    What Do You Think the Future of Minecraft Is?

    IMO, and this was once stated as the end-goal in the near term, Microsoft/Mojang is slowly consolidating the features of Java Minecraft (JMC) and C++ Minecraft (CMC in this post. Also known as Win10 MC, MCPE and Bedrock). The goal I've seen is to get to the point where both JMC and CMC have...

    stoneblock question

    No, this is the correct place... I just started Stoneblock myself. I've restarted once, because after getting to the point where I completed the Tinkers' tables I had a stack of Black Lotuses (Loti?) and a lot of cosmetic BS that is useless... In a solo game who is going to see it? I don't...

    Help me please

    I don't know... I don't play Beyond. I was just saying that a certain action may be possible in a pack then not be possible after an update.

    Help me please

    In some packs it's possible to melt items in Tinkers' Construct (not sure about other mods), others it's configured not to allow such processing. In addition, the device to be re-smelted may have to be 100% repaired or it won't smelt. This is why people need to provide this info about which...

    Help me build my next pack: VR Edition

    I never buy used computer equipment... I did that once, $250 for a 20MB hard drive in the good ole' days. It never worked and I never found those guys at a computer swap meet again. In the case of a Video card I refuse to help a potential crypto-miner recoup their investment after they made...

    Help me build my next pack: VR Edition

    The "reveal" price (lower) was for the unbinned chips, and is currently available from 3rd parties. The higher priced cards have binned chips and are only available from Nvidia at this time. Having said that, this morning (9/22) I watched videos from 3 of the guys I follow on YouTube...

    Help me build my next pack: VR Edition

    Yeah, I feel the same about the RTX GPUs... I hope early adaptors enjoy the two games that will be the only support for the new features in the next year or so... The price thing wasn't Jacked, though; You can only get the 'binned' chip overclock ability direct from Nvidia right now, hence the...

    Out of curiosity, which video card did you settle on and was the price anywhere near normal? :D

    The original post is 2 years old... Maybe things have changed a bit since then?

    Request What are the cool, progression based packs that aren't expert?

    I might also add that if you feel the 'expert' packs a bit difficult (I find them boring myself) there is also a 'normal' mode Enigmatica 2. Also a Skyblock version as well. These are 3 separate packs, so make sure to get the one you want before clicking Install. :D

    What modpack for Laptop

    The specifics in my post only apply to new AMD APUs as far as I know... Your mileage with Intel may differ. Before they started putting real GPUs in laptops the maximum ram usage by Integrated graphics was usually 250-512 MB, fine for business apps or even video but not nearly enough for...

    What modpack for Laptop

    You may also have to go in and limit the amount of memory your on-board GPU can use as well. I have a similar setup, AMD Ryzen GPU w/Vega Graphics and 8GB DDR4. The minimum ram I can set for GPU use is 1 or 2GB. That means I only have a total of 6-7GB available for programs, including the OS...

    Sev-tech is also very far from being a "normal" pack, some mods being heavily modified from what their developers originally created.

    If you are talking about versions of the tools made by Tinker's Construct then yes. "Vanilla" tools, made on a crafting table are not repairable. If you make a pick using the tool rod, binding and pick head you can repair it on a Tool Station by putting the tool in the center and the material...

    Old player looking for new pack to pick up

    I'd go with Direwolf20 for several reasons: 1). Direwolf20 is considered a "Kitchen Sink" pack, meaning you aren't tied to one specific way to do things. Also mod customization is at a minimum to leave each mod as original as possible. Many of the custom packs have extensive mod customization...

    Looking for people to join modded server project with custom gamemodes - Mindless Mining

    You posted on Friday. The past weekend+ (Sat, Sun ,Mon and some even get half of Friday) in the USA happened to be the last 3-day holiday of the summer so many people are out of town (I make no alibis for other regions :D ) I didn't even see this post until today despite being home all weekend...

    You don't mention what version of Tinker's you use but for at least 2 versions you have to use the Tool Station to perform repairs... That or use "Sharpening Kits" from Tinkers to repair on a regular crafting table. Sharpening kits can be used to artificially boost the "mining level" of a...

    That changed a couple of versions ago... Now you have to have either a Tool Station (crafting table + blank mold pattern) or use "Sharpening Kits" (made with a mold in the smelter) This post also belongs in "Ask a simple question, get a simple answer", under the "General chat" thread.

    I think that's Mojang's SOP... remember back to 1.7 when they introduced using names for blocks? there was a two version transition. 1.6 == ID only; 1.7 == ID + Name; 1.8 == Name only. "Spectate Mode" was introduced in 1.11 I think, as option 3 (I just didn't remember the number as I don't do...
