1.2.5 - Again, Uneven

BuildCraft has updated to support 1.2.5, with most updates being backend improvements.  It also no longer requires ModLoaderMP, which is neat. Supposedly the latest Forge versions now provide whatever API thingies (highly technical programming term!) that BuildCraft needed from ModLoaderMP.

However, RedPower and Industrialcraft are still on 1.2.4, and also still require ModLoaderMP.

As for me, still busy with real life issues, but should be able to step up the pace near the end of the month.

1.2.3 Updates Complete!

Industrial Craft has updated to MC 1.2.3, and BuildCraft has released an official 1.2.3 version as well. That’s it, folks!

Note: Both of these require Forge 1.4.0.57, available here. This is not the latest version of Forge, but the most recent version breaks some things in both mods.

As for me, I’ll have at least one video out by the weekend and hopefully be back on a more normal schedule next week.

1.2.3 Mod Update Roundup

Been busy traveling, so I haven’t been able to stay on top of things. So here’s a roundup of progress toward full 1.2.3 mod compatibility.

Buildcraft & Forge
As mentioned in a previous post, Buildcraft has been putting out pre-releases prior to an official 1.2.3 release. They are available in the newspost here, and require the 1.2.3 version which can be obtained from the usual place.

Forestry
In addition to co-leading the Buildcraft team, it looks like SirSengir has also been hard at work getting Forestry ready. There are new versions (1.4.0.2) available for both versions of the latest Buildcraft pre-releases.

Logistics Pipes
No updates from Krapht. He’s probably busy with the work on Buildcraft.

Teleport Pipes
No news. Updates in DaStormbringer’s thread were pretty sparse prior to the 1.2.3 update from Mojang, and he hasn’t been heard from since. Hopefully he comes back or someone else at least takes over to maintain compatibility.

Industrial Craft
Nothing released yet, but Alblaka confirmed today that he’s beginning work today and has plenty of free time ahead.

RedPower2
Eloraam is actively working on a 1.2.3 port for RP2, but as usual, she’s keeping the details secret. Below is an image she tweeted on the 12th showing volcanoes and giant rubber trees in a vanilla 1.2.3 jungle biome.

Millenaire
Millenaire’s latest version (2.4.3) is compatible with MC 1.2.3. and can be found at the official Mellinaire page.

Wireless Redstone
ali4z very quickly updated Wireless Redstone to MC 1.2.3, but the version number remains the same (1.5). 

LaserMod
w3(r4ft updated his mod to MC 1.2.3 and added a few changes. Details in the official thread.

OptiFine
Last but not least, all versions of OptiFine are now compatible with 1.2.3 and available here. 

To summarize: We are still waiting on RedPower2, Industrial Craft, a “final” version of Buildcraft, and the Buildcraft addons (teleport pipes, logistics pipes).

BuildCraft for 1.2.3 Pre-release

There’s a frequently update pre-release build available for MC 1.2.3 available at the BuildCraft website. It looks pretty buggy, but they are working on it.
