Just you bloody wait for this mod...Sounds very cool, I will have to watch for it.
Although I personally prefer Protoss over Zerg.
What's new in modded minecraft today?

Ditto.
Terran = Mech
Protoss = Tech
Zerg = Bleck !
Personally not a big fan of the oozing, gooey, popping, poisonous stuff.
I am so sorry for not giving a thank you. So thank you very much for the spotlight. I am sorry that I no screen shots or actual development to show besides the floor plans. I hope to not disappoint
I've read over a few of the ideas for the mod, and I have to say that if it's pulled off correctly it could easily become one of my favorite mods.
Thank you for the spotlight, Yusunoha, i still don't deserve it given that my mod is still just concept and a couple not very meaningful screenshots.
Said that i'm also looking forward to other people's works.
no problem. in my opinion new mods could really use the spotlight so they can quickly grow into bigger and better mods from the feedback given from the community
your guide is currently *hands down* the best guide for Blood Magic. and just looking at how detailed you've explained parts of the mod deserves a sticky in my opinion
Spacetoad tweeted a nifty picture of what hes been working on for Buildcraft.
"Finishing the week end with the implementation of robot docking stations..."
And Prog (ti c and ftb launcher dev) tweeted "soo tcon & tmech for 1.7.2 now compiles
spacetoad really loves those robots doesn't he?
aaaaaaand I forgot something. this is what's nice about this topic, anyone can contribute information to this topic
on that note, for those new mod developers, if you're looking for a bit of spotlight for a new mod or concept you're working on, feel free to also make a post in this topic aswell, because ANYONE can contribute information to this topic, so mod developers aswell
I usually only check websites, so I missed this update.
but I did saw this tweet...
Erogenous Beef said:WIP new reactor GUI. Tooltips on everything, should help solve some of the "wtf does this do?" problems
Also... It's my birthday /thread #biggestnewsoftheyear
and with that, here's another new "what's new in modded world today?"
starting of with, Soul Shards. a mod developer named @Moze_Intel has decided to bring back the glory of Soul Shards 1 to 1.6.4
many people loved how Soul Shards 1 worked, but don't like the current Soul Shards 2. so Moze_Intel took the work to release Soul Shards: Reborn
if you're interested in this mod, just click the link to get to his minecraftforum topic
next up, a little bit of information about a new technic pack. now you may think, does this belong here on the FTB forum?
my short answer: yes. and the reason for that is because this pack is created as a way of donating to child's play.
it was released last friday, and you could donate money to get early access to the modpack. the modpack has been released yesterday for the rest of the public
interested in how much money was raised? just click this link for the Attack of the B-Team modpack for more information
and now an update to Thaumic Tinkerer, under the new maintaining developers @pixlepix and @nekosune
this update brings a few new functions and even a turtle to Thaumic Tinkerer
nowadays everyone is using it, I'm talking about WAILA, which has also received a new update by ProfMobius
and now some JourneyMap time. it seems Journeymap now has 2 versions of this mod, Fairplay and Unlimited
fairplay is for those wanting to just have a map, and unlimited if for those wanting more
and lastly, @Vazkii showing us some more sneak peaks from Botania
EDIT:
it seems @immibis snuck in a new mod while I wasn't watching
it's called Dark Panels and it may be something that some people have been looking for

