So then.

First off, Curse officially hates me. The Curse launcher doesn't launch MC for me.

So I download the FtB original launcher. Go through that.

There's something wrong with the Scaffolding texture from Immersive Engineering. and other things. (does anyone know what an "Upwards reference" is?)

Loading up it's just a big list of problems. I'm trying again, to see if it works, but dango. I'm very close to just downloading the mods manually and launching from the regular MC launcher.

I'd heard there are issues with the textures of Immersive Engineering's multi-block structures in the current version of the pack and that an update is on the way to fix them.

That'd make sense.

But also, HAH! IN YOUR FACE, FANCY LAUNCHERS!

I've managed to manually set things up so that I can launch the pack through the default MC launcher!

I'll try the Curse one again after switching its launcher setups, but I'd much prefer to do it this way, I think.

Huh. Maybe I did need to do it through Curse. Bah.

It's seriously not this hard to just do mods, folks! Just let me download them! I can deal with odd directories, just tell me where they need to be!!!!

NOTHING WORKS. ALL IS DARKNESS. THE VOID SHALL CONSUME.

YAY thank you in advance

I have updated the first post with instructions for downloading the launcher(s) and pack and connecting to the server. However, I suspect most of you have already figured it out.

The server address is different than before, it is now:

dw20.darkinnit.com

You don't need to specify a port number anymore, but if you have any problems you can try entering the server address as dw20.darkinnit.com:25585

I haven't managed to get the FTB Util starter inventory feature working, but I think you'd rather get playing than wait longer while I figure out an alternate solution.

A dimension for automated mining (e.g. quarries and other world destroyers) is provided and can currently be accessed from the Railcraft villager house (along with a nether portal). Manual mining in the overworld is perfectly fine.

The server will open at 6pm GMT (just under 25mins from now)!

I'm not white listed

I have my tea, my coke (life) and my popcorn. I feel like a little kid at Disney waiting for the rope drop

I have to ask, is anyone else having trouble getting the Teams UI to load?

Turns out claimed chunks stop people from being able to open doors if they aren't on the same team as you.

When I try to connect, it says "Unknown Host". I've tried both addresses provided.

So I have a couple of bugs. When I go through a portal into the Nether I burst into flame

And....
I went into the nether, lagged out in a portal, and died at the bottom of a lava lake about 1k away from the portal.

Any chance I can get a hand getting my stuff back?

Is there a map for the new server yet?

Make sure you're not making a typo when entering it:
dw20.darkinnit.com

That's [d] [w] [two] [zero] and there are two [n]s in darkinnit

A quick DNS check for various places around the world looks fine:
https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/dw20.darkinnit.com

If you still keep getting unknown host, try entering the IP instead of the domain name, but then you must include the port:
148.251.89.150:25585

This sounds like an issue that was in Vanilla Minecraft 1.10, the portals wouldn't change your coords immediately on entering the nether, so you'd enter the nether at overworld coords and then it would move you to the correct location in the nether. But sometimes lag or other unexpected delays would mean that you'd actually start taking suffocation/lava/fire damage from the "wrong" coordinates before it moved you, and in worst cases, enough to kill you.

It might be a good idea to switch to EnderIO's teleporters instead of vanilla nether portals when you can, see if they work better.

I'll log on now, thanks for PMing me the coords - that gravestone mod is very useful for helping with this particular issue!

Dynmap hasn't been updated for 1.10 yet. You'll just have to use the Journeymap in-game for now.

Using the IP works! Thanks Dark!

I keep getting booted from the server

I'm afraid I'm not sure why this is happening to you. The server isn't kicking you, it just reports that you disconnected:
[19:19:35] [Server thread/INFO]: Mondo80us joined the game [19:19:58] [Server thread/INFO]: Mondo80us lost connection: TextComponent{text='Disconnected', siblings=[], style=Style{hasParent=false, color=null, bold=null, italic=null, underlined=null, obfuscated=null, clickEvent=null, hoverEvent=null, insertion=null}}

Check your minecraft and/or forge logs for any indications as to what might be causing it.

