Getting Started (FTB Revelation)

FTB Revelation is a large, general-purpose Feed The Beast and CurseForge modpack created by the FTB Team . This page is a walkthrough guide that is meant to help you get started with playing the modpack by introducing its various mods little by little as you progress through the game. The guide covers the 3.2.1 version of the modpack that was released on Tue 29 October 2019.

Introduction [ ]

There are many reasons for trying out modded Minecraft. Perhaps you’re getting a bit bored of vanilla Minecraft, want additional content, or find the base game lacks something you think ought to be there. You might have seen videos or streams of people playing modded and found it intriguing. Maybe your friend plays this modpack and wants you to play with them. Whatever your motivation may be, I hope you find this guide useful in helping you get acquainted with the basics that FTB Revelation can offer you!

Of course, you do not need to follow this guide to start playing. You can 100% figure out everything by yourself if that’s how you prefer it. This step-by-step guide is only intended to provide you with some hand-holding early on if anything is confusing you. You can also stray away from the guide at any point as soon as you feel like you would rather discover things for yourself. After all, this is an open-world sandbox game – isn't that kind of the point?

If you have any constructive criticism, feedback or comments regarding this guide, you can post it in the Discussion page . You are also free to make further edits, updates and additions to this guide if you wish. After all, this is a wiki – isn't that kind of the point?

Installation [ ]

The easiest way to get into modded Minecraft and FTB Revelation is by installing a modpack launcher and using that launcher to access all your modpacks you wish to play. The best option to use is the FTB App but you can also use MultiMC . It is free, open-source and available for Windows, macOS and Linux.

• Download the latest version of MultiMC from their website at https://multimc.org/ and install it as instructed.
• Run the MultiMC launcher.
• Click the Add Instance button or the Create Instance dropdown menu item.
• Click the FTB Legacy menu item and go to the public list (should be selected by default)
• Locate FTB Revelation
• Click OK to add the modpack to the launcher.
• Launch the installed modpack. The initialization screen takes some time to prepare all the mods. This is normal.
• When the initialization is done, you can start playing FTB Revelation!

Disclaimers [ ]

Some notes before we get started:

• This guide assumes a basic understanding of the mechanics of vanilla (i.e. non-modded version of) Minecraft , such as how to move, how to interact with blocks, how to craft, how to mine and how to attack. If you have not played vanilla at all, here's a guide for complete newcomers .
• When you start playing FTB Revelation for the first time, you are advised to reconsider some things that you are used to doing in vanilla. For instance, if you do not mine Coal Ore and do not smelt Iron Ore right away, you can get much more out of these resources a bit later on.
• This guide aims in sustainability and zero waste, i.e. trying to get as much out from natural resources as possible and preferring renewable resources. As an example, use Charcoal for fuel and leave Coal Ore to the ground until you can craft yourself a Silk Touch tool to harvest it. It also assumes that you want to start gathering tool experience, so we are going to acquire the basic Tinkers' Construct toolset from the very start.
• This guide is animal friendly, i.e. you do not need to kill, hurt, imprison or otherwise harm any animals to use this guide. As an example, to craft a Bed , harvest Flax or Cotton and craft Wool instead of shearing sheep. However, unless you are playing on Peaceful difficulty, you will inevitably come across some monsters and will have to attack them to protect yourself. Since this guide aims in zero waste, it would be a shame to leave all that loot behind, wouldn't it? As such, stuff like Bones are fair game. You can ponder for yourself whether or not you consider it ethical to kill Spiders in broad daylight when they are not hostile.

These ideals are followed in order to create a guide that is accessible, optimized and of high quality. Of course, if you don't mind wasting some resources or time or abusing some animals, nothing can stop you from branching out to the dark side.

First impressions [ ]

When you first spawn, you should start out with an Akashic Tome in your inventory. Click the right mouse button with the tome in your hand to display a list of in-game manuals for various mods included in the modpack. Select a manual from the list and the Akashic Tome will transform into that manual, which you can then access with the right mouse button . To reset the Akashic Tome back to the manual list mode, point the manual at the sky or empty space and click the left mouse button . Probably the first manuals that you are going to use are Materials and You , a book about the Tinkers' Construct mod, and its Armory Addendum , another book covering Construct's Armory , the armor crafting add-on for Tinkers' Construct . The Forge Lexicon might also come of use if you ever need to convert some resources to different mod variants, like changing Marble (from Quark ) to Marble (from Astral Sorcery ). Feel free to check out the rest too if you want.

You can see yourself on a minimap at the upper right corner of your screen. That is the JourneyMap mod and, by default, you should be able to access it in fullscreen view by pressing J on your keyboard. Over there, you can also make changes to waypoints. For example, if you die, it creates a waypoint where you were found dead, and you might want to remove that waypoint at some point. Or, if you find a dungeon entrance, a lava lake or something else you want to get back to, you can add a new waypoint there.

