Alright, can someone recommend a mod that adds ways to get ender pearls? Because I've been playing this world for quite a while and have seen one Enderman for a few brief moments before it stepped in a puddle and teleported out of my life. So I need a mod that either provides an alternate source of ender pearls or provides some way to farm Endermen. Thanks!

With the Minium Stone you can convert 4 iron ingots into 1 ender pearl.

*Least difficult: Ender ore lets you mine ender dust to form into pearls from the ground, sometimes mining a block suddenly spawns an enderman. *Yes, EE3 is another option, though using it kind of feels p. much like opening NEI and asking it for a pearl imo. *Next up, magical crops allows you to grow plants that give a piece of an ender pearl when harvested, though they take a lot of materials, grow slowly, and many are needed to form a full pearl *Most difficult: Dimensional Doors spawns weird booby-trapped dungeons with pearls in many of the chests.

It populates the world with ore that breaks into dust that can be crafted into ender pearls. Also there's a chance on mining the ore that it will spawn an Enderman, which is kind of hilarious.

KingLemming posted:I'm assuming you mean pre-TE3? I don't know much about the transfer nodes, but I'm pretty confident that the memory and cpu usage on conduits is approximately the same if not lower. I was only doing proper testing with pipes connected to a boiler so it might be an edge case, but yeah the nodes were faster. And this was TE3. To be clear, the individual CPU usage of pipes varied, but transfer nodes have higher throughput with upgrades so fewer were required, and in the end the total CPU usage was smaller. Like I said it might be an edge case because normally you're not trying to shove that much flood through.

The better option is just to intentionally try to farm a few enderman at night and then find your way to the end. Never ending ender pearls, provided you kill the dragon and don't die a horrible death.

Your narration is perfect video editing could be a little better your cuts have about a 1/3 of a second of black and can be sort of disorientating, maybe so let look at [X] next then do the cut.

I've just done all my filming for my TE3 mod spotlight, i think its gone really well so far. I've done a very comprehensive walkthrough of all of the production/energy/smelting/etc type blocks. Im working on getting all the edits right as i wanted it to be smooth since a few people have picked up on my bad scene transitions. With the edits, i should have it all covered in 26 minutes so I think thats pretty good. Once I've got the spotlight edited together, I'll break it down into small videos tomorrow and upload those too. Should hopefully have my spotlight on Youtube in the next hour or two! Edit: Rendering now, 50 minutes to go. I felt I did a much better job on the edit

With Deadly World you literally can't just strip mine everything; the stone is full of Silverfish/spawner/lava veins. Just digging a straight strip mine is almost impossible.

So here it is, my mod spotlight on TE3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXuO11AssCk I designed the video around practicality and function, I didn't show off any blocks because "ooh shiny look", but how to get the item, how to use it, and how it will do something useful for you, without any assumed knowledge of Thermal Expansion I've trimmed it to the minimal amount of chaff possible, so its all knowledge, no filler I think I've upped my game with the editing since my previous as I'm getting used to the software too Tomorrow i'll chop out seperate block/mechanic specific videos for when you want answers on a specific thing in just a couple of minutes. KingLemming, if it will help with your wiki/explaination stuff, and the quality is good enough for you, you're more than welcome to stick it on your website. Goons, I'd love your thoughts please

So I haven't played around with MFR since colours were added to the planter and biofuel became a thing, I'm wondering how many different farms are needed for the best biofuel - 8 or 9? I'm thinking out an interesting little design at the back of my head at the moment but I kind of need that info... Also, what's the best wiki source for MFR info for 1.6.4?

Can someone explain to me what "ticking tile entity" even means? I know how to fix it, and I know it's a problem. I know that a tile entity is a block that does stuff, like a machine or pipe. I know Minecraft measures time in 'ticks', but none of that makes the error mean anything to me. And then the crash report says 'tile entity being ticked' which just doesn't... what? Stop loving ticking it, then!!  I'm hoping that if this can be explained to me it will make me SLIGHTLY less furious when it happens, I mean, aside from the anger I feel having to download the entire overworld and deleting the single offending block every time.

And then the crash report says 'tile entity being ticked' which just doesn't... what? Stop loving ticking it, then!! Ticking tile entity is meaningless by itself. The real error is almost always further on down the stack trace. This has to do with the way exception handling works in java, and chaining exceptions. Essentially, the code for running a single tick's worth of logic on a tile entity looks like this: pre:try {
tickTileEntity();
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new Exception("Ticking tile entity.", e);
}

I really think MapWriter is a way better map mod than Rei's Minimap, mainly because it saves the entire map and you can zoom way out to unloaded chunks, thus creating an actual comprehensive map of the world instead of just the surrounding areas. You could explore your entire continent if you were so inclined.

And then the crash report says 'tile entity being ticked' which just doesn't... what? Stop loving ticking it, then!! As far as I can tell in the time I spent dealing with this poo poo, it means that the entity took so long to process that it started loving up the tick cycle and eventually crashed. It normally happens when things either go infinite loop or are too processor intensive for the computer they are running on. Seeing as minecraft basically uses one processor to do all the calculations, this means that the more processor intensive mods can screw up and take too long when mixed with enough other mods that also take a significant amount of cpu power.

That way I can just skip to the 3 minute segment that involves what I'm asking. I want something like this, but I find those videos really obtrusive that have a bajillion of the annotation boxes come up and flood my screen at the start. Theres 4 ways of doing it that I can figure, but I'm not sure what would work best: 1. Annotations on the start of the video - i figured i'd fill the right half of the screen up for the first 10 seconds with a table of contents, each annotation button would represent a block, and clicking it would take you to the point in the video that shows you that block. The disadvantage to this is: It fills up your screen with crap for 10 seconds, and that you have to go back to the start of the video to use it again 2. Links in the "More info" part of the video that you can expand out at the bottom, I can use those links that start at a specific time to put you in the right part of the video for what you want. This removes the two disadvantages of the annotations, but then means you have you look outside of the video for your table of contents 3. Upload a table of contents video, which is basically just 20 seconds of a black screen, but then I stick the annotations all over it. Its got the advantages of idea 1, without cluttering up the actual spotlight video. I can link to the video in the more info, and maybe even 1 annotation in the main spotlight, but the downside is it does rely on you finding the table of contents video 4. I do my spotlight, upload it, and then using the video file, I break it out into 10-15 seperate videos, each focusing on one particular block or mechanism. I upload these along side the full spotlight, and then link to them using methods 1, 2 or 3, or just rely on you using channel search or something to find them.

I think you should go with option 2, putting it in the "more info" section. Anybody who's looking for a table of contents is probably not looking at the actual video anyway. However, you might want to put an annotation about there being a table of contents down there in the video, to make sure that people know it's there. Also, the little bit showing recipes is pretty easy to miss in the bottom right, and I didn't even know it was there for the first couple. You wouldn't want to put it in the middle where it's blocking the action, as it were, but I think sticking it all the way down there is a bit much.

It's more work that recording once and then shouting, "That's a wrap! Upload that fucker to Youtube!" but doing an editorial pass instantly makes you better than the 98% of commentators who can't be bothered to do even that.
