    Player entity...block?

    Haven't heard of it having anything to do with mobs, myself - FTB wiki reckons that it spawns mobs faster then usual, but has nothing to say about any unattended spawning properties. But it sounds like the basic idea is to just set up a mob grinder with a floor made out of the stuff for them to...

    Player entity...block?

    There's no such "fake player" block per say, but depending on what versions of MineCraft + mods you're using, there may still be ways to do what you want.

    Internet troubles

    Assuming you're not running something silly that's chewing up all your bandwidth (think about what software on your system wants to update itself, but isn't polite enough to ask permission first), odds are it's a signal thing. Just to confirm, you're saying you've got a regular wifi modem, and...

    using computercraft for secured base entry

    Note that if you place a disk drive next to any CC computer, and put a disk with a "startup" file on it in the drive, then the computer will boot from that file on its next startup. Say they put an empty startup file on the disk, that means it simply boots to the command line prompt, giving them...

    Industrial Craft 2 nuke crashing server.

    Once I was the last remaining player on a server that was about to be shut down. Since I had op privs, I took the opportunity to reduce everyone's builds to craters with nukes (taking "before" and "after" screenshots as I went). I ran into similar problems. In the end I found that if I encased...

    Horizon's pack - Can only eat in Nether

    What actually happens when you try to eat? Can you eat those berries from whatever mod it is that adds them?

    Horizon's pack - Can only eat in Nether

    So you're saying that first you couldn't eat "around base" (a week ago), then later you couldn't eat on the overworld at all (a few days ago)? This is sounding more and more like something to do with PermissionsEx. It's also sounding more and more like something an admin has intentionally done...

    The Question of Java

    Erm. You know the instruction/address size of a system has very little to do with the maximum data value size, right...? There's nothing stopping you from using eg quad floats in a 16bit environment if you so choose.

    Horizon's pack - Can only eat in Nether

    I don't have the slightest idea what might be causing it, but: Have you tested other dimensions as well? Have you tried running like 1000 blocks away from where you usually hang out (while remaining in the overworld) and attempting to eat there? Have you had access to creative at any stage?

    power from cobble in horizons

    Putting aside that the same could be said for the furnaces (who has that many diamonds spare at the start of the game?), once you have these bees (bearing in mind that you break into their line about the same time you start the royal/industrious lines, and all three species in the line give you...

    power from cobble in horizons

    One of the lower-tier bee lines (demonic) lets you do much the same thing. Their combs give phosphor, which goes in the squeezer along with cobble to in order to produce lava - enough to power the centrifuge/squeezer, with plenty left over. I'd say at twelve diamonds per volcanic furnace, bees...

    How to Make Purebred Bees?

    If you have a drone which a common trait on it, then breeding that with your common/forest princess will give a 25% chance of getting a pure common bee per offspring. Assuming the drone's other race can't trigger another common mutation, in which case the chance is slightly better. If you have...

    How to Make Purebred Bees?

    When two bees are bred together, the resulting offspring randomly chooses one race from each parent (baring in mind they've got two racial traits to pick from from each parent - active and inactive). For example, if you breed a demonic bee with a excited bee, the result will always be hybrids...

    having trouble getting on new modpacks

    So how much RAM does the launcher assign by default with 64bit Java? 'cause if it's still just 1gb then you really do need to go in and increase it. The new packs use a LOT more RAM than those prior, for who knows what reason.

    Install Turtle scripts on...

    Try typing this into a computer, see what happens: pastebin get nKQZwgtv bbtetris If it doesn't work then the server owner has http (and hence pastebin) access disabled, meaning you either ask him to allow it, type your scripts manually, or get direct access to your computer's folder on the...

    Using Unleashed pack and I was wondering two things.

    Personally this is why I feel we'd all be better off if Mojang stopped updating. Typically all a mod pack user gets out of their updates is some "new" content that was often already available via a mod they already had... only they need to abandon their world to get to that new content. The...

    Trouble getting copper...

    So you're saying it's not possible to make your previous Nether itself a MystCraft age, alongside the new Nether (which would be treated as a "vanilla" dimension)?

    ComputerCraft and Monitoring (and some RedNet stuff)

    Don't worry about understanding it all in one go - experiment with making some smaller scripts until you've got a clear idea what each of the commands do, and don't be afraid to ask if you still don't know what's going on. It strikes me that I did make a mistake in there - it wouldn't be...

    Trouble getting copper...

    MystCraft is likely the way to go, but I think you may be better off just mining elsewhere in the overworld. Set yourself up with a portal system of some sort. These days I like to go dungeon diving until I get my hands on a portal gun and some portal spawners - with those, you can then use the...
