Some people have reported some performance issues with v1.33 of BA+, and that is most likely because that version reintroduced Voxy and Voxy WorldGen to the modpack -- the latter of which can be extremely laggy. So, v1.34 will ship with Voxy WorldGen disabled by default and you can re-enable it by going into Mod Menu and opening the config for Voxy WorldGen and simply enabling it.
Additionally, v1.34 ships with 8 render distance instead of 16, so if your PC is still struggling to run the modpack after this fix then I'm sorry but your computer just sucks.
I was notified just a bit ago by a viewer email that someone is masquerading a malicious download as something along the lines of "FlowSMP Modpack.mrpack" -- basically pretending to have a download link to the mods we use on the FlowSMP, when in reality it's just a session highjack.
JoCat who is a pretty big creator got their Discord and other social accounts hacked by this scam and has made a video which I will link below that has some more context.
Bottom line is NEVER EVER DOWNLOAD ANY FILES FROM ANYONE YOU DON'T KNOW UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. EVER.
I almost exclusively ship modpack files to Modrinth (and CurseForge I suppose, but I don't do that anymore).
I say almost exclusively for a couple of reasons. I had to upload modpack files to Google Drive for S8 of the FlowSMP when Modrinth was taking their sweet time approving my modpack. I also on occasion will send people an .mrpack file if I'm playing with friends or need someone to test something quickly if Modrinth is down or something.
Aside from that, I ALWAYS upload .mrpacks to official websites like Modrinth. That is it. I will certainly never DM someone saying "hey download this file" for no reason. That has scam written all over it.
Please be careful who you talk to on the internet. Do not ever download a modpack file from some random person in DMs. EVER.
Season 9 of the FlowSMP will be launching at 4:00 PM EST, which is in about 90 minutes from now. The theme of this season will be Fantasy, so if that sounds interesting to you considering joining. You can find info in #⭐how-to-join-smp in my Discord
Additionally, you will need the latest version of Fantasy Adventures+ -- check out the link below for that:
Just thought I'd share a quick thought with everyone about the channel.
I know that I've been uploading a lot lately -- almost every day lately -- and some people might be concerned about burnout or that I'm uploading too much. I just want to say that I feel especially passionate lately about making videos and Minecraft, whether that's because of Matcha Flavoured and playing a more simple playstyle, or just because I'm having fun doing it.
I love this job and will do it for as long as I love it, and I hope that you continue to get enjoyment through my content. I feel very appreciative that you all watch my videos so that I may continue to do this job into the future. Thank you very much for your support.
As always, I'm open to your thoughts and suggestions on this post or whatever video ideas you may have for me.
Hello gamers so, surprise! S9 closed beta testing for the FlowSMP starts right now, yes right now. I decided to do it early. You will need to be a FlowSMP member and have v1.5 of FA+ installed.
We'll run this testing for about a week to see what can be further streamlined or added to the modpack, and then we'll launch S9 this coming Friday, August 14th.
A lot of new people have found my channel through the Genesis video I made and have complained about the 21:9 aspect ratio of my videos since they’re not used to it.
What do you think of the ultra wide resolution of my videos?
So I know that in the video I posted today I said that I was using v1.17 of BA+, but honestly just ignore that and go straight to v1.18 if you want to play Matcha BA+.
There's a lot of pretty big bug fixes in this version, but the biggest thing is I LITERALLY FORGOT TO SHIP THE MODPACK WITH MATCHA IN IT UNTIL NOW, so that would be a good enough reason to up the version. See the full changelog below.
Okay, first of all. SORRY!
The previous versions of BA+ did not come with Matcha by default because I forgot to include the global_packs folder in the export, which is a global folder for datapack loading. As such, the modpack did not ship with Matcha Flavoured actually installed. Sorry about that.
This is now fixed in 1.18+, as well as the following changes. - Streams Reflowing has been fixed, so no more slow chunk loading times - RightClickHarvest now works with Jobs+ Farming XP - Backpacks were removed because their inventory clears after re-open (seems to be a bug with Matcha but not 100% sure -- removing until I know more information)
For those who have been having issues with the Matcha textures showing up properly, make sure Matcha is enabled in your resource pack list. It should be default, but check there if you're having trouble.

Hotfix that includes Cristel Lib -- required dependency mod that caused a crash in the previous version. Sorry about that.

Going on a trip for a few days so won't be quite as many uploads, but hopefully the farmhouse video I just posted will tie you over. Be back soon.
