    From what I saw on a live stream last night, dig below Y level 4.

    Revelations - vein mining options?

    You could easily just add it to the pack if you use the Curse launcher. If Vein Miner isn't available for that version of MC then look for Ore Excavator... It's an almost identical plugin (and used in newer packs) with a few more configurable options, such as having to have at least a certain...

    Most Over Powered Mods in All of Minecraft

    I say Forge is the most OP. Without that there wouldn't nearly as many packs with OP mods... or many packs at all for that matter :rolleyes: :)

    Problem Lag and Crashing when I meet requirements

    You probably need more ram. Basically 4GB was ok for ver. 1.7.10 packs. 1.12.2 packs need closer to 6-8GB to run properly. I run my stuff with about 7GB and rarely see less than 100fps. You might try allocating 6GB but that might not work depending on your OS ram requirements... You still...

    Pipes. Again.

    I'd hardly call 3 weeks a necro... more like oversleeping a couple of hours compared to some of the gnarly necro's (3+ years) I've seen here :D

    Problem Now with fps 1.7.10

    In addition, the rendering engine was changed in 1.8 to be more efficient (they used to render all blocks down to bedrock, whether the player could see them or not. Now they only render the blocks that can be 'physically seen). 1.7 packs will generally have lower FPS than packs after 1.10.

    Why do you keep playing a world?

    I don't keep playing a world... I delete everything whenever there's a minor update because I was bitten really hard several years ago when we still had static block IDs :D Also, I have a bit of a procedural focus. I have more fun figuring out how to get to a certain point in the least amount...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    What is your RAM allocation? 1.7.10 packs mostly ran fine with a 4GB allocation, but since 1.10 or 1.11 packs run better with 6-8GB. I run Direwolf20, Stoneblock, Sky Adventures and a "Vanilla" setup to check 1.13 releases and 1.14 Snapshots using a 7GB allocation with steady 120FPS on all...

    Sorry about that... DW20 is playing Tema's pack on livestream, Thursdays and Sundays... Not a "Let's Play" on Youtube. That's probably why it's so fun to see him cracking up over the "oddities" of Ultimate Alchemy. :D

    Refined Storage Crafting Question

    The binding component, at least in StoneBlock is a Slime-ball in the center with a piece of String on each side to get 8 binders. It may differ in the mod's original form.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Tema released a new pack called "Ultimate Alchemy" about a week ago that seems to turn modding on it's head... It's a sky block where you start out with infinite wood and cobble and apparently the end-goal is to craft clay. I haven't tried it yet but DW20 started a game last Sunday and was...

    Videos mean nothing if they are from older versions and you are playing a new one or vice versa... Mods can completely change from version to version, and even in the same version if the pack is heavily customized.

    Craftersland servers is a scam DONT pay reel money there

    Yeah, but most other games provide methods of protection/revenge to the victim. IMO only cowards and children like the advantages gained playing PvP in a PvE game.

    Request Coming back in after a while, looking for modpack recommendations.

    Enigmatic 2 actually has 3 separate versions: Normal, Expert and Skyblock. Be sure you grab the correct one.

    1.14 update in progress

    Look at it this way... Eventually you WILL have to deal with the new Vanilla realities as Forge and Mod creators start dealing with newer MC versions... :D

    Request Sky Adventures

    Most modern packs (1.12) need about 6GB allocated, but that only leaves 2GB for all the important system functions like the OS and Java to run. My desktop has 16GB and I allocate between 6 and 7GB to run at 120FPS+... I also have a video card that supplies it's own 6GB ram. If you do not have...

    Didn't Vanilla 1.12 allow you to use an elytra and rockets together? Or is that 1.13?

    StoneBlock Save cant' be found?

    Stoneblock doesn't seem to do well with recovery. About a week ago we had power 'glitches' on successive days, Saturday and Sunday. In both cases I was playing Stoneblock, and in both cases all that remained of each world was the Journey map. The rest of the world just reset itself to ground...

    Can't Remember a few good modpacks I played on the old FTB launcher.

    The original post was in April of 2017, which would place the packs the poster was talking about in 2015 to 2016. Wouldn't that place the packs in question at about Minecraft version 1.5 or 1.6? maybe even 1.4?

    Low fps on good pc (i already posted one but didnt help)

    Just telling Java to use the GPU doesn't stop the Integrated chip from stealing memory from the system or performing all the system tasks (disk reads, etc.), slowing everything down. The ONLY way to be sure that your performance GPU gets all the resources that should be available to it is to...
