Update an old Modpack

[Catbro]

Hello everybody, my buddy and I are using the FTB Beta Pack A, for reasons. Is it possible to update the mods and minecraft itself to 1.4.7. Like Mindcrack. We can't use the Mindcrack pack, because his PC is too slow to handle all the mods, if we're playing on our server. And is it possible to add some other Mods to it? Like Extra Bees, Redpower 2, Wireless Redstone, Soul Shards.

If not, it would be better if we just escept the lags.

There are plenty of tutorials out there on how to add and remove mods from the pack in the many videos about it I believe Direwolf20 shows how to do it in his FTB launcher video, aside from that the configs for the packs have most likely changed significantly so updating with your current world would not be easy as most of the IDs would mismatch and cause bugs so you are better starting fresh, if you care much about anything you have just rebuild it on a new map in creative and start from there. Also all of the mods except I believe extra bees that you mentioned are already in the Direwolf20 and Mindcrack packs (as far as I am aware with Mindcrack not 100% on its mod list)

I already tried to add a new version of enderstorage to ftbbetaa, but when I launched the game, it freezed at the blackscreen and nothing is happening, that's why I'm curious.

I would guess the version of enderchests you added is for MC 1.4.6/7 and you will be on 1.4.2 hence why it didn't work properly.

That makes sense. What if I add a server client version of minecraft which is 1.4.7 and we update ours also to 1.4.7 (minecraft.jar) will it work?

No the mods you currently have for the game will be out of date, your best bet for making it work is to give up on your old world and simply start a fresh world in either the Mindcrack or Direwolf20 pack removing any extra mods you don't want to reduce lag for your friend.

Nice this helps a lot! Do I simply delete the mods on the server (in the mods folder) to remove 'em?

 

[NTaylor]

Yeah just delete them from the mods folder.