Moze_Intel said:SOUL SHARDS: REBORN
What is the mod about?
This mod is completely based off the original Soul Shard 1 mod, that never got ported to 1.6.4 (it got an update and was released as Soul Shards 2, link here http://www.minecraft...014/page__st__0), however, NONE of the code was copied (I only used the textures, I am no artist)
All credit for the mod idea goes to the original mod author.If you are not familiar with the original mod mechanics, the basic concept is allowing the player to legitimately get mob spawners, by killing tons of mobs.
How do I start with the mod?Obviously, getting mob spawners is not going to be an easy task. Firstly, you need the following items:
1 Diamond
1 Glowstone Block
4 Netherrack
8 End stone
Secondly, you need to create a pattern in the world with the blocks, as shown in the picture.
Finally, right click the middle glowstone block with the diamond in your hand. The diamond and glowstone will be consumed, and you will have your first Soul Shard!
Ok, I got my soul shard, now what?Well, now the fun part starts! Firstly you need to craft a soul cage. If you do not have NEI, the recipe is 8 iron bars in the outer ring of the crafting table. If you try to insert an emtpy soul shard in the cage, it will not work. You need to kill something, to bind the creatures soul to your shard (make sure you have the soul shard in your hotbar, otherwise it will not register the kill). Once you have bound a soul to your shard, THERE IS NO GOING BACK. That shard will be bound forever to that specific soul type (example: the first kill you got with the shard was a creeper: if you kill anything else, it will not advance the shard). If you are new to the mod, I highly suggest reading the next couple of spoilers.
Advancing the ShardNow that you have your shard and have bound a creatures soul to it, you have to level it up; I warned you, getting spawners will not be an easy task. A soul shard has 5 tiers: the tiers are determined by the amount of kills the shard has. Here is a complete description of what each tier allows you to do.
Tier 0Useless, you need at least tier 1!
Tier 1Now you're getting somewhere! Tier 1 requires 64 kills, and allows for the most basic of spawners, with the following attributes:
- Spawns 2 mobs at a time, with a cooldown of 20 seconds
- Requires a player to be within 16 blocks of the spawner
- Follows vanilla spawn rules (example, a creeper will ONLY spawn at night at will not spawn in the light)
- Does not respond to a redstone signal.
Tier 2
Tier 2 requires 128 kills, and has the same properties of tier 1, but Mobs will spawn 4at a time, with a cooldown of 10 seconds.
Tier 3Tier 3 requires 256 kills. The differences with the previous tier are that Mobs will spawn 4 at a time, with a cooldown of 5 seconds, and the player is not required to be close to the spawner.
Tier 4Tier 4 requires 512 kills (starting to get the pattern?). The only difference with tier 3 is that Mobs can spawn in other dimension that are non - native to them (example, an enderman can spawn in the overwolrd as well as in the nether and the end.
Tier 5Congratulations! You actually killed a whopping 1024 mobs! You are rewarded with a spawner capable of spawning 6 mobs at a time, with a cooldown of 2 seconds, that completely ignores vanilla spawn rules, and is activated by redstone! (the redstone must be indirectly supplied by and adjacent block)
If you still are unclear on some mechanics, just experiment with the mod and have fun!
Miscellaneous InfoJust some random info you might want to know.
- To help with the daunting 1024 kills task, you can get the Soul Stealer enchant, adding 1 extra soul to your kills per level of the enchantment.
- In the config, you can set the soul shards to only accept the souls of peaceful mobs and blacklist entities.
- If you break a soul cage with a soul shard in it, you will be returned a shard with the amount of kills rounded to the lowest of the shards tier (if that made no sense: if you brake a cage with a tier 1 shard in it that has 72 kills, you will be returned a soul shard with 64 kills)
- All creatures spawned from a soul cage do not count towards levelling up your shard.
- You can absorb a vanilla mob spawner by right clicking on it with a soul shard (the spawner's mob must be the same as your shard's mob type), and your shard's tier will be increased by 1.
- The max amount of kills a shard can hold is 1024
Installation
1) Make sure you have the latest 1.6.4 Forge installed (find it here: http://files.minecraftforge.net/)
2) Download the latest version of the mod:
3) Move the file to your mods folder in the minecraft directory
4) Enjoy!
Please note that this mod is in early alpha: bugs can occur.
My mod is Open Source on GitHub! That means you can see how it works, and blame me for how stupid my code is / looks or how I messed something up. Here is the link:

>> Download <<
Inspired by the title of this thread, I present DARK PANELS!
They're like solar panels, but their top face must be exposed to complete darkness. If not, they will catch fire. Yes, this is simultaneously pointless and OP.

Quite amusing, I've retextured the Taint to be organic tendrils. Makes it look like an alien invasion going on.
On a scale of potted plants to tupperware, I'd say he's somewhere between pet rocks and fezzes, close to pinewood veneers.
LMAO @immibis did you seriously make Dark Solar Panels? Are you telling me I can shove these into a Dark Room and have constant power? Yes please!
I just received intel mentioning that today is the birthday of our very own @VikeStep
come on people, hype it up and wish him a great birthday!!

This thread is so wrong. So, so wrong.
edit: oh right news
Totemic multiblocks now work, according to Pokefenn
Metallurgy bees was released in alpha state, if you wanna play around with it https://t.co/27PkZiwXId
Atum was also released in alpha state, https://t.co/YZyn78yxA8
And we have/had a week of nothing http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/a-week-of-nothing.40376/
Any news on the Ender quarry from Extra Utilities?
He posted the recipe on twitter, and Soaryn showed it on stream.
https://twitter.com/Extra_Utilities/status/427163227315658752/photo/1
It seems to go by colums, chunk by chunk from bottom to top.
To make it work, you have to make a box with fences, place the ender quarry somewhere in the box of fences, then apply power.
it replaces everything inside the fences with dirt. not leaving big holes in the world.

It's a simple way to mark an area. Plus, this will be far better than normal quarries, as it will make FAR less lag, and no gaping hole, just a lot of dirt. Which would become grass anyway.
But this just makes me think. Is it right for mod authors to try and do one better than each other? Don't get me wrong, it causes many better mods, but is it right to take action to make large aspects of a mod useless? If if unintentional?
I don't know, but if the quarry is like all of Extra Utilities and generates less lag I will definitely use it, because lately I don't know why, but I've been getting a lot of it. Also, it would be less annoying to place three landmarks than a really large box of fences. And I'm guessing the quarry will need Ender Pearls which is arguably more annoying to obtain early game than diamonds. Also, we don't really know the range of the device either which would also be a deciding factor to utility.
Just.... JUST WHY?!?!?![DOUBLEPOST=1391542733][/DOUBLEPOST]
Hopefully Me and Solomon can pull it of correctly
.Not a bad thing, IMHO. The old BC quarry is a bit OP in today's modded MC ecosystem. It's far easier (now) to get early-game power and early-game sorting and logistics than it was back when the quarry was introduced.
But, I do agree the fences are not as simple to use as the landmarks. Spacetoad did some excellent work in 2011 and 2012 that is still leading-edge today. The landmarks and the quarry "robot" are among them.
