#Quilt Loader

[octal-codes]

Hi! I'm a Minecraft modder, and I can explain

You mentioned slimefun, which is a spigot plugin, so I'm assuming you're using a bukkit derivative

Bukkit and it's derivatives are *super old*, with the first CraftBukkit versions being in beta Minecraft.

Bukkit and derivative servers try to keep backwards compatibility with their APIs, so something you write on, say, 1.8, will likely run on recent versions

This causes an issue as Mojang makes more and more changes to Minecraft's codebase (1.13's "the flattening", 1.18's worldgen overhaul, etc)

So the maintainers of the server software need to choose between keeping compatibility with old plugins or removing broken APIs. Most of the time they choose the former.

This has lead to a very big compatibility gap and general instability that can cause problems if not treated carefully.

An ever-growing alternative to Bukkit derivatives is the server-side Fabric and Quilt ecosystems. (Henceforth referred to as "fabriquilt")

Fabriquilt has the advantage of being newer, so they've seen the issues with older mod/plugin systems and addressed them in some way, the biggest thing being the separation of Loader and API.

If Minecraft makes a change that breaks one of the APIs, it's much easier to change or outright remove that API than it is for Bukkit derivatives.

If you ever need any functionality that isn't provided by any current mod, there's always someone willing to take on a commission! (Including me, sometimes)

For those who don’t know, I am the technical admin for a Minecraft server. Now I have slightly above average skills with computers, but nothing to call home about, since computers generally act weird around me. That said I was the best equipped for it so me and @the-seelie-court-official started it up together, me for technical stuff and Dion for community stuff.

Now let me tell you about the Haunting on the Minecraft server.

One of the things I wanted to set up was NPC shop keeps. Now these shop keeps look like players, and I can code them to type in chat and to walk around, but they aren’t players. They aren’t counted in the server list, they only say the words I’ve given them. One of these Npcs was Herb, the Herbalist. They sold plants.

This was their skin, by the way.

Now one day herb stopped talking, this was odd so I tried to select them, like I had done so many times before, but it wouldn’t work. Whenever I tried I was met with error messages. I couldn’t select them, so I couldn’t delete them, I couldn’t move them, they had cut their strings and I the puppet master was forced to place an end portal beneath them and drop them into the void.

I thought this would be the last of it.

Fast forward a couple months and the server is up and running for public use. The players got into the end to find the end dragon missing, and upon building out to make an enderman farm we found herb. They were hovering, in the void. Easily accessible, I still couldn’t select them to change them or edit them so we just let them stay, floating above the yawning void that was meant to get rid of them.

Over time the server got more and more glitchy, chunks were being loaded by the thousand with only one or two people on at a time. After some serious sleuthing we (me and my team) found that the server recognized a ghost player. One that wasn’t listed when you pressed Tab, but was listed on the server side. The console of the server was filled with error messages almost constantly, cascading errors of Null, of Not Found despite the fact herb was right there.

Eventually it came to a head, the corn plants and slimefun crops went Wrong. Corrupted just like herb. And with fields of Steve heads staring back from what should be a farm we agreed that we would completely delete the world. The world that herb was in, that whole dimension. In hopes it would finally get rid of them.

We thought it worked, that we had finally be rid ourselves of this beast of my own creation. An hour later Herb Appeared at the world spawn. As if nothing had happened.

Finally I had to resort to burying them in a bedrock box directly under world spawn, because while I couldn’t move them I could break the blocks under them to make them fall. They sit down there trapped, vomiting error messages any time they are looked at or touched. Waiting for the chance to destroy what we have built.

its like i have a spidey sense about big game updates bc ive been getting minecraft urges but apparently 1.21 is out next week so there's like no point in me spending my now limited free time going through mod updates which i wasnt playing on the latest version anyways BUT part of the reason i wanted to play is the new wolves but my shaders arent updated for anything past 1.20.1 so i cant even go look at them.....

