...Nuclear District said it's final goodbye. On August 21, 2016, Nuclear District closed it's doors forever. It was a new start for Chaotic United, but also a sad end to another. In a world before the new CU was even an idea, Nuclear District was the only future for the old community. CU was under the borderline corrupt ownership of Killerteddy, and it was slowly dying off. With lack of evolution, lack of funds, and other struggles due to the mishandling of CU, the team made the choice to break away and bring as many people from CU as possible over to a new home - Nuclear District. Atomicbeast101, Nik, Alex, Kendev, ntx2, and a long list of other people set out to make a superior, healthier community to escape the thumb of the dying Chaotic United. They had a bold vision, and the team to pull it off. And for a while, they did. As time went on, the team grew tired and slowly, they started to move on from managing online communities and went on to pursue other passions. Many of them had been doing it since 2012 - and were in the process of entering a new stage of life. They wanted to move on with life. In 2016, they made the decision to shut ND down - and if the new CU hadn't popped up in late 2014, that would've been the end to the story. A once great and lively community, gone out with a mere whimper and a fraction of the members it once had. That would have been the end to the CU story. Thankfully, that's not what happened. The new CU did exist, and as a result, we can carry the torch. The fire they lit all the way back in 2011 and carried forward until 2016 didn't die off in 2016 - the torch was passed to a new generation. A new group of people - faces old and new - to carry forward the legacy of the old Chaotic United, and Nuclear District. This year, we went the extra mile to do just that. Instead of just a simple remembrance post, we wanted to truly honor Nuclear District and all it stood for. As those of you around back when the ND forums upgraded to IPB4, you've noticed that with the slow trickle of old themes being reintroduced, a couple themes were absent - the old Nuclear District themes. Today, we are proud to announce that those themes have been reintroduced! The two themes are named District One and ND 2015 - Dark Theme. District One is the original theme used by Nuclear District at the very start, and ND 2015 - Dark Theme is the modernized variant of that theme that was in use around the time that CU and ND first merged. They look and work just as you'd expect - District One even has it's color picker to let you recolor the theme to your liking. Just for today, we've set District One as the site-wide default. The default look will return automatically tomorrow - if you don't want to wait, however, you can go back to the default theme by going to the Theme menu at the bottom of the page and choosing Chaotic United - 2016 (Default). You can alternatively pick District One or ND 2015 - Dark Theme at any point later through this same theme menu. Along with those two forum themes, we also wanted to introduce another history piece. With the permission of Nuke, we've introduced a new website section - The Nuclear District Archive. This archive serves as a hub for every single ND website iteration. We've made some minor changes to remove broken links and such, but aside from that everything is exactly as it was. The only exception to that is the homepage for ND 2015 v2, which relied on ND's forums for recent announcement data. Beyond that though, everything is intact. You can check the archive out by clicking here. Before we end off this post, let's revisit a few ND forum topics, shall we? First off, we have an old favorite - from the very beginning of ND, ntx2 (The Tastiest Tickles) created a topic explaining the new community creation and all those juicy details. You can check it out at https://chaoticunited.net/forums/topic/411-new-community-aka-what-happened/ Next up, we have a topic that some of you may not have even known was from the ND era - The Below Game. It was originally created by Nakudan, on the ND forums. You can check it out at https://chaoticunited.net/forums/topic/781-the-below-game/ Time to reminisce about the creation of the 2015 theme we just introduced! This is the topic that Kendev posted when the original theme was first released to the public. Let the memories flood back by clicking over to https://chaoticunited.net/forums/topic/1351-nd-updates-forum-stuff-and-more/ And of course, who could forget back when ND and CU first merged, this topic was made on both the CU and ND forums. The ND version can be found at https://chaoticunited.net/forums/topic/1375-nucleardistrict-chaoticunited-merger/. Side note, you don't know how long I was waiting for a reason to use the "It's happening" gif. You can also see Nakudan being very leery of the whole ordeal One more thing - for those unaware, most of the active ND users at the time of it's closure can be found on the NARA Discord server. It was created with the goal of keeping the community that ND had together without the need to maintain a website or manage a community or any of that. You can join them by clicking over to https://discord.me/nara. While Nuclear District may have shut down, its book closed, it's memory has not faded from our memory. Their impact and legacy continues to live on in Chaotic United to this day - and for all the days and months and years to come. Their impact has been massive, and if Nuclear District never came to be, we wouldn't have made it to where we are today. To all of those who staffed at Nuclear District: Thank you. Your work for all those years set the stage for a new era to begin. You set the playing field for CU's story to continue, and for all that you've done, we make it our promise to you that you will never be forgotten. The contributions and work of Nuclear District's staff were nothing short of exceptional. We will continue to honor them and remember them as we move forward, to never forget what they have done for all of us. Stay Nuclear, my friends. - The Chaotic United Team Special Thanks to the NuclearDistrict Team Atomicbeast101, Alex, Nik, ntx2, 16dbaxter, Falkerz, Spencer, Kendev, Bobbie_, LaughedSnail, KooladeCaprisun, ZacSkitlez, Em_Aru, DrummerWiz, ilovecars333

