I've seen this crop up a few times and no-one seems to answer it, instead just stating that they like it (less than helpful), so decided to have a dig around the modpacks that do it as it's been annoying me no end since it started appearing in packs. Looks like it's ttCore that adds it and you...

Highlands should get more love - it's my favourite as well out of all of the biome mods and usually gets added into packs I use, custom or otherwise.

probably due to there not being a 1.5.x version of the modpacks and as I understand it CC 1.52 requires Minecraft 1.5.1

As long as they're enabled in the config (don't know differences between the various packs where EXBL is concerned) then they have the same vibrant green grass as a normal jungle but the trees are oak (there may be the odd birch but can't remember) with vines etc. I've never figured out how the...

If I remember correctly, quicksand is found in the mini-jungle biome added by EXBL rather than vanilla jungles - usually in 3x2(x2?) rectangles dotted all over the place.

In a recent SMP video by DW20 he used a block that seems to be currently in development for Factorization which was a steam turbine type doobrie - could take steam in from railcraft and convert it into FZ power. Shame there doesn't seem to be a timescale on the next release of FZ but it's good...

I found it quite amusing that Etho was the one that pushed for GT hardmode for the Mindcrack setup and has hardly used it - he's such a troll ;)

If I remember correctly, Forge has native support for high res texture packs now but custom water & lava textures didn't seem to get covered by it from what little testing I've done. I wasn't aware there were high res textures built into it but I don't keep up with all the developments of it so...

Hmm - oh well, could have sworn I had seen the flame flicker of a spawner when I've found them and gone to open the chest, but I'm maybe just remembering from when they were first introduced and there was a pigman spawner there.

Not sure how it's done but I think there might be a wisp spawner in the middle of the obsidian totem 'structures' that were added to Thaumcraft in one of the 3.02 updates (iirc). They started off spawning pigmen when they were first introduced but in one of the further updates that seemed to...

IGN: mutopian Age: 41 Do you understand and accept the rules?: Aye Aye Sir! Why do you wish to join Unioncraft?: Looking for a server with a small community of like minded people, with a bit of life experience behind them, to enjoy the challenges of the mindcrack pack with.

If you're getting Twilight Forest biomes appearing in the overworld then it means there's a conflict in biome ID's between Biomes O'Plenty and Twilight Forest. I think I had a similar issue when I was putting together a custom mod set up in MultiMC and that's where the problem was. I don't know...

I could be wrong but I'd hazard a guess at ExtraBiomesRPG, which TDWP_FTW authored as an addon to EBXL and added 'fantasy' biomes to the mix. It's now a completely seperate mod called Biomes O'Plenty which adds both 'normal' and 'fantasy' biome types.

Noticed this on the Mindcrack pack as well and I've found that I have to plant corn onto "well irrigated" soil before the seed takes.
