    Disable cheatmode on a server? but allow tp with mapwriter?

    Portal guns and mystcraft books are fairly easy to acquire. If you're feeling especially Monty Haul you could even just give them some guns and portal spawners.

    Getting Chest Inventory - FTB Unleashed

    Here, but the function names have been changing recently. Those listed there may not mesh with those actually available to you. Use the code I mentioned above to get an actual list of the functions a peripheral has.

    How do you go and progress through FTB Monster

    The domain doesn't like embedding. Shows for you 'cause you already had the image cached. Everyone else can view it by just dragging it up to a new tab.

    Getting Chest Inventory - FTB Unleashed

    OpenPeripheral is in there. Should be able to tell a computer to wrap the chest as a peripheral, then use the functions that gives you to query what's in there. Running by memory and a minimal amount of experience with OP, an example would be something like: chest = peripheral.wrap("right")...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    It does add "rocky" hives etc to the world, at the least. We've been running it on our server these last few weeks without apparent issue. Haven't seen anyone document exactly how the supposed issues are triggered, though apparently there's a YouTube video out there somewhere which goes over...

    Why isn't Monster getting attention?

    I'd say this has a lot to do with how long the player has been playing. Throw a whole bunch of mods in one pack, and no one developer is likely to see their mod being played the way they intended. However, anyone who's been playing modded MineCraft for a while will quickly get bored at the...

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    Yellow dots on all sides. Right-clicking the energy cell with a wrench changes the redstone panels in the middle of each side, but doesn't change the dots in the corners like it does with eg a hardened energy cell. I can place a redstone energy cell in the exact same position and it'll connect...

    I place a conduit next to a resonant energy cell. They don't connect. What gives?

    1.8 Snapshot - Underground Biomes in Vanilla

    Java's not limited to one core. A lot of what you read about how MineCraft could be "improved" is written by people with about as much knowledge on the matter as yourself, so take it with a grain of salt. ;)

    1.8 Snapshot - Underground Biomes in Vanilla

    It's true that porting could net some performance improvements, but the drawbacks in other areas outweigh them far too heavily. And performance could be improved with what they've got, quite frankly... it's not like it's Java that's tying the game down to a minimum number of threads. Though I'm...

    1.8 Snapshot - Underground Biomes in Vanilla

    Erm. MineCraft has a game engine of its own, though it does borrow some open source components. That game engine is written in Java. If you're thinking that other languages like C are "game engines", then you're still off the mark - programming languages aren't game engines, full stop. Porting...

    Did you somehow get the idea that Java is a game engine? :|

    ... so what game engine is it using now?

    DW20 pack, severe lag.

    Can you narrow it down to a tick rate issue within a certain dimension?

    DW20 pack, severe lag.

    Our hosted server is running that pack. The CPU/RAM usage frequently shoots right up and stays maxed out, don't know why. We don't experience lag on the client side (except when performing actions that'd justify it; eg clearing silly amounts of water), so whatever's going on is yielding to our...

    Updated server and biomes are bad, need help

    Indeed, if you don't like it, don't update the server running that world.

    What exactly is offensive about being told to play in creative mode?

    There's nothing wrong with playing creative mode. There is, however, a problem in pretending to play the game "as intended" while running mods like eg MystCraft (which makes it very, very easy to skip huge chunks of gameplay that other mod authors had put in place). If you're going to "cheat" by...

    Hellish Alveary

    I don't get the difficulty - modest bees are nether-compatible from the word go.

    Counting items in barrels (Or before entering barrels)

    BuildCraft gates can be configured to throw out redstone signals when items pass through them, but it'd be difficult to use them to determine type (especially since a fast flow of items, let alone STACKs of items passing at a time, may be uncountable). I made a system similar to what you're...

    1.8 Snapshot - Underground Biomes in Vanilla

    "Our case" as in "modded MineCraft users case". Yes, I'm aware that we don't "have" to upgrade (unless we want bug fixes for whatever the current world-crashers are). But unless you play vanilla, upgrading is hardly so easy.
