Quote from Courageous_Marinade»
This may be the end for me here as well. I have no overt objection to creating a Twitch account, other than the fact that very username I've tried is unavailable. I have no interest in being user1234567, because I'm OCD and names like that irritate me to no end.
Also, some of the usernames I have tried have never had any contest posted, probably because they were forced to create a twitch account as well just so they could participate somewhere else, which is the biggest problem with this nonsense. Huge amounts of users sign up that never participate, but fill up the username pool.
While I do understand the reasons behind this, I can't create a Twitch account with a crappy username (my OCD won't allow it), and if that is the requirement for continued participation here, then I won't be participating after 10/23.
Try merging your account, like the forum is requiring. I had the same issue (my sunperp account was unavailable if I attempted to create a new account on twitch), but when I merged my curse account and asked it to create a new twitch account, suddenly, the sunperp twitch username was available for me. I suspect that the reason you can't register a new account on twitch with your forum username is simply that twitch may have reserved your username because of the existence of your forum username (if that makes any sense).

There was another thread about a month ago discussing Java support and Minecraft:
https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/minecraft-java-edition/discussion/2948914-oracle-wants-a-money-slice-of-that-big-ol-java-pie
I'm not sure this thread is related to that one, so I will let this thread continue as a separate discussion.

People can post their own house builds in their own threads in the Show Your Creations section -- they don't need a dedicated thread for this. Since this thread has a video post in it, I will move it to the Videos section.

When posting suggestion threads, you are only permitted to include one idea (or closely-related group of ideas) per thread. This thread contains multiple unrelated ideas and is considered a wish list, which is not allowed.

In searching for more information about this, I came across these old threads on the Reddit FTB forums, and there are other threads on the Forge forums, Minecraft subreddit, etc. Most seem to be saying that this is a non-issue.
https://www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/8d8qym/oracle_to_start_requiring_licensing_for/
https://www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/9yo55u/oracle_java_8_end_of_support_january_2019_and/
The January, 2019 date appears to be only for getting updates for commercial use of the Java 8 environment, not Java 9 or 10 or non-commercial use of Java 8.
According to Dinnerbone, the supported launchers for the Minecraft: Java Edition are compatible with Java 8, 9, and 10, so worst-case, Mojang may need to simply move the launcher to use Java 9 or 10 by default, and/or drop support for Java 8 in a future launcher version.

Looking at the comparisons between the the two, the 9900k would probably be a better processor for Minecraft, since its single-core speed (and base clock) is higher than the 9980xe. The 9980xe has significantly more cores/threads, but Minecraft would not likely take advantage of more than a few threads, so most of the 9980xe processor would be wasted.

You should really explain what stages are, just in case people are not familiar with that modpack.
