Yeah normally it's easy to kill a wither in a 3x3x3 room of obsidian (they just sit there and can't even wither you while you melee them to death) and it's always worked when I've built them underground. This time around I didn't feel like digging and built it on the surface....with the space...

Kinda, I used to play FTB on my old 2.1GHz dual core Toshiba Satellite L500D. The specs on it sound alright for Minecraft-related games, but it only cracked 20fps on a good day with FTB Ultimate and Optifine. I played games on it right up until last summer (that means Christmas holidays in...

Went to all the trouble of killing a wither boss and building machines required to make a PortaSpawner, got excited when it was finally done because I had a lot of spawners I wanted to transfer....just to find out that it's a FRICKIN' ONE-USE TOOL! I'll go back to Openblocks and the Block...

Quests help because they add variety to the gameplay (they help you learn unfamiliar mods) and provide information that you'd normally need to find on a wiki. If quests aren't necessary then the book can just be stored away.

Is it still planned that the Tech modpack will have quests? It'd be a freakin' awesome modpack just to have that feature alone because then there's goals to work towards.

The thing that bugs me at this point in time is that I don't want to invest more time into 1.6.4 modpacks if the 1.7.10 packs are coming. First world problems....

Nice way to start a religion argument, I believe in creation but I don't bash on people who say the Earth was millions of trillions of years old. There's enough of that religion/anti-religion bashing going on already.

Answer: In theory, yes. Supernovas and cool stuff happening in space as observed by us today happened thousands of years ago because light can only travel so far in a year. So to see what the earth was like in 1900, you'd need to travel 114 light years away and get a pretty good telescope to...

You know what's really laughable in all this, it's the fact that conspiracy theorists are pointing out that the US hasn't returned to the moon since Apollo 11 and start to freak out about alien invasions on the moon discouraging any return missions. They can't seem to learn that there's a thing...

Are you using Buildcraft pipes? If so, experiment around with diamond pipes. If I don't want overflow I sometimes use a diamond pipe so that items return back to the chest if whatever I'm trying to fill up is full. It's all about fiddling with the diamond pipe whitelist system where the item is...

You know an idea for a mod that'd be really beneficial is a proper single-player economy. In fact I've looked everywhere all over the modded Minecraft community and haven't found anything similar, however there was an economy mod on a server that sparked my interest and got me thinking. So the...

This is my current FTB Monster survival map, it's in the early stages and I haven't started on a factory yet. The reason being, I prefer to stay away from the big buildings because they end up becoming eye-sores to look at. The house is my own design (and in the past I've been terrible at...

Height is only a physical attribute, I'm sure Kirksey has the heart and soul of a true warrior...

You could probably get a rough estimate by researching the time period from the release of Minecraft 1.6.4 to the time when Tech World 2, Agrarian Skies, Monster, Direwolf or any of those 1.6.4 modpacks were added. I'd do it but I already have enough research to deal with in my engineering studies.

Yep that was the problem, I didn't pay attention to it because in 1.6.4 I think it's disabled by default. Still not getting over 250fps but it's over 60 now.

Yeah I thought it was going to be a great update as well...I was hearing good stories about optimisation and 10% increases in fps. But I swear honest to goodness, I cannot get 1.8 to run at more than 60fps :/ Even with these settings, it won't go over: Max Framerate = Unlimited, Graphics = Fast...

Weren't Mojang saying something that for the 1.7 update they added something like 500,000 new lines of code? I don't know a whole heck of a lot about game programming, but it seems like a lot for what was basically a biome update (granted they also removed Herobrine, but...y'know).

I take that as a 'yes' lol

Has anyone else been having glitch issues with 1.8? This morning I updated and started playing single player and found I couldn't adjust the chunk render distance without the graphics going spastic in-game. Then just now, I tried joining the Hive mini-games server and got booted for 'suspected...

You know what, the recent Minecraft updates feel a lot like the Microsoft Windows operating systems. 1.6 = Windows XP (awesome and flawless performance) 1.7 = Windows Vista (big changes send quality downhill big time) 1.8 = Windows 7 (a bit better but still a dog's breakfast)
