  1. Necrotic Bones look like black bones. Bones come from skeletons. Black bones must logically be related to Wither Skeletons. Do the math... I didn't even have to look this up. I've had to look up about 2 things since the pack was released and they were mainly about the mods that didn't even have a mod page/wiki page yet, such as HexxitGear.

  2. The mod pack yes, but I'm assuming at least the majority of the mods would have been around for a bit. .... and that was an awfully hostile response to a totally reasonable question.

    It wasn't hostile. It's been only a few days or a week and people are seeing if texture packs that work with the modpack are even out yet. HexxitGear is a custom mod by the Technic team, so that means people have to make the new textures. That takes awhile if you want it to look good.

  3. The Chisel can be used in two ways.

    One, equip it in your hot bar, then use it on a stone block. Bam, Stone Brick. Can also change Endstone into Endstone Brick, Obsidian into Obsidian Brick.

    Two, combine the Chisel with an item on the Crafting Grid. Chisel + Diamond = Diamond Brick. Chisel + Bone = Bone Brick.

    I'll get this better documented in the Wiki, soon.

    Did not know the first option, so thanks for that! :)

  4. You put chisels with items and it makes bricks. Try putting a chisel with endstone to make endstone brick. Use it on one single diamond to make a diamond brick. (It makes them into decorative blocks basically.) Pretty useful for decorating and have used a bunch in my building. :)

  5. i also got a server but its mostly me and my friends i think it works fine and im not eve ngoing to think about making it public

    Any public server with these kinds of modpacks/mods need to have some major rules, filters, permission blocks, etc. or the entire server will just blow up haha.

  6. tavelling long distances is not neccasairly at all managing inventory is!

    you find loot TONS of loot ... what to do with it ? pick the best loot dump, and the lesser loot in a chest or something. with a few backpacks you should be fine, then just go from outpost to outpost you make. outpost often only take just 1-3 minutes to make, and you always loot around a circle around the outpost and clear all the dungeons etc.

    so travelling? hell no, thinking hell yes :)

    This is also why i think hexxit servers work bad :3. People loot way too much defeating purpose for other players.

    Hexxit was made around to be on servers, do you realize that? Without decking yourself out completely and even then, dungeons and such are still difficult without other people. Then all the loot is overwhelming for just one person. That's why the loot is so big. For multiple people... Travelling is fun and all, but I prefer travelling out, finding stuff, and then, you know, not having to go all the way back with the risk of losing my stuff. On my server when my friends are all separated in groups, I need an easy way to get around and teleporting is useful...

    Nah hexxit servers have issues because too many people think it's just another minecraft flavor when really its very different from any pack i've seen before with different structure. and you can't just have 100 people on at a time with no forethought.

    Hexxit wasn't based around 100 people. It was based around 20 at MAX. It's mainly for small groups of players. I have about 7ish-10ish max players on my server and there's only one person who annoys us. :P He just goes out and explores when we're not on and basically explores most stuff we find. It's annoying to find him on my server in the early mornings and late nights. :(

  7. it can't be lag if I've left it running for 20 minutes and it still won't load the spawn area. I also don't tele to areas that I've never been too because you need to know the elevation in order to tele with the map.

    It works perfectly fine on my system and have yet to fall into the void. If you fall into the void then that is lag. I've used the portal gun mod and by going through the portal I was sent to the void. That was lag. Same kind of scenario here.

  8. I've enabled teleportation via the map on my server in the MapWriter.cfg and everyone in my server has it enabled in their config.

    The issue is that you need to be OP, or operator, to access the "tp" command. If I make them OP then they have the power to stop my server, give themselves things, etc. and I do NOT want that.

    Is there a way to have this use of teleportation enabled without giving them OP powers?

  9. I've tried this, and it only works in short distances for me. If you try to tele from any great distance you will end up in the void until you tele back to where you were previously. It doesn't load the world after you teleport for some reason.

    That's just lag. Also if you teleport into a randomly never generated chunk before, you will lag to high heavens.

  10. Rapiers ignore armor and shields so it will easily destroy their armor. Best to have someone with a rapier go in and destroy the enemies armor and have people sniper from afar and then when the armor is down everyone switch to longsword, broadsword, or giant sword and go at it.

  11. Yeah, I think I'm going to have to do that. But to get to the end, you'll need multiple Eye of Ender, which requires Ender Pearls. I've seen maybe 3 Endermen in the Overworld. Maybe I could create multiple rifts right next to each other so they start spreading and cause more Endermen to spawn in that area… Hmm.

