and a variety of gameplay-focused changes to improve playability - Performance := Added Radk6's performance mod list, support for (https://github.com/CleanroomMC/Cleanroom), and GREATLY improved world generation by the usage of Recurrent Complex to replace the mod gen of almost all of the included mods, expect far far better performance. - Outdated Mods := Updated a variety of mods and fixed compatibility issues down the road. - Lack of an Issue Tracker := Uses GitHub for issue tracking. - Lack of QoL := Added a variety of custom recipes, zenscripts, and mods (along with some own-made mods) to improve playability. - Old Look := While not an issue I have recommended below (refer to the 'Requirements' section) the best options for a more modern look if you are into that. </details> <details> <summary>Note:</summary> Starting in May 2023, this was a project I had in mind after I saw ForgeLab's "100 Days in a Parasite Outbreak" video, and yes, this pack has a complete quest system in mind. </details> ## Features - Hbm's Nuclear Tech Mod - Quests (Barely done) - Mekanism: Community edition - NO tinker's construct - Skill locks on everything using Reskillable - A few own-made mods for this mod pack exactly (and also some modified) - New textures - The Hordes (self-explanatory) - Open Modular Turrets - No nether :) - Popular Recurrent Complex buildings/structures hotfix to have treasures in them - QoL recipes and changes (NOTE: This modpack is a big big w.i.p, major gameplay loops or objectives may be broken) ## Requirements You will need: - More than 4 GB of RAM (ideal amount is 6 to 8 GBs); - A GPU + CPU from the year 2010 or above (rough baseline); - 4 GBs of RAM allocated in Minecraft. - Forge or Cleanroom (1.12.2 focused Forge fork) mod launcher <details> <summary>What is Cleanroom?</summary> Cleanroom is, in simple words, a new Forge fork that makes 1.12.2 work with Java 21 (ooo shiny new) instead of Java 8 (boo old java!) which in general is a big improvement in performance, security, and a lot more (AFAIK) I recommend using Cleanroom with (https://www.graalvm.org/downloads/) as its the (https://github.com/Radk6/MC-Optimization-Guide/blob/85fe6cf2c438b2c2ecc6c9cd103d064db3a06186/java-n-stuff/java-things.md) </details> OPTIFINE IS NOT SUPPORTED, THERE ARE MODS IN PLACE TO (somewhat) REPLACE ITS FUNCTIONALITY. (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/texture-packs/converter) is a good resource pack that I recommend if you are searching for a more modern look. (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/nothirium) is another recommended optimization mod that improves chunk generation, and should work well with this mod pack. <details> <summary>My specs for reference:</summary> > System Type x64-based PC > > Processor AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor, 3600 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s) > > Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB > > Total Physical Memory 15.9 GB > > GPU Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 RAM allocated in Minecraft is 4GB. </details> ## Bugs Levviata's Ores' axes crash the game when right/left clicking some blocks Trying to break a Lootr chest on creative seems to crash the game Random crashes are somewhat expected, please report them to the (https://github.com/Levviata/LevviatasParasiteOutbreak1.12.2/issues) </details> <details> <summary>Archive:</summary> ~~(https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fogger) does not render properly in survival mode effectively making the mod useless, instead I opted for (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fog-tweaker).~~ ~~Spider 2.0 causes AI-less skeletons to appear randomly in the world, thanks for (https://www.reddit.com/user/PhantomishHawk/) for pointing this out on (https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/mmhfvj/bug_skeletons_with_no_ai_are_spawning_all_over_im/).~~ SHADERS DO NOT WORK; this is a known issue of Optifine with this modpack, no current or future fix planned.
