It looked like a perfect planet. Plans to make a colony ship started that day. But now that we’ve arrived, it’s clear that things are not as they first appeared. A seething, teeming purple biomass covers the surface, spewing forth malign alien entities that cruelly murdered the initial scouts. We aren’t sure if the scans were wrong or if Space Command was just lying to us, but this is not the paradise we were promised.
We’re sending you down to the surface as our last attempt before giving up and taking the Jaded and her colonists back to Homeworld. We’ve got little to offer you besides a glass bioshelter to keep the aliens out. We’re only willing to invest so much more into what will probably be a failed expedition. But if you’re resourceful and lucky, perhaps we can find a way to make this colony work after all.
Blightfall is a combination modpack and adventure map about surviving on an alien planet. It uses magic mods and tech mods to create a novel gameplay experience. Can you survive on a world completely covered by Thaumcraft taint?

Hi guys, after the last episode, I asked if you wanted me to add some background music. I decided to add some quiet, dark/ambient music while exploring, and I want some feedback. Last video, many of you said I should stick to either quiet vanilla Minecraft music or no music at all; unless doing montages or time lapses. Just want some second opinions on the music, if I should continue with this type of music while exploring, or not bother with music at all. Thanks for the support!
The music was alright, but did get sort of distracting at times. Would definitely prefer either vanilla or nothing to this.
As long as the music volume is low like it was now, it's fine. My brain has a hard time filtering sounds when there are too many things going on so generally I prefer no music.
The factorio OST might work
I think the music is fine, but should be a bit more quiet
Honestly wasn't much a fan of the music. If you do montages or something like that than sure but when it comes to normal play, standard minecraft stuff works for me.
Lmao, immediately Breaking your boat and then coming back to a creeper in your base is peak comedy
This is funny. I recommended to light up the base under the last video and someone said normal mobs rarely spawn, guess I was right after all.
11:25 Every time you exit a pre-rework boat you've got a good 94% chance its gonna go flying.
There was a Thaumcraft mod that added unbreakable boats. They were buggy in other ways though. Apparently it wasn't a trivial fix!
22:25 taint doesn't destroy stuff unless you are there. the game has to use a system on existing blocks in order for them to be effected by taint, however a block that is just in memory and not within render distance technically doesn't exist, so you don't have to worry about the taint destroying the village or any trees you might need unless they happen to be very close to your base.
You should plant the Iron ore berry bush you have, they need darkness to grow and produce metal nuggets in the form of berries, I was quite surprised you got one on your first roll and had yet to plant it.
An explanation in response to 35:56:
The “reinforced” modifier in TC gives a 10% chance to resist damage with each level. The obsidian cross guard gives your rapier a 30% chance. The effective durability is then calculated by
Effective = Actual / 0.7
To represent a 70% chance to lose durability with each use.
The vanilla unbreaking enchantment works a bit differently, by giving the tool a fractional chance to resist damage; for example UB1 gives 1/2 chance, UB2 gives 2/3 chance, UB3 gives 3/4 chance, etc.
You would need Reinforced V to get the same effect as Unbreaking I. The flip side is that if you get 10 stacks of Reinforced, the tool has a 100% chance to resist damage (and the tooltip changes to “Unbreakable” to match).
Im gonna suggest naming your weapon "the throngler" again.
But if you want ideas on what other series to do, consider other uh, "vintage" modpacks as well
I'll have to do another naming contest, I totally forgot about that! I'll be making a new weapon in episode 5 (episode 4 is already recorded) but I'll make sure to mention it!
@@itsPajamas007 can I suggest naming the chicken "Phil" too?
Damn... Honestly, this modpack with a more updated version would probably rock even harder, even if the most changes applied to Tinkers and changed the little questbook for a more convenient quest mod
The village Forge was so much luck! The most annoying thing about thinkers is always the "get enough seared stone to start a forge" and skipping that bit is a real blessing, specially since (unless earlier versions are different) you can cook cobble in a forge to make seared stone, skipping all the annoying grout bits.
