    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Where did you notice the change? On a pack you downloaded and play locally? On Forgecraft 2 or some other stream where a third party might have made additional changes? I haven't played the pack to the point where I can experiment with either of the mods mentioned. I'm not trying to be snarky...

    FTB Utilities, how to increase allowed claimed chunks

    That's not to "force" people to use FTP Utilities, it's to prevent the inconsiderate players on a server from leaving everything loaded and running when they log off, contributing to the server's inevitable lag-death. If you are playing a solo game it doesn't matter since the server is stopped...

    Sky Factory 4?

    @bacon_donut is already playtesting Skyfactory 4 on his live Twitch stream (usually 6PM Pacific). Isn't he the original pack developer with FtB curating the pack?

    Modding Win10 Edition

    The only "Timeline" I have is the ongoing process to make the internal processes for both Java and Bedrock function identically, and that's been going on since the last real Minecon, about three years or starting with MC 1.8.x. Looking at DW20 packs on Twitch, the pack most previous to the...

    Modding Win10 Edition

    The situation: "Moddable" Minecraft is written in Java. Windows10 Minecraft and all other versions, for that matter, including Pocket Edition and the Console versions are all written in C++ and referred to as "Bedrock". The current plan, according to what I've inferred from the various...

    Error Code

    It looks like you've added command line memory options to the Java startup that no longer exist... The PermSize switch in specific. I'm not sure on the rest, like the VM option, but you might want to remove all the command line switches and make sure you can start Minecraft. After that, before...

    new to mods

    I like Direwolf20's packs... Not only do you get a pack, you also get a series of YouTube videos you can play along with and every 10th episode is saved so you can download and play with the stuff he has built up to that point. Another good point is that he does "Spotlight" videos on each mod...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    If You update Vanilla Minecraft you will at the very least need a new version of Forge (the mod that is required for any mod used by FtB to run). Differences between MC versions can cause substantial incompatible issues. Some versions, like 1.9, 1.10 and 1.11 were fairly compatible but 1.12...

    Honest feedback and constructive criticism of Continuum

    I watched WeAllPlayCast playing Continuum and they built a multiblock that used several tanks, each containing a different liquid... Water, Honey and IIRC tree sap/oil or latex, all of which were filled using pipes and/or special blocks like aqueous accumulators.

    Tinker's Construct Smeletry Question

    ^This. I'm playing a pre-release space survival game (Empyrion) where you crash on a planet and at first you only have surface resources to work with, including other derelict spaceships to salvage, until you can make a drill to start underground mining. It's been fun so far, and the fact that...

    Honest feedback and constructive criticism of Continuum

    I agree with the idea that Efab needs to be given another chance. I put Efab into the Direwolf20 1.12 pack (pre-12.2) just to see what it was like in its pure implementation. The first thing I noticed was the module recipes required iron and redstone, as opposed to the first grid being made...

    Hosting server but the console says that there are too many arguments in command line

    Check the Java version on the server, then make sure the command line switches are still valid. Java has changed a lot in the past 3-4 years and I still see people advising the use of switches that worked in Java 1.7 on the latest Java versions, even though half the switches no longer mean...

    Request I need modpack for a bad system requiments

    I was just watching a Video from Gaming Nexus on YouTube... They're in Taiwan for Computex and checking out a big market to compare computer part pricing to see if there's a lowering trend. To the point, when they looked at RAM there is definitely DDR2 and up still available, at least in that...

    Request I need modpack for a bad system requiments

    With 2GB ram it'll boil down to what OS the OP is running. Windows XP used to need at least 1.5GB IIRC, Vista needed almost 2GB... With Win 7 that requirement has started shrinking. In comparison Win 10 uses just over 1GB, so it's getting smaller. Also, if this is a laptop the integrated...

    Request I need modpack for a bad system requiments

    Ram probably won't be that cheap... If the system only came with 2GB chances are it's DDR2 or older, which makes it a legacy part that isn't made any more. You might have luck on eBay finding someone clearing out their old parts. One of the scariest things I saw in terms of legacy parts was...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    Wooden telephone poles and railway trestles are also soaked in creosote, mainly to keep termites and moisture away but also to provide some fire protection. Oddly enough the creosote burns while protecting the wood, with a thick black smoke.

    Since when is added complexity and difficulty more fun?

    As I stated in another post, I make no judgements on Efab until I see it in an "unmodified" pack like Direwolf20. Some mods in Continuum, you have to admit, have been severely reconfigured, and the structure of Efab's description in Continuum leads me to believe that by default you can use more...

    launcher doesn't save my java version

    You're correct... I was thinking Minecraft and Forge versions. If you go in-game and hit the [F3] diagnostics key the Java version and some memory usage info is in the very upper right corner. I also did some investigating... When Mojang first started loading the Java runtime at game start it...
