A Pirate's Life For Me!

Hello all.

I am pleased to announce the availability of the June Flavor for Little Brother!
This is based off Invisi's "Pirates of the Sky and Sea" mod proposal, which features a whole bunch of pirate and technical mods that are bound to lend a "steampunk" edge to your swash-buckling adventures!  :D
It also features some of the mods used in some of the latest Minecraft series, so if you've ever wanted to make your own personal Hambone base, or go off hand-gliding across the entire map, well now you can!  XD



Here are the details of this month's flavor:
  • This is reverting back to Minecraft 1.6.4, given that half the mods were still not available for 1.7.2.  
  • Tinker's Construct, Archimedes Ships, Bibliocraft, OpenMods and Koadmaster's Pirates are our primary feature mods.
  • The map is an original vanilla world auto-generated by the server
  • AudreyAwesome, InvisibleDragon and Lizeli9 are the sole moderators, with the empty monthly mod position defaulting to Squirrel.
  • Difficulty is set to "Hard Mode" to ensure some kind of challenge.  ;)

For Installation:

  1. Create a new Little Brother profile in your launcher and have it set to Minecraft 1.6.4 -- run the game at least once to download the necessary Version files.
  2. Download Forge Installer v9.11.1 for Minecraft v1.6.4 and run the installer.
  3. Back in the Little Brother profile, set the Game Directory to a new folder of your choice and the Use Version to the new Forge for 1.6.4, and run the game.  This will allow game files (including the /mods folder) for this Little Brother profile to be created in a separate folder, thus eliminating the risk of overwriting your standard Big Sister files in the main Minecraft directory.

  4. Download Archimede's Ships for Minecraft 1.6.4:

  5. Download Tinkers' Construct 1.5.5.7 for Minecraft 1.6.4:

  9. Copy all the mods listed above to your /mods folder inside the custom folder you specified in the Little Brother profile's Game Directory.  In the end your /mods folder should look something like this:

  10. Load the game using the Little Brother profile, add littlebrother.mcserver.ws into your Multiplayer list, and enjoy!

Good luck and have fun!
An' go look 'fer buried treasure!
