[General] Modpacks are starting to overload limits

Post by EmperorZelos »

With the increase of of larger modpacks and dynamic ones at that, the amount of recipes and entities in general is increasing and I would suggest that this limit of 255 is increased.

Not as a default thing, I understand that it can be processor, memory etc heavy to do it. But I would suggest having it as an option that a player has to actively opt into, so they can opt for 8 bits, 9 bits or 10 bits of recipes. That way they can create any amount of modpacks they want. Of course a warning of possible consequences could be good.

I have a screenshot that says otherwise. Although the 225 doesn't seem accurate after reducing the mods just enough to run. Even still, I think we need more space for recipes.

Your screenshot says "recipe-category" ... there are 8 categories in vanilla so 255 seemed to be decent limit, but the limit was already increased to 65535 for 0.16.
