Shadows of Aethro

Hey folks—sorry for the silence lately. I had to go "dark" to handle some family matters and finish out my day job. Now that things have stabilized, I’m back in action. I've been busy moving the website over to support my 24-year passion project (the online game), but don't worry—the SoA modpack isn't being changed to "fit" the new game. However, it is getting a massive face-lift this weekend. What’s happening Sunday: This is a major update. We’re looking at updates to almost 26 different mods.

🎉 BIG UPDATE DAY on Shadows of Aethro! 🎉 Alright folks, buckle up — the update train has arrived and it’s loaded with chaos, fixes, and a few broken dreams. Here’s what’s new: 🧙‍♂️ JEI → EMI Swap! JEI has been replaced with EMI because EMI’s lighter, faster, and doesn’t scream when it loads. If you really miss JEI, fine. Go reinstall it yourself. 💧 AlltheLeaks Got its act together — fewer crashes, fewer memory leaks. Basically, it’s now less of a fire hazard. 📜 Amendments, Balm, BlockUI, Chat

Time for another round of chaos and questionable coding decisions! 🧩 New Mods Added Crafting Tweaks Adds buttons to rotate, clear, and balance your crafting grids. Perfect for lazy crafters who call it “efficiency.” Emojiful Chat now supports actual emojis. Yes, you can cry-laugh at your colony burning down. 😂🔥 🔧 Updated Mods Mob Loot Bags Completely recoded from the ground up. This should fix the warden issue. Should. If one still spawns, consider it an unscheduled boss fight. MineColoni

The devs have been busy poking at things they probably shouldn’t, and somehow it worked. ⚔️ War N Taxes v3.26 Raid History got a glow-up — it now actually remembers who bonked who! Also patched the Tax GUI so you can see how broke you are in style, and fixed the WebAPI so it stops screaming internally. 🔧 Other Mods Got a Spa Day Too: Applied Energistics 2 (less crashy, more flashy) Byzantine Styles (ancient bling) MineColonies Compatibility Addon (because teamwork makes the lag work) Cyclop
