If its a serious server, they probably have or should think about setting up a mystcraft lava ocean world just for lava pumps, and then use the enterchermic pumps there. Its a lot cheaper to load an empty ocean than the nether with all the additions to the nether that are in most packs(I generally don't like chunkloading the nether). But then again, ideally there might be someone on the server into bees who got lava production licked and can supply it without the need to have any dimensions loaded
yes, yes I am. once you've a pearl, you're good to go, but getting that first pearl is always the problem. I've seen people often complain about not being able to find an endermen and kill them for their pearls
Oh also:
Stick:its a lever, you need a stick
Or a blaze rod?
Honestly I was thinking something like a Blaze rod, Obsidian Block and Ender Dust (since Levers work as Redstone signal, and it would be difficult to realize the bobbing Ender Pearl.)
While I'm inclined to agree with you, this took a ridiculous amount of space to make a simple on-off system for my basic pump.
Some vanilla redstone mechanics:
You can place two normal blocks (say, cobblestone) right next to the redstone engines and power those blocks with redstone.
The engines will receive the signal indirectly from the blocks.
I mean, place the blocks in the corners of the 3x3 area around the pump. Place a block on top of the middle engine and a single dust on top of each of the corner blocks. Then place a block behind the middle engine and place your receiver on top of that pointing at the block on top.
You would need a total of 4 blocks (of cobblestone/stone/whatever) and 2 redstone dust. The area of the platform needs to be only 3x3 plus one block.
So my vanilla solution is cheaper than the modded solution rhn told you, and takes less space.
Heck, I'd like to see this as its own mod, not tied to WRCBE. I tend to play "low-tech", so I avoid satellite dishes. Give me "magical" versions of all the vanilla redstone activators... ender buttons, ender levers, ender pressure plates. I don't care HOW expensive the recipe is, I'll use them.
Well, I might get miffed at four eyes of ender and four diamond blocks around a lever... If the OP's recipe is too cheap, make it an eye of ender instead of an ender pearl, or require more of them, or require a blaze rod instead of a stick.
Hmmm... To make it standardized, use an eye of ender in place of the ender pearl, blaze powder on either side of that, and whichever redstone activator you want in the middle.
/frackin' autocorrect... I'm NOT trying to type "render"!

Just to give everyone an update, I currently downloaded all the mod making software and am trying to learn how to do this myself.
I've got a basic lever modeled, but again I'm still learning. I'm reading tutorials on how to program code and stuff. Here's an image of what I have so far:
So there in that pic you can see the basic shape of the lever. Surrounding the lever will be a housing which you can diamond-lock. Then at the bottom you've got the pads there.
I'm working on it! I know nothing about programming though so any help is GREATLY appreciated! I have Eclipse and I'm just o_o right now.

That's incredible! Keep up the good workJust to give everyone an update, I currently downloaded all the mod making software and am trying to learn how to do this myself.

Siigari I really like this idea I don't know why Chicken Bones didn't alredy do this. I think this will be better than WRCBE.
I was thinking the same thing, but I wouldnt mind having this too. So long as the lever's position synchronized across the same channel.
I would also like to add that you could use the redstone brick block. It activates things within a 4 block radius (just noticed it the other day). I think its TiC that adds it. Just drop one block near the engines and watch it go. Sure its more expensive, but it looks cooler. Isnt that all that matters in the end?
I would suggest talking to Chickenbones about making this a PR into enderstorage, just had a look and he has a basic tile entity which you can extend which helps with all the colours and stuffJust to give everyone an update, I currently downloaded all the mod making software and am trying to learn how to do this myself.

I sent him a message over at MinecraftForum.net, waiting for his replyI would suggest talking to Chickenbones about making this a PR into enderstorage, just had a look and he has a basic tile entity which you can extend which helps with all the colours and stuff
What if you don't have a mod that adds a block activator? I thought about this. A mod like Ender levers would also be used in magic and adventure packs.
Sorry can't help. I am experienced enough for it but very busy right nowJust to give everyone an update, I currently downloaded all the mod making software and am trying to learn how to do this myself.
