Blightfall is a modpack for Minecraft that combines exploration, technology, and magic. Unlike most other modpacks, Blightfall is constructed and crafted around an intricate plot that only gets deeper and deeper as you play. Much of Blightfall's gameplay revolves around and expands upon concepts from Thaumcraft, so tropes from there apply here. You play as a member of a colonizing ship's crew, and are sent down to the surface of an alien world in an attempt to turn it into a flourishing colony. Nearly all of the planet is covered in a visceral purplish biomass that renders it almost uninhabitable. As you adventure and explore, you will come across many different structures and uncover the mystery behind the Blight and what it did to this world.Blightfall is one of the main modpacks included in the Technic Launcher. Its web page can be found here. | |

Blightfall (Video Game) / int_1b9df446 | comment |
Wrong Context Magic: Homeworld has vanilla Minecraft-style enchanting. The Tainted planet has Thaumcraft (with Thaumic Tinkering), Botania, and Blood Magic. The Jaded crew have no clue what to make of this stuff, and consider the Paranormalist a loony for trying to study it. | |

Easter Egg | |
Blightfall (Video Game) / int_29a39f6 | comment |
Easter Egg: There are several little secrets hidden throughout the map. Underground at the Eerie Island, you can find a pocket containing a chest filled with saplings, a Tainted Horiculturist, as well as a sign reading: "Agricultural time capsule. To be opened when the world is healed." The one stronghold in the map is instead a portal to Last Millenium. Inside, you can find Archmage Xillith, as well as several items that can help you clean the taint. The modpack's creator revealed a Sequel Hook during a player's stream: The gold pile beneath the Black Marketeer's house contains a purchase receipt. He sold the Taint to a weapons company on Homeworld. The sequel was never completed. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
Blightfall (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Food-wise, emergency rations are this. They cost a small amount of reputation to buy from the supplier, they restore about two and a half bars of hunger, and best of all, they are unaffected by the diminishing returns mechanic that affects all other food. Putting cake on the floor in block form lets you eat it without diminishing returns. For transport, Boats. Taint does not spread across water, and there aren't any aquatic enemies. In addition, travelling by water means you won't have to deal with taint poison you normally have to deal with if you were travelling on ground. Farming barley. The Colonist will repeatedly buy 4 stacks of bread for 9 reputation, making it the easiest way to grind for the Supplier. (Why barley over wheat? Barley has one less growth stage, so it matures faster.) Using a water tower covered in hydroangeas to generate mana for Botania, since Blightfall predates the three-day lifespan. Other flowers are faster or more efficient, but hydroangeas are very easy to mass-produce from the very start, and because of their mechanics, it's possible to make them quite compact. | |

Blightfall (Video Game) / int_50727f8d | comment |
Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: Played with. While dying in Blightfall is even less of a loss resource-wise than in Minecraft (You will respawn with your entire inventory and experience), it replaces this loss with a loss in your reputation with the Jaded crew. Your first three deaths can be forgiven, but after that, it's not so easy. | |

Fantasy Metals: One of the draws of the new planet is that it has a whole variety of previously undiscovered metal minerals. Of the usual suspects, Mithril, Orichalcum, and Adamantine are represented, but the Metallurgy 4 mod adds many, many more, and all of them can be alloyed in some way. Most of the Geologist's quests are to find these new minerals and send samples to him for study. All of the Black Marketeer's quests are about finding buyers for them on Homeworld. | |

Accidental Discovery: Wanting to make a journal for experiments with the planet's unusual energy field, The Paranormalist instructs you to build a bookshelf and tap it with a wand. This instead creates the Thaumonomicon, an in-universe textbook for Thaumcraft. Looking for an End Portal can lead you to Archmage Xillith's hideout in the Last Millennium. Since end materials are available in eerie biomes, there's no real reason to go looking for the End. | |

Fantasy Gun Control: Averted. Guns from the Custom NPCs mod are craftable, as are bullets. Meaning that you can supplement spell-casting with a gun if you choose, though the bullets requiring gunpowder makes them rather hard to stock up on. Some of the enemies you encounter are Taint-corrupted Jaded scouts, who have their own machine guns. | |

