It's OpenBlocks'

But setting up a cursed earth farm with grinders is an easy way to get mob essence as well
Right... Sorry! Too many mods with a bunch of random, generally unrelated things in them. I'm sort of glad that I haven't looked into RandomThings much yet... then I'd be getting three mods mixed up!

...which is really annoying, having to separate the two liquids when there's only a tiny trace of mob essence that's not worth bothering with. I guess the reason I never had this problem in my last world was the Vacuum Hopper I installed which probably got the XP before the sewer did.
I had the same problem, and Ender IO fluid conduits don't have a filter, so I used one fluiduct between the sewer and the EnderIO conduit.

I'm playing the unstable 1.7.10 pack playing around with enderIO and a few other mods i'm not familiar with. I built a Simply Jetpacks jetpack cause flying, and I jump down into a pool of water at the bottom of a ravine. Suddenly I get a message in chat that says "User is about to die. Activating hover mode." I've died at least 4 times from fall damage and it waits until i'm jumping into water to "save" my life. wtf, really? really? o_O

Mfr sewers collect mob essence.

I had the same problem, and Ender IO fluid conduits don't have a filter, so I used one fluiduct between the sewer and the EnderIO conduit.

Another method would be to use an MFR Liquid Router in place of the fluiduct... which I only mention since I'm playing 1.7 modpacks where there are no TE conduits yet - maybe someday we'll get em, I hope?

This is going to sound really dumb as i've been playing since 1.4.7, but I just found out a few days ago that it's Railcraft that adds sulfur ore instead of Thermal Expansion. Does Railcraft even use sulfur for anything? Only recipes i'm seeing is Thermal Expansion, Factorization, and gunpowder.

Many mods add Sulfur(TE, RC, IC2, Mekanism, GT, Natura, etc.), but they are usually Oredict'ed to work as the same.

As for Railcraft I think it was added purely as an alternative and "realistic" source of gunpowder: Saltpeter, Sulfur and Coal. (Pretty sure it is RC that adds the gunpowder recipe)

Love this tip, for removing all vanilla blocks and see ore distrubution, tried it in Direwolf 1.7 and it works perfectly. Backup your world first, I'm warning ya!!

"If you have CoFH Core installed, you can type: /cofh clearblocks <YourIGN> 100 200 100 stone dirt water lava gravel sand

Those names following it only works for vanilla blocks, for mod blocks you can use the <ModID>:<InternalName> format. I usually only have to use that for chisel's marble and limestone."

Thermal Expansion also has sulfur, Direwolf 1.7 modpack has both sulfurs in it, TE and Railcraft. When I pulverize one of the ores, I get TE sulfur as a rare by-product. Can't remember which ore tho at the moment. And I'm mining in Extreme Hills at lava level and the amount of RC sulfur is pretty amazing. I hope they make other uses for it, I generally never use gunpowder in my games so sulfur is not very important to me. All it really does is fool me into thinking I just found either a huge gold deposit (wrong) or a huge Yellorium deposit (wrong again!).

http://railcraft.wikispaces.com/Sulfur (Ore)

"Sulfur Ore can be found in Extreme Mountains and Extreme Mountains Edge Biomes. It is found around layer 10, but only near lava pools.
When broken it drops several Sulfur Dust. Sulfur Dust is a key ingredient in making Gunpowder, though there may be other uses in the future."

Enderminy's are very cool indeed. In Direwolf modpack, I have a small island near my base that is Ominous Woods biome. At night, I can fly there as a bat and change back into myself, then I can stand on the beach and hit one Enderminy and immediately retreat into the water. Standing in the water, I can hit the Enderminy's as they all come at me, however they cannot hit me because as soon as they run into the water, they teleport back onto land!!! I'm collecting my ender pearls this way without having to get to The End and deal with the dragon (haven't even found a Stronghold yet).

Oh, a question - has anyone experimented between a Tinker's Construct sword with Looting III on it, and one of those Ender IO swords that the description says "increased ender pearl drops". Which of these swords will provide more Ender Pearls? I haven't tried comparing them yet.