When you open your inventory, you will see all the blocks, items and elements listed as a grid. That is the Just Enough Items (JEI) mod. You can search for any block and its crafting recipe by writing its name in the input field and clicking its icon. Clicking with the left mouse button or pressing R will show you the recipe for that item, whereas clicking with the right mouse button or pressing U will show you the uses for that item. Pressing R and U also works in the inventory, so you can check recipes and uses for any items you have acquired without needing to type their names in the input field. If there are any recipes that are not yet documented in this wiki, you can always check the available recipes with this method, so you will likely be using this functionality quite a bit.

Toolset [ ]

Even with all the possible mods imaginable, some quirks never change, so go gather 5 Wood by punching a tree or two. You might notice that as you get rid of all the wood blocks of a tree, the leaves decay much quicker than in vanilla – that's the Quick Leaf Decay mod at work. The decaying leaves will probably drop some saplings; use them to replant the tree and save extras for yourself. Oak is preferred because it is abundant, easy to farm and occasionally drops Apples , but practically any Wood will do at this point. Just don't clog up all your inventory space with all those new fancy mod trees!

When you have 5 Wood , craft a basic Tinkers' Construct workshop: 8 Blank Patterns , a Tool Station , a Part Builder and a Stencil Table . Place the blocks on the ground and the Blank Patterns on the Stencil Table .

Tinkers' Construct tools have a number of benefits. They gather tool experience, meaning you will become better at using the tool over time. They also offer a lot of variability and customization options. So, let's make you some cool new tools, shall we? You will use the Stencil Table to craft patterns, use those patterns on the Part Builder to craft tool parts, and use those tool parts on the Tool Station to craft the actual tools. Use the Stencil Table to craft these patterns first:

• Tool Rod Pattern
• Binding Pattern
• Axe Head Pattern
• Pickaxe Head Pattern
• Shovel Head Pattern

Now use the Part Builder to craft the first tool parts with the Tool Rod Pattern , Binding Pattern and Axe Head Pattern . Repeat this process for each of the patterns:

• Place the pattern on the Part Builder .
• Place the required amount of Wood Planks on the Part Builder .
• Pick up your new tool part.

Finally, use the Tool Station to craft your first tool: select the Hatchet from the lefthand side menu, place your tool parts in the Tool Station and craft a Wooden Hatchet .

Gather at least 10 more Wood with your new Hatchet and craft some more:

• Wooden Pickaxe with the same process: craft the parts on the Part Builder , assemble the parts on the Tool Station .
• 4 more Blank Patterns
• Crafting Station for more crafting options.
• Pattern Chest for storing all your patterns.
• Part Chest for storing all your tool parts.

By now, you probably figured out that you can craft the tool parts from something else other than Wood , of course. Every material has one or more traits associated with it, and the traits can vary depending on what tool part you use the material for. Since you get one trait for each tool part, it is usually a good idea to use different suitable materials for each part, so you will get as much traits as you can for the tool. Then again, some traits also stack, so you might get better traits if you use the same material for several parts. Materials also affect the durability of the tool in different ways, and the material used for the head tool part determines the tool's mining level and speed, attack rating and what materials can be used to repair the tool.

That is a lot of variables to take into account, but basically at this point in the game, you want to craft your tool handles out of Wood and tool heads out of Cobblestone . After a while, you can upgrade your tools to also use Stone Bindings , Flint heads, Bone Tool Rods or Cactus guards, for example.

Gather 10 Cobblestone with your new Wooden Pickaxe and craft:

• 2 x Stone Axe Head
• Stone Pickaxe Head
• 2 x Stone Shovel Head

Place your Wooden Hatchet on the Tool Station along with a Stone Axe Head and pick up your upgraded tool. Neat! Do the same with the Wooden Pickaxe and the Stone Pickaxe Head . Next, using the Stone Axe Head and the Stone Shovel Heads , craft two more Tinkers' Construct tools: the Stone Shovel , and the Stone Mattock .

If your tools run out of durability, they get broken but not removed from your inventory. Whenever you want to repair a tool, you can either:

• put the tool on the Tool Station along with the material that was used to craft the head of the tool. For example, if you have a Mattock crafted from a Stone Axe Head and a Wooden Shovel Head , you can use either stone or wood to repair it.
• craft Sharpening Kits on the Part Builder out of the material that was used to craft the head of the tool, and use them on the go by putting them to a crafting grid along with the tool you want to repair.

That covers the basics of how to craft and repair tools in Tinkers' Construct . Maybe now you want to craft yourself a Stone Broadsword to protect yourself, or a Stone Kama to pick up Grass or to shear Wool from sheep, for example. You might also want to consider replacing the Wooden Bindings with Stone Bindings , or using other materials for your tools, such as Flint , Cactus , Bone or Paper . You can check out all the material qualities in the Materials and You in-game manual, and search for more information online in case something is explained vaguely.

