I've been keeping Forge 1.6.4 on for a while now, afraid to update to 1.7 for mods. Why? I'm not sure, but it mostly has to do with the fact that most of the 1.6 mods I have, I love and adore, but they aren't onto 1.7 yet. But really how left in the dark am I? I hear that old mods are getting amazing updates in 1.7. I would absolutely transfer if I could have both a 1.7 Forge profile and 1.6 Forge profile to switch mods on (Which i'm pretty sure isn't a thing).

TL;DR What am I missing out on in the modding community by sticking to 1.6.4 Forge and mods?

EDIT/UPDATE: I'm also afraid to download my favorite mods on 1.7 because a lot of sites boast "1.7 DOWNLOAD!!!" when in reality it's just the 1.6 mod and they flat out lied.

I love shaders, and its worked fine for a while, but now when I try to load a world with it / join a server with it I crash to desktop with a very, very, very, very, very long error message. I would've thought it was 15 different error messages If I didn't know that it wasn't. I really would like some help because shaders is sexy.

Really sexy.

Are there any blocks that you CAN'T place portals on?

Glass. I'm currently making a map with this mod, and to make surfaces that people can't shoot portals on, I put down glass and then a dark block behind it. You can't shoot portals on the glass, but you can't see outside of the map either. I think making the map is more of a puzzle than the actual map will be sadly...

Looks horrible, but serves the purpose.

Every once in a while an occasional creeper will blow up next to me causing me to throw my laptop with all of my arm strength, but besides that nothing much.

Bump

Here's some tips:

1. Explain something about the server. Who wants to join a server that they know nothing about? Not me, that's for sure.

2. You won't get faithful admins/mods this way, it just isn't going to work out well. Try to find some friends to moderate, as they probably won't "trololo" the server with WorldEdit every chance they get.

Lately i've been getting fps lag and lag you'd expect to find on a server, despite it being singleplayer... I've been getting huge fps drops every 10 - 15 seconds, rubber-banding (Walk forward, and the lag pushes you back), block lag, and even delayed hits (I don't know the better name for it, but let's say I hit a sheep, it'll take around 5 seconds for the sheep to take damage). Mobs will be glitchy and slow, and will kind-of walk in place and then suddenly teleport in front of me doing damage, while I spam LMB. I haven't had any particularly bad fps problems (Usually running at about 28-30 fps stable) up until the 1.7.5 update. I have no mods, all my settings are at low, and my computer is pretty clean. The only things I could think of that would give me a virus is game ROMs, but they have never caused a virus before, and I only get them from coolrom. I experience the same types of lag when on servers, and the combined server lag makes it even WORSE.


Thing that got me to make a post on this: Fell off a cliff in singleplayer survival, and ended up falling off of it 5 times (About a 6 block high cliff) killing me, even though I fell a measly 6 blocks once.

This is really annoying and if someone could help me... I have all my tabs closed when running the game.... I don't know what would give me server type lag on singleplayer...

It worked! Thanks! I can't believe I could have been so blind.

Here's what you need to do. When you get to the "Put this in the mods folder" area, you need to double click that to open it up and put the 3 things in that in the mods folder. Also, if you have Buildcraft installed, doesn't matter what else is, you will need to change every id in the Buildcraft config to whatever numbers are available. I had the same problem, and even though the crash report does not specifically say that Buildcraft is to blame, believe me, that is what's doing it.

Don't have buildcraft, but I'll try what you said. I just assumed you put the "Put in mods folder" folder in the mods folder. Then again, what do I know?

Why is it so god-damned hard to install this mod?

I've been trying to install Millenaire 1.6.4, and I find it incredibly difficult. It would be much easier without the installer. I put that "Put this in mods folder" folder inside my mods folder (With Forge 1.6.4 installed of course) and at first my game loaded but it didn't say the mod was loaded, and the second time it crashed as soon as I clicked "play". I figured I must have to use the installer. So, I tried to use that, and it didn't detect that I had Forge installed so I searched for it and the installer can only find ZIP FILES. Forge is a .jar, so how am I supposed to find my Forge? And then I have to have the mod installed to use the... installer..? What? Did someone not think this through? I love this mod and it would be great to play it but i'm incredibly confused (and irritated) as to how to install it. Am I just not noticing something or can noone else use this mod, because I've been sitting here Googling and searching and finding for over an hour and a half, and I'm still left baffled. I'm no computer whiz, but this really doesn't look like a good way to go about installing any mod.



Edit: This is the second time I've tried to install this but failed, because of the same reasons as before. The last time I tried was maybe 2-3 months ago. It looks so straightforward but to me it's horribly complex.

When I bought the game, I started a world, tried to punch a tree, tried to spam click, realized it wasn't gunna work, then ragequit for 30 minutes until I was like "Oh waiiitt."

Oh boy, where to start. First of all, if the PC you are running the mods on is god awful, then you certainly not be able to run 2 gigantic mods such as Pixelmon and Aether. Second of all, if you aren't using forge, USE IT. I'm pretty sure both the mods require it, but if for some reason you aren't using it: http://files.minecraftforge.net/

Not only does Forge neatly run your mods, but it usually makes certain mods that don't work too great with each other work a little better. Forge technically makes most mods compatible with each other, but I wouldn't say that it makes 2 mods which would regularly be GAME-BREAKING when launched together, compatible (I don't think any program can currently do that). Plus, with Forge, you get a nice clean install. Download the installer, install it, and when you open the launcher click on your profiles and select the forge profile. If you have mods in your C:/users/owner/appdata/roaming/minecraft/mods folder, then Forge should automatically sort them out just fine.

So basically, either your running 2 incredibly large mods on a crap computer, or you aren't using Forge (for god knows why).

Otherwise, I (myself) cannot help you. Maybe someone else can, but this is the best advice I can offer.And apologies, I just explained all of that stuff you probably didn't need to know, when I realized you asked a question in this post. When using Forge, it isn't possible to do what you are asking. Not sure about ModLoader or a manual install however.

I'm really loving the new minecraft music, and i'd love to listen to it whenever I want, but I'm really broke, and I can't seem to find any .mp3's of it. Anywhere I could get the new music?

I'm pretty sure Ssundee's humour is horrible on purpose. I haven't actually seen over 1/2 of his videos but the way he said that pig joke, was probably him trying to be funny, by not being funny.

It also sounded like the Lil Wayne 4chan thread.

"Got 2 watches call it double time"


EDIT: By 1/2 of his videos I mean I haven't watched over a half of ONE of his videos.