The underwater thing you saw was probably the underwater starting base that was mentioned on the ship, it must be a really hard starter spot tbh... Not that you chose an easy one anyway...
I'm kinda glad you spared most of the villagers, maybe you can find a cure later on! Then again, these are old minecraft villagers and not too useful...
Really enjoying this so far! Keep up the good work!
If they remake this they should definitely wait for thaumacraft to be updated or get a spiritual successor, as I feel like newer mods that just as the infection/taint mechanics of thaumacraft don’t really stand up to the depth and intrigue of thaumacraft.
Thaumcraft is kind of an odd mod as it has gone through 6 different major versions and not all of them even have taint in them. Blightfall for a later version would be somewhat different as it would be using a different version of Thaumcraft.
@@erick5928 Thaumcraft _is_ being updated to _some_ modern version by the Thermal team, although I have no idea on the ETA for that. That said, there is no guarantee that said version will even have taint in it.
I highly, HIGHLY suggest making a Longsword and ditching the rapier. The lunge it offers is insanely valuable for exploring and can easily allow you scale up to 5 blocks vertically and to blitz past mobs without even needing to fight them, which is smart because without armor you're very squishy in this pack, and traveling over land for extended distances is unavoidable if you intend to complete the pack. The books with numbers will unlock their new sections if you throw a piece of flint and certus quartz on the ground, then pick them back up, and doing the same for other materials in the future. The "Boat Incident" is valuable for 2 reasons: I always suggest carrying at least 2 boats at all times, usually more because they stack in this version, and passive mobs can sometimes spawn in the water, making the ocean a good source of early-game food (make sure to be using a regular fishing rod too). The guy in shiny blue armor with a "gun" is a tainted botanist. He can 1-shot you when you're armorless and deals ridiculous damage even when you have full iron. The "placing torches with a pickaxe" is only possible when the torches are in the slot next to it but *does* work with any pick. You still need lava for your smeltery, a good source is going to the mushroom island south of Biodome Beta, its open lava pools are very helpful. That glass structure under the ocean is EXTREMELY VALUABLE, and you should definitely explore it and take everything next time. Just bring a door. That message "Oulgatha was squeezed by Taintacle" was a named witch on a nearby island dying. Also, please, for the love of god collect the pumpkins before they rot from taint.
That sounds like a good idea, at least to have the rapier as a backup for armored enemies. Is the rapier and the longsword the only melee weapons with innate abilities? And as for the rest of your comment, you might be a bit disappointed in me next video 😅
@@itsPajamas007 The broadsword can block to halve incoming damage, but that isn’t as useful compared to never being near the enemy in the first place. And don’t worry, in that chest near the pumpkin patch in the village there’s a few seeds, in case you really messed it up.
I managed to save Oulgatha in my game, with a safari ball. She's just a named witch, though, nothing special. Maybe they thought about adding Witchery to the pack!
Thank you! I found out about this modpack through this channel and these tips are so helpful ☺️
I am perhaps significantly late to the party, but there is a fourth sword type in the cutlass. It requires a full guard whose stencil is only obtainable in villiage pattern chests, but the cutlass is effectively a universally superior broadsword in that you get speed 2 on blocking damage and have a higher crit rate. Idk if it's better than a longsword or rapier for your purposes but it's something to keep in mind.
This series just feels so... cozy. It takes me back to being a kid and watching let's plays of other 1.7.10 modpacks, good stuff.
A schedule is nice if you feel comfortable sticking to it... personally, I believe you should just record and release when you feel like it. Don't pressure yourself too much.
Editing can be fun especially as you get better at it.
Gz on 1k! The wife and daughter watched this one with me and totally dug it. No need to overcommit to regular releases, imo. Take your time.
37:37 I believe Oulgatha is just a witchery coven witch
Ah, okay. That had me so worried that I might've broken a quest or something 😅
No, she's a regular witch. She's just a little bit of detail they added to the map, the last witch.