Let there be light! [ ]

Craft a Furnace and smelt 1 Wood to create Charcoal . Put the Charcoal in your crafting grid and you will get 8 Tiny Charcoal . They each smelt one item, so this is a way for you to make sure you get everything out of your Charcoals at this point in the early game.

Smelt a bit more Wood , and you should now have enough Charcoal to craft some Torches . Alternatively, you can create Stone Rods out of Cobblestone and use them to craft Stone Torches , or use those Tiny Charcoals to craft some cute Tiny Torches . Pushing F7 will show you any places where the light level may become so dark that monsters can spawn there.

Agriculture [ ]

Another thing you should do is gather and plant some seeds and plants. Try to find at least Seeds (drop from Grass ), Rice Seeds (found near beaches), Flax Seeds (flowers growing near Grass ), Sugar Canes (next to water sources) and Cacti (deserts).

• Wheat and Rice are a great early-game food source ( Baguette & Rice Bread ). You can also use Rice to craft a substitute to Slimeballs : Rice Slimeballs . Plant Wheat Seeds and Rice on Farmland (i.e. Dirt tilled with the Stone Mattock ).
• Flax is an efficient way to obtain String , and that can be used to make Wool . Plant Flax on Farmland as well.
• Sugar Canes can be crafted into Paper which is, alongside Cactus , a useful renewable material in building tool parts in Tinkers' Construct . Plant the Sugar Canes next to a water source, and the Cacti on Sand .

If you find at least 3 Apples , put them to the crafting grid with any Sapling and you can create an Apple Sapling . When it grows into an apple tree, you can right-click its ripe fruits to get a steady source of Apples .

Don't like waiting for all your crops, plants, trees and fruits to grow? Craft a Watering Can , put it in your hand and hold the right mouse button while looking at Water to fill the can with water. Now that it's full, you can use the Watering Can 's water by right-clicking growing crops, plants, saplings and fruits to speed up their growth, similar to Bone Meal albeit slower.

When you till Dirt or Grass blocks, you might occasionally come across some Worms . If you place them on Dirt or Grass , they start tilling the soil for you into Farmland . They come in real handy early-game when you don't have Buckets yet to carry Water around, but if this sort of symbiotic relationship with Worms is too much animal cruelty for you, you can always find a body of water and grow your plants at the beach instead. Or, if you have a lot of Bones , you might want to utilize Fertile Soil . To passively speed up the growth of Sugar Canes , Cactus and other plants that normally grow on Sand , you can craft yourself some Snad .

When you have gathered the resources (or at least most of them – e.g. Cacti can be a bit tricky to find in some environments, but don't sweat it), you should find a place where you want to build your base. You likely want to live nearby a body of water, at least initially, so that you can craft a Boat and start exploring the nearby shoreline efficiently. When you have harvested enough Flax to acquire 12 String , refine them into 3 Wool and craft yourself a cozy Bed . Good night!

Storage [ ]

Since you have gathered quite a bit of items by now, you might have already crafted some vanilla Chests . You will most certainly want to upgrade those to Small Storage Crates by crafting Chest To Storage Crate Upgrades . These single-block crates have 13×9=117 item slots, which means more space for your junk than what four vanilla Chests offer. Furthermore, you can upgrade them later on to Medium Storage Crates and Large Storage Crates .

If you have large quantities of certain items like Cobblestone , you may also want to craft Better Barrels or Basic Drawers for this purpose. These can likewise both be upgraded later on to contain more items.

If you need to move crates, chests, barrels and drawers around, you can lift them with single-use Wooden Chest Transporters .

Workshop [ ]

You should already have a Crafting Station , a Tool Station , a Part Builder , a Stencil Table , a Part Chest , and a Pattern Chest . Now craft an Armor Station (we'll get to that in a minute), and you have your basic Tinkers' Construct blocks ready. You can of course put the workshop blocks where you want, but to get the most out of the modpack's functionalities, lay them out in front of you like so:

Interacting with the workshop is now much more convenient:

• All the blocks (except the Small Storage Crate ) are accessible via tabs, and their physical layout more or less correlates with their tab position in the user interface.
• The Crafting Station can access the contents of the Small Storage Crate .
• Both the Part Builder and the Stencil Table can access the contents of the Pattern Chest .

Currently, there are a total of 43 different Patterns and they are easy and cheap to craft, so at this point you might just as well craft the Patterns for each possible tool part and store them all in your Pattern Chest .

Now that you have settled on where to build your base, get your first building tool by crafting a Stone Wand to make building the base faster and easier.

