Just silk touch. You'd asked me a few days ago and I said you could have them if you could find them. Which is to say I'll give you the book when you're next on/its in a crystal chest on its on next to the portal guns in my basement.

**Anvildude**

Allrighty then. Good thing I got a bunch of the shelves up.

**Wyrmalla**

Wait enchanted books can be put on shelves? I thought it was only written books? ...In that case I now have a use for all of mine. *Currently adding a small library to my house. *No I've not given my house a roof yet.

**Melissia**

Yep. I showed you the ones we had in Iustis' house actually, not that you noticed

**Wyrmalla**

Oi you said I happened to ignore you shelves and told me about it after leaving. That isn't the same as ignoring them as talk to me about your amazing shelves and spatula collection. ...Its close though. =P

Also my brain has a habit of tossing out all but the most inane twaddle...

No, I mentioned them while you were at the house, but you were too busy flying around the island derping

**Matt.Kingsley**

I really should get back on the server again to work on my base... but Dota 2 is way too much fun...

I will drag myself on... hopefully my computer doesn't lag out like last time...

**Wyrmalla**

I didn't face plant once that day. I say that you shouldn't have thought I was capable of anything else resembling human competence.

So as to make this post something more than wittering, anyone have amber free? The type that you can create blocks/bricks out of, not the one that's transported inside the fuzzy airplanes.

**Melissia**

Bug Iustis about it, we should have Amber reserves somewhere (probably in my AE storage) if you want to trade.

**Wyrmalla**

Iustis would rather make some sort of throne out of it to spite me/please his penguins. Need to remind him about asking for an offer on his basalt...

Had a go at a chair.

**Melissia**

I took some basalt by offering not to burn her house down, but then again I live there so it was probably taken as a joke.

**Wyrmalla**

Not_u seems to jump between the sexes, then again I prefer to think of you all as squirrels. ...Expect Darkinnit who is of course a Kiwala. =)

Anyone have an excess of ink sacks too? I've decided that in creating my library that it should have some books. They'd be hidden around the little desks that are dotted about the place and on bookshelves in other areas of my house. Currently I've finished the 16 Accords of Madness, but I think I'll cover some more books from the Elder Scrolls series if I can hold my attention long enough. ...No, I haven't been pasting any of the text.

**Anvildude**

Man. As soon as printing presses get added to Ultimate, I'm gonna want some copies, k?

Speaking of which- Matapata, I took up your book donations. They're now residing in the library of the Turris Caerulean.

There's always tons of squid outside the Tower- I'm sure anyone with a Looting sword and a way to breath underwater could get sooo much ink. It's unfortunate that squids can't be SoulSharded.

**Wyrmalla**

And then the ink ran out. =/

It'd be great if the presses were in, it'd save me from sitting bloody writing the things. Instead I could make a few and just copy off a load. But no, now every one of them's going to be different. What a shame.

Though it is a pity that I can't give copies out to you for your library Anvil, or anyone else that want's them for the matter.

As a plus though I found out that desks can hold link books, which means I can stick a couple of the ones I've collected in there for treasure hunters I suppose. ...I mean not that those bookstands in the library serve any purpose. Youknow, not like you'd want to put a link book found in one of the desks on there and see what magical place it takes you to.

No, that'd be absurd.

**Dr. What**

I can now envision a linking book roulette that gives you a random book and sends you on a quest.

Could be a cool project...

**Wyrmalla**

Right now I'm digging out a series of chambers under my super secret testing area in the <location redacted>. They're probably just some small, variable sized rooms of randomness, but it'll fun to see if anyone ever managed to get into them. =)

**Anvildude**

Could be something nice and magical as well.

I can see it now- you go into a room. Choose a class and go through the proper portal. An MFFS strips you of all your gear (you'll get it back when you're done) and you proceed in order to get the new stuff. Then, you must enter the Dungeon! Made in another dimension, with Warded blocks keeping you from 'bypassing' stuff or being interrupted. The boss room? Level 5 Enderman and Creeper spawners, guarding a chest with the treasure- Irridium plates, or volumes of lost lore, or heavily enchanted gear.

**Melissia**

What you really need to do is make a proper testing room ala portal.

**matapata98**

no, sorry, no silk touch or repair

**SagesStone**

Any charge for wands?

**darkinnit**

So...

A stable version of the FTB Minecraft 1.5 pack will be released tomorrow and it will take on status as the new FTB Feature pack (over Ultimate). (However, it won't be an automatic upgrade as it's a separate pack).

Unfortunately, they are recommending world resets for all transitions to 1.5/1.6. (There is no Redpower or Xycraft in 1.5, ExtraBiomesXL is replaced with Biomes o' Plenty, and all liquids and Thermal Expansion stuff vanishes due to massive changes).

1.6 will be released realsoonnow, but then the mod authors have to update. It is also possible that a world reset would be needed for 1.6...

Should we stick with Ultimate (1.4.7) until the 1.6 packs come out, or abandon everything and jump to 1.5?

Discuss ;-)

**4oursword**

When it rolls around, we lose everything anyway. Is there still Gregtech in there? Because I don't know if I can bring myself to spend the time with that train-wreck of a mod. But I was looking into starting completely afresh anyway- this would galvanise me into doing that.
No Redpower is a shame, but it's not insurmountable. As long as Industiralcraft and Railcraft are in, then so am I. Soul Shards is another really important mod as well, I would not like to lose that.

Also, I'd finally have to get to grips with Iron Pipes. I hate the things. Oh well.

**darkinnit**

The current versions of the 1.5 pack come in two versions "with GregTech" and "No GregTech"

Also should note that XyCraft will be in 1.6, Soaryn is just skipping 1.5 to save on coding time due to his University finals (I think).

**4oursword**

Which one are we picking then?

Maybe I should look at setting up a voting page...

**Wyrmalla**

Is the recipe for crafting inc sacs blocked? I can't seem to get it to work properly. =/

Aww, just as I start to get anywhere with my building it turns out its all being reset in a bit. Eugh...

**matapata98**

NO!!!!!!!!!!! reset make me sad...

**darkinnit**

Ok, first survey, as this applies to both 1.5 and 1.6 and may adjust people's decision on whether to jump to 1.5 or wait for 1.6:

To Greg, or not to Greg:

**Doctadeth**

Does that mean the advanced gregtech machines are out along with the basic recipes.

**Wyrmalla**

Is there a forum page that lists the contents of the proposed alternative pack to ultimate (and the mod versions associated if available)?