Algorithm doing you so much justice rn, keep doing what you're doing and you'll grow a good bit throughout this series
I'm so glad that TH-cam recommended the first episode of this series to me! I really enjoyed your journey so far, and I'm looking forward to the next installment!
just so you know, taint is not always purple - there's a lot of biome-colored fibrous taint on the floor in the swamp base. it'd be in your best interest to use something like a bucket of water to clear out all those tendrils so you stop stepping on them and taking damage. additionally, it might be in your best interest to make a mob spawning platform for passive mobs - a grass square covered in torches should do it, and if you make the grass either hover in the air (specifically so it does not have a continuous block connection to any tainted surface - if this is the route you'd choose, i'd put a tile of water in the center that streams down, so you can swim up and down the water without worry) or be covered in ethereal blooms, you should be able to spawn passive mobs to start ranching them for reliable food and resources.
furthermore, getting yourself a spare wooden door also might be recommended, as pre-1.13, doors were unable to be waterlogged, resulting in placing doors underwater creating breathable air pockets - aka a functioning diving bell - you might want it to explore the newly-discovered underwater base. iirc one of the map starts was an underwater base, so this might be the one mentioned in the intro?
Taint doesnt spread over water well so cleaning the swamp islands is really useful as they are almost completely safe
I find small creators make better content now because they make it with passion not for money.
Most youtubers now trying to copy dream or mr beast or 100 day shit videos, literally hype train attempt content . its so hard to find honest/natural creators that are clueless or professional that explains stuff
If your not already doing so I recommend doing the saplings request because you can skip all the base material tool progressions
I believe the order is Darkewood -> ghostwood -> fusewood -> Bloodwood
It may not be that but those trees are what you need to skip strait past 90% of tool progression
Also what is your opinion on spoilers for stuff like locations and loot
Also sprint jumping is less effective than you think for avoiding taint damage, all it does is consume more hunger
bags are random you might not get bloodwood which is the best one gives diamond lvl tools
I completely forgot Oulgatha existed! Not sure why they chose to rename the witch in the nearby witches hut, but it reminded me that there's some loot in there for the Xenobiologist questline
As this modpack has a heavy emphasis on Food Diversity and with your limited pool of edible food. I'd highly recommend that you don't sprint constantly except for when in danger. Sure it gets you to where you're going faster, but I see you pacing back and forth when talking and sprinting while doing it. Walking by itself shouldn't reduce your hunger or saturation according to vanilla, but I'm pretty sure Hunger Overhaul makes even standing still consume hunger. I'm just recommending to take it slow. It also draws out the episode length for sections. The TH-cam algorithm really favors long form content if you can keep your viewership up.
Playing Re-growth has been such a nostalgia trip, so glad I found this playthrough
Ep3 already? Let’s go!
This is making me want to try playing this pack myself again
Go for it! Maybe you could start out in the same biodome and see how it goes!
I'm really glad to have found a new Blightfall series, it is by far my favorite modpack, some things to note:
the mattock is a farming tool, it does not work as a shovel on sand and gravel, it only works on dirt blocks
you should set your render distance to low (I do 4 chunks) so that you minimize the taint destroying nearby forests
villages are heavily defended, it gets much worse when the guards have bows, and villagers will attack you randomly but it seems like their normal pathfinding still works so their wandering conflicts with them being hostile
also you should make a tinkers construct knapsack when you can, and a satchel, a knapsack will give you another full inventory while a satchel gives you one row, but upgrading it two times makes it another full inventory so you can have three inventories, very useful for long mining trips
finally, keep inventory is on by default so the only penalty to dying is loss of reputation, small risk of a tainted clone spawning, and having to travel back to what you were doing
If you want to, you can chop down the silverwood trees in the bio domes. The domes specifically have a bunch of ethereal blooms in the bedrock beneath them to keep them clean
I always stripped the silverwood trees at the beacons for the wood and saplings, leaving the core floating in the air. Start myself a silverwood farm while rushing blood magic translocaters to teleport the tree cores around as bloom alternatives
Looking forward to seeing your channel grow :) You're a lot of fun, and your voice is really nice. Keep up the good work!
