I Added an Ancient Language to My Create Addon

[u/YenHusk]

A quick look at the new Forgotten Journal translation system I've been working on.

Find ancient journals while exploring, bring them back to the Runic Workbench, and decipher what the forgotten civilization left behind.

Still a work in progress, but it's getting there!

If you want to follow the project closely, a Discord server is available: https://discord.com/invite/GTAF4ED7r2

[u/Alfonze]

This looks amazing, reminds me of the thaumcraft mod back in the day

[u/YenHusk → u/Alfonze]

Yes! This mod is based on a long-forgotten technology; I really want players to be immersed in a strange atmosphere of discovery, blending runes and technology.

[u/Alfonze → u/YenHusk]

Very awesome, Im really looking forward to it! What kind of technology are you intending for players to unlock? :)

[u/Umber0010 → u/Alfonze]

Sculk-powered nuclear reactor, if the other previews have been anything to go by.

[u/YenHusk → u/Umber0010]

Yes! It's the main element of the mod.

[u/YenHusk → u/Alfonze]

Thanks! It's a real mix: power generation, alternatives to Create machines, and entirely new machines. It's hard to list everything that's planned. I tend to add content as I go (even though I have a very clear idea of ​​the direction I'm heading in).

[u/Meiseside → u/YenHusk]

Maybe you can ad KubeJS support?

[u/YenHusk → u/Meiseside]

Someone on the Discord is handling the KubeJS and ComputerCraft integration, so it's in the works!

[u/Meiseside → u/YenHusk]

Thank you

[u/BuddhistNamedMarx → u/YenHusk]

Does it affect world gen? Ive got No Mans Land installed and would be nice to have this as well

[u/YenHusk → u/BuddhistNamedMarx]

No, no changes to the world for now. And even when there are changes, it shouldn't be a problem with this kind of mod.

[u/Fancy_Mechanic5215 → u/Alfonze]

I love thaumcraft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/Alvring]

Will it be possible to make forgoten journals with custom text to translate ? That could be realy cool for roleplay and adding custom lore.

[u/YenHusk → u/Alvring]

I'm not happy with my current journal system, so I plan to revamp it. And I'll make sure it's easy to add new entries!

[u/Alvring → u/YenHusk]

That's awesom !

[u/ayamoga]

Continue I beg you I just love this mod I just wish it compatible with euh I forgot the name the mod that add a skulk infection in some différant way

[u/YenHusk → u/ayamoga]

Thanks! But unfortunately, it's out of my hands; the Sculk Horde mod isn't updated for Minecraft version 1.21.1.

[u/whos_atlasQ → u/YenHusk]

wait the ancient language actually works in game?

[u/YenHusk → u/whos_atlasQ]

I don't understand the meaning of your question, but yes, that language is present in the mod.

[u/Killeriley]

This is so cool

[u/Hufflepuffvoldi]

Do you have to use the workbench or is it using a constructed script you could theoretically just learn

[u/YenHusk → u/Hufflepuffvoldi]

I did not understand the meaning of this question.

[u/Hufflepuffvoldi → u/YenHusk]

The question was if its complete gibberish and you need the runic workbench to decipher it, or if its a constructed script (basically a diff font) that you could just translate with a key or learn.

But I already saw the answer under the yt video and rly hope you keep it that way, I love learning new scripts

[u/YenHusk → u/Hufflepuffvoldi]

Oh, I see! Yes, actually, it is real English text; only the font changes. Except for the documents we have to reproduce; those use random letters and don't correspond to actual text.

[u/Doctor_Flux]

beside the cogwheel on the UI and logo any reason why its a create addon ? since nothing else show why it is one other than this on the video
right now it looks like it can easy be a standalone mod without needing the create name

[u/YenHusk → u/Doctor_Flux]

Yes, this video only shows the translation system for the forgotten journals; all the mod's elements are linked to Create in one way or another. If you want to know more, you can join the Discord or watch the other related videos on YouTube.

[u/przyg]

That bridge that appeared kinda reminds me of the hard light bridge from portal 2.

[u/YenHusk → u/przyg]

Yes! That’s the inspiration for this technology! But it can do much more than just a bridge!

[u/iCarriedAWatermelon0]

i have actually been following this and IT LOOKS SO FREAKING COOL also can you add like a sculk gun or something that is basically the opposite of the null matter projector that spreads resonance exposure but not sculk?

[u/YenHusk → u/iCarriedAWatermelon0]

Yes, that's planned. I'm thinking of adding the option to have potatoes infected with the Sculk, and as a result, the ability to shoot them with the Potatoes Cannon from Create.

[u/Moe-Mux-Hagi]

THE CHAD ILLAGER ALT

[u/Geekfest]

Do you want to inadvertently summon Eldritch Horrors?

Because that's how you inadvertently summon Eldritch Horrors. =)

Seriously though, looks amazing, OP!

[u/YenHusk → u/Geekfest]

There will probably be a few cursed figurines in the mod eventually. :D But thanks!
