    So, version 1.0.2 is out. Changelog: Enjoy! :D

    Best Modpack for new to modding player?

    I would not recommend Vanilla+ as an introduction pack, as that doesn't really add any mods that get people into modded MC. If one of the biggest things in all of modded MC is tech and automation, why would you pick a pack that doesn't have it? Vanilla+ has it's place (creative builds seem like...

    Tech mods: Why have a power system?

    So I can play with the more difficult cables without feeling guilty about ignoring the rest of the mod, with it's specific progression and cool stuff. Kinda like wanting EnderIO's energy/fluid/item transport cables, but not wanting to feel guilty about having an entire set of machines you never use.

    More on Microsoft's MC plans

    It may not be justifiable to rant at Microsoft for being huge and evil, but Apple is another story. They modified a bunch of free, open source stuff, and now they're making gajillions of dollars. They also hide all internal functions on mobile devices - you can't view the folder hierarchy, or...

    Tech mods: Why have a power system?

    Actually, speaking of "harder RF storage and transfer," is it possible to separate out Immersive Engineering's cables from the main mod? I'm not totally familiar with the mechanics, but it seems that that might be the slightly harder transfer/storage we're looking for.

    [1.7.10] Intro2Mods [Very Lite][For Uplifting Noobs]

    Yeah... WAILA, Simply Jetpacks, and Forestry will be in the next version. I figure three more mods won't be that bad for lag, right? :p EDIT: I've submitted an update with WAILA, Simply Jetpacks, and Forestry to the third party pack team. It'll be live within 3 days; when it goes up, I'll post...

    Alternatively, you could make a legitimate, uniquely themed video game which also uses a voxel-based building system. It's possible have blocks AND be a unique game. :P

    How high up the Kardashev scale can you realistically get in MC?

    That's because mods are (in general) geared toward "you are a single player, building one base, for yoruself." That means that up-front costs are cheaper than is realistic, but it also means that actual energy production is smaller scale than you would get in real life (I mean, seriously, even...

    More on Microsoft's MC plans

    They don't make money from java, but they do make money when people play MC, want to make a mod, learn Java, progress beyond modding, get hired by MSFT, and do work for them. :P

    Dungeon Crawler: Modpack WIP, Need YOUR Suggestions!

    Huh. That's odd... I could have sworn that there was a list you could edit, complete with an option to toggle it between whitelist and blacklist. Maybe try searching the document for "whitelist" - that might lead you to the spot. As for the edit: Well, if that's the case, then it'll be good...

    [1.7.10] Intro2Mods [Very Lite][For Uplifting Noobs]

    Well, you do get 8 diamond pipes per craft, and there's also some kind of "Diazuli" thing which is diamond + lapis, which I has some kind of modified sorting functionality. Also, golems.

    Best Modpack for new to modding player?

    Shameless plug: I made a modpack SPECIFICALLY for this EXACT purpose. It's called Intro2Mods! Go check it out. :)

    Dungeon Crawler: Modpack WIP, Need YOUR Suggestions!

    Never fear! CONFIGS are here! In the Archimedes Ships config file, you can add blocks to the list of blocks to not absorb into your ship when you take off. Set that to be whatever blocks you use the most on the outside of your dungeons, and you'll be fine. :)

    More on Microsoft's MC plans

    A) It runs on C++ (that's why they're calling it "MC++" :P), so it'll run a bit faster to begin with. Plus, yeah, they'll optimize it better. Personally, I hope they also put some optimization pressure on Mojang for Javacraft (only I call it that, but whatever) as well. B) They're probably...

    crucible problems

    Do you have the Goggles of Revealing on? I think you need those to see the essentia contents of a crucible. The Thaumometer might also work, but I haven't played TC in a while, so I don't remember.

    [1.7.10] Intro2Mods [Very Lite][For Uplifting Noobs]

    Adding WAILA and Simply Jetpacks to the "Maybe Add This" list. WAILA's just a good idea, the reasons I had before for not including it weren't very good... As for Simply Jetpacks, my original logic was that you could fly using the Thaumostatic Harness, but that's pretty far down the tech tree...

    Those little things that irk you about Minecraft

    I would call it "Too Many Items" because there ARE too many items, so you need a mod to help you keep track of all the recipes. I would call the other one "Not Enough Items" because you don't have enough items, so you cheat them in. :P

    [1.7.10] Intro2Mods [Very Lite][For Uplifting Noobs]

    This is a smart post. :p About TC being hard to get into: that's true. On the other side of the coin, check out tech mods - how long does it take you to get any armor at all? It's the most expensive item in the mod. Personally, that's how I define tech vs. magic - with tech, infrastructure and...