Also check you have allocated enough RAM as these 1.10 packs now recommend at least 4GB for optimal performance. This can be set in the Curse or FTB Launcher options.

So what's a good chunk loader to use now? I went to the mining world and you can't claim chunks to load them that way. I'd like to use something that keeps the chunks loaded even when no one is on the server type deal.

People on the ForgeCraft server seemed to mostly use ExtraUtilities Chunk Loading ward.

It's annoying to make though, as you need a Villager that's signed a contract... and it's hard to find villagers that are willing to do that.

The other options are from OpenComputers (no idea how it works) or IC2.


All 3 chunk loading options require power of some kind. The IC2 chunk loader is probably the cheapest and simplest option, though it will require more power than the others.

Been thinking about revisiting this game. I played it a couple years ago and enjoyed the little bit I experienced.... which mostly amounted to me trapping myself inside a room of wood with zombies.

This server... is it super advanced I guess? I guess probably I should stick to just the vanilla game for a bit till I learn more of the intricacies?

Is there a way just to spectate?

Has anyone else toyed around with Actually Additions empowerer?
I've built a test setup in creative mode using mod parts that i have access to on the server to convert the output of my canola farm to empowered canola oil and the empowerer just kills my fps. It goes down to single digits every time it fires its four particle beams which can happen quite often during the startup of the machine.

I had to set the config option "less particles" to true in the Actually Additions config file so i can continue playing near the empowerer.
Are there other options? How far away (perhaps underground) do i need to place the machine so particle effects are not calculated / rendered?


@messhallcook:
We just started on a fresh map with new mods. Might be a good opportunity for new players as well.

Like Minx said, this server's only been up a few days with a fresh modpack, so everyone's still learning. If you're worried about the complexity, Direwolf20's YouTube currently has him playing through this modpack from scratch, which can help with getting a solid foundation to start on. There's a link to his YT in the opening post, but he hasn't started a playlist yet, so here's one I quickly compiled of his videos on this modpack up to now: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc4c3Mf-h7y2tfSJkWoRVfb2I0gjQU3Sq

He'll probably upload a new one every 3 days or so, so there's a bit of a wait between them, but the 6 he's got out now are more than enough to get you started, if you're interested. I'm sure someone more well-versed in the pack and its contents would be able to give you a few pointers, too--I'd do it myself, but I don't actually know anything about the pack, so I'd just be repeating the stuff I learn from DW20's videos.

If you really do just want to spectate, you can still log in and just stalk darkinnit or someone; it's as much a social server as it is functional.

YEah, just log in and explore. Just be sure to not mess with levers and switches, and to leave doors shut and not to let things get blown up by creepers.

Did anybody else have any of the issues I was having? I'm trying a re-download, hopefully the scaffolding thing has been fixed, but now it's all "Couldn't find mcjson1.10.2" but seems like it's still working.

This is all so aggravating.

Well just found a sakura grove in the south to start building my magical little empire in.

Yep that happened to me initially too. Got to Curse Settings -> Minecraft and change the laucher type it is using (and while you're at it assign at least 4GB of RAM).
That should fix it. If it doesn't, try updating Java: you might have an out of date version that is interfering with the whole process.

Nice! I'll keep my iskand, then, and offer resources to you as you need when you get back from your trip.

nothin to see here

Yup, looks like it.

Just after a restart too, lol.

Managed to get everything running on the FtB launcher. Might try Curse again, but eh. As long as one system works, I'm good.

Breaking from this until after finals.

Good luck .

So the list of the things I'm having issues finding:

-Gold (in the ground, I've plenty from pirate ships)
-Redstone
-Slime islands (we found 1 so far)
-Cows
-Jungles



Anyone else having issues with these things?

Not so much the Redstone thing or Gold, but certainly Copper and Aluminium of all things are a pain.

As is Draconium Ore, but that's meant to be rarer than Diamond so it's not really a surprise.

For cows, search the mining age. THey're everywhere.

I've gotten plenty of redstone and copper, though. Copper is plentiful in the mining age.
