    What would YOU change about BuildCraft?

    You can right-click an NEI tab to hide its contents, and I believe you left-click on the tab to reveal them again. I go through and do this every time I start a new world now. That includes looking through the tabs for creative stuff. That way I can hide multiblocks (but not the saws), facades...

    What would YOU change about BuildCraft?

    Instead of a knight doing this, how about an energy-carrier which can be set to either transfer energy between RF source and receiver blocks, or seek out robots (active, inactive, or both) and juice them up enough to get home. It will always track its distance to "home" and return there once it...

    [WIP] Aurora's Garden - A mostly botanical skyblock for 1.7.10

    Updates! Sorry it's taking so long to get back on this, I had some computer issues getting in the way. First, I've decided to remove a VERY popular mod: Ender Storage. There are several ways to move stuff between locations in this modpack (including between dimensions), and I want to add a bit...

    [WIP] Aurora's Garden - A mostly botanical skyblock for 1.7.10

    Thanks for your vote of confidence! :) I also feel that Ex Nihilo is a bit overused. One nice thing about Garden of Glass is, it triggers Botania to add some things that make a "resource-free" world possible, like cobble from dirt. Though some resources are further up the progress tree: to get...

    [WIP] Aurora's Garden - A mostly botanical skyblock for 1.7.10

    Welcome to Aurora's Garden The lore: You awaken in the sky, with only a fragment of a world to live on. There with you are several books, together giving you an idea what sort of challenge you have been placed in: the goddess Aurora wishes to see a world of beauty and life grow in her realm...

    What would YOU change about BuildCraft?

    One thing I would change about Buildcraft would be to adjust or do away with redstone engines. They add no RF power to a system (to prevent people from spamming worlds with them and getting power for free), they're basically a "take action" command. I wouldn't even use the engine aesthetic...

    Better name: Potion of Cancellation (:30), made from Awkward potion. Add glowstone for extended (1:00) and/or gunpowder for splash.

    Yeah, these "improved" boats suck. Lately they've been exploding when I'm still 20 blocks away from shore, forcing me to swim the rest of the way in. Stupid synch issues. VSWE's new "Steve's Vehicles" may be what we're looking for (carts AND boats!), but he's taking his time getting it together...

    I don't recall which version of Minecraft it was added, but you can do this with command blocks now. (You spawn a chest with an exact list of contents in an exact set of slots, or copy a chest that already exists.) So this should be easily doable with a simple mod that lets you run in-game...

    Which one were you replying to? The entropy pipe thing? I read the post thoroughly, and it's reasonably written for someone with English as a second language. The basic idea seems to be that there's this pipe that connects to item and fluid storage, and processing machines. It does three things...

    I wasn't aware I was excited or upset. And yes, I know that you can overload your CPU and cause a modern computer to reduce clock speed to reduce heat generation; my own computer does that all the time if I don't take care with it.

    That sounds to me like a hardware problem, NOT a software problem. "Blew out a processor" is not even a thing software can do. Don't blame hardware failures on apps, blame them on bad OS or bad drivers. Your friend probably had an overheating problem, which is a physical hardware thing that can...

    That depends on how much ram you have, but a good number for Minecraft is 4GB, and for large modpacks or video streaming/recording 8GB is recommended. I only have 2GB of RAM on my whole computer, so I don't have the memory for super-large modpacks, nevermind the CPU or graphics power. If you use...

    Sethbling has already made a command block system that defines an anti-gravity zone, so this is potentially doable. I think I'd make it a powered block, requiring ender pearls (or resonant ender) and a nether star, but other than that I'm not sure what you'd do.

    Actually, that's sort of already in vanilla. Endermen are more likely to spawn close to the new moon, while zombie sieges are more likely during a full moon. It may not be a big variation, but at least there's some.

    The piston pushing thing? Look into Funky Locomotion, which doesn't require TE to function. It can use other recipes if TE is not installed, there's just no option for that in the config file.

    Jampacked II Submission/Judging

    Rabbits, mutton, banners, changed enchanting, command block updates, and a few minor bits and pieces of actual gameplay. Plus the usual bugfixes and mod-breaking changes for better function. :)

    Tinkers Construct adds extra armor and item slots. They barely use them, though; it was preparation for the Traveller's Gear armor set, which hasn't been improved much since it was introduced.

    FTB News - May 15th, 2015

    I like Lite. Any more Lite love in the offing, or is that pack basically buttered toast?
