I'm not sure if this is specific to this mod or just my inexperience in adding new mods to the mod pack (on both the client and server side). I downloaded the 1.4.2 jar from that place and put the file in my mods folder. I also added it to my mods folder on the server i run. I can log in to the server just fine, and searching NEI does show the new items. Sadly, though, NEI doesn't give me the recipe when I click on it and if I try and create the recipe that I found in the source code (red stone in top center, glass surrounded by iron on middle row) it doesn't do anything. Is there something I'm missing here?
EDIT: It figures that as soon as I post this, I think of something.. I completely forgot to check the .cfg file that generated the first time I booted the server up again and saw that Distributer was marked as disabled. I changed it to true and I can now craft distribution pipes! BUT, when I place the recipe in a crafting bench, it doesn't SHOW that I'm going to be able to make anything. Only clicking the blank spot where I should be able to pull the item out from does it extract the pipes. NEI still doesn't show a recipe either..