Patience, young padawan! [ ]

Now you have your tools ready, but there are some things you might want to consider before heading off to mine:

• If a block drops something else than the block itself (e.g. Coal Ore drops Coal , Redstone Ore drops Redstone , Diamond Ore drops Diamonds ), you might not want to mine it until you get a tool with Silky Touch that does not break harvested blocks. In FTB Revelation, acquiring a tool like this is a bit easier, so wait if you have some patience.
• You can mine ores, but do not smelt any of them yet. This goes for Iron Ore , Copper Ore , Tin Ore , Aluminum Ore , Gold Ore etc. This is because you will soon be able to process your ores so that they will generate two ingots per one ore – or even more!

Pack up [ ]

The Forestry mod adds a number of backpacks to the game, and they are useful for extending your inventory space. As long as you have 4 String (harvested from Flax ), 2 Wool (crafted from 8 String ) and some Wood , you can already craft yourself a Foresting Backpack that stores all your different Wood , Saplings , Seeds , Wheat , Rice Seeds , Rice , Flax Seeds and so on. You might also be interested in:

• the Digging Backpack (requires 2 Stone ) that stores natural resources like Dirt , Cobblestone , Gravel , Sand , Clay and so on,
• the Building Backpack (requires 2 Clay ) that stores building materials like Planks , Slabs , Stairs , Fences , Bricks and so on, and
• the Mining Backpack (requires 2 Iron Ingots ) that stores ores and ingots like Iron Ore and Iron Ingots , Copper Ore and Copper Ingots , Tin Ore and Tin Ingots , Aluminum Ore and Aluminum Ingots , Gold Ore and Gold Ingots and so on.

If you don't really care for this functionality of certain item types automatically going to the backpacks, or if you want additional space for items that don't go into Forestry 's backpacks, the Project Red mod adds Backpacks that are essentially portable chests with 27 internal inventory slots. Gather 64 String String to create 8 Woven Cloth and use them to craft a White Backpack (and dye it if you wish).

Suit up [ ]

Alright, let's craft you an armor next. Each armor piece in Construct's Armory consists of a Core, Plates and a Trim. At this point in the early game, arguably the best armor you can craft is made out of Cactus Cores, Bone Plates and Wooden Trims, but if you haven't acquired enough of those materials just yet, feel free to use any materials you want. After all, you can gradually upgrade the armor to a better version if you wish.

• Use the Stencil Table to craft a Pattern for each Armor Core, a Pattern for the Armor Plates, and a Pattern for the Armor Trim.
• Then, use the Part Builder to craft each of the Armor Cores (e.g. from Cactus ), 4 Armor Plates (e.g. from Bone ), and 4 Armor Trims (e.g. from Wood ).
• Finally, use the Armor Station to craft each piece of armor from the Cores, Plates and Trims, and equip the armor once it is done.

If you want to replace any armor part, e.g. to upgrade to Obsidian Plates, craft the new Plates, place them on the Armor Station along with the armor piece you want to modify and pick up your new armor. Like with tools, you should be able to find all the information about the qualities of different armor materials qualities in the Armory Addendum in-game manual, check out the Construct's Armory wikipage, or alternatively search for more information online.

Enough crafting, let's mine! [ ]

You now have a base, a bed, torches, tools, armor and plenty of inventory space for different items. As such, you are ready to delve into the depths of your first dungeons and finally get your loot game going.

Smeltery [ ]

As soon as you have found a few blocks of Iron Ore and some Lava , you're ready for your next task. Tinkers' Construct features a neat multiblock structure called the Smeltery . With it, you can, for instance:

• Get double ingots from ore blocks by smelting them
• Create tool parts out of metals and other materials by casting them
• Blend metals and other materials together by alloying them

Smeltery parts are built from Seared Bricks that are smelted from Grout , which is a mixture of Gravel , Sand and Clay . You will need at least 18 of each to get enough Grout for building the tiniest possible Smeltery, and you need another 5 Sand to smelt some Glass . However, the Smeltery is much more useful when it is even just a bit larger, so I advise you to get at least 80 Seared Bricks (so 40 of each Gravel , Sand and Clay ), and an additional 5 Sand to be turned into Glass . With these, the Smeltery can smelt 4 items at once, and it's easier to see what's actually boiling inside. You can also expand the Smeltery later even further if you wish. Go dig!

The Smeltery uses Lava as its fuel source. As you know from Vanilla, to acquire Lava , you will need a Bucket , and it requires three Iron Ingots to craft one. Some people prefer to craft the Quartz Grindstone solely for this purpose; I suggest you just use up 3 Iron Ore , since crafting the grindstone requires 3 Certus Quartz Crystals , and those are even more rare to come by than Iron. So, craft a Bucket and go pick up some Lava .

