Presented without comment: A tweet thread noting that Mojang considers mods derivative works. A rather lively thread on the subject on Minecraft forums. For the record, it's very difficult to argue from a legal sense that any mod built around Forge is not a derivative work of Minecraft. The...

So uh... now AE is not only the most powerful autocrafting mod and one of the best storage mods, but it introduced a power conversation and unification framework today. Which is sort of fair game: ME cable is the most expensive cable in the entire minecraft ecosystem. But Dayum. AE for...

But with a twist, it's a google hangout. Because streaming from a mac is a pain. https://plus.google.com/117830126779727400170/posts/CvGa8iGWymd for now. Join me if you feel so inclined, we can talk.

This is a BS thread. Fair warning to you. It's about game design, mods, minecraft, and armchair cognitive science. It is intended to be taken only about half seriously. Last night after doing some work on Resonant Rise and helping some friends with recordings, I sat down and read this thread...

So, with the 1.5.1 update looming we've got all these mods we're waiting for, and mods we're eager to work with, and mods that maybe we're happy to see leaving. Since it is a time for reflection on our packs, I thought maybe it'd be fun to talk about the mods we know we should use, but never...

I'm told this is the place to post about this. This is a thread where I post my Resonant Rise Let's Play content. Way back in the day I started the prototype for the RR modpack here, when it was just a modpack for FTBers that was more updated. Eventually it's grown into a modpack growing by...

I'm sitting here doing my weekly minecraft server upgrading and modpack maintenence for my FTB DW20 and our private custom server and the question has come up, "How long will we wait until we just say "screw it" and jump to 1.5? Actually, a pretty big sum of mods we use are converted over now...

RP2 is an awesome mod. It has beautiful textures, an interesting electricity system, and a ton of useful blocks. Its frame motors are a staple of forgecraft vidoes since time immemo(*cough*) last year. But, I'm curious! Have people come across other mods that do similar things with block...

In our brave new Ultimate worlds, we have a mix of gregtech and TE. Gregtech also has included variants of the core machines that have automation capabilities somewhat comparable to the TE machines ("Automated ____"). Given this, and that I've built a few TE-centric workshops now, I was curious...

Steve's Carts 2. You see a ton of people using the farming and treefarming carts, and they work really well. But I'm curious if anyone has actually managed to work out how to make the mining carts profitable? Because they seem very expensive and require iron resources just to move forward. And...

So we were talking in my other thread about MPS and how it'll have thermal expansion support and I decided to show off the stupid rig my current powersuit is. It got me thinking, this is a totally new armor toolchain and I am sure there are lots of silly things people can do with it. It deserves...

Firstly, let's please not devolve into a macerator vs. pulverizer argument again. Please. That said, onward: Direwolf20's pack seems to be slowly but surely drifting away from needing IC2. The big benefit of that tech tree used to be that it had flat out superior armor, tools and energy...

So last night I had a conversation with one of my server friends who finds my (recently completed!) quest for full quantum to be less than laudable." "IC2 breaks game balance, and I like Thaumcraft more." But I really wonder if Thaumcraft has a solution to mining that one or two people could...

I was watching a Let's play the other evening for another modpack where someone actually started from scratch and I saw them begin their initial smelting without building a slag furnace from factorization. "Slag Furnace!" I shouted. "Slag Furnace! Slag Furnace!" It's the earliest access to ore...

So I have this itch to sit down and write an emulator for a minecraft mod. I love RP2's idea of including a historically relevant computer and making it appropriately difficult to build, but I really (really) dislike the state of licensing and the lack of progress on that mod. I was looking...

With the advent of the most recent release of Thaumcraft, it seems like Infernal Furnaces are becoming a lot more interesting as a part of an Ore Processing line. Without delving into potential spoilers (oh man was I happy I avoided the spotlight and just researched like crazy last night, it was...

So I did some test runs last night copying my server over and trying out a migration from v4 to v5. Everything worked fine, and I did some random stuff with the updated stuff to check if there were any obvious crashers. Should I just bump my server, or is there a compelling reason to hold on...

Using Direwolf20 v4, we imported a vanilla map into the server and ran to a new Temperate Rainforest biome. After about 10 real hours of mining, we've found exactly ONE cluster of 6 diamonds under the nearby glacial biome. None in the temperate rainforest. I've 3x3'd nearly every diamond...

I was hoping to get advice on buildcraft power grid building. I'm playing on a small population server and we're trying to upgrade our power infrastructure without NEI to bootstrap things in. Fuel is plentiful, but resources are a bit tight. In that light, I built a pair of Hobbyist Steam...