Thankyou!!!
I think two uploads a week sounds great, but I wouldn't even mind one per week or two weeks! One upload a week is pretty standard for most channels that I watch, unless they're dedicated daily upload channels (and those usually have shorter videos.)
The algorithm knows its stuff. I liked the intro, I liked the dramatic music, I liked the action! Your editing is great too, you don't cut away too much yet the tempo is good. So don't get discouraged, you're GOOD at this!
I noticed an odd thing. I could have sworn there weren't reeds in the swamp in my playthrough, and certainly not that coral(?) thing underwater. I had to double check, but yes, my world is at version CE-3.1.1, the latest. Are you playing in an early beta or something?
I installed Better Foliage to liven up the world a bit, so I think that's where those reeds and things are coming from
I hadn't had a chance to finish the last video and here you are posting another one. I hate you for that.
My playthrough with my brother is going very well; I've completely sunk to the bottom of the Thaumcraft pit and I've been enjoying it a ton. I realized I'd never actually messed with Thaumcraft systems and they're incredible especially for the time.
I have 2 requests:
1) keep this style, it's perfect
2) discord server when? :3
I'm glad to hear that! I'll be getting into it sometime soon, probably by episode 6 or 7. And I appreciate it, for the nostalgia of this series, I'm glad to stick with the old-fashioned let's play style, since it fits. As for the discord server, I'll see about setting something up next week, as episode 4 is already recorded and edited, and is scheduled for Sunday! :)
I believe I noticed some thing? Wen you wear creasing across any Blighted areas wen your ran or walked you take damage but wen your jumping you don't. just that I wood shear mite be a good thing to verify
Supposedly it's better to just run across it than jumping, since I'm going to burn through my hunger by jumping
I kinda miss old thaumcraft, kinda want to find a good modpack to get back into it, I always remember duncan from the yogscast having his cool wizard tower and stuff
Back to back episodes? Christmas came early.
great thumbmail!
Yo keep it up this is great hope the algorithm is nice to you and just stay chill
really enjoying the content so far! dont want to see you get burnt out; if it feels more manageable one upload a week is also fine
Dude I love this series, this was my favourite Modpack back in 1.7.10, it has so much content and exploration potential and I spent countless hours in it, I hope you'll do too!
Really great Episode!
I have two pieces of advice for you:
- Please check Sapling Bags as regularly as possible. With Scout mission rewards, you get lots of Reputation
- You can craft a Longsword for it's Lunge ability. It might help travel across the land
I've been sick all day, really needed a comfy something to watch.
Also I wish my comment on last video with all the performance mods hadn't vanished, there was a mod fixing buggy boats in there.
Also waypoints are great if u find something u can't loot or explore at the moment.
Your comment vanished? I'm not aware of anything like that happening, but sometimes I seem to be getting ghost comments that show up in my notifications but aren't in the video. They usually tend to be pretty negative comments, but I don't have comment moderation on. I hope you feel better though! Maker sure to get plenty of rest and drink lots of water :)
@@itsPajamas007 Thank you, I'll try recreating it for next video if I can.
You're doing great, now taht you're carrying the book, those pop up messages about updating your material book is what unlocks new stuffs. The case is keep the book on you so it can update. Plus, great video and funny censoring sounds, may I say.
This stuff had me a bit stressed out, I've been trying not to swear 🤣
Heyy, decided to comment after a few videos. Im really enjoying this series. It’s giving a lot of nostalgia and it’s great to watch while doing something else or watch while eating breakfast! Either way, congrats on the 1k subs and can’t wait to see where your journey goes
Thank you so much! Glad you're enjoying the playthrough :)
i think the people desire modpacks that aren't just sky block and horror
I agree haha, Skyblock can be really fun as a challenge but it doesn't make for good content either, especially after like 12 years...
Congrats on 1k
Thanks!!!
The nostalgia this series is bringing
Chiken be like: "Gotta go fast"
Dome
Crusted taint
It seems that the blight has truly fallen
What a nostalgia trip, tinker's constructs, thormcraft? thrumcraft? Thumb-thumbcraft...!? All warped up in the blighted package of Blightfall.
