You can trade other villagers to get emeralds e.g. 21 wheat, 17 cooked fish, or 15 paper for one emerald. Also in some villages on mystcraft worlds (not in the overwold) there is a mystcraft house with writing desks with pages and sometimes a hidden chest with more pages.

Maybe it's because I'm using Direwolf20 pack version 5.2.0? (click on the 'recommended' button in the top right of the launcher to get it)

This is not a let's play but a demonstration of the crazy and sometimes useful contraptions I build in Minecraft FTB. Here's my latest build. It's a villager spawner and sorting system that turns zombie villagers into villagers. Enjoy.

Thank you :)

How do I automatically remove a minecart from a track? I use a cart dispenser to place the minecart on the track, but I can't figure out how to take it off.

Thanks. I've improved it a bit more by adding separate timers for the redstone energy cell updates and frame moves. I made a short video about it: There's a world download link in the video description if you want to inspect it closer.

After making that video I realized there's a bug when you use gates in that way on frames. They don't update until you force a block update near them. As I didn't have the space to do that, in the end I had to remove the gates and put the whole thing on a timer.

Are you using 32 bit java perhaps?

I didn't add anything to catch saplings yet and the block breakers don't collect saplings. But adding transposers or obsidian pipes should fix that.

I thought this was worth sharing: I've made a frame machine that cuts fir trees sideways. It produces over two stacks of wood every 11 seconds... three times faster than a 5x5 multifarm. Another advantage is that it uses bone meal instead of apatite, so it's renewable. Picture: Video:

I like the centipede drive. Not only is it faster than the inch worm drive and jumpdrive but I expect it will also be able to move large frames smoother. Each motor has to move the frame only one block so it is unlikely to run out of power and get stuck.

It's basically a frame motor connected to a 9 blocks long frame with power line above and redstone below. When the redstone pulses the frame moves nine blocks. When the frame motor reaches its final position, it is recycled around the back on a conveyer belt of frame motors. I like state...

I love frame machines. I just finished my "Quad Quarry Monster". It's a floating frame that carries 4 quarries. It deploys the quarries, replaces energy cells as needed and moves 9 blocks when the quarries are finished. To make it more challenging I did it without using turtles, computers or...

You can also use pneumatic tubes to fill up the inventories without using gates but you have to connect the humus to the narrow side and the fertilizer to the long side (if you use a 3x5). After some derping around I got it to work with item tesseracts:

you should probably add a delay after setoutput to true ( sleep(1) ).

Shouldn't it be redstone.setOutput("back", false) ?

I'm a big Direwolf20 fan (although I like Etho's videos as well) so I chose the direwolf20 pack to be able to rebuild his contraptions in my world. From reading the forums I got the impression that Mindcrack forces you down the path set by Gregorius, while Direwolf20 gives you the freedom to...

I added two switches so you can run the factory at half speed or turn it off entirely. I also moved the rubber chest to a better location so it won't cause lag when it overflows. If you still have too much lag, turn off one of the quarries in Age 5 and turn off HV Solar array production (gate)...

Age: 44 Gender: male Race you identify with: caucasian What you enjoy most out of the game (choose one); building (contraptions/automation). I don't like fighting, I play on peaceful most of the time. Do you play mostly SMP or SSP: SSP... tried a few servers but I couldn't find one I liked...

Yeah you can have multiple transmitters and multiple receivers on the same frequency. Not sure what the maximum throughput is but I transmit 192MJ/t. It seems to be very good at distributing the energy too: everything seems to be getting plenty of power with two quarries running at full speed.