Once you have your materials ready – a Lava Bucket , 80 Seared Bricks and 10 Glass – it's time to build all the different parts for the Smeltery . Craft these:

• 4 Seared Bricks (4 Seared Bricks each = 16 Seared Bricks total)
• 4 Seared Glass (4 Seared Bricks , 1 Glass each = 16 Seared Bricks , 4 Glass total)
• 1 Smeltery Controller (8 Seared Bricks )
• 1 Seared Gauge (4 Seared Bricks , 5 Glass)
• 2 Smeltery Drains (6 Seared Bricks each = 12 Seared Bricks total)
• 2 Faucets (3 Seared Bricks each = 6 Seared Bricks total)
• 1 Casting Basin (7 Seared Bricks )
• 1 Casting Table (7 Seared Bricks )

Lay out the blocks like so: (attach the Faucets on the sides of the Smeltery Drains )

If your building skills are decent enough, the Smeltery Controller should light up with fire particles validating all your hard work. It's alive!

You can now add Lava to the Seared Gauge by right-clicking it with the Lava Bucket . However, if you have more Lava , you can also create your first Obsidian Pickaxe with the Smeltery. This is done like so:

• Right-click the Smeltery Drain with the Lava Bucket . This will pour the Lava into the Smeltery.
• Fill the empty Bucket with Water .
• Right-click the Smeltery Drain again with the Water Bucket . This will pour the Water on the Lava . The Smeltery alloys (i.e. combines) the two to create liquid Obsidian .
• Right-click the Faucet that you have placed next to the Smeltery Drain and on top of the Casting Basin . Liquid Obsidian will fill the Casting Basin and start cooling off.
• After hearing a faint hiss, right click the Casting Basin to collect your block of Obsidian .
• Repeat the process one more time until you have two blocks of Obsidian in your inventory.

Now you can go to the Part Builder and craft yourself an Obsidian Pickaxe Head . Or, you can craft an Obsidian Sharpening Kit and put that, your existing Flint Pickaxe and a Flint to the Tool Station to get a Flint Pickaxe that can mine anything an Obsidian Pickaxe could. Do you want a better pickaxe that requires Obsidian for repairs, or a pickaxe that can be repaired with Flint but has slower mining speed? The choice is yours!

To smelt ores into ingots, you need to place an Ingot Cast on the Casting Table . To create casts, you can use Molten Gold , but Molten Aluminum Brass is preferred due to its cheaper material costs. To get Molten Aluminum Brass , put 3 Aluminum Ores and 1 Copper Ore to the Smeltery Controller to alloy them. Smelt 1 Clay (item) in a regular Furnace to acquire 1 Brick , take the Brick in your hand and right-click the Casting Table to place it there, and then right-click the Faucet over the Casting Table to create the Ingot Cast . You can create more casts out of the spare Molten Aluminum Brass you have with this same method, or you can just smelt the rest of it into Aluminum Brass Ingots with the Ingot Cast and resmelt them later if you ever need additional casts.

Now that you know how smelting, casting and alloying in the Smeltery works, you can finally smelt some of that iron to receive double Iron Ingots for every Iron Ore you smelt. The same principle works for Copper Ore , Tin Ore and so on. Neat!

Since the Smeltery requires Lava for fuel, you could really use a portable method of gathering it. Luckily, crafting Stone Drums is really cheap. They can each hold up to 16 buckets of liquid and you can even stack them.

Power up [ ]

As you progress further, you can start building various machines to get even more out of your ores and to do much more fun stuff.

When you have acquired at least 8 Copper Ingots , 6 Iron Ingots , 4 Tin Ingots , 1 Gold Ingot and 5 Redstone , you can craft a Survival Generator and a Pulverizer . Place the Survival Generator and the Pulverizer next to each other. The Survival Generator burns things like Charcoal to produce electricity in the form of Redstone Flux (RF for short). This RF is then used by the Pulverizer to crush your ores into two respective dusts, which you can then smelt in a furnace to get two ingots per ore. The Pulverizer also creates some byproducts, so you might get some Nickel Dust when crushing Iron Ores , Gold Dust when crushing Copper Ores , Iron Dust when crushing Tin Ores , and so on.

As you build more machines, you likely want to hook them all up efficiently to the same power source. Craft 1 Transfer Node (Energy) and a stack of Transfer Pipes . Plug the Transfer Node on a side of your Survival Generator and add Transfer Pipes to the general direction where you want to place your machines. When you place the Pulverizer and other machines beside the Transfer Pipes , they should all receive RF power from the same Survival Generator .

More machines also means more power demand, so you likely want to get a Furnace Generator pretty soon. At some point, you may want to upgrade your power generation system to an easier setup than manually inserting Charcoal to heat your generators. Mischief of Mice actually has a great YouTube tutorial on how to build a system that provides you with infinite amounts of renewable energy. Check it out at: Thermal Expansion: Infinite Renewable Energy Early Game! Minecraft 1.10+

Want to explore, find villages and stuff? Farm 30 Rice , craft them into 20 Rice Dough , craft that into 20 Rice Slimeballs , craft them into Slime Blocks , and craft them back into vanilla Slimeballs . Now you can use those to craft yourself two items: Slime Boots and the Slimesling . Equip the Slime Boots as your leg armor. If you fall from a great height, instead of getting fall damage the boots now make you bounce. Take the Slimesling in your hand, go outside, look straight down, hold the right mouse button and release it after the sling has charged. Whee! The Slimesling propels you to the distance opposite to where you are looking at when you release the slingshot. With these two items, it is now easy for you to start exploring the nearby landscape very fast. Even cavern exploring becomes easier with them. Just make sure you don't fall into a lava lake, as the boots won't protect you then!

