What are the popular boss mob mods right now? I want something rather hard and with good rewards.

Twilight Forest has a few boss mobs, but they aren't that hard depending on the mods you have installed.
Lycanites mobs will always be a real b****** but they aren't really "boss mobs"
There's Wydlicraft (probably spelt that wrong) which adds very powerful bosses, and very powerful tools. But they are still pretty tough.

Other than that I feel boss mobs are lacking majorly in modded minecraft... expect JordsUtils to have a boss mob or two at some point

There is the chaos dragon from draconic evolution that is really tough and can kill even creative players

Blood Magic has a boss summoning system, and so does Ars Magica 2. You could also look into Nevermine.

Blood magic bosses are mid-blood magic, and not everyone likes the grind in early game BM (I am in that group). As for AM2, I don't know what it's like to be honest, as it seemed too complex.
But you did remind me of Witchery, that has "bosses" (demon summoning) - although, I don't know how hard they really are

Death is really scary :S

The only Witchery mob I have every faced is the nightmare... which we all know is a bundle of joy if you have no way to get materials from the overworld to the spirit world

I haven't even gotten that far. So far I've seen one Ent. :/

You don't need an ent to go to the spirit world, you just need an apple from witchery

But that's as far as I had progressed, back in 1.6.4 at least. I cut down a tree.

lol, the learning curve for GT is steep for the first few days, but man, each obstacle you overcome makes you feel like a hero

To make an iron pick, you want to make a pickaxe head out of iron, and then combine that with a stick.

Thanks, I've already make my first iron pickaxe and found a iron vein..

But what is the difference between crafting the pickaxe head and the whole pickaxe?

And I would like to make pickaxes with thaumcraft shards, ppl seems to make them in early game but in NEI
the recipe need thaumium rod, is there a way to make them in early game?

I really didnt like magic mods, especially thaumcraft cause it takes tooooooo long to complete it, 1 time was enough for my whole life

 

[Pyure]

I *think* the standard iron pickaxe recipe only exists because its hard to remove and/or some recipes actually call for that specific item ID (some recipes really do require an iron pickaxe).

Thaumcraft-shard-tools were amazing up until a few weeks ago when the thaum-rod requirement was added. So, yes, now you need to do thaumcraft to make those tools. You'll also need to be able to make a file first to make that rod.

I also don't normally like magic mods, but in the infitech2 pack there's an awful lot of integration between GT and TC4, and there's some really significant tools and shortcuts available to those who learn it (amazing tools, mining machines, faster common-resource acquisition, enchanting, etc)

It's not the standar recipe, I make them with 1 iron plate 2 iron ingots, file, hammer and 2 sticks

Oh I see.. Well then Im going to skip them for now..

 

[Pyure]

Sorry I meant non-pickaxe head. I realize its not the super-traditional three-ingots-two-sticks recipe

Btw, a nice thing about making pickaxe heads is that they stack. You can carry around 64 pickaxes if you want two and only take up two slots (64 wood and 64 pickaxe heads)

 

[hisagishi]

I think something like

while true do

    local iPulses = 1;

    for i = 1, iPulses do
       
        rs.setOutput("back", true);
        sleep(0.5);
        rs.setOutput("back", false);

        iPulses = iPulses + 1;
    end

    sleep(2);
end

should do it, but I haven't tested.

I've tried this and it doesn't seem to want to keep the variable. Is it possible for it to write the previous variable to a table/function/etc. I am trying to get this code to be able to have a small as possible frame quarry but have it moving in an ever expanding square.

Is it possible to keep track of redstone output/input amounts then add a +1 with steves factory manager? I am infinitely better at SFM than I am with computer craft.

I know this is probably a really stupid question but can I play the infinity mod with minecraft 1.8? If not when will I be able to?

No, when ALL the mods are updated for 1.8... So quite a while.

 

[KhrFreak]

I doubt i will be infinity either, We'll probably have some new pack based on which mods updated to 1.8, which mods didn't and any up and coming mods that come out in the gap between when modding starts to take off for 1.8 and when some of the bigger mods like Ender IO/ TE4 etc actually get around to updating

This happens while loading the client, FWIW.

EDIT: apparently, it didn't like loading w/o Optifine. Will look into it tomorrow...

Why does a cursed earth mob farm insist on spawning the cats that accompany witches OUTSIDE of the enclosed spawn area? I have to keep going out there to stop the damn meow-ing. Very annoying sound, it's loud too once there's a bunch of em hangin around.

I guess it could be worse, it could be putting the witches outside too. I hate witches.

Probably because when it spawns the witches (I assume you mean EnderZoo wither witches; I've never seen vanilla witches with familiars), the witches themselves choose where to spawn a cat or two, and they don't care if there's a wall between them and the cat.

I guess you could fix it by making the walls of your spawning room thicker, or just placing it underground. Setting up another wall outside the room with more mob-killing stuff could work, I guess, as would removing the outermost meter or two of cursed earth within your room.
