The Minecraft Thread

If we ever set-up a tekkit server we should totally set-up a bioshock-esque rapture. The underwater upgrade to the forcefield mod removes all liquid in an area, thereby making dome building incredibly easy. Remove all water, put up a fuck ton of glass, presto. Or if you're confident you can keep a forcefield running you can just use that. A fully powered geothermal generator could do the trick. Just remember to hit the nether for lava every once in a while.

I'm still trying to figure out how to texture right so I can create a Light Up The Night texture pack.

Swamp is making a tekkit server, we just have no idea when its out.

Fun! I plan to be that one guy crazy/dedicated enough to breed a flying unicorn or whatever the ultimate horse thing is, and tease you all by buzzing your houses on it.

Tekkit does not have mo creatures if I recall correctly. Otherwise, i plan to be the guy who builds an Forge World

@Summerfields I love the texture pack except for one thing for some reason he changed the color of torches to be an all invading orange EVERYTHING gets an orange tint and I can't play for long when it's like that. Granted it's not so bad when there is one or two but say in a place like Moria it turns orange. Currently my favorites are Tales of Tredonia 2.0, Derivation and Ornate Craft. (that 2.0 is not the version it's another pack by the same guy based on the original Tales of Tredonia (which I also use))

In my new technic world i made a cobble generationer that feeds into a quastium for eventual research stuff. When that gets full, I make the rest of the cobble into Vis. Cheap and dirty.

Edit: Just now i got three resreach stuff. Pickaxe of the core, Hoe of the mystic, and a arcane enchanter.

@Xi- Black pegasus. it flies, is the fastest, has a horn, and can even have an inventory if you give it a chest.

That sounds awesome.

Mr. Lthebetrayer: that's not going to work. Cobble provides less than 1 vis per block destroyed. You'd be better off putting it into an energy condenser and turning it into dirt, which provides 1 vis per block, or stone, which provides 2.

Yup. Also, feeding it redstone makes it set the ground on fire!

or is that just the black nightmare...

@Summerfields review: MY GOD!!! It's SLENDERMAN! SLENDER-MAN! Not Slender.

...forcefield?

-only just remembered minecraft existed-

It's from Tekkit.

Tarsen: Mod for a mod. Industrialcraft adding electrical stuff (and nuclear reactors ) and someone made a mod for that which adds forcefields of various shapes and types.

BTW, anyone exploring 1.3 mods, the latest update of the forcefield mod is no longer "just" an IC 2 mod but works standalone, works with a couple other electricity mods and now needs a mined resource, Forcium, for crafting.

so i was looking through the new settings on technic and i noticed one in spawn limits, "old world?"

i cant seem to find any clarification on what it means, would any of you know?

also: still no large biome support on technic?

Meh, Vis from cobble is secondary, most of it is meant for research. On my test world i been playing with rails, they are very fun.

Ogre destroyed my everything. D:

Well, my fort was far down enough that most of it is still intact, thankfully. >.>

Note to Self: If I ever get Minecraft and Technic, disabling Mo' Creatures.

Thankfully the damage isn't so bad. >.> Just the surface courtyard and the underground farm's glass ceiling. I'll probably try rebuilding some of it with basalt.

Yea, ogres are murderous. I was lucky enough to live in a snow biome so they usually only destroyed the snow.

Or just change the difficulty they spawn in.

I've started a new file because I realized that I haven't gotten any rain at all except for when I start it using NEI. I'm on a sort of small island in the middle of the ocean. one greatwood tree, one silverleaf tree, one monolith, no rubberwood trees (D:), a ravine, no villages, and it's hard to be anywhere without seeing the ocean.

However, there's a way to get rubber without rubberwood, but it uses the rather obtuse Industrialcraft agriculture system, where you can crossbreed to get plants that are related to neither plants. :V

Problem is that you can't step on the plants at all without breaking them. >:(

Suggestion: Get the Harvest Goddess Amulet from EE.

You can run a triathlon on them and they don't care.

question: Does it apply to vanilla crops only or all crops? Because even sneaking over Crop Blocks from industrialcraft agriculture will revert the soil and drop the crop.