[j4gm]

Any Minecraft modder will tell you that there are a huge number of people who will bug you to update/backport your mods to obscure versions and loaders that nobody plays.

Well I told my boyfriend I was done updating the kiwi mod earlier and the FIRST thing he says is “are you gonna make a version for Quilt?” HE’S ONE OF THEM.

[stquilts]

I’m back for Round 2!

And I’m working on another quilt, this time it’s for my awesome cousin. I wanted to try some half square triangles but after much consideration, I decided to stick with rectangles and squares to practice cutting/sewing super straight and lining up corners. I might try a different method for basting… we’ll see.

I’m working with a precut again but this time it’s a layer cake (10” squares… comes in a pack of 42-ish.) both layer cakes are from Moda…. One is just solid black and the other is called Fruit Loop. It’s a bunch of fun fruit themed prints in bright colors. I’m not sure what I’m going to call this pattern. It may already have a name I’m unaware of. Kind of a modified 9-block. I’ll have enough to make 2 throw size quilts but one will need a border to get to the right size.

I think precuts are a great, beginner friendly way to approach quilting! You can do lots of different things with them it reduces the time spent cutting. If you can get them on sale, even better! Shout out to Green Fairy Quilts! They’re a small family-run business and have tons of precuts by Riley Blake and Moda at great prices. Takes a little longer for shipping but worth it, in my opinion.

I got about 10 blocks done and need 49 so I got a ways to go!

*FRUSTRATING FACT*

My new machine has a top-loading bobbin which I’ve never used before. While I like that it’s more user friendly and you can see when you’re running low on thread….. that fucker is a BEAR to clean. Old-school front loaders, you just clean the lint out when you’re changing the bobbin. Top-loaders? You can’t just clean while you’re changing the bobbin… no you have to get the bobbin case OUT and clean under it. That involves taking the needle plate off first and then the manual blatantly lies and says to just “lift the black bobbin case straight up and to the right to remove.” Yeah….. no. That doesn’t work. I watched 5 different YouTube videos on my machine and everyone just very easily and gracefully lifts that bastard out. Mine? I looked like a toddler trying to solve a Mensa puzzle. I finally had to call the shop I bought it at and hope they didn’t judge too harshly. Thankfully she didn’t and actually validated my struggle. She recommended loosening a couple screws (which I thought about but wasn’t sure that was a good idea or not). Still tricky to get it out/back in. Icing on the cake? After all that work, there was hardly any lint under there. 🤬🤬

You and Shoji have known each other since you were in UA, although you were in different classes. Shoji was in the hero course, and in Aizawa’s class, while you were in the support course with Mei Hatsume and Power Loader.

Shoji stopped by the support course classroom a handful of times with the excuse that he needed his mask repaired, but most of the time you could tell he was lying. “Shoji, I’ve already fixed it for you again last Wednesday. How did you manage to tear it again that quickly?” You responded jokingly.

“Well you know how hero training can be. Especially with Bakugo and Kirishima’s quirks. Not to mention Mina, Midoriya, Yaoyorozu-“ you cut him off, and shook your head.

“I get it. A lot can happen during hero training, but at this point I already know that you’re just using that as an excuse. You’re only saying your mask ripped again so you can just come back and talk to me. Aren’t you?”

With his mask covering his face, it was hard to tell, but you knew he was blushing.

Once the two of you graduated from UA, you saw less and less of each other, but tried to stay in contact as much as possible.

By the time you were in your early twenties, you were already a store owner, and had so many different things hanging up.

With your quirk, you had made countless blankets, quilts, clothes, and machines that filled your store. However, you never could’ve expected who would walk into your store, and would end up becoming your most frequent customer.

It was the middle of the afternoon, and you were in the back working and listening to your favorite song, Home by Edith Whiskers.

“Man, oh, man, you're my best friend, I scream it to the nothingness

There ain't nothing that I need

Well, hot and heavy pumpkin pie, chocolate candy, Jesus Christ

Ain't nothing please me more than you.”

