Chapter 26: New Mods

Ned was addicted to playing Skyblock. Initially he thought it would just be a fun little mini-game, like hunger games or build battle, but he was very wrong about that.

The grinding and farm system in Skyblock was addictive! The more you played, the more you evolved and the more things you could do in the game! If before he thought Minecraft Vanilla had no limits, he had to admit that Skyblock further broke limits he hadn't even realized existed.

It had been a week since he killed Ender Dragon, and after that several other people also killed the dragon and were able to start playing Skyblock. It made this game mode kind of a VIP feel, as if because only people who killed Ender Dragon can play, it has become a mini-game that only elites meet.

Ned's livestream was still known as the largest Minecraft livestream in the world, even though other streamers emerged, Ned was the only one who kept an average of over 10,000 watching, and during peak hours that number even tripled.

So even though the vast majority of players couldn't play Skyblock, they could still watch Ned play and see what it's like.

"Maybe I should do a potato farm? I think this could make me a lot of money..." Ned told the chat.

[That! ]

[Potatoes for victory! ]

[Make the kingdom of potatoes! ]

[Death to pigs! ]

But suddenly, a window appeared floating in front of Ned.

[A big new update has arrived in Minecraft. Visit the game's official page, or Launcher for more details. ]

Ned was surprised, this was the first time a message like this came up, before it just said it had an update and players had to restart the game, but this time it seems like it had more explanation?

"Guys, I'm going to disconnect from the game and share my computer screen so you can see this news with me." Ned said as he disconnected from Minecraft.

Within seconds his awareness returned to his own body and he focused his vision on the computer monitor.

[Two new DLCs have arrived in the world of Minecraft. ]

[For players in love with magic, the DLC ThaumCraft is for you!

Thaumaturgy is the capability of a magician to work miracles. The practitioner of thaumaturgy is a thaumaturge, thaumaturgist or miracle worker.

This is what this mod is all about - drawing magic from physical objects in the form of Essentia and reshaping it to perform miracles. ]

Ned was surprised by this first DLC, he didn't think it was possible to do Magic in Minecraft! Initially Ned thought there might be magic classes in Minecraft, as players could use swords, shields, axes and bows, the only thing missing was magic to make a perfect RPG, but unfortunately he never discovered anything related to magic other than potions .

But now it was available! That was amazing, Ned was really looking forward to buying this DLC right now to start playing it and experimenting with making magic with your own hands.

Playing a game with magic was fun, but playing Minecraft with magic will be a unique experience for each player, as unlike other games, players feel that they are really in another world with another body, meaning magic will also feel extremely real!

But as excited as Ned was, he started reading the other DLC.

Shuri was a little bored. Initially she had a lot of fun playing Minecraft, especially as she tried to invent machines with RedStone, but as the days went by, because of the simplicity of this, Shuri ended up feeling that the game was becoming a bit boring for her.

That was the problem with geniuses, whereas normal people would take months to learn how to craft an automatic farm, for Shuri who was smart enough to make the Black Panther suit, thinking about making automatic farms, or big redstone circuits was very simple. for her.

When she was getting ready to log out of the game, she saw the notification that there was a new DLC and decided to check it out, after all different things could come.

Seeing ThaumCraft's description, Shuri felt that it was quite boring and not that interesting to her. Despite having a lot of new things, apparently they weren't complicated things, just basic things that any common person would be able to do if they had the time available.

But when she saw the description of the second DLC Shuri's heart sped up as her eyes sparkled.

[If you feel that ThaumCraft is not your cup of tea, you might be interested in IndustrialCraft!

IndustrialCraft introduces numerous features across a variety of areas in Minecraft, including resource processing, mining, agriculture and the player's armory itself. It accomplishes this through the use of a proprietary energy system of Energy Units, or EU, and includes an array of generators and blocks to provide and store this energy and a much larger stable of machinery and tools to use this energy in their own ways! ]

Shuri was shocked, curious she started seeing promotional images of this modpack and was even more excited to play. From the promotional images she could see that there were different types of machines, she would have to design the best place to build her factory, the best layout to build it, get the resources, use machines to process the resources and use that to do other things .

There was so much she would have to do that Shuri's smile kept growing.

Without thinking twice, Shuri bought the $10 DLC and after a few seconds of installation she went into Minecraft to build an amazing factory!

Not only Shuri, tens of thousands of players around the world were amazed by these Minecraft DLCs and almost everyone bought at least one of the DLCs to try out, this included the bigwigs from the world of Marvel as well.
