Look behind you
How do I use Elevator Tracks?
Put them on a vertical wall in front of any normal horizontal track. Then put any normal horizontal track on the ledge above it. It will act to slow your descent coming down, but will only lift your cart up if you power it with redstone.
Also, it works as a ladder!

Oh. You have to power it with redstone...

How do i remove mystcraft ages that are no longer used.
I have made tons of the worlds and most of them are just crap.

I run my own server. And i am thinking that it will improve the speed and performance of the server if i clear out worlds never used.

Figure out the dimension number of each unused mystcraft age. Then go to your world file and delete the appropriate dimension files. As far as performance increase? Except for startup time, I doubt you'll see much change, since the chunks shouldn't be loaded unless someone left a chunkloader in it.

I don't even think there will be any difference in startup, as I think dimensions are really only loaded as soon as someone visits them(or chunkloads them). So what is left is a bit of files taking up a bit of your hard drive, which is also pretty negligible as long as you havent explored large areas of the dimensions.

I think the area around the spawn of each world is always chunkloaded, like the Overworld. But, this may have changed.

The spawn area of the "world" is yes. But not every dimension. This is where definitions get important.
When you run a tps command, it will list the processor time and number of loaded chunks in each dimension. I haven't done testing but DIM 0 (overworld) always has had chunks loaded, but I didn't note if I had loaders running or not.

Will something terrible happen if my laptop's memory percentage reaches 100% while MC is running? BSOD? Fatal crash?
My laptop has 4G of ram, and I allocate 2G to minecraft, but it soon goes up to 3G or above, and Task Manager says that the computer is then using ~95% of its total memory. I assume that upgrading to 8G, and thereby being able to allocate a bit more, such as 3-4G, would help here? Or is there another way, aside from removing some mods?

Assuming you're on windows. You should not BSOD. Unless of course, you turned off the page file, then you'll BSOD.

You probably will, however, have serious performance issues.

If you are seeing 100% ram usage you'll probably start seeing more hard drive activity as the system starts writing ram out to your swapfile. I find that my system runs fine with 8GB, but you do not want to allocate more than 4GB to Java/MC or you'll start seeing the effects of Java "Garbage Collection" issues (the ability to free up memory once it's not needed any more).

I just loaded up Thaumcraft 4.2 and Thaumic Tinkerer in a test instance, and have the automatic 1 block step up like wearing boots of the traveller. If I disable Thaumic Tinkerer, the effect goes away, but when I reactivate it, it returns, so I know it is something with Thaumic Tinkerer, however, I can't find any settings inside the config that make it do this. Any way to disable it?[DOUBLEPOST=1409193794][/DOUBLEPOST]

When playing with Iguana Tweaks for TiC, is there any way to prevent a weapon from getting Fire Aspect?

There's a machine that turns it into pure essence and you pipe it into a jar.
Please note: this is about the extent of my knowledge of how to do TC4, as I'm not into magic mods really.