You sang by quietly, no louder than a soft whisper.

“Oh, home, let me come home

Home is wherever I'm with you

Oh, home, let me come home

Home is wherever I'm with you.”

As you continued singing quietly, you didn’t hear the bell above the front door ring, so you didn’t know you had a customer. “Babe, you here?” Shoji called out, looking around all the different items you had laying around.

Since Shoji was a frequent customer, and your best friend, he was the only one allowed to go to the back room without you tagging along. Once he saw you, he noticed you were working on another quilt, and had your earbuds in, as well as quietly singing to yourself.

He smiled softly, and tapped you on the shoulder, now getting your attention. You turned around, and immediately stood up, and hugged him. “Hey! Long time no see, Octo-guy!!” You teased, as you playfully punched him in the arm.

“How’s my favorite customer been since last time I saw you?” He picked you up, and carried you to the main area of the store, and pointed to one of the quilts that were hanging up. “How much?” He asked, as he kissed your forehead before setting you down.

For my favorite, and most frequent customer, let me think.” You started getting your ladder to reach the quilt. “I would say about ¥100, but…it’s on the house. But, there is one thing you could pay me…if not the yen.” You said, coming down from the ladder, and winking at him.

His smile grew wider, once again he scooped you up in his arms, and this time brought you to the back room. He closed the door behind him, and set you on a table. He then took the quilt from your hands, and put it to the side.

As the two of you were having your moment, neither of you realized that someone had walked in the store.

After about 10-ish minutes or so, you finally heard the bell at your desk ring, indicating that you had a customer. You tried to push Shoji off of you, but he was too preoccupied to notice anything.

Without thinking, you yelled “customer! I have a customer, Mezo!” He suddenly stopped, and quickly got off of you, and helped you up. He then looked away apologetically, and mumbled a soft “sorry, babe.”

With his head hanging low, he walked over to the quilt, and started making his way towards the door. “You quickly ran to the door, and stopped Shoji from opening it. “I’m sorry, Tentacole! Please forgive me!” You said quickly, bowing apologetically.

Shoji looked up at you, and put his hand on your head. “No,” he began softly, lifting your head up. “I’m sorry. I should’ve realized what I was doing, as well as that you’re still at work. Forgive me, Princess.”

You froze at the rarely used name, and stated at him. Tears were stinging your eyes, but you didn’t care. You grabbed his hand, and walked out of the back room, and went to the main lobby.

The customer looked at the two of you in confusion, but quickly brushed it off as you asked them what you could help them with. “I’m here to pick up my quilt…that I ordered the week before last.”

“Tentacole, and Ms. Wilson, please follow me.” You said, as you led both of them to a corner next to the back room. “Tentacole, do you think you could reach up there for me, and get the quilt that’s got the mandala design on it?”

After Shoji got the quilt down, you had forgotten just how big and heavy you had made it, but with Shoji and yourself lifting it together, you could’ve sworn it felt like you were lifting a feather at that point.

“Thanks for the help, Octo-guy. I owe you one. And Ms. Wilson, if there’s anything else I can make for you, please let me know. Have a nice day, Ms. Wilson, and I’ll see you next time!” You said, as you waved goodbye to Ms. Wilson.

It's making me update my entire goddamn quilt 😐

Exploding this mod that would otherwise be perfect for my project but doesn't have a fabric or quilt port with my mind

[theoryfan205]

If you're having trouble with the curse mod manager and are on the java version you can install mods manually (it's easy when you get the hang of it).

Download your mod loader [forge, neoforge, fabric, or quilt] (i use neoforge)

Download the mods you want from curseforge or modrinth, making sure you get the correct ones for your modloader and minecraft version.

Drop the mods .jars into the mod folder at (for me on windows at least) user > [name] > appdata > roaming > .minecraft (bookmark or whatever its called for easy additions or troubleshooting). You may have to create the mod folder its been awhile since i set it up so i dont remember.