Fun story... longsword is better for travel(and pve), rapier for pvp, and broadsword for balanced between the two, tool book would give you an idea why(hold right click to use abilities)
I'm nearing 30, and your content brings me right back to some of my favorite childhood memories. Keep on making content you enjoy, Pajamas, and we'll keep watching, Thanks for what you've made thus far!
Always loved Blightfall, is one of my favorite packs. Thaumic taint was one of my favorite things to mess with, but you had to go out of your way to get it to be a problem, and then it didn't really do anything. This pack giving it a focus always made me happy, and I do miss these quest-based modpacks. In case it doesn't get brought up later, I remember those shimmerleafs should also be able to hold back the taint in this pack, though in a very limited area compared to the silverleaf.
Lingering growing music of terror as you witness various biomes actively get consumed by The Taint, creating an ever growing sense of dread as to the missions objective and how fast its grows across so much land.
Immediately followed up by the music stopping and then immediate acacia wood discussion into [Redacted Joke] About the purple tentacle
If there is one mod addition I can personally recommend, it is Et Futurum Requiem specifically for just the modern boat backport. I hate old boats, and as soon as I tried using one in my Blightfall world, I went searching for a boat backport. It adds a bunch of other stuff too, but I disabled that personally.
I came for the nostalgia, and i subbed for how you play. You're a down to earth kinda guy in the way you explain your objectives and how you go about achieving them. It reminds me of direwolf in a way. Thanks for reminding me of younger times :)
so the plants are great for purging the taint in an area, and if memory serves there were some thaumic devices also...but...I think...taint can't cross some blocks, like wood planks? so you could lay down a barrier at the edge of the taint, then put down your collection of blooms, and slowly take over terrain? or do you have a different plan? i wonder what the pack's intended plan is.
Oh sweet lord... Yeah... Someone on a server made me mad because they obliterated all the local wildlife, flora and fauna, then were selling it on the server market for a goofy amount. So I made a thaumcraft cauldren and just dumped a full inventory of either wood or glass. Something that had several stages to boil down. Absolutely flooded his base with taint goo. Didnt create a Biome but it definitly made a problem. Spiteful but fun
spending time around taind-infested biomass (trees mostly) will have it decay, so I prefer to spend time in biomes with little biomass (ocean, desert, the ice biome) or, once I gathered a few ethereal blooms, biomes with just a few trees I can keep safe.
Tbh the epsilon dome is by far my favorite for that reason, lots of land around that's easy to cleanse and mostly safe (biomass turns into hostile taint creatures, but there's little biomass to be found in the desert), that way I can mostly stay away from biomass-dense areas until I'm ready to clean them up and minimize decay
Prepare yourself before exploring the sky island.
They will wreck you.
For me, the current mods and vanilla updates don't carry the same feel as old school, like this mod pack.
I would love to watch more packs from 1.7 era.
8:40 what i did in one of my blightfall worlds, after curing part of the terrain around my biodome, I just broke the glass
Will you be making custom Tainted mobs that naturally spawn around the map, my biggest gripe when i first played this pack was that it never really felt the Taint "reacted" to your efforts of wiping it out.
i actually never heard of this modpack or of your main channel before finding this series, but this really is just incredible to watch! you have a talent for narrating and making stuff interesting
I love this series! You're so laid back, and I love it so much. Giving us a little look into your life with the gym story is awesome, and we love to hear it!
*On the first 10 mins of the episode* Welcome to Minecraft, Mother-Clucker.
idk if anyone else has said it but you could go back and grab the curved sword template you missed out on and craft like a scimitar im pretty sure, its unique to village chests
I love this video style, just uncut raw footage, very nastalgic, keep it up❤
man this is so nostalgic. i haven’t thought about this modpack in AGES. time to start my own playthrough gain lol
i feel like the music in this episode is a bit too on the nose when it pops up, especially during the first excursion beyond the glass dome it felt like music from one of those modern minecraft horror mods
Yeah, I'm not sure if I'm going to do the music again. In the moment it felt like a good idea, but I haven't seen many people mention it. I probably could've picked better music too, but copyright-free options are pretty limited
@@itsPajamas007 Speaking of that short scene though, I loved the chicken sound censoring, that made me laugh!
