    Witchery Misconception (wall of text)

    Not even 90% of its potential. Maybe 70%. Most of the things listed actually proved the point that Witchery isn't as useful in SSP. Don't get me wrong, it's a worthwhile mod to use in SSP anyway because it's non-invasive and still has plenty of neat features. There's no reason NOT to use it...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    And if they piss of the YouTubers, they'll get the one of the most devastating PR nightmares possible.

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    I feel like the modded community is going to suffer not from the acquisition itself, but from important modders like cpw and large chunks of the community jumping ship before anything happens. Now, if crap actually does start happening, I'm out. I feel like TeamCoFH and Co. are making a new...

    Recent Events Discussion (RED) Thread

    Why wouldn't you use FMP? It can be of use in almost any modpack. As for why it needs power, well.......frames, especially RP2-style frames, are pretty broken OP for free. Frame mining machines are probably the best type of automated mining there is, period, and having that kind of power for...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    Java isn't bad. Minecraft's code is just terrible from what I understand.

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    I wasn't really trying to be hyper-negative or anything. I just don't see Microsoft actively improving the product and frankly if they just leave it as-is I don't expect much change, as you pointed out.

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    IF this goes through, I can see four possible outcomes: Microsoft doesn't really change much. Nothing serious happens. Life continues as normal. Microsoft ruins the product and this community largely dies or is severely damaged. Microsoft ruins the product and a Minecraft-type game is...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    This reeks of BS. Notch, who is still very much involved with Mojang (remember, Mojang isn't just Minecraft), is pretty vocal about big-corporation crap like this. I doubt he would let this level of nonsense go through without leaving the company.

    The Update to 1.8

    That isn't enough anymore, because it's questionable that whatever they're doing to improve future updates is even working. If it was, that wouldn't be a problem. These are the paid devs of one of the most successful games in recent history, and with that level of experience and funding I...

    The Update to 1.8

    There are less modded users but I'd say that the average modded user is more dedicated to the game and more active than the average vanilla user. There's parts of vanilla like this too, such as the resource pack community, too. Point is: with the last two updates, Mojang effectively pissed off...

    Taumcraft infusion crafting never completing

    Hoppers can auto-fill the pedestals when things fall off. But yeah, you'll need candles.

    The Update to 1.8

    Yeah, the more worldgen something adds the worse it gets. Fastcraft COMPLETELY fixed the issue for me though.

    The Update to 1.8

    That's odd. Maybe it's because I have both BoP and Natura that I really NEED Fastcraft. Outside of a bit of lag due to some weird thing with Botania power generation, I sit at 60 FPS flat all the time.

    The Update to 1.8

    I don't think modded MC is playable for ANYONE without Fastcraft, so yeah your comp isn't exactly a toaster. I had the same issues myself. I'm talking about the FPS complaints I've seen where people who are already on lowest settings in 1.6 are finding 1.7 basically unplayable due to FPS...

    What mods did Tobuscus use in Minecraft

    It was a custom, private modpack for 1.4.7 most likely from the description (so not FTB). Aether couldn't be in it though.

    How do you feel about AE2?

    Once you have the 4 accelerators it doesn't take that long to actually grow.

    Botania - An innovative natural magic themed tech mod (Not in beta any more!)

    I'll check the logs, but I don't think anything's showing up there. I thought it might be the rendering, but now I think it's a cross-mod reaction. EDIT: Nope, absolutely nothing in the logs. Was harder to replicate initially in a brand new test world, but after I filled the Mana Pool...

    Botania - An innovative natural magic themed tech mod (Not in beta any more!)

    I'd like to report a problem I've been having in my SSP world as I've delved into Botania. For some reason, a few of the power generation flowers are causing MASSIVE FPS lag. The Hydroangeas and especially the Endoflame are the ones I've seen be laggy. Specifically, when I feed fuel to my two...

    What's new in modded minecraft today?

    That's some sweet-looking stuff you got there. On a mildly related note, apparently magitech mods are the new big thing, because I'd like to announce that I and a friend of mine have begun work on an RF-themed magitech mod we've been planning for a while. I'll let you guys know when we make...
