Mod released to play old mods on newer versions

Mod released to play old mods on newer versions

Scoping out the latest mod updates, I encountered this new mod called Retromod that claims to let you run old mods on new versions by 'rewriting them' to work on new versions. Mod porting is usually a pretty long process as far as I understand it, how is this possible?

They're didn't outright say its AI, but did acknowledge that part of the mod is AI-written and there's a claude dev file in the github.

update on my funny modpack concept

introducing..... packpack!!!!!!! (work in progress everything)

The entire premise of the pack is to upgrade The Pack, a backpack (woahhh) with teeny tiny space to start with but you use tech and magic and Stuff to upgrade it over time to have more space and more functions and more POWER!!!!!!!

TECH MODS:
PROBABLY CREATE!!!
PROBABLY IMMERSIVE ENGINEERING!!!
NOT ANY STORAGE MODS!!! we use the BACKPACK!!! there will be NO certus quartz here!!!

MAGIC MODS:
WHO FUCKING KNOWS!! I DONT PLAY MAGIC MODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

introducing HARD MODE: it's the exact same but RED EYE BARRY SPAWNS SOMETIMES!!!!

leave suggestions down below!!! maybe ill make a DISCORD for it!!!!!

will this subreddit die in a week

lowkey im kinda itching for a place to discuss minecraft mods that isn't completely overrun with people whining about minecraft version ports and "i vibecoded a thing" posts ... i've just been chilling in discords instead of checking reddit ftb these days, reddit ftb is just depressing, and has been for a long time now even before mr.mod went on that ai tirade

maybe im a boomer shaking a stick at a cloud but i member when people posted "the things they built in minecraft" onto ftb instead of just endlessly asking for "is there a mod like X for 1.Y" or "modpack recommend????" allll day long day in and day out 🫠🫠.. anyway

this will be minecraft graphics in 1996

this is running on a real N64 engine that I've started working on.

It's not meant to actually do anything like minecraft but I decided to screw around with it since I have a pretty good entity + time of day system.

I have better images now but it wont let me add them in :(

i want to make a modpack. give me suggestions for it

i think itd be funny

i dont really care what version but im most familiar with 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 mods so like. yeah. itd probably be a simple thing with some kubeJS and ftb quest stuff as per usual. tell me what you guys wanna see in a pack

secondly, should i make a discord for it? im thinking of either naming it MudPack (after myself) or PackPack (after the central mechanic of backpacks lmao)

Factory showcase

https://youtu.be/deOh9GmdXqk

This is my Immersive Engineering creative world factory as a proof of my slow and steady descent into madness over the last couple of weeks. Bonus broken english and slow typing for the true connoisseurs out there. Feel free to watch at 2 times speed.

r/feedthebeast is now actively removing comments pointing out AI

I'm not yet sure what posts are allowed or not on this sub, if this post isn't, feel free to remove it, posting it just in case somebody wanted another reason to hate it

The comment that was removed here was not toxic, nor inflammatory, the comment was being disappointed that the icon was ai generated. If it was toxic, then it would be a BIG stretch to call it that. Sadly I don't have a screenshot of that comment, but Here's the reply to it. Notice no automod reply stating the reason.

By doing so, they not only removed the comment that wasn't breaking the rules, they have also practically suppressed a reply pointing out that it's ambiguity meant that could be also fully AI generated.

In other news, grass is green and sky is blue.

how the AI mod malware situation makes me feel

posting here bc idk if I'll get banned under the main sub's new rules

To explain the situation rq, there is a growing AI spam (and now malware) problem that I'm pretty sure most of the community is massively against, but nothing is being done for.

This is because moderator of the sub is pretending that everyone wants a blanket ban on AI, even though they've acknowledged my post, which just asks that AI is properly disclosed among a few other important things.

not only is r/feedthebeast becoming more filled with AI slop, but the scope of these mods is getting to the point where some were literally injecting arbitrary DLLs into a management process to edit your game's memory.

And while I got modrinth to ban this mod in the end, 600+ people still downloaded that mod, and the ones who talked about it had their worlds irreversibly corrupted by it.

So...

My warning is basically this:

There was a never guarantee that a mod was actually safe to run before, but now the amount of mods which break things, or even act like malware is increasing drastically. Please be careful downloading mods from people who seem off, or at least wait for a depressed girly to go decompile it for you.

hewwo silly frens, here is my obligatory self promotion- i mean err, contribution

here’s some dev screenshots of the in-progress and still-unnamed requiem 1.12 update. “what is requiem,” you may ask? it’s this mod I made, took around a little under 3 years, and adds just shy of 1000 blocks/items. you can find it here :3

https://modrinth.com/mod/requiem-antiquorum

I will say, it’s not for everyone, mostly cause it’s for 1.7.10. I wasn’t even planning to ever release it when I started, but it’s here anyways. it is serious though, has an extremely in depth progression line, tons of lore, and most importantly, stargates (and other stargate-y stuff too owo).

1.12 will be coming out uh, at some point. maybe the mysterious portal caught your eye. that will be in the update. if there’s any demand for it i’ll follow up with progress or whatever, I dunno, requiem goes largely unnoticed w

sorry i don’t have much to share but i want to see this place grow

have some funny screenshots from over the years, hope to collect many many more

Google has disclosed several unique types of Vibecoded malware exploited in the wild.

Source: https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/ai-vulnerability-exploitation-initial-access/

Google has confirmed AI is now being used to produce various types of malware targeting various (including open-source) applications. And that the process eliminates barriers "[...] that would previously have required significant manual effort."

In their own words, AI is making the production of malware significantly easier.

what is this and how do i get rid of it?!?!?!

does a potion of regeneration help me forget?

u/emmowo_dev — 12 days ago

Ask questions about this!

Since we have a couple hundred members already, you guys might want more clarification on some stuff (like what's allowed), so lmk if you have any questions. There might not be much to ask considering the point of this sub tho.

Why is the sub title "Vanilla Terraria"

Title? What is this thing? Is this the Terraria Subreddit? Hello? Can anyone hear me? ChatGPT please help!

weird black thaumcraft thing spawned and is breaking blocks what do i do?

unjoke for a second: If you do want this sub to be a serious replacement though I recommend adding a "help" flair.
