I've allowed it to update and I lost all my waypoints (retrieving the config backups didn't work)... It wasn't a big deal since I just started, but now it says another update is out and I'm a bit afraid to let it do it because I already have some precious waypoints set.

Any hints on how to prevent waypoint loss?


Awesome pack by the way, I never really got into mods because of the hassle of gettting them to work together, but this seems to work marvelously and all this new content put together is just amazing. Not mentioning the auto update feature which is sweet! Thanks a lot for this.

Wait - millions of people own a copy of Minecraft - why do you think the FTB Stream has knocked out the Minecraft login server? Did you think that maybe, just maybe .. Mojang are running maintenance on their login servers?

You don't seem to have realized I was joking. I tried to distinguish my post as a joke by putting the "" in there. Apparently you didn't get it...

Well, FTB is still classed as a Beta, so I wouldn't be surprised if updates break game worlds. That's why I'm using it to muck about, get my textures sorted, until FTB is not classed as a Beta.

How do i make my mod pack appear in my launcher?

[RickshawWatcher]

Well, I updated to 1.0.7 and now FTB just loads up vanilla minecraft version 1.4.2 and all the mods for FTB were deleted.

Using Force Update does nothing (I hit the button, nothing happens, I hit launch button while I'm in that same menu after hitting the button and it still loads up vanilla minecraft version 1.4.2)

I've heard of updates breaking game worlds, but updates breaking the game itself?

Yea. I'm pretty much goofing around too, getting to know all the stuff it brings. But some waypoints are on some stuff that I would really like to check out, so I don't want to lose them.

Anyway, I found that Rei's Minimap is saving its config and settings in a separate folder inside the mods folder (...\FTBBETAA\minecraft\mods\rei_minimap\) and the updater deletes that. Making a backup of that folder and putting it back after the update solves the problem.

The updater also seems to delete all the mods you may have in the instMods folder (except forge). Good to remind.

[Golrith]

The updater currently always reverts your installation to default FTB, which is quite annoying if you've adjusted config files or mods being used.
I hope in future they download on a per mod basis and don't globally delete what's in the folder.

The whole FTB site is offline, I've downloaded it already but it isn't able to launch.

Yeah, it should be fixed soon.

EDIT: FTB is working now!

Is there a way to convert MJ to EU (or even vice versa) in FTB?

Vice versa: Electric engines (forestry)

MJ to EU: I have no idea

MJ 2 EU = IC2 transformers addon mod

[SophusVir]

Mo Creatures should be added to this.

It's not native to the pack and wasn't included for a reason.

The FTB website has a thread for suggesting mods for inclusion. For mods that are rejected, the first post gives reasons. In regard to Mo' Creatures, it says, "Will Not be Included

Mo' Creatures
No permissions"

And thank goodness for that, in my opinion, mo' creatures is overhyped.

I never liked using Mo' Creatures too, I'm not a big fan of the new hostiles and water mobs.

Me too. Survival mode is pressuring enough without adding even more ways for the game to kill you . . .
