Tip for vanilla hoppers: placing carpet on top seems to stop items getting hung up on the edges. No idea why it works but it does. Hopefully it doesnt just erase the hung up items. Must try the hopper right on top. Vacuum hoppers can be a real pain when they pick up things you are working on.

I'll come right out and say it: I'm cheating, at major milestones I take a backup by copying the saved game directory elsewhere. I try not to do it too often, only after something which was really grindy. I think it goes against the intent of the pack to do it before doing something risky, I...

In the gigantic 350 page thread Iskandar said a few times that it was intended to be a challenging pack for experienced people. Perhaps that should be statedfirst and foremost in the description on the launcher before people download the pack. Throwing people in the deep end is standard...

Openblocks tanks. 4 obsidian and 5 glass panes = 2 tanks so you can make some ticon tool parts and about 20 tanks with that stack, I used a heap when I got my harvester going to deal with the sludge until I managed to build a sludge boiler. You can also use them for mob essence which you will...

It was on the 9th block. The babies still went missing. I even tried carpet on the hopper just in case the baby chickens were going down the sides of the hopper. It doesnt matter now, once I got a few stacks I put a hopper on a jabba barrel for eggs. about 16 chickens fill a barrel in a...

Hopper with water is good because the flowing water counts for farming. smash your eggs to grow some chickens nearby and push them in there too, beware baby chickens can still drown in the 8th water block you need to wait for them to be full size. The same hopper system will gather the eggs...

I wonder which is less effort, if you have a stone barrel, a crucible, a furnace and a hang glider the nearest city is this far: I have a simpler solution for dealing with zombie pigmen, Placing a glowstone nook on the corners of the obsidian doorsteps you get with auto-generated portals...

Less cheaty travel: Make a nether portal in the corner of your base, go through (carefully) then go straight back. Fly to the city with 10 obsidian (easy to make with a stone barrel) and a few stacks of cobble. Secure the top of the first tall building you see, remove all of the concrete off the...

havent got one yet, that's why I'm doing it. Damn chickens wont follow anything else!

no no no just the grass. as in green dirt. no bonemeal.

sift dirt, lots of dirt, get grass seeds. lay out a square of dirt, mine is 5x5. plant grass seeds in middle, let it grow and all turn green. right click with mattock in a checkerboard pattern - leaving every second square green so it grows back really fast. about 1 out of 4 times you will get...

single water source block (covered with planks so I can walk over it), squid farm under the ship. sifter with autonomous activator to the left (with some chickens inside to use the hopper to grab eggs too) cobble gen to the right, and as much farm as you are willing to dig for coming toward you...

First some early game tips which have probably been done before but I havent seen mentioned or seen in peoples lets play on youtube. I like to make everything serve more than one purpose in skyblock style maps. (Some may not be 100% useful because I have "cheated" by turning special mobs off )...

There seems to be something wrong with 3.1.2. I get the same problem with a mac and a PC, it stops at the last part of the downloading, there is about 700k missing somewhere. I forced it back to 3.1.1 and no problems. Also dunno if its a fault or not, but my platinum upgraded farm is laggy as...
