    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    There have been many changes in Java since 1.6.4 packs were out. Several language specs have changed since then and enough time has passed that any deprecated functions have been removed entirely. If Forge or any other mod uses an older command that no longer exists or has been drastically...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    It also depends on what version of Minecraft the Mod or Pack is written for and how it was reported. Just posting in the forums discussion group is no guarantee... You should post in the Bug reportin threads. If the bug is in a recent pack like 1.10 or 1.12 chances are it may have already been...

    April News

    The difference between an "Open Beta" and a "Public Release" is that an open beta is a brief time period (weekend, week, fortnight, ???) where the software is available to a larger group before being shut down again while the issues found are corrected. The Public Release occurs when the...

    Simple Question, need an answer.

    Here is the procedure to adding/disabling mods to a pack... I couldn't find the whole procedure as my post history seems to have been truncated to about a year's worth. Creating a new profile should be straightforward...Editing mods not so much.

    Simple Question, need an answer.

    If you use the Twitch loader* putting together packs is extremely simple... Once registered with Twitch (you have to configure your Mojang User ID/Password into the twitch account... Mojang wants authentication to be done that way) you can create a "game profile" that includes the version of...

    Modded in 1.13?

    As I heard things V1.13 mods would need to be mostly rewritten due to internal system changes in MC. I haven't heard much on this topic recently so plans may have changed at Mojang, but 1.13 was supposed to be the start of rewriting Java MC and developing C++ MC to be able to run the same mod...

    Farming Valley 1.10.2 Modpack

    1.10.2 packs are recent enough that "Farming Valley" may never have been available using the FtB launcher... Twitch was probably the default launcher by then.

    March News

    As I recall (this was several years ago) FtB and Curse merged... Perhaps I remember so well because I had just started with Minecraft about 6 months before. A couple of years later Twitch bought Curse. A bit later Microsoft bought Mojang. It must be nice being one of the popular kids :D...

    Lags/stuttering. Maybe java?

    Java 1.8.0_25 is the version that Mojang officially supports and in fact uses to build all of the current versions of Minecraft. I personally won't use anything newer until either Mojang starts using a newer version to build Minecraft, in which case they'll update the version they run when you...

    Suggest a pack for me?

    If you are asking me I run Windows 10 Pro 'Insider's Preview' (I consider these to be 'Beta Test' versions)... I'm already using features that are supposedly being released in the "Spring Creators" edition coming out later this month. To complete my config info, I have 16GB DDR4@2966Khz (6066...

    Can I just say here that I lost my mom on April 1 last year... I not only lost a parent but a favorite holiday as well. I demand April Fools day be moved as soon as feasible :D

    Suggest a pack for me?

    I'm running 1.12 packs just fine @ 90+ FPS with 6GB allocated for Java... Granted I just use stock MC graphics, no add-on shaders. The CPU thing is true with Intel chips, I see in videos all the time how uneven the core speeds are when overclocking. I run a Ryzen 5 1600, which is rated...

    Minecraft Changed

    Maybe a soft 3... You say you're playing Direwolf20's 1.12, so there's a YouTube Let's Play series available for the version you're using. Direwolf also does periodic "Mod Spotlights" that show new or updated mods in-depth if you want more info. The biggest plus is that Direwolf's packs are...

    You might keep an eye on the "Ask a Simple Question" thread... I'm sure someone there might be of help until a specific "Pyramid" thread is created. It's "Being hit on the Head" lessons in here... :D

    Request official world save for ftb packs

    If I want a "default World backup" I can create a new world when I first start the pack and back it up twice, renaming one to "default". That, or download the default world config if I need it again. Many packs provided this option... Agrarian Skies I and 2 for example. I imagine that the new...
