    Since when is added complexity and difficulty more fun?

    I would agree with this... Let me see eFab in a Direwolf20 pack with no artificial restrictions before I declare that it is EVIL :D This is the problem with introducing new mods in highly customized packs... You don't know what it was originally designed to perform like.

    launcher doesn't save my java version

    If you use a FtB pack the version and a lot of other info is displayed on the title screen.

    FTB Continuum Release

    You forgot my own personal peeve... People complaining when the darn pack has been out maybe a WEEK! This after endless months of "Where's the #$%%^^& pack?!?!?!" :D I loaded Continuum a couple of days ago and found a few things to scratch my head over, but I haven't been through the whole...

    FTB Continuum Release

    Biomes O' Plenty is always the first mod disabled in the packs I play for this very reason. I used to take sheer delight in deleting it until I realized it would be reloaded when the pack updates :rolleyes:

    Severe lag spikes in 1.12.2

    The "Twitch" launcher doesn't install Java... It calls the Mojang Vanilla launcher which automatically installs ver. 1.0.8_25 because that's the version Minecraft is currently developed with. When Mojang decides to develop Minecraft with a newer Java version they will change the version their...

    New PC

    My point about AMD APUs is that you can build with the 2200g which costs $99 (whole system works out to about $500 + case/power, unless you find a Newegg.com Board/CPU bundle on sale) and when you want to upgrade all you have to do is replace the APU with a CPU and GPU card. Even the mini-ITX...

    New PC

    You are correct... Intel has better gaming performance with their top 4 CPUs, but when you combine CPU/Mainboard costs who wants to pay about USD$500 more for at most 15% better framerate on one or two games? I don't really want to be a Fanboi here but if you want to skip a GPU at this time I'd...

    New PC

    First, as an AMD user for over 20 years, I wouldn't buy an older system with an Fx6300 CPU... The chip is at least 6 years old and there is no future upgrade path other than faster FX chips. The new Ryzen chips are so much better. I upgraded from an FX8350 to a Ryzen 1600 last April and have...

    Building a server out of spare parts. Will it work?

    That's what happens when I read forum posts BC (Before Coffee) :D

    Building a server out of spare parts. Will it work?

    My mistake about the ram... I read the original post as saying there was 4GB ram, not 4x4GB. :D Not many people clarify the number of DIMMs they have as it doesn't matter unless they have an odd number and want to run dual (or quad) channel memory.

    Updated modpack with quests?

    Direweolf20 said Thaumcraft 6, as well as EnderIO is coming to his pack.

    Building a server out of spare parts. Will it work?

    Depending on your OS you might want to bump that 4GB ram to 8GB. Everything past MC 1.10 seems happier running with 6+GB allocated and you still have to have ram for the OS to run.

    Actually Additions solar panel usage?

    That or wait for the next update of DW's pack... He said over a week ago that EnderIO and several other long-awaited packs will be in the next version.

    Need some help

    I see your posts, no concern there :D I don't play many RPG packs, but you might want to include some information about the systems. For example, If you aren't running both a 64-bit OS AND 64-bit version of Java on just one of the systems you will be limited to a 1.7.10 or earlier pack, as I...

    Problem Crash when launching

    1) Disable the new mods and see if the pack still works 2) Re-enable the new mods one at a time and try loading. If the pack fails to load there's yer problem. 3) Repeat step 2 with another new mod. Another thing to check is if there are any dependencies (library files) needed by the new mods...

    Good luck finding a half-person :D I know you mean 1 to 2 people but my Smart@$$ gene was triggered :D

    I've a question for you guys

    You can't be too careful... I know people in real life who don't take "hidden requirements" into consideration, like how you used to have to add an extra quart of oil to fill the new oil filter when you change oil because the documented amount only included crankcase capacity. :eek:

    I've a question for you guys

    I'm a bit late to the show but if your server has 2GB total then you shouldn't even consider running Minecraft at all since 2GB is barely enough to run the Operating System, given a 64 bit OS. Personally, I'd opt for at least 8GB total for a server, since I'd also run it using Integrated...

    Why do people quarry in the Deep Dark?

    Actually, everyone was saying that there was a higher ore spawn rate in May 2014. Things may have changed in the intervening 4 years :D

    April News

    That would be Terry Pratchett's version of "Open Computers", would it not? :D
