    That actually makes a lot of sense. The area where I set up the tree farm is in a jungle biome, I deliberately chose that because I wanted to make the industrial aspects of tree farming look like a small tree plantation in the jungle. But there is a *lot* of undergrowth; shrubs, scrub oak, and...

    So, playing on a DireWolf20 server, I built a MFR Harvester, thinking I should finally automate my rubber tree farm. The Planter part of the farm seems to work fine, but the Harvester... is psychotic. At first it looked normal, cutting down trees in a smallish area. So I opted for an upgrade...

    Open Server Direwolf20 | v1.10.0 | 1.7.10 |Dedicated Host|Towns|Economy|PvP| by CraftersLand

    [Telecomtrzn] Nice server! Well along the way in building a cozy little mining base, two smelters working already.

    Enderpearls!

    I was lucky enough to find a Division Sigil in a dungeon chest, so I created a lot of cursed earth, made a mob farm that spawned way too many Endermen. Also, Enderlily seeds grown on endstone (sacrifice one pearl to pour over obsidian) will provide a slow and steady supply.

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    You can also replant them somewhere closer to your base or farm area. I'm not sure of the logic they use to spread, but I've seen some slow increase in the number of gardens over time - we're talking weeks of in-game time.

    I've planted Saguaros in all kinds of biomes, they seem to grow fine as long as they have sand. And I do get fruit, even though I rarely harvest it, it's just easier to pick berries. One thing I have noticed is that the planted Saguaros always grow straight, I haven't figured out why I can't...

    Open Breaking Obsidian Snake Stone gives missing block

    By the way, I do like the Obsidian Snake Stone for filling in the gap rows around my blood altar. Not sure if it's intended or not, but the stone has nice particle effects, really adds to the overall ambiance.

    I'm playing on a server that's using the Wired In mod pack, and really enjoying the Apple&Milk&Tea mod. Which got me wondering; is there a directory somewhere for modded Minecraft servers that feature more Japanese mods? I've seen references on Reddit to mods like Bamboo, Maple Tree, and...

    Can anyone point me to a middle-tier Railcraft guide, something that addresses automating rail networks as well as the more advanced rail options? I've built a reasonably large network, but I'm still struggling with how to make the jump to the next tier of complexity. Electric rails? Laser...

    I've been having issues with mob spawners near the altar from Blood Magic. Does the altar act like a chunk loader, keeping the spawner active even when players are logged off the server? Having to clear the base of mobs for half an hour each time I log in is getting kind of tiresome.

    Bug 1.7.10 OpenBlocks Player Grave Issue

    I think there's a mod interaction issue with the teleport effect from Flaxbeard's Steampowered mod (vibrant alloy plates in the Exosuit can sometimes teleport you straight into a solid surface) and the OpenBlocks grave marker - which doesn't activate at all upon player death. There is a visible...

    OpenBlocks 1.2.2

    I think there's a mod interaction issue with the teleport effect from Flaxbeard's Steampowered mod (which can sometimes teleport you straight into the ground) and the OpenBlocks grave marker - which doesn't activate at all upon player death. There is a death marker from JourneyMaps highlighting...

    Mod Feedback [1.7.10] Flaxbeard's Steam Power (Latest 0.29.3)

    It appears that the mod which adds a gravestone with your gear (JourneyMap?) when you die is not working well with teleportation. When I get to low health and the exosuit plates feature teleports me away from hostile mobs, sometimes I end up in a solid wall/floor, with no gravestone - and no...

    Mod Feedback [1.7.10] Flaxbeard's Steam Power (Latest 0.29.3)

    Not sure this is the right place to ask, but where exactly does all my gear go when the Vibrant Alloy Exosuit plates teleport me into a wall? Once or twice I've found it strewn down a nearby cave passage, but this last time it's just gone. Should I be looking x number of spaces in some direction?

    Just getting started with Blood Magic, for the first time ever. Things were going smoothly until I added a skeleton spawner above the altar to help fill the blood pool. At first it worked as expected; skeletons spawned, dropped down, and I killed them with the sacrificial knife. Easy...

    FTB Launcher News

    Not sure I follow. FTB won't launch mod packs without a Minecraft user ID, either. Are you saying that once I sign up for a Curse account, that's all it takes to play Minecraft?