If you're like me download the library mods the other mods need to work that you forgot to get. It tells you which ones you need dont worry.

Enjoy

They won't auto update but as long as the updates are only minor things it shouldn't matter.

Oh, can get mods just fine, it's my curse forge that's the problem, it's an old version and I have no idea how to get a newer version that works for more mods, I just keep getting redirected to updating an app for curse forge, so I'm stuck with the 1.16 version, I even tried googling just how to install it in general to see if I could redo those steps and get a newer version, I don't remember the details of that because I'm fucking exhausted but I do remember that it got me nowhere

The new washing machine has a moon roof. In the left picture you're looking through it.

Hearing and seeing the clothes get clean -- it's aural and visual happiness. Front loaders have the window too, but I hate that style of washer.

The previous washer didn't have an agitator. Industrial machines at the laundromat have one, and my old washing machines decades ago, also had the central screw-like device. It makes my clothes cleaner, I'm sure of it. But not having an agitator means the machine can better hold bedding. And I do like to wash my quilts and comforters.

This new machine has a "Sometimes you feel like a nut / Sometimes you don't" flexibility. The agitator post is fuckin'-A removable! That's what you're seeing in the right picture.

After the delivery guys left I read the owners manual, then did three loads of laundry. I wasn't really far behind, but I sorted the clothes into three sections so I could try out different settings.

Finished a Minecraft project for my friends! It is a 1.19.3 Quilt loader instance for MultiMC, but all client-side mods that make it compatible with any vanilla server. It has a slew of bug fixes and performance optimizations, and UI / quality of life improvements to inventory and mapping that I just think make the game feel way smoother to play. To me the difference between it and completely out of the box Minecraft is night and day. Anyways I would be willing to share it if Tumblrs were interested. And also it's 1.19.3 because that happens to be the version my server plays on.

[guacomelon]

Getting to that point again where my laptop storage is full and I need to do some optimizing.

... So that's why I'm switching to Quilt loader istead of Forge for my personal Minecraft playthrough. I'll organize another, brighter day.

prism launcher should support mod subfolders

when quilt loader 0.18 released i sorted all my mods . then when i tried updating thru prism it was like “what mods?” i had to unsort all the mods worst day ever

[powerdust]

Yeah totally!

First, I’d highly recommend using a mod loader like the prism, Curseforge or modrinth apps.

I’ve found that prism has the least user-friendly interface, but it has the widest range of mods and modpacks.

Curseforge has the best community made modpacks, but some of the ad money goes to the IDF, which is probably something to take note of.

Modrinth is best for making your own modpacks.

If you’re making your own modpack, then you need to choose a modloader (I recommend forge or neoforge, just because they have the widest range of mods, otherwise, use quilt to run fabric mods, because the fabric devs are super transphobic)

Then some mods I personally can’t go without:

Jade: shows what you’re looking at, on fabric and forge

JEI, REI, or EMI: like a better recipe book, fabric and forge

Alex’s caves and Alex’s mobs: adds caves and mobs, forge only

Yungs better __: revamps structures, fabric and forge

Dungeons and taverns: adds new structures, fabric and forge

Create: adds mechanical stuff, fabric and forge

Farmers delight: adds food, fabric and forge

Quark: adds some miscellaneous minute features (turn off big stone clusters if you’re using create), forge only

Chipped: adds some new building blocks, fabric and forge

Mowzies mobs: adds some new bosses and stuff, only on Curseforge, forge only

Corpse: adds a corpse for you to gather your items from when you die.

Journeymap/ Xaeros minimap + Xaeros world map: adds a world map

does anyone know any good Minecraft mods stuff for a beginner aka me

[exeggcute]

trying to find a lightweight quilt for a king-sized bed is gonna put me in the fucking ground. like something not too bulky so it's not a pain in the ass to wash in a top-loader. might just give up and get like, a very thin blanket instead
