Have never posted on this site before (actually forgot my password and had to reset it), but chose to do so in this instance to state that, even though I've spent an incredible amount of time building everything over after deciding to move here from the Ultimate pack, I still believe the that the full fix is the way to go. From the way it sounds, it will have to happen eventually to keep the modpack up to date, and I think now would be a better time than later when even more time is put into a faulty pack.
Would this also fix the issue I noticed with walnut/chestnut trees dropping focus lenses and some wierd purple dust I can't pick up?
