    Small Request

    As I understand it, the FTB Utilities mod added it temporarily, but took it back out once NEI was ported to 1.10.2, but Direwolf20 hasn't gotten around to adding NEI yet. With several big staple mods nearing release, I suspect it will get fixed as part of a major pack update when those are...

    Not really an FTB pack, but...

    Try open to LAN, enable cheats, then t/gamemode s. That's what Google comes up with, anyway. Or resign yourself to starting over, you did choose to play a pack in hardcore mode, after all.

    Yes, I'm making a simpler sky-block pack.

    Ender IO has quietly added mass storage, with 9 tiers ranging from "tiny" to "extended warehouse". Bye, bye, AE2! (and AE2 stuff & bdlib) Sorry, but part of the intent of this pack is smaller with fewer overlapping functions, and actually additions has potion rings to go with it's unpowered...

    Extra Utilities 2 Mining Upgrade not working

    If you have the transfer node placed right, you may need to set up one of the mills to produce grid power. Do all the upgrades use GP, or just the speed upgrades? Also, if you have gp and overload it, I think it shuts down everything, even if it doesn't use gp.

    Spend the extra diamonds to make unstable nuggets, which should then craft into the stable unstable ingots, which don't explode. Or go into a creative test world and practice until you can reliably do it fast enough. Or do the ritual to get the improved division sigil.

    I've gone through JEI to determine what the sieves will drop under the default configs, list below and up in the op. Any changes I make will be updated in the op, but not here. Did I miss any material that can be used in the sieves? Right now the heavy sieves (for compressed materials) gives...

    Need to perform surgery on a mod

    Railcraft's copper doesn't look like other copper in 1.10.2. It is more of a pale greenish color, and you are more likely to find the poor variants. The spread is also more concentrated in veins instead of being spread more uniformly. You may want to go through Railcraft's configs to see if you...

    I'm adding Recurrent Complex as a way of adding a custom spawn platform. I'm using Mike Dongles to set the player's beginning inventory, but I don't know if I can make it a charged magnet, as the RF is handled with NBT data and not the simple meta data used in the configs. potential spawn...

    Yes, I'm making a simpler sky-block pack.

    I like the Water Strainer in normal packs as a source of clay for getting a smeltery going early when swamp biomes are hard to find. With Ex Nihilo, it is largely redundant, but can still save you a little grinding over time before you get around to automating everything. It could also be used...

    Yes, I'm making a simpler sky-block pack.

    I'm removing Clay Buckets (they won't pull lava out of crucibles). I'll just give the players an iron bucket to start. I'm adding Actually Additions, Inventory Tweaks, Mike Dongles, and Packing Tape. This adds a little more overlap than I really want, but enough new to be worth it while still...

    Yes, I'm making a simpler sky-block pack.

    But those are just the kinds of mods I'm making my own pack to avoid. No growing or breeding for ores, and if you need a mining dimension, the Deep Dark is easy enough to get into these days, if not to survive. No Botania or Blood Magic, either, although I will add Thaumcraft when Azanor manages...

    Here's an idea for loot bags: what if you had to craft them instead of getting them as mob drops? You'd have to farm a lot of something for a chance at something better.

    Sky Factory 3 and Chickens Mod

    As someone who watches streamers, I can say that just watching someone power-game their way through things like chickens or magical crops is pretty damned tedious. That said, if you don't like the mod, don't use it! If it really bothers you that much, unlock the pack and disable it. If you...

    Yes, I'm making a simpler sky-block pack.

    With Chance Cubes, I'll probably disable the rewards that unavoidably kill you or seriously screws with your inventory, also the wither boss. If the worst you could get was an invisible ghast, and the best was a nether star, would you take the risk? You can also make a scanner to see how bad it...

    Yes, I'm making a simpler sky-block pack.

    @ICountFrom0 you know you don't have to actually open any chance cubes you find, right? And you can disable the worst of the rewards in the configs. By default, loot bags pull from the general loot tables that fill dungeon chests, and anything that comes out of a bag can be fed into a recycler...

    Ender IO's extra special bonus loot capacitors (mc1.10.2)

    The double-later and octadic capacitors can be used as machine upgrades to increase RF/t output, RF storage capacity, machine speed, and machine range. As they do different things in different machines, I don't know if some of these are linked to the same value or if all 4 actions are set...

    Yes, I'm making a simpler sky-block pack.

    The mod list is up. I keep considering SGCraft because it is so damn cool, but ultimately I want that functionality earlier and easier to use. Waystones is my current go to, but many would consider it too easy too early. consider it a cooler alternative to cheating with journeymap waypoints. I...

    Yes, I'm making a simpler sky-block pack.

    I feel your pain. I was playing on an old laptop that shipped with 2 gig ram and maxed out at 4. In 1.7.10, IC2exp dropped my tick rate down to completely unplayable --I could create and log into new worlds, but could barely move & you could watch the stars tick away the seconds. With up to date...

    Yes, I'm making a simpler sky-block pack.

    If I manage to finish it, I might even try to figure out how to share (I know there are published guidelines, but it is still a somewhat involved process, especially if people expect it to be maintained and updated afterwards). I am a casual gamer with a preference for a smaller pack with 1-2...

    Strange Thistle's custom skyblock

    These days I set up my farm around an ExtraUtil2 water mill setup with 9 water source blocks covering all sides of a ring of 8 water mills. I also place water strainers under the water source blocks (usually only 4, but since skyblock, all 9).
