    Comprehensive list of mods useful for server admins.

    OP, you may want to update your thread. Our jenkins is now located at http://ci.forgeessentials.com/job/FE/. @LassyKongo there is a price to pay for versatility... FE allows config settings to differ across group memberships and individual players, but a downside of that is that you have to...

    Forge and Nova

    Disclaimer: I was formerly Lex's forum hunting dog so my views may be biased and prejudiced. I don't think staying on one MC version is good in the long term. Users are stupid - believe it or not, most don't even know how to change the version in the vanilla launcher! While I may be repeating...

    Forge and Nova

    Basically, I'm going to have to be the cynic here and slap the "dark horse" label on NOVA. Their "About" page doesn't really give me a lot of confidence in their plans. What are you guys trying to achieve by building yet another abstraction layer? Why not work with the Sponge guys? Sponge...

    Forge and Nova

    From what I've seen about him, that is my inference. I can only buy Minecraft PC once (for myself), but I can click on a Forge adfly link many more times. 11 million is not an unreasonable number, but 11 million a day is an unreasonable number.

    Forge and Nova

    I would be more conservative and say 11 million clicks a year. Based on an estimated payout rate of $5/1000 clicks, if there really were 11 million clicks a day, Lex would be earning $50k a day. He'd be as rich as Bill Gates! (might be a bit of an exaggeration). But still, the fact that Lex...

    He used to be a global moderator. Navigate off there, go to another board. Or you might have missed

    Forge and Nova

    That is still, unfortunately, the present and not the past. Even if Lex were to reinstate me, I'd resign immediately from his forums. As I have stated repeatedly, he is an ass, but a capable ass. I might want to revise that statement to say that he's an arrogant shit as well. Apologizing to...

    Forge and Nova

    I could waste time writing a psychological deconstruction of Lex's personality as I know him, though I'm not going to do it. He has quite a few faults as a person, that he has stated himself. However, the problem with him is that he lets these faults adversely affect what he does as lead of...

    Forge and Nova

    (I dusted off my FTB forums account to make this post. You may choke in the dust clouds) Hi, it's me. You may remember me as the author of http://luacs1998.wordpress.com/2015/02/01/arigatou-sayonara/. I will admit that I was writing the post while watching Japanese mecha anime so ya, all the...

    Regarding Forge Essentials

    You're quite the critic aren't you :( Anyway. Protection mod is coming. I just need Forge PR #1367 accepted. Preferably also PR #1220.

    Regarding Forge Essentials

    I'll just leave this, this and this here. I know this isn't much of a post, but the bulk of what I want to say is already in the three links posted above. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll try my best to answer.

    Why no new launcher.

    1.6 means a lot of changes to the way minecraft is started, which is why mojang had to release a new launcher. FTB can't push out a 1.6 pack without having a 1.6 compatible launcher.

    Why no new launcher.

    I only have one question, and I feel it's better to ask now then later: How will these changes (both launcher and team) affect the average user, and will it in any way impact the FTB/modded minecraft experience?

    Downloading FTB

    Download it at home and copy to a flash drive?

    iOS 7: What do you think?

    I have seen the difference between Android 2.3 and Android 4, it is quite a change. Though for iOS 7 it just seems like a reskin of the UI. (Windows Phone user here)

    Is Feed The Beast Falling Behind?

    From what I hear blockIDs are going to be removed in a sense.

    Create ModPack Shortcuts (Proposed Button addition)

    What should be done is allowing direct launch of modpacks from the command line, eg: java -jar FTBLauncher.jar --modpack unleashed for example. All one has to do is create a desktop shortcut or batch file with such an option.

    [Official] We Need Your Help - Launcher Ideas

    What Technic does is that each mod is saved as a standalone package on their servers. Each modpack is just simply a descriptor file telling their launcher which files to download (this means a launcher backend rework would be needed) FTB could do the same thing as well, all the modpack people...

    TickThreading - concurrent entity/tile entity ticks and other optimisations

    NMS plugins in the new bukkit = obfuscated forge mod code. And it's not Forge's fault, Mojang has been pushing a lot of breaking changes.

    Is there something like "ftb ready to run"?

    Nope. You'll have to get your own server protection solution, sorry.
