    New Way to speed start InfEvo Skyblock

    So I noticed Direwolf playtesting the new SkyFactory pack. I've never been interested in SkyFactory, but it did gave me the urge to play Infinity evolved skyblock again. So then I noticed the v1.2 update and the changes it brought. One of which gave us a whole new way of speed starting. Dear...

    Now that AE2 has a 1.10 release, do people prefer it or Refined Storage?

    Am I the only one who is just waiting for Logistics pipes? I've always preferred LP over AE.

    Looking for nature themed mods, please

    I applaud the sentiment, but I'd like to point out that ic2 is probably not the right example, IC2 doesn't solve all problems with just a few blocks. The examples you are looking for are MFR, or EnderIO. That said, IC2 is not nature themed... Anyway, I've recently read about a port of Ars...

    Are wolves useful?

    In vanilla, wolves are used in some AFK mob farms In some adventure maps, I have seen wolves used as combat help, but the wolves in those maps are boosted by the map maker. In some UHC challanges, I've seen participants use wolves to give themselves an advantage over an opponent.

    1.7.10 good non-endgame hammer?

    For what it is worth, the steal hammer *is* my endgame hammer. I use the 3 modifiers for silk, RF-energy and speed. Blue slime for a handle, and... Done! Thats all I need. Stone also has the stone binding property, so my stone hammer, with wood rod, is actually pretty fast once it gets half...

    How Do You Find the Will to Keep Going?

    The same way people keep going in vanilla minecraft. The best way to keep playing minecraft, modded or vanilla, is to work on a fancy project. Play the role of an artist who is trying to create a work of art, like a painting or a statue, except, the work of art can be a giant castle, a temple...

    Make America (*combat) great again!

    Without an Area of effect attack, you need to attack *each* mob at least once, regardless of HP. The swipe attack the combat update added allows you to kill *all* mobs in 1 swipe. All mobs at once! I mean: 20 kills in one attack, as opposed to 20 attacks, 1 for each kill.

    Make America (*combat) great again!

    Are you responding to my post about the vanilla mob farm? I didn't say that was new, I was trying to explain that those old ways still function. What is new, is that you can kill all mobs in one swipe, saving on time hunger and mouse clicks. Of course, mod items such as the TiC scythe could do...

    Make America (*combat) great again!

    It is still very easy to avoid having to deal with mobs in minecraft, just avoid them. Sleep away the nights, make your work/build area spawn proof, and if you need the drops, just build a mob spawner somewhere over a deep ocean that can either auto kill, or has a manual killing room designed so...

    Make America (*combat) great again!

    Vanilla Combat in 1.9+ has changed a lot, as far as I can tell, the change is bigger than what any mod I know of has done to combat pre 1.9. I would suggest you learn about vanilla 1.9 combat before you try modded versions of it or else you'll be like DireWolf20 and his silly "I don't...

    FTB Infinity Skyblock 1.7.10 Help, Venting and Discussion Thread

    Can this not be mitigated with higher voltage cables and transformers? That is what they are for, right?

    Why won't my smelter drain into my casting table?

    This is not a vanilla thing, nor does TiC add extra clay. You've been playing with modpacks that happen to be configured that way.

    Necromancy

    You know what I don't understand!? Thread necromancy is not a new thing, its almost as old as the internet itself. So why, oh why doesn't forum software these days come with anti-necro functionalities? Something like; When a thread has been inactive for more than x amount of time, it goes in...

    Mystcraft and your opinion

    The research aspect of thaumcraft is the one that was the hardest for its author to do well. Balancing it just right so it is both fun and balanced, and doesn't get old and tedious after you've done it not even once is very difficult. I think the primary focus of development in Mystcraft...

    Mystcraft and your opinion

    I would like to express a slightly different opinion. The mod Mystcraft is based on the idea of being able to describe worlds in a book and then being able to physically enter that world, just like the game Myst is based on that idea. Mystcraft is named the way it is because it was inspired by...

    Been away for a while - mod suggestions?

    Sorry for the off-topic, but I feel an urge to correct. :D Chars are always 8 bit Ints have a size that depends on the processor, they are 8 bit on an 8 bit CPU 16 bit on an 16 bit CPU and 32 Bit on a 32 Bit CPU... However, for some reason, most people nowadays assume 32 bit even on a 64 bit...

    [1.7.10] Regrowth - A WIP HQM pack - Now Listed!

    Vanilla minecraft feature/mechanic: all end portals lead to the same location in the end, distance doesn't matter. Your issue is addressed by Mojang in version 1.9. of minecraft. Portals still lead to the same location, but you can respawn the dragon. In versions prior to that, it needs to be...

    rhn's continued adventures: a build journal, guide collection etc.

    Hi, I just wanted to say, I enjoyed going through your Imgur Album. Spend at least a good half an hour going through all the pictures, if not more.

    One chunk can't interact with the environment

    FTB Utilities allows you to claim chunks via a graphical user interface. Basically by clicking on icons that appear next to your character inventory screen. Are you suggesting your niece is unable to do this? That seems rather unlikely to me. It can even be done by accident.
