Hey guys, so it has come to my attention that there are people out there who want to get into mod pack development, but have no idea how to use Minetweaker and Modtweaker. So I come to them with this thread. Every few days I will be uploading a new video on Modtweaker (first video will be Minetweaker) and how to use it to add/remove recipes to mods that Modtweaker supports.
Obviously, I am no expert, I didn't write the code, so in my videos I may miss something, or skip over other things (such as NBT tags, I may come back to them at a later date), so if you watch a video and see that I skip over something/miss something, please do comment and say so, also I will say in the videos if I don't know something, and if you watching this know what it is I don't, please do comment either on this thread or the videos with the correct code. Let's try and get some balanced mod packs out there!
Currently covered mods:
Vanilla - Shapeless crafting (add/remove recipes), Shaped crafting (add/remove), Furnace (add/remove), Furnace fuel (add/remove)
Blood Magic - Altar (add/remove recipes), Alchemic Chemistry Set (add/remove), Ritual of Binding (add... and sorta remove)

Any feedback is greatly appreciated, as I said this is supposed to benefit the community, so if there is anything I missed please do tell me, so I can make sure that people who watch these as their main way of learning understand, know how to do the other stuff I miss.
Just for those wondering why I am doing this:

Just for those wondering why I am doing this:
Some people can't read that well, and text based tutorials, which is what Minetweaker and Modtweaker offer, sometime cannot help those who have difficulty reading, and therefore a video based tutorial can be more helpful.
Also, I find video based tutorials better. This is because I can follow along at my own speed, do as they do, tinker as they tinker, and providing the person doing the tutorial explains things, at least a little bit, it is easy to see where you go wrong.
Another thing I do is tend not to cut out derps in my videos, this is so those who are watching can see troubleshooting in action, as I sometimes spend 10 minutes looking for a blatantly obvious problem, but once you see someone else do find an issue, you will see how they troubleshoot, and maybe do it yourself.
And the final reason as to why I am posting it here. A few people on the FTB forums seem to have issues with Minetweaker, and Modtweaker, so it's a good idea to post the videos where they will see them
