VGHVI Tekkit: June 14, 2012
Partway through June, we tried out a Minecraft mod pack called Tekkit as our VGHVI game. (Patrick Holleman was kind enough to host.) I just wandered around taking pictures of the new blocks; here they are.
The first thing I saw was strange orange pipes; they turned out to be the top of some sort of automatic mining device.

Then I went into the nearby castle:
Castle entrance
An indoor farm
Some strange colorful pipes, I think for sorting
Our genial host
Pipe system on the roof
More roof ducts
Some pipe machinery in the basement

There's a lot more stuff in the item list
After wandering that castle, I traveled to another hall; I think that one was Pat’s, but I’m not completely sure.

An interesting tour, and I liked the way Tekkit was packaged; very convenient. There’s clearly a lot of stuff there; I didn’t have the energy to really dig into it (frankly, I’m still scared of getting sucked back into Minecraft, and it could be a lot worse with Tekkit), but it wouldn’t surprise me if Miranda has already started playing Tekkit on her own. Many thanks to Pat for showing us around!