@@liasprings6502 Thanks! It came to me last minute during editing so I just went and threw it on a couple times I sweared 🤣
Watching this while teching up to a QIO storage in a skyblock makes the time go by faster
wont catch me coming back to this channel with those annoying sound bites, just don't swear if you feel the need
So happy I'm here to watch a new Blightfall Let's Play.
also yes, if you want to change something with your tool it has to be fully repaired
smelt the slimy dirt to get the slime crystal needed for a tool material. looks like it's not rare though.
I hope you're having a good one!
Videos like these really make my day!
i never even heard of this modpack before but honestly its one of my favorite series’ so far
37:37 It's probably custom npc mob or some mob with nametag on it
i'd love to be part of a modded SMP!! that sounds awesome!
You should go everywhere, and get every thing, all at once.
If you press F7 you will see which blocks need to be lit up 😂
Id love to see you play some Terrafirmacraft!
Hey you have some purifier flowers in the chest
I liked the music in this video, it was not needed, but i welcome it!
Maybe if you have time try to build a canal to the ocean.
GOOD CONTENT you get a sub from me
Why are you not uploading anymore
3:51
Errrm
Finish it
say what the sigma.
Keep going man you are doing an amazing job
The music was a great touch, I say keep it up.
Im part of the first 500 subs
"look at all them chickens"
Yo Yo Can't wait to see more
Awesome antics on this one!
The having like zero food and the running back and forth while talking is just so anxiety inducing. I have zero hope I can stay watching for long as so many things just start triggering anxiety. Like the no torches in the start and the no wood on hand in a version where boats ARE going to break constantly.
The going on expedition with no real food and not even a full food bar is just pushing all the buttons of anxiety.
I hope the series turn out for you but I will likely be long gone. I just hope you relearn the basics and keep having fun though. Not trying to sound like an ah just that I might not be around to keep watching but that doesn't mean you should do badly.
Thanks for the feedback, but I definitely understand. I'm not used to the old Minecraft versions, and there's definitely a lot of mods that change the way hunger and other things work. Most people won't run into these issues because they aren't monologuing for a TH-cam video, and experienced Blightfall players know better than to do some of these things. Everyone has to start somewhere, and I'm just trying my best to be entertaining, and sometimes I get a little anxious and mess basic things up or skip over things. I'm sure I'll get better with more time, since I'm relatively new to this type of content.
TH-cam randomly recommended the first video of the series and im glad it did! You have a nice voice, it's very soothing. I would love more uploads of the series but I'd rather you do things at your pace. Ive watched other lets plays of the series and they never finish it! Heres hoping you finish the series, I'll happily watch every episode you post.
Thankyou! I had some delays with episode 4, and almost decided to cut half of it out due to me being kinda tired and quiet towards the end of the recording. I hope to see you stick around though!!!
i would suggest not messing too much with the tainted testificates, maybe you can turn them back, ala zombie villagers?
Someone mentioned that I can purify villagers later on, so that's probably a good idea!
I haven't watched the video yet, but I'm going to recommend better boats as an addition for the boats (it makes boats a bit more durable, makes them less likely to launch to orbit, and makes them drop as boat items)
also, I didn't even realise you had your 3D channel linked on your channel page, you could display that a bit more if you want to also draw attention to it.
This series takes me back to the days where I watched the Yogscast’s Shadow of Israphel series. Please keep making more episodes
I really miss those times as well, I want to do more interconnected series with a "plot" or lore that seems to go through them all, even if I'm just doing an SMP with my friends or something. Story is honestly really fun to make!
God seeing the boat without oars is fuckin WEIRD-
Ikr! It messes me up too, with especially how janky the boats act in these older versions

IT CANT BE DAMAGED
