Hitting some snags..

Loaded up 1.12 to play on the pledge server, and hit a snag. I had finally found tormented cotton in the dream world after searching about 5 vanilla biomes and going through a few dozen sleeping potions. The patch i found was very close to some lava, so i had a landmark. The server must have rolled back a bit, not showing the work i did last night. But knowing exactly where the cotton patch was, figured it would be no problem going back. Unfortunately, the icy needle that used to light things up a bit, is no longer giving off light in 1.12, and i burned up a 6 pack of potions stumbling around in the dark looking for cotton and playing tag with the nightmare. With zero visibility, there is simply no way to find the cotton, even knowing where a patch is. You can't take your time to move around, or the nightmare catches you and kills you. But hard to run in the dark, praying you'll find the cotton. I tried clicking on items ahead of me hoping for random chance, but hit a sheep, who then helped the nightmare kill me :)

Between that and not being able to make some of the metals, i'm sort of stuck.

With the metals, I've dumped and reloaded Java, but brass is still silver, etc. Is there a specific version of java 7 to download? It's giving update60.

For some reason the light was bleeding over onto a lot of the witchery stuff.
So it got removed for now. Sorry :(

errr...that is going to be tough. With the rarity of cotton and it only appearing in small patches in certain biomes, i spent 8 hours finding it on the pledge server. I basically just kept running and hoping to catch a glimpse of it before dying. Then quaff another potion and start running again. But now, even knowing where it is within a 50 block area I'm having trouble finding the patch in the dark before getting eaten by the stupid nightmare. Until you get the cotton, you can't get a good dream with daylight. Anyone have a method for doing this I'm missing? Can you trap the nightmare somehow? I know killing him just gets you another.

Curious, anyone got some good defensive base ideas or maybe know of another thread with screenshots for said things? I am just really starting this modpack and so far am hiding in the dirt (Still working on my smeltery). I figure regular build probably wont cut it and would love to see some ideas on where to improve my builds.

I think the only really secure base is still a sky-base. Limit the ability of the miner from getting to you by having lots of air blocks between you and the rest of the world. I think what I had in season 1 of my videos would still work well (though maybe a big higher would have been good). For season 2, I'm trying a bit more conventional method with a moat around the outer wall, but I really don't know how well it's going to work against the invaders yet. We shall see...

Of course, there are tons of different ways to build your base and defenses which is the fun of Minecraft and finding your own way in the world. :)

I think for a lot of folks, the skybase isn't bad to start with. Gives you room to learn the pack a bit. After that, i think the fun is to still play minecraft and build things, just using the basic defenses you've learned to deal with the invaders. My current build is platforms in a redwood forest. Lets me build something pretty, sill be a bit off the ground. Drawback is burning down the house.[DOUBLEPOST=1403021913][/DOUBLEPOST]

Too much time spent on those glutton free muffin recipes! Dammit man, stay focused![DOUBLEPOST=1403022012][/DOUBLEPOST]So, 1.13 (coming out in an hour) will have glowing needles and an alternate enderchest recipe for the spirit world, hopefully not involving recipes from the stalled muffin project.

So my friend and I have started a new BnB server (1.1.1) last week. Things have been going well and we have been enjoying it, TY Eyamaz for your hard work.

We are at the point where we want to go to the Nether, we are stuck on creating the flint and steel to light the portal. The recipe calls for steel instead of iron. The only two ways I know of to create steel is Tinker's Steelworks and Metallurgy. Tinkers requires lapis for the controller and Metallurgy requires Manganese. So far with all of our digging we have not come across either in the overworld. Are they available int the overworld and if they are at what levels?

You need to use the wood and lava trick. Place wood next to the portal and lava next to that. Eventually the wood will catch on fire and light the portal. There are plenty of YouTube videos showing it.

Fire charge? I don't remember what drops them, but I've got a few already.

Fun fact, in vanilla you can craft the fire charge from mob drops in the nether. Helpful if your portal gets hit by a ghast and you lose your Flint and steel.

Ahh great, sounds easy. I was wondering if another fire source would light the portal. I have never had to use anything else.

Thx for the quick reply Superckl!

You don't need lapis for the Tinkers Steelworks controller. You only need lapis to make a deep tank controller, which is not used to make steel. You only need to build the high oven, not the deep tank. Tutorial here. Once you have the high oven, you can convert iron into steel. You also don't need to have redstone to convert iron into steel. You can substitute aluminum dust or sugar instead of redstone.

Is there any way to turn off the maximum weight / encumbrance features? I tried setting it to 0 in iguana tweaks to disable it but had no luck.
