Feels like starting over...(pic heavy)

Feeding the hungry node. The youtubers I watch favor the Botania open crate, but I've removed Botania from my pack. Then it occurred to me that you can pipe items through the Thaumcraft item grate.

The vanilla launcher for the Mac now works with newer versions of java. Minecraft mod support for Curse Voice for the Mac is still coming eventually. As heavily as I alter the pack I play, I have decided to abandon the FTB launcher & build my custom pack on the vanilla launcher. In the process, I have decided to drop the TE/CoFH mods, Big Reactors (dependent on CoFH core), & Malisis Doors. I've added Tall Doors & TropiCraft. To keep Simply Jetpacks I've had to add CoFHLib.

So, new pack, new start, new seed, new base! Here's the 1st floor of a Mosque inspired build. Built mostly in peaceful but filled in the color in creative. From here I'll switch back to survival/easy.

Tweaking my typical crystal growth chamber to add a timing mechanism. When items go into the bottom chest, the comparator turns on the power & the items get moved into the water. When the chest is empty & the comparator shuts off, the state cell counts down 2 minutes & then shuts off the power. Might wall things in a bit, may take some fiddling before I come up with something satisfying. Also been breeding mana beans. I currently have 16 sections for 25 beans/aspect. There is a config setting to let the EnderIO farming station handle mana beans, but I'm not quite that far along the EnderIO tech tree yet.

Everybody gets kind of obsessed with the mana beans being precisely right. I'm perfectly happy to let them work randomly.

Still that's an awesome setup.
 
I like the scheme, but perhaps alternate blue and red with the white and gold, just for variety.

Or do the onion tops instead of the everyone's done it before spires.
