    May News

    No :D [Edit] I still play Direwolf20's 1.10.2 pack among others. I haven't ceased playing Minecraft entirely since there are too many new features, both in mods as well as on Vanilla 1.11 and 1.12 (now in pre-release).

    Official FTB Pack Suggestions Thread

    If it keeps crashing why would they add it to a pack? That's one of the important reasons mods are omitted, along with permission from the author... :D

    Absolutely new to FTB : need help choosing the right pack / what to do first

    The nice thing about the Forgecraft1 server is that you get a chance to see the mods evolve as new things are tried out and everyone on the server comments about the changes. Sometimes the bugs are serious, sometimes you get to see "unique" and funny side effects before they get fixed. You...

    Absolutely new to FTB : need help choosing the right pack / what to do first

    The other plus with Direwolf20's is that he also has a series of "Mod Spotlights" highlighting a single mod and explaining how it works. In addition, He usually alternates videos on YouTube as well has having a livestream on Twitch Thursdays and Sundays. His current livestream uses the...

    Vanilla World Gen?

    I don't know if it has an effect or not since I'm unfamiliar with how Worldgen works in mods, but there's a Vanilla mechanic that allows you to change a slew of worldgen options, from oregen levels/amounts to "sea level" to statistical size of biomes to... I use the feature (in the Create world...

    Rating system for modpacks

    Isn't that kind of what Direwolf20 does now? Minus the "Wrap-up" episode, unless you count the inevitable Enderman attack :D The problem with that is that everybody falls into 'habits' in the way they do things... Some try to change up their designs, the good ones try to use different mods than...

    Rating system for modpacks

    I would look at a rating system the way I look at opinions in real life... Including what they're like and the fact that everyone has one :D Seriously, when looking at movie ratings (similar concept) I learn who likes the same things I do or vice versa and proceed appropriately. There's a...

    Modern Retro Project - Impossibru?

    To me, "Impossibru" almost sounds like English spoken with a heavy Japanese accent, except that would come out more like "Impossiburu". Espresso and Maple Syrup? SWEEEEEEET! :D

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    The only issue I can think of, since Mojang said there'd be no real internal mechanism changes for a few versions, is whether or not all the mods in 1.10.2 Beyond get updated to 1.11.2.

    Multiple crashes

    I've been running at about 5.5GB allocation for Java (1.0.8_25) with slightly better performance for about 3 months now, no texture pack. I've not seen any crashing in DW20 or Beyond (yet). I'd detail my performance but I also updated my system to a Ryzen 5 1600 with ram running at 2933MHz...

    System to run FTB comforably?

    To answer your previous question about motherboards, I can tell you about AMD all day long... Maybe an Intel user can do the same for that line? Ryzen simplified things quite a bit when it was introduced in March... All Ryzen chips will work in all full-sized Ryzen-based motherboards since all...

    System to run FTB comforably?

    Sorry, my "leftovers" are going to become a server. I have an Athlon II with mainboard and 4GB but you probably wouldn't be interested :D

    System to run FTB comforably?

    I get all my parts at Fry's Electronics... They'll match any legitimate Internet price and I have 2 storefronts within 20 miles (1 in each direction :D) Besides, If I have a part problem I like to be able to grab a salesman by the neck if necessary :D The best thing about building your own...

    System to run FTB comforably?

    I suggest you look at more Ryzen reviews and AMD/Intel comparisons before spending a lot of money... Ryzen CPUs have only been around for about a month now and have been tested continually. At first the tests showed disappointing results but there have been 2 BIOS updates for the Mainboards...

    System to run FTB comforably?

    I think the A8 may be an APU... Combined CPU and GPU. If that's the case I wouldn't throw away your money. Wait until the fall when the new Ryzen chips come out. All Ryzen chips will plug into the same CPU socket, even the APUs... This makes for extremely easy future upgrades. You can get a...

    Launch the game without Twitch?

    The people immediately above your post aren't discussing the FTB launcher... They're talking about the Vanilla launcher that comes with Minecraft as shipped by Mojang... There's an old version and a brand new version. You can, as discussed above, actually run modded Minecraft using these very...

    Server running advice?

    I don't know anything about your current hardware, but if you don't have older hardware to build a server from you could possibly think about upgrading your current system and using the leftovers for a server. I have at least 2 working older sets of Mainboard/CPU/Ram myself... An Athlon II...

    Server running advice?

    It has nothing to do with the amount of ram you have available, but how much of the allocated ram needs to be cleared periodically by Java... This process is what we affectionately know as "Garbage Collection". Unfortunately Minecraft, although getting better, was written in a less than optimal...

    Nope. It's a Vanilla mechanic now. There were tweets and everything about it from Mojang.
