What's the best thing you've ever built on minecraft?

[oath2order]

Which mod is that? Still FTB?

 

[oath2order]

Gallows can you send me a link to the FTB thing because I want to install it and I don't know anything about which FTB there is and it's confusing. Is it different to install than other mods?

 

[Bacon Boy]

What would be the best mod launcher in your opinion, Gallows? Kind of getting tired of the limits for bukkit and forge is too freaking finicky. I might try implementing a new mod launcher on the server.

Click the download tab, and then click download exe. When it installs there will be different mod packs for you to download. I recommend using DireWolf or YogPack. They both have a good mix of things in them without it feeling too overwhelming.

@Bacon Boy

So far I'm finding that FTB is the best. The server stuff is all in the same place I directed Oath to.
If you were to do a FTB server I'd get on like every day. XD

How do servers with mods work? Would I need to install the mod too, to play on the server?

 

[KarlaKGB]

Downloading FTB now, there isn't much I need to do apart from use the default settings?

 

[oath2order]

How do I install new mods? I like Rei's Minimap.


Which apparently comes with it. Awesome.

 

[Prof Gallows]

I'd suggest going onto the FTB wiki as well. Because at first it's going to be pretty overwhelming.

I'm pretty sure most, if not all, of the mod packs on FTB come with Rei's Minimap or the Voxel minimap.

 

[Bacon Boy]

Is there something similar to World Edit for it?

 

[Prof Gallows]

Not that I know of. WorldEdit won't work with FTB because it uses Forge instead of Bukkit.

Aww I just got Pixlemon for tekkit, its pretty fun lol only gripe is that it's hard not having things to kill for food.

I freaking love Rei's Minimap.

 

[Prof Gallows]

It is really useful. But makes the map item useless. XD

My nuclear reactors(two of them) had a meltdown and completely obliterated my lab, farm, magic lab, and my house. The only thing that didn't get destroyed was my storage shed, so thankfully most of my valuable machines and items were spared. I've relocated to the vanilla village close by in the desert biome and built an underground rail system leading to the now non-irradiated crater where my lab used to be.

Will post some screenshots in a bit.

World Edit works with Bukkit. Forge uses something a bit different. Forge's version isn't all that good. And wait, so FTB runs on Bukkit?

Other way around. lol
I did mess up a bit on wording that. FTB runs on Forge. WorldEdit won't work with it.
there ARE ways around it but it went way over my head. What exactly does WorldEdit do anyway?

 

[Prof Gallows]

Alright, here are some screenshots of what I've been up to lately.

Spoiler: Old location and new

This is where my old house and lab used to be. I had a few nuclear reactors in my lab, and one happened to melt down causing a chain reaction. It used to poison you when you came into the area, and there was pools of lava but I cleaned it up and added in a railway that leads to my new lab.

This is my new magic lab. Nothing fancy yet, been collecting jars of essence mostly.

Lots of it. lol There is a single jar each for every magical essence. Some of them aren't full yet though, since the rarer materials are harder to come by.

Spoiler: Other stuff

Starting up another bee farm so I can get new trees(mahogany, cherry, etc.)

Currently this is the only science related thing I have going on. The black bits are a volcano and I have a pump piping lava into tanks.

Which is then pumped out of the tanks and into my geothermal generator. So far I don't have it powering anything.

 

[Bacon Boy]

World Edit's an easier way to create large things. Like my giant castle. The walls were done using world edit and so was flooring of the roof. For a better snapshot: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/worldedit/

Currently, once Bukkit updates, only Ops can use it. I don't really know how to change that quite yet, but I'll figure it out eventually maybe.

My game is very laggy

Yeah, that'll happen. You're running about 60+ mods all at once.
Without running any machines or anything, the world is still trying to generate all of the new content like the new biomes, beehives, thaumcraft altars, and the insane amount of new ores.


@Bacon Boy:
Ah I see. So it's not really needed, per say. You could still build in creative mode, it'd just take longer.

there is also a mod in there somewhere that lets you make schematics of buildings and you can place them into a builder and it'll build it for you if you have the materials in the machine.

So, any way to speed it up? Or just wait for the stuff to load?

I removed a few of the mods though. Down to 53.
