    Is Modded Minecraft going to stay in 1.7 forever?

    As I understand it, the base code that MC runs on was substantially rewritten between 1.6 & 1.9 in ways that should make it run better and might make it easier to write new mods and build modpacks. 1.7 & 1.8 were transitional stages between the old code and the new code. This has made porting...

    Extra Utilities 2 (1.10.2)

    I think I found a bug, but I don't want to tell Tema.

    Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

    If you are in 1.7.10' RailCraft has a craftable block that smokes.

    Tinkers Constructs 1.10+

    Tinker's Addons gives you back mossy and the 3 extra modifiers. I love the sharpening kits compared to alumite for getting cobalt in a pack without steel. I don't have a handle on what is going on with the handles yet, but now I have a reason to want to find sponge. I hate having to repair tools...

    Which Minecraft version and which mod first?

    As a player who is now building my own pack, I'd say your best chance for getting any real attention is to work with the most up to date versions of MC and Forge available, and release it before the big legacy mods have a chance to get caught up. Right now, any new mod added to the list for...

    Looking for nature themed mods, please

    BoP and RTG both have 1.10.2 versions out. RTG doesn't add biomes, but it makes the ones you have look better. It also lets you config caves, ravines, dungeons and villages, although I'm currently having a problem with raw clay being very hard to find, even in swamps (I think the new stone types...

    Unstable 1.10 request

    Unstable is a testing pack used to throw mods together to see what breaks, and isn't really intended for long term game play. It is made public for those who can't wait to play with the new toys and don't mind dealing with bugs or starting over when things go really wrong. Some mods are not...

    blood magic Demon Invasion 1.10

    I have heard that tier 6 hasn't been implemented yet in 1.10. Might have to wait for a couple more mod updates.

    Bug (Sky Factory 2.5.3) ME System Not Seeing All Patterns (9 ME Interface but only 8 seen)

    A lot of players were complaining that AE was too quick & easy, so adding channels was something the dev came up with to complicate things while trying to keep it more interesting and not just more grindy. You can turn off the channel mechanic in the configs if you just want simple.

    Bug (Sky Factory 2.5.3) ME System Not Seeing All Patterns (9 ME Interface but only 8 seen)

    The block the dense cable is connected to can only carry 8 channels. It is best to plan out in 4 groups using 8 channels max each for every dense cable/open controller face and avoid loops in the cable. Color coding will let you run separate lines of cable next to each other and help keep...

    Bug (Sky Factory 2.5.3) ME System Not Seeing All Patterns (9 ME Interface but only 8 seen)

    Blocks and regular cables can only handle 8 channels, so you'd need to separate that 9th interface from the group.

    So, hello 1.10

    Modtweaker is out and a port of MineTweaker called CraftTweaker, also several other tools geared towards making custom pack/maps. I think we are now in the position where a lot of big, popular mods have been turned over to a small handful of top devs for maintenance who now have to figure out...

    Big reactors and rod insertion problem

    Inserting the rods slows down the reactor to lower the temperature, which helps control fuel efficiency. Not having enough fuel in the reactor or letting waste build up will also slow things down. Also, most of the variables can be altered in the configs, so there is a chance that the pack devs...

    So, hello 1.10

    Anyone know which mod decided we shouldn't be allowed to place water source blocks in the last 2-3 days of updates? I have at least 2 other mods that require properly placed water for some machines to work and I still like to use water to clear ground and make obsidian. I'm not ready to wade...

    So, hello 1.10

    I've been using BluePower just for the redstone gates and the wither proof glass, and I like their volcanos much better than ProjectRed's. Definitely reduce the ore spawn and dust yield in half, although I can appreciate not having to triple my redstone gathering to make use of the mod. Charset...

    Is there a way to store EU?

    iirc, IC2's power storage devices are battbox, MFE, MFSU. The power levels are tiered, but I think things are not exploding when you mess up in 1.7.10. I think things do still break if you harvest them with the wrong tool, or look at them funny even with the right tool. I never really liked IC2...

    So, hello 1.10

    And TICo already has a 1.10 version out. If you are a Forestry, IC2, Blood Magic person, you should be good to roll with the polar bears. I'm mostly waiting for AE2, Thaumcraft, and Blue Power to complete my basic mod lineup. I'm also hoping more 1.9.4 mods will tell Curse they work with 1.10 so...

    Is there a mod that...

    I don't know about manual options, but mfr has the fertilizer, EnderIO's farming station has a slot for bonemeal in the recent 1.7.10 updates, and many mods have other ways for accelerating plant growth. Oh yeah, Extra Utilities watering can is a manual option.

    Help with reactor/turbine setup

    Your temp actually isn't too bad. Fine tuning the temp is what the control rods on top of the reactor are for, but again, it is another fiddley, time consuming process. I think you need it above 350 to keep from losing steam, but I'm usually happy if I can hit a stable temp between 500 and 800.

    How do download a modpack?

    It needs to be installed into an instance of Minecraft that has had the correct version of forge installed. Easiest is to download the FTB launcher or the Curse Voice app (on Windows pc) and go from there.
