    What would you like to see in a Magic Mod?

    What I'd like to see...? Careful what you ask for... What I'd like to see is a magical continuum of themed Magic Circles... A framework for writing magical mods, as an Open Mod that would encourage and facilitate content contribution from other coders and from non-coders/users. It would...

    FTB - Curse Update

    The irony is that this statement is made in a context with a game that is ported cross-platform about a loader that is basically just supposed to fetch and install mods for it that are also ported cross platform. What features above and beyond fetching files and copying them to a folder are...

    [Official] We Need Your Help - Launcher Ideas

    Suggestion for the v2 launcher... a System Status Checkup that would collect basic system information like CPU/cores, RAM, Java version/update, and then display small icons ( green, yellow, red?) next to each modpack for those most likely to be suitable for the system in use, or perhaps a...

    Too many Diamonds in Unleashed

    Complaining that Unleashed has to many diamonds available in the ground is like complaining that there are too many loaves of bread in dungeon chests. Diamond ore is a trivial source of diamonds in the Unleashed modpack.

    Shard Gaming (AKA DaddyCheese) Rage Quits?

    Many thanks. Update: It appears as though ColoCrossing is not without blame in this mess. Shard, for all of its own guilt, may actually be telling the truth about ColoCrossing pulling the plug. The European portion of Shard's services remained up and allowed folks to clear out their files. It...

    Shard Gaming (AKA DaddyCheese) Rage Quits?

    Shard Gaming (formerly DaddyCheese) was a GSP catering to, among others, both vanilla. Bukkit, and Forge/FTB server hosting as well as VDS systems suitable for large, heavily modded games... like FTB.. If their own claims are to be believed they hosted something just short of 4000 servers. What...

    Shard Gaming (AKA DaddyCheese) Rage Quits?

    If you had an account on Shard Gaming (formerly known as DaddyCheese) you likely received a cryptic email from an accountancy firm today, 20131012 at about 20:00 (UT) or thereabout. It read something like this... Baverstocks is an accountancy firm which appears to specialize in tax...

    FTB Server keep crashing?

    This is a pointless thread. When you find the solution to your posted problem, whether it is from some other source or you just figure out that you did something wrong... Don't post "Found the solution..." Post the solution, even if that means posting your own user error... You've caused...

    More news about FTB's Future. (Important announcement)

    I don't think anyone reasonable could have a serious problem with this solution. I think that modpack/launcher promoters (who shall remain nameless... forevermore) have done a certain amount to poison the well a bit, but this is a needful thing and it's being done above-board. Thanks for the...

    Get rid of many mobs quickly?

    I suppose you have a good point. I guess I'm not thinking in terms of a server with a vast multitude of users. /butcher also has some limitations as well as being a nice feature. It presumes that lag allows commands to be entered. What brought me here (aside from Google) was that an MFR...

    Get rid of many mobs quickly?

    This is a bit of a necro, but there is no real answer given to this question and it's a fairly common annoyance/issue. This does not require Forge Essentials or any other mod. It is a Vanilla solution. It will still work even if the game is so badly lagged out that it isn't possible to enter...

    Important - For Users of Direwolf20_1_5 Modpack - Urgent feedback needed.

    Consistency is at the heart of a good modpack. Keeping it consistent makes it less likely that it will break in the future... Just a thought... If the patch is reasonably easy, could both be done, a patch and proper fix, with the understanding that the patch would not be further updated...

    Error connecting to a Server

    Having taken a bit of time to add the configs to a spreadsheet I can say two things with certainty. 1) The claim that this "error" is only ever caused by mismatched configs and/or ID conflicts is bullshit. 2) I have exactly two potential ID conflicts generated by the default modpack... IC2 tin...

    Error connecting to a Server

    My system: (XP-64) The error originally occurred using jre1.7.0 u11 The error is still present using jre1.7.0 u13 jfx2.1.1 was also present... updating to jfx2.2.5 didn't help jre1.7.0 u9 was also present in %appdata% but should not have been the version under which it was running. Update 11 is...

    Error connecting to a Server

    This error doesn't appear to be that simple... or rather it appears to be so simple and so general that the error itself is unhelpful. No, mismatched configs do not appear to be the only possible cause or the actual conflict is unreported. My server configs were copied from single player game...
