Here's a simple and not so serious one today, but a FU nonetheless. This happened less than an hour ago and my pregnancy hormones still have me feeling foolish and devastated.
Lets start with i like minecraft, even more so when modded. Ive been working on a world where i plan to set up a massive zoo system, complete with tailored exhibits for each creature. So, ive added a ton of extra animals with mods, and i knew that as i caged more and more, i would run out of inventory space FAST. So like many other modded players do, i got the backpacks mod. Let me tell you this thing is a lifesaver. Saves me so much time since i don't have to make a million trips to and from areas collecting resources for each pen.
Of course, like many players of modded worlds learn, you can never stop at just a few mods. Obviously the experience is only enjoyable when you cram your world with so many mods your poor computer that hasnt been updated since 2015 starts to cry, and thus, my world of 100+ Mods was born. Many are simple changes like clumping EXP to help with lag, or QOL things such as lumberjack based mods or the backpack mod. Of course there are bigger mods to add new creatures and biomes and furniture, but todays story will involve a very unfortunate interaction between two of the mods. Backpacks and Quark. You already know what backpacks does, so let me explain Quark. Quark is mainly a QOL mod, tweaking minor things such as how glass works and giving new tools for easier decorating, adjusting enchantment mechanics and etc. Nothing too crazy, but its a LOT of tweaks. One of these is a lava bucket interaction. In normal Minecraft, lava can delete items when you place it down and manually throw items inside, like a trashcan. Quark makes it easier by eliminating the need to place and throw stuff down, and instead you can right click to just instantly delete items in your inventory or in a chest when hovering over the lava bucket. Convenient!
Now to my FU. I didn't scour through every quark feature, so i missed the above lava bucket interaction. So imagine my surprise, and horror, when using my backpack to quickly pick up stuff from a chest, which just so happens to require... a right click... to add it to the bag, my backpack runs out of space, and in my spammy click-y haste, i proceed to delete the backpack and all its contents the second i right click the lava bucket. The backpack, which is diamond upgraded (so it can hold tons more items than usual), FULL of my valuables such as diamonds, enchanted books, and other expensive loot that took me hours to collect during my most recent exploration. Let me add this took place in the span of literally a second, so i had no time to react or read the tiny pop up that tells you to "shift click to trash item" until it was far too late and the bag was gone. So, hours of work and rare loot was gone, and as ive already had a rough day due to my pregnancy, i did what any sane person would do.
I sobbed, desperately searched for a fix, found none (I have no saved backups, like a fool, and i didn't wanna cheat stuff in, since i wasn't 100% sure exact values of stuff i had), and now here i am, spreading the word to reddit in hopes some people get a nice chuckle of my misfortune, or hopefully, learn from my lesson. Read your mods! (Or just take things slow, but aint nobody got time for that. ;P )
TL;DR: Didn't read mods in full, deleted hours of work due to certain mod interactions. Cant recover it because i didn't make any backups.
