Musketeer Beta Feedback Megathread

Snazz

I mentioned this bug in the alpha testing channel, but I'll say it here again. Quark's dispenser placing should have a blacklist on the three types of berries as players are unable to place berries directly. Instead they should be placing the berry pips.

Surprisingly really fun of a modpack! I've played a small bit and I have a lot of fun gaining resources and creating pathways to villages a lot! Although I do think the pack could be more interesting with some extra stuff.
I personally believe it could be beneficial to add Environmental for some other alternate armor pieces, as the traveler's set and yak pants could help players with exploration and road travel. The slabfish being another storage option for players to have is also really nice.
I also feel that Buzzier Bees could help integrate more of a reason for players to use bees for building and food outside of waxing copper blocks and making honey blocks/bottles. It could help make the bee keeping aspect of the game a lot as there isn't much to play with right now.
Lastly I believe it would be nice to have some content from Supplementaries not be disabled. These being the bubble blower, soap, candle holders and the flute. I think these items could help have some more fun items for players to use. Soap and the bubble blower could help give ash more uses or maybe you could also re-add ash bricks (though I don't see that with Clayworks being in the pack). Candle holders are already obtainable through some of the sign post structures so maybe make them craftable at the very least? And the flute could help with pet utility and just a silly fun item in multiplayer.
This isn't trying to be a statement to add more abnormals mods to the pack. Personally if all of them were in this pack then it would just feel like Crucial 2 but without the Nether or End, and I don't want that. I just feel like it would be neat to have those two mods in and re-enable those items to add some spice of content and let there be some extra variation within the tool and armor selection of the pack. Musketeer is honestly really good as is too so even if you didn't want to add these, I'd still give it a fair thumbs up!

I've had a hoot hosting this as a server with my friends! There was a bit of a hurdle for them not having coordinates, so most of the other players have installed a minimap mod on top of the pack. I understand it may be an accessibility thing; and adding something like Antique Atlas would alleviate it - but that mod isn't available for 1.19.2 at the time of writing this.

The only addition I've been rattling about in my head is that villages should have a Lodestone generate in their main central bell/well/etc. structure. This would tie further in with buffing vanilla navigation tools, as well as placing more importance on Villages alongside the villager comfort mod. I suggested this on the Discord server a while back, but it seems worth mentioning again here.

TerraKnight

this may not fit the pack, but i'm suggesting it anyways: Copperative is a fairly recent mod that expands the use of copper, made by the same team as Windswept
i'll just list off the features here

there's lots of new copper building blocks, making copper better as a "building metal"
every redstone component that uses stone or cobble now uses copper instead, this has quark and supplementaries compatibility and is configurable per component
you get patina by scraping oxidized copper, which can be placed back onto copper or used to craft prismarine
holding honeycomb will show all waxed copper blocks (idk if this works with waxed corundum)

personal suggestion: you could only enable the redstone component changes for modded stuff, as to not mess with vanilla content (obviously up to you)

quat

it's good modpack

Good question. What about some way to make food more interesting? I find vanilla Minecraft's food mechanics to be very lacking. I don't want to suggest any solutions necessarily, but the Vanilla- nature of this pack allows unique food effects an actual practical use, unlike many other modpacks where food is not powerful enough to make any substantial difference other than distracting the player from focusing on other progress.

A small group of myself and some friends loved the idea of this mod pack and played for a considerable amount of time and honestly there weren't very many issues we felt detracted from the mod pack. One of those issues was inventory. The lack of block compression made transporting large amounts of basic materials such as sand and terracotta in far off locations a hassle. Another issue was the usage of maps. Trying to navigate to a location using multiple maps or trying to navigate to closer locations without filling the area with lodestones and a chest with compasses didn't feel the greatest. I think Musketeer could benefit greatly from using Map Atlases. I believe that the addition of a physical atlas that can hold maps of immediate and distant areas would be a great addition while sticking to the core of Musketeer.

vazkii

pyrxtic I don't believe Map Atlases was available for 1.19 when I was making the pack, but seeing that Matteo and team gave it a revamp since is fantastic, I'll definitely include it.

I found a bug: you can get phantom membrane from the brewing stands in yungs better witch huts. It says it disabled in red text so I assume this isn’t intentional.

pyrxtic

I've been talking with the friends that I played Musketeer with and they brought up an aspect of our playthrough that I had completely forgotten about. Is there any way of make a separate item to find Ancient Cities or Strongholds? During our playthrough we couldn't find any way of actually finding the stronghold through normal, legit ways.

vazkii

pyrxtic Ancient Cities can be found with the renamed Eye of Ender. Strongholds don't have any locating item, but they also have no relevant important content.

fraZ0R_but_also_not

vazkii I consider endermosh discs to be important content

Anyways, I would really like to see tipped arrows as well as maybe lingering potions be craftable in this, tipped arrows are sort of kind of obtainable through villager trades, but i'm pretty sure they don't give every effect and I would like alternative methods for obtaining.
Maybe tipped arrows could be changed to be crafted with splash potions instead of lingering? Maybe lingering potions could have a different recipe that doesn't use dragon's breath? I feel like lingering potions mainly aren't used solely because of how they are restricted to endgame, having a pack where you can get them readily early would be interesting.

boderless window mod

LeoBeliik

Gotta recommend Packages it seems a better option than Storage Drawers IMO

GameGuruGreenGryphon

LeoBeliik Also solves(?) some of the storage issues regarding the mod without it being shulker box levels of nutty

I'm liking the pack so far, having messed around with it for a bit.

Two small things: smelting cacti in the Clayworks Kiln still gives 1XP per rather than the nerfed 0.1, and the EMI info tab for the compass still references the Nether and End despite not existing in Musketeer.

LeoBeliik

I suggest adding bricks variants to the menu, like stone -> stone bricks, since bricks recipes is 1 to 1 (4 blocks give 4 bricks)

LeoBeliik

Blocks with variants that don't show in the menu

snow blocks (it uses snow carpet instead)
purpur bricks
cracked stone bricks (miss vslab)
red and brown mushroom block
block of amethyst
terracotta (miss walls and vslab)
stripped bamboo block (miss post)

Blocks that need a recipe

polished mushroom stair
chiseled bricks (claywork)
chiseled terracotta bricks (claywork - all colors)

Endstone varians appear in jei (absent by design)
Encased pipes have bad render (ctm)
Glass item frame don't render in world when no item is in them (ctm)
Boards (windsweep) could be in the varians menu

LeoBeliik

Bamboo (item) has fence and fence-gate variants, I assume this is not intended since placing the bamboo plants it instead of placing the variants, if you hold sneak the variants place only some of the time
