    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    Microsoft has already taken their share of the pie, that's why it's missing here:

    Show Your Agrarian Skies world

    Just working on the 'small' Agrarian Skies agriculture section of the map.... The current plan is to use a 64x64 pad, and if that proves to be too small then I'll add levels.

    Could this computer ftb?

    You can never invest enough money into the motherboard, a cheap motherboard can make a dual core perform like a single core (that's speaking from my own experience btw). Below $50 is very cheap and I would personally pay even $25 more just to get a solid performing motherboard. Sounds like a...

    First Death in Ages

    Dying is pretty normal in modded Minecraft, it's when it happens in vanilla that you know you've lost your mojo lol Lava is one I die from a lot because when you touch it you're a dead man unless you find water quick or have healing potions.

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    This is the exact reason why I ditched the vanilla community ages ago. The general Minecraft community are centred around vanilla, so it mostly consists of kids 8-14 years old that'll freak out at any news that things might change and their game might be ruined. I kid you not, to get an idea of...

    Agrarian Skys help, venting, and discussion thread

    I need some opinions on what I'm about to do in my Agrarian Skies world, I'm not knowledgeable about the Applied Energistics when it comes to autocrafting and how the cables work yet, but here's the plan: Basically I'm currently on a central island with a mob tower, but in order to specialise in...

    Buying Minecraft From Mojang

    I like getting Rick Rolled, I end up listening to the full song because it's good lol So we need to donate $2,000,000,001.00? Well I plan on working in the mining industry here in Australia, so it's just a matter of working my way up to the top and stealing Gina Rinehart's purse. There should be...

    Torches on the bottom of the ocean?

    From memory the villages, abandoned mineshafts and strongholds all create torches naturally in Minecraft, maybe it was a failed attempt when the game tried to create one of those. The fact that you found them underwater but not popping off means that they were generated with the terrain...

    1.2.5 Not Even The TARDIS Goes Back This Far

    Good times in 1.2.5, that's when I started playing vanilla as a noob :P I was probably on a server somewhere trying to figure out how to stop people from griefing my base. I don't think I came across Feed The Beast until the 1.5.2 era.

    Show Your Agrarian Skies world

    Started a brand new 'flat' Agrarian Skies map, and this is how it's developed since I started the map four days ago (call it maybe 25 real-time hours of gameplay). Got a good mob tower, Tinker's Construct, storage, farms and basic automation up and running. The plan at the moment is to see how...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    I'm already weaning myself away from Minecraft, and I'm finished with playing vanilla. It just doesn't interest me anymore. I still play hardcore technical modpacks though because they're proper games designed for adult gamers who like to use their brains. Games that require real skills are...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    Who knows, if Minecraft remains a popular game then it's most likely that Mojang will keep developing it. If they're aquired by Microsoft....who knows. The aquisition by Microsoft might mean that the basic Minecraft game gets entirely recoded with it's own software engine rather than having to...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    Man, can you imagine if mods were made illegal....I would pay to get my Minecraft accounts erased from their database.

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    I agree with VikeStep on this one, it's a dumb move by Microsoft. If the deal goes through then Microsoft will want to see some kind of return for their investment (especially nowadays when every dollar of income counts). It'll most likely lead to some kind of additional monetization in the...

    Game Addiction

    Yeah I have times when all I want to do is play modpacks, but usually for me it's games in general rather than only Minecraft stuff. I just find games relaxing and a good way to just chill out. Trouble is, I gotta manage full-time mechanical engineering university study so I have to drag myself...

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    Nice! That reminds me so much of how I had a village-purtification project in my Attack Of The B-Team world, I build a copy of a blacksmith and then converted it into a Tinkers Construct forge. Pro tip for anyone who hasn't done it yet, the Tinker's Construct drying racks make some epic-looking...

    Why do you like hardmode/grindy minecraft?

    lol yeah....gives me flashbacks to one of my first FTB Ultimate worlds when I hooked up an MFSU to an industrial blast furnace in my basement. It killed me, destroyed a lot of valuable stuff and left behind a nice crater. Sometimes the only way to learn is the hard way when you use them wrong as...

    Will the quest rewards change so....for example, if we're nearing the end of the quest book and complete a quest for 16,000 quintuple compressed ghast tear blocks, we'll get something a little better than 16 MFR conveyor belts? lol I hate complaining and this isn't really a complaint, I'm just...
