50+ Beginner Tips and Tricks for All The Mods 9

no joke, quests are what makes the whole "modpack thing" so much more enjoyable. thank you for those!

Ok you caught me, i thought I was the only one who just roam around and jump on chests without knowing what to do 😂😅

Tip: You can claim chunks by selecting the map in the top left of your inventory! You can also Shift-Click to keep it loaded even when you're away.

You can place the Ars Nouveau scribe's table next to your storage drive. Any item in your system can be pulled by the scribe's table to help make glyphs, just as it would if you put a chest with items next to it. Really useful when starting the mod as well as grinding the glyphs for more mana

Early game tip is to raid every dungeon you come across. Do not go below the second floor until you’re at netherite level. There is a ton of valuable loot in them. Specifically backpacks and artifacts. Bunny slippers and eternal steak are fine that really help throughout the game.

Alfred wth, i only just found out that you are THE Alfred that made the quests. Your videos are next level, and im yet to start the quests, but im so bloody excited. Thanks for your time and creativity, it is most appreciated, will definitely be heading over to your patreon some time this week.

Tip #54 and #55 If you wanna have your solar neutron activators (from mekanism) work all the time producing polonium from your nuclear waste, set it up in the Everbright Dimension. Also force load chunks to have your machines work even when you're away from your base.

Tip! Avocado Toast is a FANTASTIC early game food source. The easiest way to get avocados is the make a market stall and then buy an avocado sapling for one emerald! Then you can put that sapling in a hopper botany pot and you’ll have avocados for DAYS!

in atm9 easy villagers are in it, USE THE IRON FARM you will never have to worry about iron ever again. also, fletcher for emeralds plus rough emeralds (emeralds in stone cutter) reset trades. silent gear saw is basically the chainsaw enchantment without needing an enchanting table or books. redwood or pine for your lumber needs.

Bro the quests were the best new addition imo. Added a ton of information I have been having trouble finding online. Maybe add exploration/structure quests. Thank you!

also, make a solid fuel quarry in atm9 as soon as possible, it doesnt cost any all the modium, takes 3 slabs, 3 furnaces, 1 redstone torch i think,. and 2 diamond picks, its op af early imo for finding ores (not it may be 3 furnaces cant remember fully tbh) but its super cheap

Exchanging tool is great if you want your area looking clean (replace sand with dirt/grass, or you live in a cave but want your walls made out of stone bricks - saves a lot of time digging up and then placing blocks! Also, apotheosis is your friend, affix your gear, use gems, look up non-vanilla library setup! When I first played ATM8 I wasn't aware of there being anything past the usual vanilla enchanting setup; oh boy I was wrong! Thank you Alfred for making the Quests, it's the sole reason I play ATM packs, it's addicting to complete them! I can't play any other modpack that doesn't have them now. xD

Great vid, two more tips, 1. Work on getting an axe as your main weapon with HP% damage, HP% damage gem and armor pierce/shred for HUGE dmg then enchant with vorpal for added damage. You will 1 to 3 shot piglich and ender dragons. 2. something i got from Alfreds ATM8 playthrough; was craft a vengeance pickaxe from EvilCraft as soon as you get 3 diamonds it gives you fortune V.

#1 Using Create is amazing not just for duplicating ores but also for getting annoying things to find such as slime balls, dyes, and many other items. #2 The Leap spell from Ars Nouveau to get around quickly. Once you get creative flight (or a jetpack even works) you'll zoom around faster than your world can generate. #3 Don't want to lose a block to lava, cactus, or the void? A magnet, sophisticated backpack magnet upgrade, silent gear iron tool parts, and finally the Create wrench automatically puts it in your inventory. #4 If you don't want to mine yourself but want lots of stuff and can't afford a chunk destroyer yet? Use a Create contraption such as a self-tracking driller or a drop-drill platform. #5 If you're having trouble with autocrafting (especially in AE2) don't fret, Crafter tier 1-3 are there to help. They're faster than by hand for just a fraction of power. #6 Don't worry about trying to kill tons of Piglitches by hand, they have 10k health! Instead use a Mob Yoinker and Ars Nouveau to get you all the hearts you desire. #7 If you're having trouble with an unsorted inventory. RFTools Inventory Scanner and a wall of storage will tide you over until you can get your Refined Storage / AE2 system up and running. #8 No matter if you choose between RS or AE2, best practice is setting the correct priority on a storage interface touching a Drawer Controller to save disk space for things you will have thousands or millions of. Drawers with Netherite upgrades and Void upgrades keep your system pristine! #9 If you have gems you want to upgrade and socket mid to late game, don't throw away the gray (common) gems! Instead use the parts gained through crushing unwanted gear and gems in the better versions all the way through Perfect gems. For any gem you don't want just crush it for dust to use in the above manner. #10 Mimics drop amazing baubles from the Artifacts mod. If you use a swab to make a Mimic spawner and farm all the artifacts you might just have an easier time under water, in the Nether/End or in seeing in the dark!

If you ever want to passively increase your Mahou, spend a day to setup an area with a bunch of Alchemical Exchange circles (2 powdered emerald, 1 powdered gold). Each circle will activate at the same time every day, depending on when you initially activated them and thus increasing your mahou without the need to spam the storage gems.

If you tip your arrows with the ore sight potion and enchant your bow with endless quiver, you have unlimited uses of the sight potions as long as you can manage to shoot yourself lol

Extra Tips: rotten flesh from a mob farm using a smoking and generator augment makes lots of energy -silent gear obsidian hammer speeds up mining without using the hunger bar early game, next tier is refined obsidian hammer with netherite coating -enchanted books can be combined in an anvil instead of using tomes which can only be found in chests, for higher tier enchants like fortune III -> Fortune V

If you come across a Hexerei village, you can find "drying racks" in the attic bedroom area of some houses, which you can use to dry zombie flesh into leather 9 at a time. Also, I CANNOT survive without COFFERS from Hexerei! I use one as my "everywhere I go" tool box to hold stuff I always need without taking up my backpack spaces. Will hold additional backpacks, your crafting table on a stick, you repair kits, buckets, etc... If you are dedicated enough to make the Hexerei cauldron, you can make this and place coffers everywhere! I use one in my work shed for all my random tools like wrenches, trowel, etc.... LOVE THEM & thanks for another awesome tips video!!!

The first infinite water block the quests will tell you about is the sink. And it's good, but not the best. The Eternal Water Block from Evil Craft will instantly fill up any connected inventory with its maximum capacity of water. You'll want this once you make your first Mekanism Fission Reactor. The only limiting factor in making it is waiting for it to rain, but you can find spells in loot chests which will summon rain on command. Don't be afraid to remap less commonly used vanilla hotkeys. I moved drop items to the up arrow and removed the hotkey for listing players by pressing escape over that keybind. Now I use Tab and Q for controlling my jetpack. Dimensional Shards spawn at literally every height level, making them very tedious to find on demand. It can technically be crafted, but each piece is expensive unless you have an infinite source of Emeralds, Diamonds, Quartz, and Prismarine. So if you find any early in the game, keep it. You can lower the volume of any individual sound using extreme sound muffler. Just click the speaker icon in your inventory and search for the sound you want to mute or lower.

Thanks for this video! I just got this modpack last night, and it's overwhelming jumping from vanilla to this. Your overview is very helpful