Godzilla Threshold: The war with the Dark One drove Archmage Xillith to unleash a fast-acting Taint superweapon. A dead NPC named Thyr0rk is found on the flying island near Eerie Island. Judging by his journal, he was trying to escape the spreading Taint by entering the Eldritch Dimension. Since his body is noticeably Taint-free, it's likely he was killed by something from the latter. | |

CommonplaceRare | |
Blightfall (Video Game) / int_78f31439 | comment |
Commonplace Rare: "Tech metals", such as copper, tin, and lead, are rarer than diamonds! Thankfully, if you turn in each type of tech ore, the crew on the Jaded can point you towards some spots where they are plentiful. Materials gained by defeating hostile mobs are harder to come by than usual thanks to most of the map being tainted. You'll need to find spawners to reliably stock up on rotten flesh and bones, and gunpowder will remain scarce until you start getting large areas cleaned. The only way to get Tinker's Construct bacon (not Minecraft pork chops, which are also called "bacon" by players) is by using a tool with parts made from "pig iron" alloy (blood, emeralds, and iron). You cannot make floral fertilizer from two dyes and two bonemeal, so to get Botania's mystical flowers, you either have to search the world with the Paranormalist's guidance (the intended method) or make a Jaded Amaranthus (which still requires searching the world for the lime, green, and purple petals, and a source of mana to create a rune of spring). | |

Magitek: With enough study, thaumaturgy can be used to enhance the Matter-Energy storage system from Applied Energistics. Much of thaumaturgy results in the creation of magical machines which comes to a head with the Dawn Machine, a Totem of Dawn infused with the power of gears and gizmos, allowing it to perform extra purification with RF power and essentia. One of the Paranormalist's quests says that although the planet's natives were masters of thaumaturgy, they didn't have much in the way of automation, something at which Homeworld's technology excels. | |

It worked. The Last Milennium, where you meet the man who was presumed dead and inadverdently caused the taint: Archmage Xillith. | |

Blightfall (Video Game) / int_9bee1a7f | comment |
Eldritch Location: The Eerie Island, located south of the continent, is host to some very, very strange phenomena. This includes a high concentration of Sinister nodes, ender stone deposits underground, the Evil Tower of Ominousness in the center of the island, and your character being contacted by The Dark One upon discovering it. | |

Trademark Favorite Food: Archmage Xillith misses cake dearly after centuries of hiding in the Last Millennium with only his Ring of Nutrition to sustain him. You can give him one, and he will thank you with daily packages of random essentia and shards. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
Blightfall (Video Game) / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: To enforce using Tinkers Construct tools, building Minecraft-style tools from wood, stone, iron, gold, or diamonds in a crafting table is banned by government mandate in-universe. One of the Instructor's quest chains is to make a similar pick by using unregulated materials in the crafting table, and one of the Dark One's quests is to make a diamond sword by using an alchemist's set, with the explanation that your government only regulates doing so with the crafting table. | |

Didn't See That Coming: "Known Unknowns" variant: The teaser website has the planet scan, which spells out the lack of known plants, animals, and undead, and the excess of an unidentified biomass. So Homeworld and the Jaded crew had evidence that something was there, but they didn't expect it to be as hostile or adaptive as the Taint turned out to be. | |

Underwater Base | |
Blightfall (Video Game) / int_dfbd69d5 | comment |
Underwater Base: Drop Pod Omega's starting location is completely underwater. It is generally meant to be the hardest thanks to the small amount of farmland and it being a hassle to get in and out. However, there is a Mineshaft available from the base, and a treehouse in a Greatwood tree is pretty close, and has some great stuff for the early game, including a Tool Forge for Tinker's Construct tools. | |

GameplayAndStoryIntegration | |
Blightfall (Video Game) / int_e6630c8b | comment |
Gameplay and Story Integration: Considering that Minecraft by itself doesn't have much in the way of story, Blightfall builds its story around gameplay mechanics present within both the base game and included mods. This is most prominently seen with the mod Thaumcraft, with the Taint coming straight out of said mod, and the majority of magic being built around Thaumcraft's progression. | |

Mundane Utility: Due to the planet's atmosphere disabling standard dynamos, the only way to generate power is through Yellorium fission. This results in using a miniature nuclear reactor to power your oven.