Hey, everybody! Today we want to go into detail on some of the changes and improvements we've made to Brink of Chaos as of late! First of all, we now have a custom crafting ability implemented. We've done this to make certain items obtainable due to either not having a recipe at all, or due to things just being broken. So far, we've enabled the Activated Division Sigil, Miniature Green Heart, and Green Health Canister through this method. Any future custom recipes (and the ones we have currently) will be placed on a topic we made the other day, found here. Additionally, today we've implemented an EMC toplist! Now, you can see who has the most (or least) EMC on the server. Check it out at: https://chaoticunited.net/games/minecraft-modded/emc_toplist.html Lastly, if you've been living under a rock, we did a map reset for modded MC just a few days ago - including marriages, EMC, and everything else. We did this in order to use a new terrain generator as well as freshen up the experience for everyone. We hope you guys are excited for some of the new stuff with Brink of Chaos! See you folks soon when we hopefully have more news on 1.13

* Fix main menu backgrounds not displaying

All of these recipes will only work in a Crafting Table. They will NOT work in a Crafting Station or other crafting area. As of Brink of Chaos 1.8.4, a mod called MineTweaker was implemented. There are some items within the modpack that simply don't have recipes, or in the case of the Division Sigil, doesn't have a functioning means of obtaining. We have implemented some custom recipes to resolve this issue. This topic will hold a list of any and all custom recipes we have created. Miniature Green Heart - Tinkers Construct (Shapeless) Place a Miniature Yellow Heart and a Miniature Red Heart in a crafting table to get one Miniature Green Heart. Miniature Green Heart - Tinkers Construct (Shapeless) Place a Miniature Green Heart, Eye of Ender (x2), and an Empty Canister in a crafting table to get one Green Heart Canister. Division Sigil, Active - Extra Utilities (Shaped) Place 4 redstone, an Enchantment Table, a block of Obsidian, a Block of Coal, a Diamond Sword, and a Diamond Block in a Crafting Table as shown above to get an Activated Division Sigil with 256 uses. Division Sigil, Stabilized - Extra Utilities (Shaped) Place 3 Red Matter Blocks, 2 Dark Matter Blocks, Grass, Blaze Powder, a Splash Potion of Leaping (Jump Boost II, 1:07), and the wait music disc in a Crafting Table as shown above to get a Stabilized Division Sigil. Water, Flowing - Minecraft (Shaped) Place 7 Stone and 1 Water Bucket into a Crafting Table to get 8 Flowing Water (an empty bucket will be returned). Water, Still - Minecraft (Shaped) Place 7 Stone, 1 Potion of Slowness (Slowness, 1:30) and 1 Water Bucket into a Crafting Table to get 8 Still Water (an empty bucket and glass bottle will be returned).