The riceball method gets you enough Slimeballs to get started, but it gets pretty slow when you start needing more of that stuff. Tinkers' Construct spawns floating slime islands in the Overworld, and you can now find them easier with the sling and the boots. Those islands feature slime trees with Slimy Leaves that drop Slimy Saplings . Climb up to those islands, get yourself some of those saplings, plant them on Congealed Green Slime , and in the future, you can farm those slimes more conveniently.

Mining dimension [ ]

If you want to gather resources but don't like ruining the Overworld with strip mines, Aroma1997's Dimensional World creates a whole new mining dimension for you to exploit. With a flat landscape and eternal daylight, it makes it easier to find resources you need. Craft a Mining Multitool , at least 6 Portal Frames , build a portal with them and open the portal with the Mining Multitool .

When you have found your first villagers and struck a trade to acquire your first Emerald , return to your base and craft a Shipping Bin . You can now use that to sell various types of farmable items and get Emeralds in return without having to travel to a village for that. Craft a Market to also have the ability to buy yourself any farming resources that you might still lack.

Soften up… and crush down [ ]

Now that you have Emeralds , you might as well craft a Silky Jewel and attach it to your Tinkers' Construct pickaxe at the Tool Station to get Silk Touch on it. This means you can now mine Coal Ore , Redstone Ore , Lapis Lazuli Ore , Diamond Ore , Nether Quartz Ore , Black Quartz Ore , Certus Quartz Ore and a bunch of other ores that require Silk Touch to be harvested without breaking the blocks.

Although you already have the Pulverizer , you want to craft two machines with the same name: an Extra Utilities 2 Crusher as well as an Actually Additions Crusher . These will let you get the most out of your newly gathered ores.

Collecting experience [ ]

If you haven't died too much yet, you probably have gathered some experience that you wouldn't want to go to waste. When you have two Emeralds and two Lapis Lazuli , craft a Tome of Knowledge and use it to store all your experience into it. If later you need experience levels e.g. for enchanting, use the tome while sneaking to gain the stored experience. Click V to make the tome in your inventory autocollect all the experience you receive from now on.

To infinity and beyond! [ ]

Once you reach Bedrock , expose some of it, get yourself some Flint and Steel and light some of the Bedrock blocks on fire. When the dust settles, this spawns a new crafting ingredient, Grains of Infinity , that you can use to build various machines from Ender IO . Build a Simple Alloy Smelter and a Simple SAG Mill .

Now, use the Simple SAG Mill to obtain Clippings and Trimmings , make those into Industrial Dye Blend , use that to craft the Industrial Machine Chassis and use it to upgrade the Simple SAG Mill into its more advanced version, the SAG Mill . (You can also upgrade the Simple Alloy Smelter into the Alloy Smelter with a similar process.) Finally, you will need a Basic Capacitor for the SAG Mill to work, and you should also put in some Flints to use as early-game grinding balls that will increase the SAG Mill's output. With this setup, you get even more ingots per ore than the Pulverizer gets you. You can also craft better grinding balls such as Dark Steel Grinding Balls that grant you even more generous output rates, though keep in mind that those grinding balls also use up some of your resources.

McJty said: Depends on how much power you want to put in it. But the maximum it can do is from y level 0 to 256 with a radius of 100 (so that's a diameter of 200 blocks). Basically it is a cylinder and you decide the height and radius of it in the GUI. Click to expand...

One thing that no-one seems to have noticed is the Blink Focus from Forbidden Magic. Maybe not as powerful as some, but the augment options give it some fun combat applications

Hmmmm. I am running MPS fine on my 1.7 Infinity pack. I just pulled MPS and Numina off DW20's pack, and voila (as it's not official on Muse's website).

Shevron said: Right! You also need to copy this folder from the DW20 installtion: minecraft\config\machinemuse\recipes There's 2 recipe files in there that are needed by NEI or something. All I know is that when I copied it everything worked fine. Just copy the whole machinemuse folder for good measure Click to expand...

asb3pe said: I've spent the past week working on IC2 mod... and I've discovered the mod has a "teleporter" block, but haven't tried using it yet. Still working on making Quantum Hybrid Solar Panels, but when I have enough of those I'll prob use them to power some Teleporter blocks! Why fly somewhere if you can just snap your fingers or click your ruby red high heels together like Dorothy? Also, I made the IC2 Quantum Armor, however I can't figure out how to fly in the armor (it requires a jetpack when you make it). I returned to using the very-easy Simply Jetpack Flux armor. I looked thru the keyboard controls screen and couldn't figure out what keys enable flight with the Quantum suit. I also see the Gravitation Suite mod takes the IC2 Quantum Armor and expands upon it, but I haven't made that one yet to try it out. Click to expand...

