I presume he was referring to Mojang's Snapshots and before those, the prereleases. And of course Minecraft was "released" in an Alpha stage. I'm not agreeing with him though - even Mojang didn't release an alpha version of their launcher, it's just asking for trouble.

Sorry I'm struggling to understand what you're saying. So when you run the launcher, you go to the Texturepacks tab in the launcher and you get that error message? Or When you go into Minecraft (through the FTB Launcher) and click on the texturepacks button you get this error?

It does slightly hinge of course on the players. Some people in the community will enjoy an insanely complex power system akin to UE or Rotary Craft, whilst others (probably the majority) prefer an unrealistic and yet simple power system.

An interesting mod to keep things compact is EnderIO it has power conduits that can accept up to 1024 MJ/t and can be hidden with it's own Facades. I haven't actually tested it pulling straight from a Tesseract and the mod is only in early development but it is a neat way to keep builds compact...

It's rather interesting then that you went for MJ rather than EU as your energy system, as EU is more electrical based whilst MJ is more mechanical based (in my opinion). Purely out of interest what was it that made you pick that energy system?

John Riccitiello I was looking up the CEO of EA games to check he wasn't Satan in response to a thread.

Kill it with a sword or any other weapon. It's just another mob.

Try deleting the modpack and then running FTB as administration (right-click on the FTB Launcher and select Run As Administrator), it might a weird permissions thing.

Kind of sounds like the modpack hasn't installed properly. Can you delete it and redownload it?

Are you using a texture pack?

Screenshot or it didn't happen.

Did you ever use the precursor to Origin? I think it was called something generic like EA Store Desktop Software, unbelievably that was actually worse. Origin is actually leaps and bounds ahead of that old version, but still shit. I actually own a few EA games on the PS3, but now avoid buying...

I meant to download Rotary Craft yesterday and have a play with it, but then totally forgot. is the power system as difficult as the author says? I'm all for uber-realistic power systems, but I'm also acutely aware of the fact Minecraft is played in large parts by children who may struggle with...

I'm afraid I'm forced to disagree with you frederikam, at a rather fundamental level. I don't see two mods having similar features as non-innovative. (A real world example that just jumped to mind are pyramids, the Mayans and Egyptians - as well as several other cultures, but we'll keep it...

Yeah that was actually what I was thinking might be an easy place to start, since I can probably just make a block that produces MJ based on heat differences in the environment (though not sure how to do this part).

It sounds like your machine can't handle the explosion. You should have some Forge log file, are you able to pastebin them for inspection? Also what are your PC specs and how much RAM are you allocating to FTB?

*Downloads MCP, crackles knuckles and then stares blankly at Eclipse* Yeah I have no idea how to mod, but I might actually have a go at it this weekend, I am a system developer by trade, how hard can it be to write a mod?

Actually I just suddenly remembered something. Giant wind turbines. I never used them but I always thought they looked awesome. And would actually make a lot of sense with MJ power...

Is there anything else? I think we now have all the world gen stuff, the frames, the item sorting and the redstone logic stuff. I even saw a mod the other day that does all the lighting stuff.

I just took a bit of a look at the Fluid API, it looks like you need to specify a material it is like (either lava or water). It then also needs to have viscosity (speed it flows at) and density (speed players move through it) set. All these values seem to be required to register the fluid. I...
