As far as I've seen watching the twitch stream testing of the new DW20 pack, you can get the bat form but cannot fly until you have visited the Nether.
Incorrect. First thing I did after I spawned was find a cave, find a bat, kill it, and I was flying around, just like that!
Could someone please give me a list of steps to try to get the direwolf 1.7.10 pack to work? I downloaded it but it keeps on going to vanilla minecraft. greatly appreciate it if you can help me. I really don't understand how to get to work properly. plus my ftb launcher is now acting weird and wanting to know the steps of how to completely redownload the launcher.
I often replace the FTB folder and reinstall the launcher. Just make sure you've backed up your "world folders" in any of the modpacks you might be playing, otherwise they'll be lost forever. Just copy the save folders to another location on your hard drive.
But if you don't care about old worlds, just find where you installed FTB and delete that folder. Goodbye!! Off to the recycle bin for you. Then simply go get a download of the launcher off the FTB website, and run it. That will install a brand new fresh FTB. If you have problems after that... then the problem isn't with FTB.
