@Patrick6763 There's no need for that. In fact, you probably want to keep your copper tools at least until you make better ones rather than shimmering them. To start, do you see the first picture on this page? Also, the same info is in the tooltip of the Skyblock if you check Recipe Browser... fourth picture. With the shimmer start, you should be able to get set up for NPCs and fishing fairly early on. The fastest method would still involve killing a boss, but fishing without facing a boss first is still doable with shimmer.

how do you proceed to get blocks with shimmer if i have no room to place shimmer to shimmer my copper tools

FYI, the Lihzahrd Furnace is craftable now.

Hmm, that would probably create a conflict of progression. Calamity also has QoL recipes that I'd probably want to tweak.

The Minecraft mod pack is Authentic Skies Create. Just released in public beta on Curseforge. Went live yesterday. Haven't even done the public announcement yet.

Fargo's actually adds QoL recipes for almost everything you need on skyblock for a complete run from zero to all bosses cleared. the _only_ thing that was unobtainable is the lihzahrd furnace. That's why I mentioned that I might make a comment on its workshop page.
Fargo's souls mod's focus is essentially a gigantic crafting tree resulting in one item, intended as a sort of way to collect the power of every aspect of terraria into that item bit-by-bit along normal progression. All content it adds is derived from vanilla items or NPCs or spawns in vanilla biomes; I don't think it adds any worldgen.

I'll be following your minecraft modpack :)

At some point I do want to try adding compatibility for Calamity, which is a hefty undertaking with how much that mod changes. I haven't played Fargo's. If I had a full list of required items for it's recipes and a list of anything it adds to world generation, then I'd do that at the same time. At the moment though, I'm bogged down making a minecraft pack.

I wrote that comment because the lihzahrd furnace is the only crafting station required for the fargo's souls mod's Crucible of the Cosmos that can't be shimmered, crafted or dropped as loot. I suppose I should also make a comment on fargo's souls mod for this

@Neco-Arc. That's fair since it unlocks a lot of decor options with one item, but it is the start of the slippery slope of creating sources for the ridiculously high amount of decorative items in the game that can only be acquired by finding them in world generation.

a way to get the lihzahrd furnace would be neat

No, I was thinking of that and I still think this is best. The game generally doesn't give food drops very frequently from anything. I don't want drop rates to be too large a factor for eating. Also, I like clean inventories, so using an ingredient you're already flooded with seemed like a good idea. Playing Zenith is already a mad dash to farm mobs in deeper layers, so now add food as a motivation to do it quickly. Granted, I haven't timed starvation vs block mining and mob farming. I could be painfully wrong.

At the point I am right now, it's all good. However, since it's made out of slime, it's not usable at the start of the game in the zenith seed, given than you spawn in the sky with only night monsters spawning.

@Unlighted Update done. I would have had it done a week ago, but my computer broke. I decided to add custom food after all. It's clearly worthless in normal play, but let me know if it spoils the hunger aspect of the Constant too easily.

I suggest making zombies drop mushrooms on death.

... Good point. Off the top of my head, best answer I can figure is to either modify a food drop rate from a common mob or add a recipe for a dish from mob drops. Just an FYI, you can play Zenith without the hunger effects if you use TEdit on the world to untoggle only the constant.

I want a way to stop dying from hunger on a constant/zenith seed.

@thijs, either choose the easy skyblock progression option or wait until it's dropped by "royalty" as it says in the tooltip on the fake shimmer item I added. What do I mean fake? I added all the liquids as items that do nothing and can't be gotten so that I could add tooltip hints to them and use the icons more easily in the Tips page of the guidebook.

how do i get shimmer

oh, I actually deleted that second comment I said because I saw that redigit was interesting in adding vanilla skyblock support, and with that I imagine the big content mods will add in their own ways to create their biomes from nothing. that, and... I dunno, asking mod A to support unrelated mod B feels a bit out of scope?

I did realize the sunken sea is available with current constraints once you beat queen slime: make tesla potions with blood orbs, shimmer em, and use the sea prisms to build the sunken sea. I didn't see any such route for the brimstone crag though, and anything related to the labs is completely off limits, including the exo mechs. I figure that'll be addressed in calamity itself when vanilla skyblock drops, and in the meantime i can just cheat in some brimstone slag and the lab schematics when i'm at the point to fight the brimstone elemental/exo mechs.

@crimes duck The mod is already designed so that you don't need any of the starting items. It's the "hidden" "no mode" choice. Without Calamity installed. It means no fishing until some point in early hardmode. That said, I do need to add support for Calamity. I would not be factoring in the early progression changes, just adding means to get things that aren't available in Calamity in a skyblock world. I don't have enough detailed knowledge of the mod yet though.

hey, fun fact: if you run this with calamity, you don't need *any* of the starting items! rather than going through the jungle to get the furnace so you can smelt demonite bars to get stone, you can instead kill the hive mind/perforators to get premade demonite/crimtane bars, kill the eater of worlds/brain of cthulhu to get the shadow scales/tissue samples you need, make your hammer, get your stone, and *then* get your furnace!

so with that in mind, you should totally check if calamity is loaded and make the brutal option give you Literally Nothing if it is :)

@EsiMax Mushroom seeds are shimmered from jungle seeds. There is a drop well before moonlord for getting shimmer. Check recipe browser for a hint. There's a vanilla method adding in 1.4.4 for making a jungle. However, the mod adds a recipe for jungle seeds using the same items as the method to make it more clear. You did bring to my attention though, that I forgot to make the recipe use a recipe group. I just did an update to add "any" to the recipe so it works with crimson seeds as well as corruption seeds. I'd been looking for an excuse to do an update anyway so I could make the hardest tip to figure out slightly more obvious.

How should i get jungle or mushroom seed????

yup, the loot is the variety of clouds, coins, or literally nothing. I wanted blocks to be available at the start, but I didn't want the skyblock itself to be a better source of blocks than any of the other methods in the game. Hopefully it's slow enough to make you want to only mine the minimum to start farming mobs, but fast enough to not make you want to set something heavy on your mouse and walk away.

Very early into the mod but about 20% of the time when I mine the skyblock, no item comes out. I assume this is to increase the grindiness of the mod, but I do hear the item pickup SFX , just no popup text or item in my inventory. Is this working as intended?
So far I've only gotten clouds, rain clouds, snow clouds, and copper coins out of the block.

@Paperweightt_ No doubt. Hopefully it'll happen at some point. Until then, just jump in the discord and bug us for help. Some of the pins might also solve some problems.

bro i need a guide for this

I only just "finished" it. I'm about to try it out right now and see if it all works together. I'll go ahead and edit the link into the description.

where can i find the modpack?
