I haven't gone to the mining age yet, but I'm swimming in copper, and I have enough aluminum to keep me going. Only 4 draconium so far though.


EDIT: stupid phone

You do realize that Bauxite is an Aluminum ore as well, right?

Yup, I don't have a single piece of it.

Of course, that's kind of my own fault because it apparently only spawns above Y level 40, and I've been exclusively mining below Y level 12.

I was about to say- I've found, like, 5, just from incidental earthmoving.

Also, Prismarine is a very nice material for tools- Aquadynamic is very, very handy. However, because I'm not around a Water temple, I'm having to keep fighting Guardians. And those guys are annoying.

There is a water temple to the East of your base slightly NE of my village.

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?

ya the slime islands are really rare, dria's found 3 now.

we're still looking for a jungle as well

gold does seem to be rare, but that can be solved with a pigman farm.

I'll pick up 2 cows next time I'm in the mining age and put them in a pen near spawn.

if anyone finds a jungle, can you bring me back some bees?

First item restoration petition:

Built my nether portal, stepped through, game disconnected me from the server because ???, I reconnect inside a wall and instantly suffocate.

No problem, I go back through the portal but the portal it created for me in the nether is 1500m away from where my death waypoint was created.

The portal it created is at -x46, -z200/201, but according the waypoint, somehow I died at -x314 -z1608.

I can't remember much of what I lost except a flint pickaxe--eh--a backpack, and a brand new steel-silver-bronze rapier I'd just made. I can make another sword--thankfully I made more steel than I needed at SirRalphy's--but could I please get a new backpack? I haven't found a good source of leather yet, and I couldn't find any cows within a good distance of me when i had to make the first. I think tikka had to give me the leather for it in the end.

EDIT: Forgot the death parchment gives you an inv. list. Could probably do with getting the 23 coal back as well, please, and maybe the bucket if you were feeling generous, but I've enough iron to replace that.

You realize that we've got a Gravestones mod. It's as easy as breaking the grave and picking up your stuff.

Could you be a little more patronising, please?

Yes I do realise that. I also realise that I was dumped into the middle of the nether 1500m away, inside a wall; I'm not sure if there will even be a gravestone due to that, or if it is generated, where it could possibly be. If it's generated simply at the closest available space, that could be literally anywhere--inside a lava pool, on top of bedrock outside the world, on the other end of a several-chunk large wall of netherrack I'd have to mine completely to find. I was also encouraged to ask dark by people on the server at the time--people who likely also realise these things.

EDIT: Looks like it's probably only accessible to dark anyway:

I am not sure if the color of a slime island denotes the color of the slimes on it but I did find a floating purple slime island East of my village quite a ways. I can post the coords when I get home if anyone wants to investigate.

Sorry 'bout that. Yeah, that was a little jerkish of me.

Wasn't aware that the gravestone would be above the bedrock in that situation. Interesting bit of coding, I imagine.

I was contentedly sneaking around outlying villagers when the server crashed :(

Yes as mentioned before, this is a bug with the nether portals in this version. I've cleared some space at the location where you died, so you shouldn't take damage when using the portal in future.

Your grave did appear on the roof of the nether, as you suspected:


I've put the contents of your grave in a chest just inside your place.

Would anyone be interested if I set up a Discord channel for us?

I'd certainly be. Not sure how often I'd use it, but it would be nice to have.

I'd log in I guess, but I don't use voice.

Anyone have an ender pearl farm?

I have updated the server to version 1.1.4 of the modpack, please update your clients.

Yay, more power (RF) generation options (all the Extra Utilities generators including the rainbow generator and Extreme Reactors) and a boatload of bug fixes for many other mods.
Thank you.

I am planning on joining, if someone is planning on making the discord channel set up as soon as possible. Its very help for minecraft I've learned.

I was working on trying to figure out how to build the best types of things with tinkers, I wouldn't mind when I log in someone helping me get started. I was planning on doing a lot more magic than just flat out industrial. As botantia, blood magic and draconic evolution interest me quite a bit. (and once thaumcraft comes out.... My my. I'll jump on that. lol)

Also is this the current Direwolf pack that came out?

(Also how do you update the Direwolf Pack Client Side?)

Man, I can't wait for Thaumcraft to be back again. I'm really, really missing it.

Part of that is just that I don't know how any of the Tech-based farms work (and Botania is totally a Tech mod, just with magic trappings). I want my Golems, darn it!


Also, with Tinkers- everything's in the book, which is nice, but the materials are a lot more important- Manylllylyyllyn isn't the be-all-end-all anymore. Prismarine has replaced Cactus as the go-to weapon material (with Jagged and all-only Manamana and Steel are comparable) and wood gives a minor self-repair. Stone isn't quite as nice, no stonebound, but still alright.

Cobalt is the best for tops of mining gear
Ardite is great for handles (because it has the ability to eat stone)


Bone is the best for weapons, and Manyllylyyllyn is actually one of the best blades. Though I still use paper on everything

Also if anyone is willing to help I would really like to set up a tinkers station for myself. I would probably repay you with some of the computer craft I know lol

My sword is a Manylynn blade w/max quartz, a silver guard, and netherrack handle. I'm rolling into the 15.59 damage, before it being undead or not. I one shot skeletons and zombies.


Also, I set up a discord: https://discord.gg/TT8xTH9

Server is down

nothing, I just made a farm that farms rice. Other than that, nothing else!

It resets every couple hours, I think.

I've got myself a Hammer with a Prismarine head, 2 Silver plates, and an Electrum handle (a decent handle material, and it has a neat 'charge up, ZZAAAP' mechanic)- put one whole modifier of Grave Dust on it, and with the Jagged ability from the Pris, I'm working on upwards of 10 damage against undead, plus the zzap from the Electrum charge. It's pretty awesome. I called it "Bane of Evil".


Chisel'n'Bits is amazing, though. I'm considering setting up a store where I sell sculptures and furniture and stuff, and maybe take commissions- would folks be up for that? I'd probably ask diamonds or other gems for stuff, or maybe just rare or interesting materials. (That's where EE would be nice- you could have direct equivalents for prices). I feel like someone willing to create a full Ore Tripling store could probably do some good business as well.

Pam's HarvestCraft is part of the new Direwolf20 version 1.2: FTB-changelog. Tinker's bows and crossbows, too. Loads of bugfixes are in as well.
Since it's holiday season in some parts of the world i reckon it might be a while before darkinnit updates his server though.

Another update? Yeah, it'll be after Christmas before I can update the server, but I should be able to get it done before the New Year.

Wait really?!?!?!?

Cool, thats actually kind of awesome. I've been wanting to make some really powerful items!

I wish tinkers had armor that would be interesting.

Also how do we get heart containers

I am trying to start blood magic, anyone have the list of things you have to do? I've been trying to find a tutorial and all of them are terrible.

Also demon metal?

I wonder what that does in tinkers construct?

Ah yes, Tinkers Bows. I was missing them (shurikens just aren't as useful given they break and can't be repaired).
