    MystCraft 0.10.0.00 Discussion Thread

    Simple solution..... someone just needs to make a "villager type" detector. That way we can make self-managing infinite villager farms and whisk away all the Librarians to a a safe, brightly-lit hole in the ground. Everyone else will be drowned in lava.

    MystCraft 0.10.0.00 Discussion Thread

    Yes, if you have 2 villagers they will repopulate. You can use a portal gun 'G' key or gravity gun to relocate villagers. Or use minecarts. Make a building like in the video (if you don't want to exploit the glitch then only do 3 stories tall), and they will repopulate. Stable ages...

    Yeah, or this. (Not sure if 1.4 fixed the intelligence bug)

    Villager farming. Though, I don't know if Mystcraft villagers are restricted to worldgen, or if they spawn like normal.

    MystCraft 0.10.0.00 Discussion Thread

    I like it. I assume page prices are based on rarity. Not to mention it revives the use of villages/villagers, since you can trade goods for Emeralds. Right now villages are, IMO, the red-headed stepchild of Minecraft. Mods in Minecraft have focused way too much on mining. It's refreshing...

    MystCraft 0.10.0.00 Discussion Thread

    Well, Ages can't be modified once created. Sometimes you forget a symbol, or get undesired instability, and create another. Even 10 ages per player on a 5 player server and you get my 700 mb estimate.

    Redpower going the way of Nandonalt's Mods?

    Yeah, honestly I wish PowerCraft would be added to FTB. It's long overdue. Applied Energistics would be nice, but I'd understand if some would consider it OP. Either that or Logistics Pipes. BuildCraft has become much more lag-friendly in recent versions. Throw in Immibis MicroBlocks as you...

    MystCraft 0.10.0.00 Discussion Thread

    1. Mystcraft always has had the ability for server operators to disable symbols (well, since 0.93). I assume this is ported over. 2. I doubt it'll be on MindCrack because the same issues apply that always have applied with MystCraft: It's unfeasible to have 30 players creating books and...

    Redpower going the way of Nandonalt's Mods?

    One of these days I'll hunt down King Lemming's address and a 12 pack of Founders Centennial will show up on his doorstep. I donated $5 to Azanor, with the note "5x more when you open-source it".

    Redpower going the way of Nandonalt's Mods?

    There is no source code. Eloraam will not give it out. I'm sure tons of people would work in it if she did. Heck, I would probably even throw my hat in the ring, given it's such a cool mod.

    Redpower going the way of Nandonalt's Mods?

    Why not? Hoppers are much better, they suck out and insert items intelligently. They basically replace Pipes + Gates or RP Tubes + Lag for dumb operations like Ore Processing set-ups in a lag-friendly manner. No longer blindly piping items out under the faith that your furnace isn't full, and...

    Redpower going the way of Nandonalt's Mods?

    Forge may have issues due to the rendering updates and API updates, yes. But acting like redstone is going to break everything is seriously misguided.

    Redpower going the way of Nandonalt's Mods?

    I don't know why people get the idea that 1.5 redstone will "break everything". Redstone behavior will be exactly the same as before. It always trailed off over 15 blocks. 1.5 adds Comparators that let you make analog logic and compare how much 2 signals have dropped off. 1.5 also includes a...

    What enchantments can go on the advanced diamond drill?

    Yeah, and it's nearly impossible to get any of the vanilla pick enchantments other than Efficiency on books. Silk Touch has a 1% chance and Fortune II a 1.73% and Fortune III a 0.5% chance. That's Level 30 too. You want to use the full-monty if you're going for those. I just got done...

    How to get Soul Stealing enchant on a Diamond Sword

    Anvil repairing was released 5 months ago. In the meantime they fixed numerous bugs, including the putting-enchanted-books-on-anything bug. If they considered it huge, they likely would've fixed it by now. Doesn't mean it won't be fixed at some point. But just stating it's probably an easy...

    Buildcraft MJ question

    Conductive pipes will always explode if no power is being consumed (they fill up with 1000 MJ and then explode). The Quarries will eventually hit bedrock, and will no longer consume power.

    How to get Soul Stealing enchant on a Diamond Sword

    As others mentioned, vanilla has an OP "bug" where you can simply rename the tool for +2 XP Levels and perpetually reset the # of repairs (never being penalized for the +2 XP Levels per repair for multiple repairs). So if people want to nerf anything, nerf vanilla minecraft. /thread explodes

    How to get Soul Stealing enchant on a Diamond Sword

    Pro tip: You can combine two lower-level (LV III) swords to get a LV IV sword. It's usually easier to do it that way. You must be either really unlucky, or not using an enchanting table with a full 15 bookshelves, because I get Soul Stealer enchants like they're water, usually at least LV...

    T5 Endermen Spawner but how to kill them

    Yeah, the bad thing about the Lava - Quicksand - Water thing is all the creepers will probably die from the lava since they sink too slowly in the Quicksand, making the water pointless :( You'd want to do: Lava - (Cover Strips / Air Gap) - Quicksand - Water - Water Then you get enjoyment...

    T5 Endermen Spawner but how to kill them

    You can actually suspend liquids with RP2 Cover Strips (I like Glass Cover Strips). Far superior to signs/ladders, since you can mount them in the air, not attached to anything. Just make rows of them (don't really need a grid, since you can "walk" on cover strips). Makes for very cool...
