I'll go make a single player world and check. In SMP, It's fine on the lolnet server, only place for me that ores have been messed up is on the pledge server.

Went to do that and it turns out i have Java7 update 25 installed. I assumed i had java 8 since my ores are screwed up. What version of 7 should i be loading to fix things?

Easiest way to go from Java 8 back to Java 7? (WARNING: Assume you are a addressing a clueless old person, who went to college when they still used punch cards and we thought Fortran and Basic were the HOT! way to program.) I thought getting a texture pack installed was a major accomplishment....

The building goes surprisingly fast. It's getting the materials that can take time. Last map I started a sandstone fortress in the desert. This meant a lot of gathering sand and sandstone that wasn't contributing to anything else. And was greatly helped along by pillaging two desert temples for...

That is a 4 thick wall, about 6 high, of stone bricks. Only needs 2 high along the waters edge. Dez and I lived in a cleared dungeon level for a couple of weeks, and had a hopper/furnace setup going constantly fed by wood, which got upgraded to add cyclic assembers to make the bricks and Igneous...

After a portal spawns, they also infest the caves. (storyline, not actually). Sometimes they will spawn from the portal, and may have several waves. Or just one wave from down in a cave somewhere.

I haven't experienced any griefing from flying mobs. I don't like sky bases, closest I'll get is treehouses or a mountain, something that uses the natural geography. Flying mobs usually means problems when they attack and kill me, but not base destruction. I like to just build up a bit, and not...

Yes, and mobs would just build in the area and you'd have more each morning. At least now if you survive a night, the sun clears out 80% of the stuff and you can get back to work. Unless it rains...hate rain.

We already have some it in the form of the fire mobs. And yes, could make things very difficult with special mobs and the AI in place. But so far, difficulty = fun.

It's a grind, but sort of used to it. The old MiningDead server had a return rate of a about 1 diamond an hour. Nether mining will get a lot of other ores besides diamonds as well. Not seeing much down low. An hour last night got 0 diamonds, 19 gold ore, 3 tin ore. And dungeon diving is fun.

Hmm, 256 blocks in a chunk layer, x3 layers to mine out to see everything in 4-8, and i need to only hit every third row...so roughly 500 blocks to mine per diamond, and need 10 to make machines. So 5000 blocks and...oh screw that, i'll just do 6k and go to the deep dark :)

``````````````````` No. BNB is a modpack on the FTB launcher. Bring up the FTB launcher, you will see the modpacks on the lefthand side. You click on the pack you want, BNB in this case, and then hit launch.

Yeah, pretty proud of that one. Quite a spectacular fail. So of course I'll try again. I have a few floating chests and furnaces, and my garden. This time I'll top the trees, and put a nice conical stone roof on the buildings. I predict that lightning will eventually take out the rest of the...

Ok, building a treehouse was a faster disaster than i imagined. Lightning hit, small fire summoned a couple cinders, instantly shot a few rounds, more fires, entire base and surrounding trees ablaze. Had just gotten some nice woodworking done to make it look pretty and got the wheatfield done :)...

For all it can cause some hardship in BNB with lack of food, villages, etc. I still love some of the bop zones. Found a bop redwood biome on the pledge server and have decided to go back to my EQ roots and build a Kelethin inspired tree city. There is significant risk that lightning or mobs...

Silverfish are a now and then thing, i try to avoid an area after i hit them, back up right turn, go around. Mobs are minor if you light your tunnels, and don't go running off down caves. If i hit a cave, i'm careful, wall off one end, light up the other then mine, and can then worry about the...

I've found that mining for iron/copper/aluminum is pretty easy, even a bit lower into the lead/silver range doesn't get too much gas. Try mining a tunnel 4-5 high, place the torches low. You'll still sometimes touch off gas, but a lot of it will be over your head. Soon as gas ignites, just run...

I saw a bunch of them in an oasis. I stay away from jungles, so not sure. Jungles have a lot of nasty mobs at night and a lot of up/down to move through :) Oasis is a sandy biome with a lot of small pools, palm trees, some cacti and sugar cane. Good place to scavenge early on.

As time goes on, multiple invasion portals will form. They just seem to keep coming. Plus you'll have lesser waves come up from the caves.

There is a bit of a mechanic that adds exp already. Isn't the exp for a pick based partly on it's speed? I've had picks need more and more exp as they get either a random upgrade or I add redstone.
