FTB Plexiglass Mountain 1.18.2 (2022)

History

After familiarizing ourselves with how heavily-modded Minecraft generally works, we set off to try a kitchen-sink modpack. The FTB Plexiglass Mountain pack challenges players to progress through a number of end-game mods and ultimately build a pyramid out of plexiglass blocks. While we never reached that goal, this server stands as our most creative and expansive world to date.

We played through a lot of the same mods we encountered in FTB University 1.16, but one stand-out mod unique to this pack was Simple Planes. After we moved much of our base into a volcanic caves biome, we constructed an air strip that peeked out from the bottom of the volcano like a super-villain hideout. The runway opened up into a ravine with steep cliffs on either side, so both takeoff and landing was extremely challenging. Those of us that succeeded in the feat were added to a "Top Gun" display at the end of the runway.

This world contains a number of interesting builds, many of which were firsts for us.

A meticulously calculated max-size Mekanism Fission reactor setup. Why? Because we could! The cooling and fuel system for this reactor allowed it to run 24/7 and even cold-start at the maximum burn rate.
A max-size AE2 spatial storage matrix in the mining dimension which we used to ...
- Create a floating platform of Mekanism portals linking all of our bases.
- Create a checkered black and yellow sandbox platform for trying out build ideas.
- Move an entire home from the spawn area to the bottom of the volcanic caves.
A Create passenger train linking two different bases under the volcano.
An (unfinished) underground resource generation facility with a layout similar to The Hive from Resident Evil.
An AE2 pattern provider and assembler matrix room inspired by Cerebro from X-Men.
