It's also pretty easy to get criticals on farm animals if your sword isn't quite there.

Jumping = hunger depleted, which I try to avoid as much as possible at this point.
Yes, we have put a Silky Gem onto both a pick, and a hammer in this version of the pack. Make sure you don't have Luck on the tool, as that conflicts with Silky too.
Server crash report:
Do not try to use a Magnetic Force on a player who is in the Dream World as it will start swirling symbols arround you and the targeted player and then the whole server end up crashing and needs to be restarted. Luckily, the world doesn't seem to get corrupted ^_^

If it's showing you 910MB max, it's ignoring your 2gig settings in the parameters somehow. What's the "RAM Maximum" slider in the launcher set to? Confirm that the Java Path points to your Java 7 -64? Turn on the "Use Optimization Arguments for fast computers", which does the arguments Eyamaz posted for the BnB pack automatically. Only other thought is to specify 256M or 512M of PermGen space, but I think the launcher handles that now. I know I don't have to specify it anymore.Running this pack on a new machine (i7-4771 w/16GB RAM) I am running into a java performance issue - framerate is fine (80 fps or so on this machine) but every second or so I get a lag spike when used memory (in the F3 view) hits about 85% - then it garabage collects down to 76% or so - then in a second it is back up to 85% and I get another lag spike. It always says "of 910MB" even though I have Xmx and Xms set to 2048M.
~ > java -version
java version "1.7.0_60"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_60-b19)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.60-b09, mixed mode)
I have tried this (what I used to run B&B on my other machine):
java -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CICompilerCountPerCPU -XX:+TieredCompilation -jar /data/minecraft/ftb/ftb.jar
and this (which is what I use to run any other pack):
java -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M -XX:+UseFastAccessorMethods -XX:+AggressiveOpts -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+UseAdaptiveGCBoundary -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=500 -XX:SurvivorRatio=16 -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:UseSSE=3 -XX
Same results either way. Any ideas?
Ahh that is interesting. I guess when I specify memory arguments it is just giving the launcher more memory to work with, not the game itself. I changed the memory allocation in the FTB launcher options and set that optimization argument for fast computers and it seems to have solved the issue... at least initially... will have to see if it comes back when it runs through all the memory I allocated.[DOUBLEPOST=1402978384][/DOUBLEPOST]
Yea that's it. I forgot that is one of the things it conflicts with. It has luck on it. I didn't add the luck - was one of the freebies from levelling up. I guess I will have to level up another pick a bit at some point for the silky gem.
I ended up doing something similar to that using running water... filled the center in around the portal with gravel and sand, so I could dig down to the portal, then surrounded that with a few layers of flowing water. It was still a suicide mission. The electric gas shocks crazy far through any materials. And that crazy blindness effect... anyone found a better way of dealing with these now that they always seem to be covered in vast quantites of electric gas? Is there even a point in dealing with the portal or will another one just show up in 15 minutes? That seems to be what happened with the last one I closed. At least for right now the zombie miner is usually falling in my defenses before he can do any/much damage.
Also not sure how the portals work with respect to the ocean biome. Seems like they will not land in the ocean (at least I haven't seen it happen yet) and my world is heavy on ocean (way too heavy - was an issue from the start gathering food and everything). If they always appear on land I might be better off just leaving the portal... or I will have nothing but invasion sites and electric gas on the landmass.
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've covered myself with compressed cobblestone/dirt underground. Still testing to see if invader zombies with miners can break through. Base is kinda small but at least I got a smeltry, chests, furnaces, and TiCon tables to fit so I can work while staying safe (for the meantime).
Check let's plays on youtube. Anesos a few posts up has a nice base going. A lot of people build a moat of some kind, some with sludge, I build a 2 deep moat with running water that ends on a cactus (its easier in the beginning).
I guess it's time to get the lava buckets out. Found tons of them and might prove useful.
My (rather simple) defense for the Hidey-Hole. Works amazingly well so far.

I just build a stairway up using natural blocks like logs, leave a gap at the top, and a short walkway to by house. House has a 2-5 block gap at the bottom with the lowest bit made of natural block materials. I usually have 1x1 pillars supporting it for the look. Nothing bigger that an invader could make stairs from. Later I work on defenses to kill the invaders, so they can't form huge pyramids.
