Always the signature cupcakes. Some things stay as they should.

Not mine, but the ever-present cupcake is the Bonnie signature item.

ChatGPT knows!

Which is not suprising since its practically reading from forums.
I will post more in the discord server. Try it yourselves, it even lists builds and players.

Good old ChatGPT

"Since 2014" -> OP clearly states 2013, but ChatGPT seems be going off of the forum thread start date.
"KPG Mobs" -> I had to look this one up. It seems to be the predecessor of Mobs Redo, which almost certainly what it's actually running in 2025. ChatGPT probably found it mentioned somewhere in the 169 pages of this thread. And .. you know.. it's already present earlier in the list.

The mods for some servers are listed on https://servers.luanti.org/ - it depends on whether the server publishes the mod list to the server list. And you can usually check in-game with /mods, excepting some servers that disable that command...

ChatGPT is great for quick answers and all, but don't be surprised if it isn't 100% accurate.

- Lucky blocks a-plenty have been added.
- New mob api and mob tweaks so wild animals can attack when unprovoked.
- Mob repellent blocks can now be crafted.

I wrote a mod that converted any node into a set of pillar nodes with recipes, retaining all their properties, and then completely forgot I had written it until I found this screenshot. The Xanadu connection is the Public Mine, I guess.

Did dragons get added lately? Saw one for the first time and it, uh, et me. Guess I gotta respect them. But... I will be avenged. :)

[TenPlus1]

The redstone biomes have mini dragons flying around and they do pack a punch, but can be defeated if you have good armor :)

Thought I knew all the ethereal types but redstone is new to me unless you mean desert stone? Or Fiery Grass?

I met two dragons in a building that when I went back had a sign saying it was designed to spawn them... :) I guess I didn't read the signs...

As for armour I'm working on a full nether set. Lesse that's 31*81 rack to mine... <grin> Well I already have a helmet IIRC. Still kinda figuring out Xanadu's metal hierarchy. Mithril < Crystal < Nether I think is what it probably is. Since draggy's fly I also think mesewing boots are probably ideal. Love those. I really hate falling to death thanks to skyblock... (that should never have been my first MT game experience ugh)

[TenPlus1]

Oops I meant red stone, the desert stone you mentioned :) that's their natural habitat other than arena spawners...

As for armor, wood < cactus < stone < gold < steel < diamond < nether < crystal and certain pieces have special abilities like speed, jump, mese boots feather falling and crystal fire protection :) To mine more rack use a rack pick :P

Oooh desert stone always seemed so pretty. Now I must fear red dragyns there... oh dear. ;)

I did remember reading that nether picks are customized to wear less vs nether so I already made one. My poor crystal pick was wearing away like butter on asphalt... :) My Lev 10 Mith Pick is just as good but I guess I gotta let the neth get there too.

I've been trying on various armours like a fashion diva (heh) and the numbers shown at least seem to give nether the edge over crystal due to the healing (I think it was). Both have same fire res. & absorption. But yes Crystal gives physics boosts which I'd overlooked. But since I have the mesewingboots (OMG I LOVE them so much <blush>) I can't say I miss crystal's bonuses at all. (BTW "stone" armour? Bronze you mean I'm sure <g> & bronze beats steel due to heals I think)

Of course, More Ores and Ethereal are different mods. But when you have both, the Crystal Pickaxe feels like a trap compared to Mithril. Actually, I'm not sure it's even better than diamond or mese, unless there was some special effect like the one on the Crystal Shovel that was added.

[TenPlus1]

Had to re-check the levels but yes, crystal pick is definitely better than diamond and mithril :P

[MXB]

Actually we should clarify what better means for a pick. It could mean faster, more durable (my choice), higher level drops (not sure what that means TBH), higher ability to break tough nodes, more damage, faster swing reset. Heh, in short all the stuff you see when you peek at the files...

I have seen a server (Moonlight Falls) that uses ethereal and has modded the crystal tools to ALL have "silk touch". It was most weird to use my crys sword to take a torch hanging from the side of a wall and get a "diagonal" torch in my inv. The pick works like a "ore saw" from some other mod & digs the ores blocks. On Xanadu my void pick does that. Still wondering what that crys axe might do on trees.

Quiet night here in the Xanadu server. Jan 4, 2026 at 3:13ZULU time, or 8:13pm Mountain Time in the US. Just me and quiet. I'm off to play some Minecraft. (Yeah, I spent the 25 bucks for the Minecraft game).
