BuildCraft 2.2.12 / 3.1.2 for Minecraft 1.1.0

Posted on by

So here we go, support for Minecraft 1.1.0. Thanks to the amazing work of the community, for ModLoader, ModLoaderMP and Minecraft Forge, this is probably the fastest it ever happened! And good news for you guys, there’s a lot of very nice enhancements for 3.1.2. First of all, some major optimization so your BC worlds will run a heck of a lot faster. Even faster than with the 2.2 branch! Included in these optimizations are various rules with pipes containing too many stacks (thanks Player!) which will either group items if possible, or explode if really too crowded.

Other than that, blueprints go one step further into natively supporting third party mods. They should me much more clever at identifying what items are required to build a given block. For advanced blueprint support, dedicated modder work is still required. The interfaces have been greatly enhanced in response to community request to handle even more cases, in particular the ability to use items as opposed to consuming them.

Work has started around the filler. They can now plant seeds, are fully supported in the blueprints, and offer a “loop” action through the gates which will allow them to carry on working when done.

Other than that, various bug fixes and minor enhancements. Note that the 3.1.x API is now frozen – so if you’re modding, you can start to rely on it. I’m now switching gears, and will start to move 3.x out of the alpha program to make it into beta. This means SMP implementation and documentation. Note that 2.2.x is still the mainstream version at the moment.

BuildCraft 2.2.12 changes

#142 fix graphical glitches
Fixed graphical glitches when using several sub-mods adding pipes.

#143 add support for vines in blueprints
Vines are now supported in blueprints.

#149 add support to “use” a tool instead of “consuming” it
It is now possible to specify how to use a tool in a block placed by a blueprint.

#151 support fillers in blueprints
Fillers are now fully supported in blueprint.

#152 optimize code
Major code optimization have been done, in particular in pipes and engines.

#153 consume items if no containers for tanks
When interracting with a tank, an item that has no container will safely be consumed.

#154 don’t use real items in diamond pipe
Diamond pipes don’t use real items anymore, but only store the item kind.

#155 blueprint should suport items translation

#158 fix pipe NPE in builders

Exceptions in path markers when markers are too far away are fixed.

#165 add hook when pipe reaches a side

  2. I had just completed porting BC 2.2.11 to 1.1 unofficially. Then went to ask for permission to release it on these forums and…yeah the official released :P

  5. Thank you for another fast update! Now I can click update :D (before, it was the button of doom:)
    Also, when will the server be updated?(I think soon, but warn me if I have to store 1.0:)

  6. Hi there SpaceToad! Thanks for such an amazing mod and a fast update to 1.1! I do have one question, I went to MossyCobble for a server specifically because you maintain the BuildCraft patches there. Is there a notification when the server jars there are updated? Thanks much!

    • Yes there is. I’m always waiting a bit for stabilization before updating the mossycobble version. From early feedback from the reference server, there seems to be some outstanding disconnections. Not sure what they are due to, but I’ll gather some data before making the switch there.

  9. Sorry for the issue post, but 3.1.2 appears to have an issues with stacking items in the normal furnace after they are heated (output). The counter for the item doesn’t appear to increment (using BC and SPC)

  10. Confirmed that it isn’t SPC or the direct BC zip files. I’ve one at a time loaded each ModLoader and ModLoaderMP (1.1 v2) and the issue appears with forge 1.3.0. Also, i noted that the forge zip is missing from sorceforge, but not from the forms page

  11. Great to know it’s been updated!!!

    Just a side note: Has the bug with the quarry and striped pipe been fixed?

    Apart from that. Hurray!

  12. Shouldn’t the pipes just leak items. Like if a pipe is about to insert into another section of pipe with max compacity, just have the item leak out of the section and fall on the ground. Other then that… WOOT!

  13. Furness is not stacking items once they are cooked. sorry im new, is there a bug posting area?

    By the way im new and im already sold on bc. only its hard as my mates still want vanilla. so its very lonely in bc atm

  14. With the alpha 3.X download it still says it is for 1.0.0 is that correct or is it meant to say 1.1.0

  15. small bug i have idk if anyone else has it
    BUT when i use quarry’s in 2.2.12 it kills my game with a “saving chunks” error
    I hope im not the only one with this bug

    • ok i just tried the mining alt by using thaumcraft i was gong to use buildcraft pipes and i got the “saving chunks” error I think its pipe related

  16. SpaceToad, if it’s possible can you make it so that quarrys can be enchanted, so they can have fortune or something.

  17. I put blueprint “#1″ (1.bpt) in the builder and got this error:

  19. Quick bug report. In 3.1.2, whenever I log out of my world, the wooden transport pipes don’t seem to remember where to pull items from and get stuck doing nothing.

  20. The api src zip on the download page for 3.1.2 does not include the api/bptblocks folder and its contents.

  22. So how do i get the filler to plant seeds?
    Is there a new bunch of Filler recepies somewhere?

  23. Hey, on my smp server if i try to open the gui for a diamond pipe it crashes the client. im almost positive that it is a gui id conflict, but i can’t seem to find a way to change the gui id. could you possibly tell me where i could find it so i cange its value?

  24. So here we go, support for Minecraft 1.1.0. Thanks to the amazing work of the community, for ModLoader, ModLoaderMP and Minecraft Forge, this is probably the fastest it ever happened!
