Livin' La Vida Loca

Hello all!

Well TerraFormaCraft ended up being a roaring success... for about a week and a half. After which interested thinned out once it became apparent that a) clay was very hard to get, b) metallurgy is HARD (>v<), c) the extra food is more tedious than fun, d) THOSE DAMN SPIDERS!!, and e) the entire world looks the same.  I think that really wasn't what I was expecting, so let's not do that again... XD

Anyway, perhaps it's time to return to our roots?  After all, we now have lots of new players who've never known about last year's flavors, and it's not right for them to miss out on some old fun.  So this month, we're reviving a bit of the Stayin' Alive flavor from April 2014... ^^

We'll see the return of fan-favorite Minecraft Comes Alive, as well as my personal favorite of Mo' Creatures (yay, elephants!); a new and improved Mo' Villages also makes a return, serving as a great compliment to MCA.  CustomNPCs couldn't make it this time since it really isn't enjoyable for non-opped players -- sorry ol' friend, maybe next time. ^^

But NEW to this month's flavor are the additions of the fun Morph mod so you can transform into your favorite mob or animal (YAY! ELEPHANTS!!), Mr. Cray's Furniture Mod (to make MCA more "Sims"-like), and a new exciting addition to Little Brother... the Chocolate Quest mod (for dungeon-exploring, volcano-sieging, swash-buckling adventure)!!! I don't even think I can post a picture of chocolate in such an action-packed light, but... I'll try... XD

Well not quite the same, but that's still a pretty fun movie to watch. >v<

So anyway, I'm pleased to officially announce a whole collection of fun mods for the July Flavor of Little Brother!

Here are the details of this month's flavor:

• This is using Minecraft 1.7.10, and Forge 10.13.2.1291.
• We will have a collection of various mods in this release, specifically: Minecraft Comes Alive, Mo' Creatures, Mo' Villages, Morph Mod, Cray's Furniture mod and Chocolate Quest.
• The map is vanilla-generated.
• Flammole and InvisibleDragon continue to be the permanent moderators.  
• HannahShy will assume the role of Monthly Moderator for this month.
• Difficulty is set to "Hard Mode" to see some of the finer Mo' Creatures critters.  :)
• A Dynmap is employed with this flavor, although it is using an Alpha build so block fidelity may not be perfect.

For Installation:

1. Create a new Little Brother profile in your launcher and have it set to Minecraft 1.7.10 -- run the game at least once to download the necessary Version files.
2. Download Forge 10.13.2.1291 for Minecraft v1.7.10 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 1.7.10, 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.
