The way of the cristians. No offence ofcourse.

Neither, Terrafirmacraft is better.

Heh. Because it ACTUALLY adds challenge to survival? Because it actually makes the game last longer? Because it does more than just add a bunch of end-game OP loot?

Yeah that's my problem with most of the mods in the game. They really don't try for more variety in the mid levels :s

I don't really like terrafirmacraft much, it got really complicated really fast, but yeah surviving in real life is complicated. No issue with a realism mod, I just don't like it much.

Tekkit only has redpower because it is in 1.2.5, FTB also has a 1.2.5 version which also has redpower. FTB also has a much better 1.4.2 version which is awaiting red power. It also actually ASKED FOR PERMISSION from the mod makers.

[Czupo]

FTB, at least they had the decency to ask for permission to include other mods, unlike Tekkit.

That one is easy, FTB, why?

• It has full support of the modmakers, in fact they communicate with each other as to make it as compatible as possible.
  
• It is for Minecraft 1.4.2 with 1.4.5 coming up soon, no more being stuck in 1.2.5 and able to enjoy the new bugfixes and additions.
  
• Redpower2 and EE3 are coming, to dislike it just because they are not in it is silly, they are being worked upon and will be available for 1.4.5
  
• Interactive owners, Slowpoke101 streams a whole lot and interacts with the community, as does Jadedcat and even Florastar
  
• Direwolf20, nuff said.

Exactly why I prefer FTB. Also, usually the people who download Tekkit just do it because someone else told them to, and they don't even know how to play with it.

Feed the beast for sure

*Looks out window* How did you know what religion I am?

No need to start a religious flamewar, though ^.^

I'd rather use FTB if what I'm hearing about permissions is true.

It's not like music where it actually benefits the artist/author to have their stuff shared around.

Of course, both Tekkit and FTB have the problem of being OP as cuss.

It is better to ask for forgiveness than to seek permission. Props to Tekkit for that.

You smell.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Thank you for your extreamly informative post.

The Original post does not ask for information, it asks, one or the other. My opinion is neither.

Neither. I enjoy Technic Pack, not Tekkit.

You do realize that Technic is just Tekkit but then for singleplayer right? Tekkit is simply the multiplayer version of it

[st33lv1nes]

I voted for Tekkit, simply because I don't have a clue what the other one is supposed to be, and have no intention of finding out.

Plus, pipes.

One is not simply, the multiplayer version.

Then maybe not, but they are from the same modpack maker basically and thus same fact applies, they do not have full endorsement.

[stoneyunknownn]

FTB is supported by the mod authors, and Tekkit isn't. . . So FTB all the way! It's a no brainer.

[GeneralPolaris]

FTB. Saying its better to ask for forgiveness is just idiotic. Hey I took your ideas and made money off of it. I'm sorry but its better now since I apologized.

[Ethelion]

I would definitely go with FTB, since I appreciate the fact they have all the mod authors permission.  It's turning into a better pack by the day.

Tekkit

EE2 and RP2 is much better than 1.4! And tekkit is going to update...
of course tekkit also have permissions! Tekkit have existed in long time and FTB short.

I think he meant that it takes more of a man to apologize

The only reason why FTB had such a great launch is because they have great publicity and because it's not tekkit

They do not have the mod permissions, perhaps some but not every mod creator agreed with it. Just because they have existed longer has nothing to do with it. Tekkit is by all means illegal due to the fact that they are not fully endorsed by the mod creators, this is practically common knowledge by now. I even recall that the modpack maker admitted he did not ask for permissions.

Also , EE3 and RP2 (what tekkit has isn't even RP2, at most it's a pre-release) will come to FTB 1.4.5, with less bugs and more awesomeness.

Also...when the hell is Tekkit ever going to update then? Practically ALL the mods are out for 1.3.2 already yet Tekkit is still stuck in 1.2.5
