I chose this one over the two minecraft clones because I've never played MC. I did come to Luanti/MT thanks to the TV ads for the big hollywood flick (which I won't watch) but Asuna seemed more fitting as something more MTish.
It's a large mod I believe but that's because it seems to have been very inclusive (everything but the kitchen sink ;- ) so it includes a dizzying variety of mods. A bit overwhelming at times but that's generally a good thing.
I started playing ( a few weeks ago only) on a server with a different set of mods so it's a new experience. I miss some of the server's mods (mithril/silver were fun, and some mod that added 4 extra bags to the inventory are both missed) but other choices are far superior (slimes are better than dealing with another monster mod that has "land guards" that kill with 2 hits!, and animalia is STUNNING compared to mobs_redo (I think was the name)).
Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad you're enjoying Asuna! The game really is bursting at the seams with mods and there are more to come in future content releases, but I do my best to ensure that the mods all work well together to create a beautiful and cohesive experience for players.
As for the features you're missing from the other server you mention, you should be able to add some of those features to Asuna with mods found right here on ContentDB:
- More Ores provides silver and mithril
- Unified Inventory overhauls the inventory UI and has a backpack feature
Thanks again for the review and I hope you continue to enjoy playing Asuna! I'm putting out a new content pack for Asuna soon and I'll be creating a public server after that, so stay tuned for even more to enjoy!
Just today I started experimenting with mods and I was wondering if one can add a mod to an already created world? From what I tried it looks like yes and no. For mods that affect map gen (Ethereal/Everness) I suspect they do nothing if added later while I did see that adding a inventory mod appears to take effect! So I'd guess More Ores can't be added in since the ores have been generated but the inventory one can. Incidentally I've found that I like i3 Inv. Mod even better. Suits my style to a T! Very organization and neatness oriented just like I am!
I'll be keeping an eye out for the Asuna server, definitely something I need to visit.
You are mostly correct about mapgen mods. You can add mapgen mods after a world is generated, but only new terrain that hasn't yet been generated will be affected. So you can add More Ores at any time, but you'll have to explore previously unexplored areas to find those ores.
As for Ethereal and Everness specifically, Asuna already bundles both of those mods, so your worlds should already have those biomes. And I've made adjustments to those mods to ensure that their biomes fit in with Asuna's mapgen, so it's even better than trying to add them in yourself. 🙂
