    It seems like all the server host providers are outrageously priced. Help?

    Are there some widely considered good, cheap hosts for small family/friend setups? Creeperhost is the most widely known but wow are they expensive.

    It seems like all the server host providers are outrageously priced. Help?

    Managing customers email, dealing with customers who spam and get your host added to spam lists, helping customers set up forums, wordpress, shopping carts, 900 other things are all more work than running a web host. I totally get that the initial setup of the minecraft control panels and such...

    It seems like all the server host providers are outrageously priced. Help?

    Regular web hosts do all of that as well. Literally the only thing these minecraft specific hosts are giving as a value add is the minecraft control panel for easily setting up your server. Which I admit, is a nice thing, but hardly worth an extra $10-20 a month for something they set up once...

    It seems like all the server host providers are outrageously priced. Help?

    Ugh. Seriously? What a racket. Lol. It is incredible how much these hosts are overcharging to provide so little. It really shouldn't cost more than $5 or so a month for a small family/friends server for just a few people.

    It seems like all the server host providers are outrageously priced. Help?

    I was doing some research into getting a minecraft server host (just for 2-6 people, and we'll play various FTB and other modpacks over time). I was completely blown away by how overpriced everything seemed. $10-20+ a month for a couple gigs seemed insane. You can get professional quality web...

    How do you see what mods are in a pack now?

    When I right click the icon, nothing happens. I'm doing this *before* installing the pack, of course. I want to see what modpacks are included before installing it. Thanks!

    How do you see what mods are in a pack now?

    What about mods like this that have nothing on the recent file? http://www.feed-the-beast.com/projects/ftb-horizons-daybreaker/files/2259609 http://www.feed-the-beast.com/projects/ftb-trident/files/2253231

    How do you see what mods are in a pack now?

    The individual pages for the modpacks do not seem to list which mods are in each pack like I seem to recall they used to. For example: http://www.feed-the-beast.com/projects/ftb-infinity-evolved I noticed the same thing in the Curse client as well. I seem to recall it used to have a tab where...

    Why do modpacks no longer have an ftbinstall.bat? Now what?

    Without the ftbinstall that creates a starting .jar file, how can you run ftb server modpacks on minecraft hosts that are expecting a ftbserver.jar file to launch?

    How do you do it in the Curse launcher?

    The Curse page says this: What does that mean? How do I do this? Thanks!

    What happened to the awesome, wearable Thaumcraft backpack?

    There used to be an awesome, wearable, thaumcraft backpack that had excellent storage, could hold anything, and since it was worn was accessed via a command. That meant it didn't waste a hotbar slot. What happened to this item? Is there anything similar in any mod? I always want more...

    Help finding a good modpack.

    AgSkies is a skyblock modpack and right now it is iffy on servers anyway (we dealt with that recently). Departed looks really interesting. It ticks a lot of the boxes I mentioned, and perhaps I could fix the rest by adding the mods myself. I notice a few really good mods missing from Departed...

    Help finding a good modpack.

    My wife and I are looking for the next modpack to play and would love a little advice on narrowing it down. The last two modpacks we played were Agrarian Skies and Magic Farm 3. We loved them both and are looking for something with some aspects of those (especially the difficulty level) but...

    Apocalypse mod and mods like it.

    Are there other mods like Apocalypse that generate monster invasions who will attack your house/base and make mobs more interesting/challenging? What are some of the best ones and what do you like about them? My wife and I have been playing Magic Farm 3 (mod list) which has Apocalypse in it...

    Thaumcraft: How do you increase wand damage?

    Do you have a picture of this or something? Or can you explain the shape? Or is this something I need to make on the altar?

    Thaumcraft: How do you increase wand damage?

    Ok cool. I feel better. :) With that in mind, what do you think is the most "powerful" staff/wand/sceptre combo for use in combat?

    Thaumcraft: How do you increase wand damage?

    Doh. I should have known that since I've messed around with node transducers to make a charging wand table. My bad. Thanks! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (insert sound/img of light bulb going off). Yes, I am new to TC 4.2 and learning along the way. So all I have to do is dig 1 block deep all around...

    Thaumcraft: How do you increase wand damage?

    How can I tell if a node is energized or not? I've been using my normal method of setting up multiple pedestals surrounded by nodes, but they seem to be interacting and exploding all over the place. I tested this in a creative mode and no matter how many nodes I placed I couldn't tell the...
