    Need help with a simple circuit

    I need help putting together a circuit. Vanilla parts preferably. I just can't think of any easy way to Google for this one. Lemme explain: I have 10 different inputs, each representing a digit. Any of those digits could be on or off, but I want to run THAT through what I'm expecting to be a...

    Looking to catch up

    Yo yo, ftb chat! Been a while. I'm back in the game. A few weeks ago, a buddy of mine started a new 1.14 realms server and we all got the bug again. I was actually really impressed with the changes since 1.12. I think they absolutely nailed it, particularly 1.13 (I haven't really explored the...

    Conquest: Le Monde

    Not a proper title. Le Monde is the name of the map we're playing on. Conquest Reforged is the primary resource pack. Both are worth clicking, I really think this is as pretty as Minecraft gets, at least for a heavy modpack. I've been narrowing this pack down for years, and indeed nothing is...

    Most stable Minecraft version for a modpack?

    It's about that time again, my people are clamoring to get a new minecraft pack up. I want to put together a a quick pack for it, but I'm not sure where exactly to start. What version of Minecraft is the best to work with right now? Primary concern is stability, but mod selection is a factor as...

    Gamebreaking potion generator bug

    I I'm hoping this is more of a generalized issue that someone might have some experience with, because otherwise, this might be a real huge pain to fix. My expectations are low. Short version: Ugh. Longer version: Ughhhh!!!! So, I'm putting together the last pieces for my rainbow generator...

    Lag Goggles

    Someone help me understand this mod more. I've only recently discovered it, but as simple as it seems, I'm not sure it's actually helping me find anything. For example, I go into my laggiest chunks and run a scan and it does its thing for 30 seconds and highlights all the blocks that are...

    RFTools help!

    Halp! I am stuck on a specific thing, but I'll be getting deeper into RFTools, so the thread can be a general ode to RFTools in any way you feel appropriate. But first! Halp! I am building an elevator for my latest Tower of Power. I ended up building half the damn thing before realizing that I...

    Pipes. Again.

    Ok, I'm sure I've asked about people's favorite item pipes before, but I feel like things have changed enough to ask again (specifically in 1.12 at that). Not to mention I have a ton more experience now and will actually understand what people are saying now. So, I'm trying to keep lag to a...

    mid-level Power Generation

    I was going to ask about this in the simple question thread, but I figure I'll give it a shot here because this isn't a simple question. Specifically, I'm looking for a(some) good mod(s) to add to my pack for some mid-tier RF generation. Right now, I'm pretty much on the Extra Utils...

    What'd I doooo???

    This is gonna be tough to diagnose since I don't have a real mod list here, but 1.12.2 custom pack, all the cliches. I'm in my underground bunker where all my main processing is. I'm running RS and have a decent amount of automation going on. While I was working on some tweaks this morning, it...

    DrBretto's VR* Adventures

    New world, new thread. *VR not yet implemented. This pack IS designed to work with Vivecraft, I haven't gone through all the tweaking I need to do to make it work right yet. I'm confident I will get it to work, I just have been setting this pack up for pretty much all waking hours for the last...

    Help me build my next pack: VR Edition

    My new graphics card will arrive today, and I'm gettin' thirsty for some Mincecraft. Being that I'm also on a VR kick lately, the idea is to set up a nice little pack for me and my friends that I can playing in 2D or VR interchangeably on the server. So, this means a couple of things. First...

    The Ultimate Minecraft Machine - What do I need?

    I'm looking for deeeeeeeluxe. Vivecraft in 1.12.2 with mods and shaders deluxe, and when not in VR, I want it in pristine 4k with 128k textures if at all humanly possible. So, I'm on the fence about how to accomplish this. I have an alright PC right now. A 4ghzish quad core i7 (I do not know...

    FTB and Vivecraft

    Anyone have any real world experience with this yet? I tested Vivecraft over the weekend. I don't really have time to play it play it right now, but I popped in just to check it out. You can install a forge version and I was able to get in there with some basic mods, but it does not like at...

    So I've been playing Factorio....

    Has anyone seen any mods or know of any in the works that uses your excess mats for Science! like Factorio does? And if no, why the hell not?? For those unaware (though, I would imagine this is so far up everyone's alley here you probably already know), in Factorio, all that extra iron and...

    Anyone know of a pack that keeps that vanilla feel?

    My friends have goaded me into playing vanilla again. This is a fun little diversion and all, but eventually, and not far from now, I'm kinda going to want to do *more*. But, playing vanilla again reminds me of what you miss when playing modpacks: -No gravestones, so death is very meaningful...

    A new concept for a modpack

    So, I've been thinking. (Pause for groans) I was self admiring my progress on my RS unit, joking to myself about how if it gets any more complex, it'll literally gain consciousness. A point I am not alone in thinking, see the thread on Colin's Adventures. As @Inaeo pointed out, that's the same...

    To void or not to void?

    I've reached the inevitable crossroads that I run into in any modpack where I begin to amass more resources than I could ever possibly use, at least realistically. But, like many Minecrafters, I suffer from extreme hoarding syndrome. And the problem is, I just can't ever shake the feeling that...

    Time for me to L2Build

    I'm looking for some resources to read up on at work. Here's the deal. Sometimes I can get inspired and build some neat stuff, but for the life of me, I can't build a damn house that looks like a house. I'm wondering/hoping that people know of some good resources for tips for building nice...

    Hardware - The Ultimate Server: What would it take, what would it do?

    Looking to take my server to the next level. I have 5-6 people interested in putting up $200 each. We are looking for a large (160+ mods) 1.10.2 modpack, ideally I'd like to boost the view distance even further as well. I am looking for smoothness. What would I need to focus on? As it stands...