It does let you fly, but only in 1.6+ minecraft versions (i think). The recipe does somewhere along the line include an electric jetpack if i'm not mistaken (Not played with IC2 in ages.) EDIT: If you wondering why on earth you'd upgrade the chestplate knowing both allow flight, the gravi holds a LOT more EU than the Quantum, and it charges EU-using tools. Again as i've not used IC2 in ages, I don't rember the hotkey, but you should be able to find it in the key bindings setup somewhere.

Botania sash and flux infused boots and leggings will have you moving pretty quick, after that, Draconic armor will have you running into things and getting dizzy.

There are springs in the mod pack. There basic ones and more powerful ones. (Which are just 2 basic ones put together). Stand on the spring and right click and it will send you flying into the sky then use a hang glider to take off. I usually have an air sigil as well. You can get all this within an hour of game time. It's just iron and string and it takes 2 to make one of the higher tier. The hang glider is sticks and leather. Springs are from "Spring Board" and hang glider is from "Open Blocks". Air sigil is from Blood Magic. I used this for a really long time until I brewed flight potions using the Alchemic Chemistry Set. A flask will give you 8 swigs of flight (which equal 8 minutes of flight) and you can combine 2 flasks to refill one flask. So if you have 4 uses in 2 flasks you will have 1 empty flask and 1 with 8 uses.  

Tutorials/Transportation methods

Transporting items, mobs, and yourself long distances is an important but tiresome task. Thankfully, there are many ways to make the trips easier and faster.

• 1.4 Minecarts
• 1.5 Boats and ice roads
• 2.1 Donkeys, mules, and llamas
• 2.2 Ender chests
• 2.3 Shulker boxes
• 3.1 Water channels
• 3.2 Hoppers
• 4 Villager and mob transport

Player transport [ ]

Walking or running everywhere are viable options, but you may want a faster or smoother option, possibly with added storage benefits. Below are options for transporting player(s) in order of the effort required to construct them.

Horses can be found in plains and savanna biomes, and can be tamed by mounting them until they produce heart particles. A saddle is required in order to control the horse, and it can be equipped with tiered horse armor (Both saddles and horse armor are found in various generated structures). Horses have variable colors and stats, with running speed, jump height, and health all being randomized for each wild horse. A horse that spawns with high stats in all categories makes a useful, tough mount for traversing rough terrain.

Donkeys uncommonly spawn under the same conditions as horses, with the unique ability to be equipped with chests instead of horse armor. This allows for early game, 15-slot mobile storage. However, donkeys spawn with less desirable maximum stats than horses. Fortunately, donkeys and horses can be bred to produce mules, which share the chest ability of donkeys with stats more resembling horses.

Llamas , which spawn in Mountains and Savannahs, are notable for their ability to form a convoy if a llama is being lead by the player. However, since llamas cannot be controlled when mounted by any means, they serve better as item transportation in singleplayer (As they can be equipped with chests, with the amount they can carry being a randomly generated stat). However, if the player is playing with other users, they could ride on the llamas while one player leads.

The Elytra are late-game items found in the End that can be equipped in the chest piece slot. While falling, the player can double-tap the jump button to activate the elytra, allowing the player to gradually glide long distances. This by itself is a powerful transportation method, but the player can enhance their flying with the use of firework rockets to propel themselves in any direction, allowing for extended flight time. However, the player must take note of the elytra's durability, which gradually decreases while flying (The Unbreaking enchantment can be added to slow this effect, and Mending can be added to exchange gathered XP for durability). Phantom membranes can be used to repair elytra in an anvil if necessary. Having a sustainable amount of firework rockets is also fairly expensive if the player does not have a mob farm to easily produce gunpowder. There is also the possibility of the player dying of fall damage if the elytra's durability runs out, or from smacking into a surface at high speeds.

Minecarts [ ]

Minecarts allow the player to be transported along rails with no input from the player, with the downside of having to create rail systems to any desired destinations. It can also be quite expensive to create longer rail lines, especially if powered rails are being used. See tutorials for minecart-related redstone contraptions to automate launching, create minecart dispensers, and more.

Boats and ice roads [ ]

Surprisingly, one of the fastest transportation methods in the game involves a boat on solid ground. When boats are on any variant of ice blocks, they can be controlled as easily as if they were in water, and can travel at immense speeds thanks to the slippery nature of the ice. The speed of the boat can also be adjusted depending on which variant of ice is used; Normal ice is the slowest, with packed ice being in the middle, and blue ice being the fastest option. However, this is possibly the most resource and time demanding method in the game, as the player needs huge amounts of ice, blocks to keep the boat on track, and other materials if the player chooses to decorate the track. Additionally, colliding with mobs can be a considerable hazard, especially hostile ones.