    I've found tons of Eye of Enders from dungeons/castles. I have enough to go to The End and my friend found a stronghold without using the eyes so I am guessing that The End will be my ender pearl farm.

  12. there are so many ways to become an invincible thunder god in minecraft, one more isn't gonna break the game. you just have to ask yourself, "do i want to be invincible, or do i want to have fun?"

    it's kind of like morrowind. you could become *literally* invincible in that game in the first 5 minutes using ash yams and bloat from wolverine hall. there are still a lot of people who will tell you that it was their favorite game ever, and why? because they chose not to do that.

    as for SMP, if someone's doing something you don't like on your server, ban them. bam. done. you don't even have to tell them why you banned them if you don't want to!

    personally, i think the mechanic of disenchanting gear to gain enchanting levels is fun. it gives me a reason to keep all that garbage gear that drops off of random special mobs. i wouldn't really say that anyone is at fault for this exploit, it's just a bad interaction between two mods.

    For me, all I care about is having the thrill of raiding a castle, have a chance of dying but not enough to get owned every time I enter a room, and get all the sweet loot and then return home.

    Being invincible doesn't mean someone can't have fun. I prefer not dying over dying, you know? This just makes my life easier as we'd get this much experience anyway in the long run. All I want to worry about it gearing up with some awesome gear, heading out and finding those dungeons/castle, owning them Walkers/what-have-you, taking my loot back home, and relaxing for a bit.

  13. Picture in the book actually is correct, it's just as a very unfortunate angle, which hides the fact the 'floor' of the smelter is one layer below the front blocks. Take a close look at the sides.

    Still, that's a bit academic, because it's still a _bad_ picture, even if it's not correct.

    I guess I can't see that it's correct. I just did what looked like the book said and it didn't work, thus thought it was wrong. Oh well. Thanks for clearing that up.

  14. Fiery Aura is a Twilight Forest enchant that acts like a defensive version of Fire Aspect- when you get hit, the enemy gets set on fire.

    Vitality gives a 5% chance per level for damage to be dealt to your hunger bar, not your health bar.

    Exude gives a 4% chance per rank per tick to remove all Wither effects.

    Afterlife gives a 10% chance per level to create a mob egg of the mob killed.

    Soul Tether makes it so that all items enchanted with it stay with you when you respawn.

    Oh thanks! I was looking through all the mods pages but couldn't find anything...

    Do you know about Blood, Soul, Decapitate, Soul Stealer, Focus, Bloodletting, Soulsteal, Sanguinary, Ward, and Reading? :P

    I know that's a lot to ask, but I seriously cannot find the enchantments for any of these dang mods even by going through the wikis, mod threads, etc.

  15. Yea the picture from the book is incorrect and it's not even lit in the picture. Once it's lit (the controller), you know it's working. You basically making a 3x3 seared brick basin and then take what the picture had, but lift the controller/tanks upward.

    Hopefully you figured it out.

  16. Yes and no. Don't try adding mods like Aether or MCMMO to a modpack, let alone a new one. If you freeze on the loading screen then your mods must be conflicting. And since there's already 50+ mods in Hexxit then that's very possible.

    You don't need to host an actual server to add mods, but if you have mods and have your friend join you in LAN, he/she needs to have the same files.

  17. I specifically said this was an exploit, not a bug. I'm not even upset. I discovered this on the first day it was released, and just took my jolly time posting it because I felt like it. What I mean when I say "game-breaking" is that it could potentially ruin other people's experiences on a multiplayer server. For instance, if I have Protection IV, Unbreaking III, Exude IV, Fiery Aura I, Cold Touch I, Respiration III, Aqua Affinity I, Thorns III, Soul Tether I, Vitality IV, and Afterlife III just on my helm, with every enchantment on my other pieces of armour and weapons, I could really do some damage to a server.

    I can confirm that you can in fact do this and he said it's a game-breaking exploit which is exactly what it is. Saying it's game-breaking doesn't mean it will instantly make the game unplayable. Once people know about this they will do some serious damage like the OP stated.

    I have fallen for this exploit unfortunately. All I can say is that "I'm using my resources" even though that's a BS excuse, but hey... I just want to kill things and get loot.

    Off-Topic Question: Do you have any idea what those certain enchantments do? Exude, Fiery Aura, Soul Tether, Vitality, Afterlife, etc? I've been wondering for so long.
