    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    FtB is learning to not mention Work-in-Progress packs until they are nearly ready to release... Probably to avoid all the complaining about delays and missing perceived deadlines.

    Continuum, What went wrong?

    As I recall Continuum was a victim of being released when the MC version was fairly new and few mods existed. It was delayed to the point that the forums were full of complaints that it was released long before FtB wanted to.

    There is a spectate mode... I've seen it used in several videos.

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    I'm not sure but the commands may be "Survival", "Creative" and "Spectate", replacing 0, 1, and ? respectively. The question mark is because "Spectate" is a new mode and may not have had a numerical value. Spectate mode allows people to view the game in progress without interfering. For...

    low fps on really good pc

    Ok, I misunderstood. To me, "dedicated" refers to being unable to physically remove. I call the plug-in board a GPU to distinguish the two. A GPU could, if needed, be removed and put into another system then moved back when the need is over. For me your issue isn't a problem, since I have no...

    low fps on really good pc

    The "dedicated gpu" is exactly what you DON'T want to enable... Dedicated, in that sense, means built-in.

    Request I need modpack with 3gb ram and questing

    With 6GB you should be able to allocate 4GB and be ok. I never ran into a 1.7.10 pack that didn't work with 4GB, but I also don't run texture packs or shaders.

    low fps on really good pc

    Like @zemeric said above, if your system has Intel Integrated Graphics on the motherboard and you haven't disabled it then chances are about 98% that Minecraft is ignoring the GPU and using the built in graphics. Go into your BIOS and see if you have a setting to switch the default video...

    Request I need modpack with 3gb ram and questing

    Is your 3GB limit the amount of total ram in your system? Keep in mind that you have to leave room for your OS or nothing is going to work well because of all the disk swapping going on. Your only choice, as far as I know, is to go with a pack based on a Minecraft version older than 1.7.10...

    Drill mod for 1.12.2?

    I always heard this as "If it won't compile, It'll compost" :D

    I do not have a good enough CPU for minecraft.

    Sorry :oops: The amount of video ram you need will depend on if Minecraft is the only game you play, and also if you intend to use shaders in Minecraft. I read in these forums a couple of years ago that 2GB video ram was becoming problematic as textures pushed into 32 and 64 bit territory. If...

    The Ultimate Minecraft Machine - What do I need?

    I wouldn't pop for an RTX 2000 video card at all right now. For one thing they will most likely sell out to the bleeding-edgers, even if the Crypto dudes aren't interested. At the MSRPs announced today, especially sub-$500 for the 2070, the GTX cards cannot help but drop in price, probably...

    low fps on really good pc

    My system is: Ryzen 5 1600 3.2Ghz (Self-boosted to 3.75Ghz) 16GB DDR4-3000Mhz GTX 1060/6GB Pretty much the same as yours. The lowest fps I've ever seen with the packs I play is 98, for a moment. The only differences I see between our setups are: I allocate just under 7GB... I don't see your...

    I do not have a good enough CPU for minecraft.

    FYI, if you haven't heard, today (8/20) Nvidia announced the RTX 2000 series of cards... RTX 2070 - $499 RTX 2080 - $699 RTX 2080ti - $999 I imagine GTX cards will be dropping in price soon :D

    I do not have a good enough CPU for minecraft.

    It all boils down to your motherboard implementation. Ram can be implemented several ways, referred to as "channels". Single channel refers to ram accessed one stick at a time. If you have 2 ram sticks, the CPU will start at stick one and fill that before putting anything in stick two. Dual...

    Giant sequoia pollen

    Sorry I had a feeling you knew that... :) I feel your pain because I used to build my bases inside the Natura giant Redwoods up until they seemingly were removed in 1.8.x

    I do not have a good enough CPU for minecraft.

    Your CPU should be ok since Minecraft only uses a single core. I'm using a Ryzen 5 1600 that has a base clock of 3.2MHz right now and seeing at least 120fps ! also have 16GB Ram and a GTX 1060 w/6GB Beyond that I'd say we have fairly equivalent systems. If your Java allows you to allocate 4GB...

    Giant sequoia pollen

    You may already know this but there are tiers of items the villagers offer for trade, but you have to do a lot of trading to get to their "better" trade goods.

    I do not have a good enough CPU for minecraft.

    We need more details on your setup before we can answer. You've told us your CPU but: What is it's clock speed? Is this a Desktop or a laptop system? How much ram do you have? What is your current graphics situation? What OS are you running? What version of Java? Are both OS and Java 32 or 64...