Item transport [ ]

Transporting items is essential for players who have advanced to the point of having more items than they know what to do with, whether it is for moving items around your base autonomously or moving items across vast distances.

• Long range options

These options are better for moving items across long distances, such as from one home to another.

Donkeys, mules, and llamas [ ]

As mentioned above, these mobs work well as player/item transport combos. They usually have small inventory spaces, as they are early game options. With leads, many of these mobs can be moved at once, although it can be frustrating with the fragility of leads and rough terrain.

Ender chests [ ]

An ender chest is a variant of chest obtained with 8 obsidian and an ender eye, with the unique ability to share its inventory with all ender chests across the world (specific to each player). It can be used as a "bank vault" of sorts where all of your most important items are kept, as its contents are completely safe from being stolen. Alternatively, it can be used to deposit items from one location and have those items be immediately accessible from any distance in another ender chest. Furthermore, if a silk touch pick is kept on hand, the ender chest can be picked up freely (otherwise, 8 obsidian minus the ender eye is dropped), allowing for a makeshift extra inventory to carry around.

Shulker boxes [ ]

End game items that can be crafted from 2 shulker shells and a chest, these boxes allow for the most efficient storage in the game. The size of a single chest, each box retains its contents when broken, allowing for a backpack of sorts. While shulker boxes cannot be placed inside other shulker boxes, just a few shulker boxes in a player's inventory can allow for a small storage room's worth of items to be in the player's hands at any given moment. They can additionally be dyed and named to create catalogs of what items they contain.

Note that shulker boxes can be put inside ender chests, meaning by combining the carry-on ender chest's inventory space with the player's inventory (excluding the hotbar) to fill with shulker boxes, the player would have a total of 1458 inventory spaces for carrying items.

Short-range systems [ ]

These methods of item transport are best used in transporting items around small areas, such as transporting item drops from a mob farm into adjacent chests.

Water channels [ ]

By using water source blocks, players can create an item transporting channel that serves as an early game transport system. Combined with soul sand bubble columns, which lift items to higher levels, and magma bubble columns, which pull items down, water channels provide efficient transport. They can additionally be outfitted with ice tracks to make the items move even faster, although this adds to the cost of the system.

Hoppers [ ]

Hoppers are essentially item pipes that move items within them into the container it is pointing to. This can include other hoppers, allowing for hopper chains that can transport items quickly. The hoppers can also lead into chests, barrels, dispensers, and more to funnel items into storage rooms or to fuel redstone contraptions. This is a more pricey, slower, and less versatile system than water channels, with the prime downside being their inability to transport items upward (only to the side or downward). Therefore, hoppers are better used sparingly, only to take items from one container to another or from a water channel into a container.

Villager and mob transport [ ]

The player can transport villagers and other mobs to new locations (for the purpose of starting new villages or baiting mob traps) using a variety of techniques:

• Minecart : The player builds a minecart track from the village to the destination, then pushes a villager into the cart and pushes the cart to the destination.
• Water path : The player creates a tunnel or walled path with no exits along the way, and then with two water buckets , uses water to push villagers down the path a few blocks at a time, using the empty bucket to retrieve the water block furthest back. A soul sand bubble column can be used to move villagers upward. Alternatively, if the tunnel is flat, one may use an open fence gate or sign above an ice block adjacent to each last flowing water block to prevent the other adjacent water (source block) to flow backward, therefore creating a cheap "railway".
• Boat : A simple way to transport a single villager over ground is to push one into a boat and then drive the boat, which can be rowed (albeit slowly) over land. A boat can move upward by using a piston in the ground or creating an upward bubble column. The player can also drive the boat up to the step, place a second boat on the step, break the first boat (without hitting the villager) to cause the villager to move to the second boat. In Bedrock Edition , a boat can be pulled up using a lead .
• Job blocks/beds : To move a single unemployed villager, the player can place down a job site block and have the villager claim it. Continuously break and place the job site block, luring the villager to where you want it to go. At night, you can do this with beds, but it is dangerous because mobs, especially zombies, can spawn. Alternatively, to move a whole village at once, one can break all beds, job site blocks, and the village bell, and continually place them down like above. It is best to avoid dirt paths when traversing in villages, as they have a slightly lower hitbox then regular blocks and may cause your boat to get stuck.
• Nether portal : If portals have not already been constructed in The Nether , then the player can create a portal at the Overworld destination, travel into the nether and back out again immediately, then build another portal in a village less than 128 blocks from the first portal. After pushing villagers into the village portal (manually or by minecart), then pushing them back out again, letting them "cool down" for 30 seconds, and pushing them back in, the villagers should exit from the first portal.
