    Forum change notice?

    So ... So these have actually been curse/twitch forums? ... Yea, the page footers are definitely curse footers. Wasn't this actually run by the FTB people in the past?

    EvE discussion moved from "What have you discovered"?

    The scary thing is not that someone is doing that in high security space. The scary thing is that a group was looking at doing exactly that at about one year into EvE's life, realized that they could (exploiting bugs in the response of the AI police ships to get away with it), and I don't...

    Need recommendation for forum software

    So what's a good forum software to use if you want to leave PhP version 3 behind? I don't like Discourse, but other than that, what is good, and end-user friendly?

    How do you register a name on irc.esper.net?

    So I am no longer able to chat on irc.esper.net. When I log in, there is a message telling me to register, and I am in the channel "RegisterYourNameMoron", and I got sent there from minecraftforge. Fine. But there is no help on how to register, no instructions, and the room title is insulting...

    Mod development: Saving per-dimension data in user-editable format: how?

    I'm trying to improve rainfall in my flowing water fork. And I'm running into a real problem: determining sea level. I can make a good guess -- 62 in the overworld, 49 in the end. I can make good guesses for mystcraft/RfTools type dimensions -- "getAverageGroundLevel()", badly mis-named...

    What are current 1.9.4 / 1.10.2 client-side interface mods?

    So what is the state of 1.10.2 client-side mods for improving the UI / feedback? The "classic" mods of this type from 1.7.10 are NEI/waila and all those add-ons, In-game-info, fog nerf, minimaps, and zoom mods. What are the mods like this that are ready for 1.9.4 and 1.10.2?

    Village technical q: is radius "spherical" or "boxical"?

    Is the radius factor of a village "square" or "circular"? Up until now, I've thought it was square. But I'm watching a massive iron golem farm video that relies on manipulating village positions, and it claims that they are circular.

    debugging help: Triggering profiling crash in vanilla

    AAAAAAA... Help me internet, you're my only hope. I am getting a crash in vanilla code when I try to use the profiler. I have no idea why. First, my support routines (the intention here was to give me a place to put breakpoints): public static void startProfileSection(String sectionName)...

    Idea feedback wanted: Re-tagging biomes after chunk generation.

    I'm looking for feedback on an idea to fix biome tags for mods that generate large bodies of water without tagging their biome properly. Requirement: Some way to run something last in chunk creation. Should run before any chunk decoration, as decorations can be biome dependent. Ideally, run...

    Requesting code-review of vanilla/forge code (1.7.10.1492)

    Alright, I think I need a code review of Vanilla code. Minecraft.java, line 1008, runGameLoop: Starts section root, then goes through the sections tick, preRenderErrors, sound, render Then, inside render, it starts display Then, on line 1061, it ends the section, which goes back to render...

    Sending a message to players on login?

    I want to send a message to players on login. There is no "Player logged in event", at least not that I can see. 1.7.10. How do I detect a player logging in, and send then a chat message?

    How to debug memory usage in java programs (minecraft)?

    I want to start looking over tenured memory for things that have been there for a very long time. Reason: My pack is accumulating a lot of active memory over time. Suspicion: Some mod data is being cached per-chunk, and not unloaded when the chunk is unloaded. What I want to be able to do...

    FTB/Curse Launcher: Can modpacks supply launch args?

    For the FTB/Curse launcher: Can a modpack specify any launch args for Java? The thinking is simple. Lets say that a modpack behaves badly with the default (bad mismatch between Java's assumptions and Minecraft behavior), and a set of arguments to adjust garbage collection and compiler...

    Java: What am I missing here?

    What's wrong with this declaration? private volatile int guard=0; Eclipse tells me that only "final" is allowed. Attempting to compile gives me /Volumes/UserData/Users/michael/Documents/Games/Minecraft/Modding/git/Finite-Fluids/build/sources/java/com/mcfht/realisticfluids/FluidData.java:329...

    Male/female pronouns

    Background: The discussion of "they" as singular, and issues with addressing unknown people came up in the RED thread. It doesn't belong there, so I'm posting here. Using the male pronoun by default DOES offend. It is inherently problematic, because it sets up a "assumed male" effect. Consider...

    Tech mods: Why have a power system?

    I think I asked this in another thread, and it got buried/lost. It's worth a thread itself. Why do tech mods feel a need for a power system? === Vanilla uses fuel for the furnace. After that, it's just a matter of time -- furnaces take X ticks per operation if the fuel is there, potions take...

    Looking for help with Forge, and multiple mods

    I want help setting up a forge environment. I want to work on multiple mods, and Forge itself. I want each mod to be under git control. I want all of the details for a mod to be in it's own build.gradle file, and not have to worry about modifying a single shared build.gradle file. And when...

    Getting started with trees (forestry / extra trees)

    So lets say I want to do some tree breeding. I have no interest in bees; I just want to breed up some decorative trees in survivial. In the past (147? 164?), a glass building with some forestry tree leaves would generate so many butterflies that no bees were needed. But, in 1710, getting...

    Mystcraft 0.12

    (I did not see any other place to discuss mods outside of an FTB pack here.) Mystcraft is now out for version 0.12.0. It attempts to address the issues people have raised about profiling, and also attempts to address the issues that people have about "What's a populator versus a terrain...

    Is there interest in a stream of editing?

    We've seen streams of people playing minecraft. And streams of people modding minecraft. Is there interest in streams of editing a playthrough recording into a final finished video?
