    1.7.10 Alpha Packs

    What I've found is that SFM is not a generic item transport mod. You have to tell it what things go where.

    1.7.10 Alpha Packs

    If you'd really like to know the contents of DW20, it's in closed beta now, and Wyld has been streaming it on Twitch (I think I saw Bacon Donut also showing it off). There are a lot of known favorites (of course), but it's not for me to start rumors about what Dire is only considering. I will...

    1.7.10 Alpha Packs

    I'd love to debate this, as I have been running Lite 2 quite well with those additions on my old baked potato of a laptop (with the helpful inclusion of Optifine, without which even base Lite 2 is too much). I think one or two reasonably compact, well-designed magic mods would round out Lite...

    1.7.10 Alpha Packs

    ...is that a problem? Honestly, I would love to add Hydraulicraft to Lite 3 for private use (in fact I probably will), but the Lite series isn't really a full-on tech pack, and TE plus MFR already cover ore processing and crop farming. As it stands, to Lite 3 I'd add CraftHeraldry (last chance...

    1.7.10 Alpha Packs

    I've played around with additions to Lite 2 for a while. I tried the Tubes mod, and I had the same problems with render lag and routing pipes, so I removed it. My current changes to Lite 2 are: * Disabled Agriculture and Switches since I never used them. * Disabled Fancy Fences because they...

    Thoughts about open source Minecraft alternatives?

    Remember that Minecraft is also proprietary -- and has been this whole time. It's about licensing and permissions. If Notch hadn't started selling access to the game, would we all have bought into it? Only by having it in places people go to purchase games do most people realize it's available...

    Thoughts about open source Minecraft alternatives?

    It looks cool, but it's not exactly Open Source, is it?

    Thoughts about open source Minecraft alternatives?

    Yes, but in which language? ;) TUG. Oh wait...

    Thoughts about open source Minecraft alternatives?

    As I understand it, the problem with Minecraft that makes it slow is crappy coding, not the choice of language. Python would at least encourage better coding habits, since there's much less boilerplate crap that goes into every file (and thus more mindspace that can be put toward the algorithms...

    Thoughts about open source Minecraft alternatives?

    Well, folks. I'm seeing a lot of "I want to make an open-source clone in THIS language." So why not Python? It's not really any worse than Java, especially if you separate the server and client into separate engines (for threading purposes). Unity3D is really a rather-not for me, though it's not...

    What about stone, or refined metals/minerals? Would you get special effects from eating certain other materials?

    What's new in modded minecraft today?

    Yeah, Ultratech. I already had someone send me a PM on the Minecraft Forums about this other guy's mod with that name. I guess I'll have to check him out, seeing as he coded something and I just have designs.

    Sharpness IV or higher diamond sword (or a high-sharpness Tinkers cleaver has a tendency to kill creepers quickly). Or a bow with a decent Power enchant (III or higher), possibly plus fire.

    What's new in modded minecraft today?

    You spin a crystal really fast while also generating an electric spark (Tesla is very steampunk contemporary). When the spark is strong enough, spray your steam outward in a jet. Bam! Ionized pathway to target: Lightning ray.

    I hadn't realized the auto-disenchanter would let items in its input slots get pulled out by itemducts. That sounds like a bug to me...

    [1.6.4]Crash Landing [Hardcore, HQM] version 1.1.x BETA STABLE

    That's not a memory error. That looks like a problem with LWJGL or OpenAL (the second is where Paulscode audio stuff happens a lot). You may want to backup your files and reinstall FTB again.

    Not all spawn point terrain is good for villages. Players never seem to spawn in mountains, but there are biomes (like jungles) which just don't seem to have good village terrain. However, if the mod always made a village spawn in the nearest reasonably flat biome, that would be cool.

    [1.6.4]Crash Landing [Hardcore, HQM] version 1.1.x BETA STABLE

    ArmorHUD should work just as well, though it has a bit less variety in what it shows you.

    [1.6.4]Crash Landing [Hardcore, HQM] version 1.1.x BETA STABLE

    A lot of folks are having this problem. Apparently for now you have to use a /hqm command to detect it and move on.

    As Direwolf20 showed on his single-player LP recently, you can right-click the bus with a colored cable to change its color. The cable will also be placed, but you can use a wrench to get it back if it's in the wrong position.
