[Let's Test Hexxit for Minecraft 1.7.10!]

I'm not sure if the ore gen was doubled compared to vanilla when Hexxit first came out, but I do know that Canvox made it the same as Big Dig: he made ores spawn without depth restriction. Diamonds and redstone could be found on the surface

 

This is exactly what i was also missing. So i checked the config files and it seems like CoFH has been updated but the config in hexxit has not been adapted to the new version until now. (there is a mix of old and new config files)

 

So i set the following options in hexxit/config/cofh/CoFHCore.cfg (not World.cfg):

B:ReplaceVanillaGeneration=true
B:RetroactiveOreGeneration=true

Then i adapted hexxit/config/cofh/world/Vanilla.json to reflect the settings in the old World.cfg file, and it worked! If you set "retrogen: true" for all ores this will even regenerate the ores in all existing chunks!

 

Another issue i noticed is that all battletower chests are empty. I get a lot of the following errors during startup:

Battletowers failed parsing or finding Item/Block 4
Battletowers failed parsing or finding Item/Block 12
Battletowers failed parsing or finding Item/Block 3
Battletowers failed parsing or finding Item/Block 86
Battletowers failed parsing or finding Item/Block 360

Seems like the blockids haven't been updated until now?

 

Another issue (which will probably have no impact on Windows systems) is that hexxit/config/LycanitesMobs in the hexxit pack is spelled in capital letters, but the mod expects the directory in lower case (hexxit/config/lycanitesmobs) and will regenerate the directory with default settings on unix systems. (i discovered this issue while experimenting with the weight scales in hexxit/config/lycanitesmobs/lycanitesmobs-spawning.cfg on the server)

 

Otherwise i'm very pleased with the new version! I have been using it for ~1 week now with friends on a server and it was rock stable with no serious issues.

I also would like to play on a mod heavy tekkit server (Forestry, Railcraft, Mo' Creatures) and this looks like the best one i could find! I've already created my own modpack (including ExtrabiomesXL) to test on my own server, but i want to join a server where i can play with a lot of other people, so please add me! thx!
