GiantCaller

I have made this thread wrong. I didn't have intentions for this to be something that belongs on a wiki, but a guide for new players. I'll make changes to the thread to make it more like a set of tips instead of some wiki post. I'll be sure to add the changes. What I meant about the cleaver is that most of the damage is absorbed by armor, but I'll add something about that. Also, 42 hearts? O_o

By the way, this thread is from memory. My computer has become corrupt to the point where my technic won't let me play AotBT. ( ;_; ) I have posted something on the tracker and hope to get this problem fixed. I still hope this thread helps new players advance in the mod pack .

Intro: Attack of the B-Team is a mod pack that is (of course) on the Technic Launcher that gives the player a LOT of new things to do and so many goals to complete. Unlike some 'packs that are centered around one idea and most of what you do revolves around that idea, AotBT has mods that give the mod pack multiple ideas. You may want to go to space and set up giant moon colonies and maybe even make your own death star. You may want to become the ultimate mutant, with all the abilities you can imagine. You may even want to become death himself! Whatever you want to do, you can do it in this mod pack. Needless to say, this is one of my favorite mod packs in Minecraft. I've tried playing this pack many times and I've learned the mods well. I made this thread to help new players understand the mod pack so that they can take advantage of it all to help them be the best out of every player. How this guide works: The way this thread works is that I will cover multiple mods that are useful in the 'pack, with a tutorial of what you can do with that mod and how the mod can assist you. Here's an example: The Best Mod - Let's you be best This mod it useful with the bestness you can best with. Best. For this mod, some of the things you'll need is: -Proness -Being cool -Having no life -Spending 9 hours on video games So, you have to take all the stuff and then you combine them into a sandwich and then you eat it and then you're the best. Useful for: -PVP- You can stare at people and they give you their money. -PVE- Zombies explode when they see you. The Actual Tutorial Tinkers' Construct This mod is useful because of the tools provided, the ease of ore multiplication, and alloy creation. For start this mod off, you need: -Tons of clay -Tons of sand -Tons of gravel To help you get into this mod, you should put your first house near a body of water so you have a close resource of clay and sand, two important things in the mod. To start the mod, you need to make the following things: -A smeltery set- A smeltery is a player-built structure made of seared bricks. The structure, in detail, is made from: 18 seared brick blocks 1 Smeltery Controller 1 Seared Tank 1 Drain 1 Faucet 1 Casting Table The smeltery is made in this shape: + + + Key: + + +: Seared Brick + + I: Drain =I + =: Faucet + [] 0 T: Casting Table []: Smeltery Controller 0: Seared Tank Floor below that level of smeltery is as follows: + + + + + + T + + + Once you complete the shape, you must put lava into the tank. With the smeltery fully set up, you can add ores into it via the controller. The smeltery cooks slowly, but it gets double metal from ores. The tier 1 smeltery can only cook 9 ore at a time. However, you can upgrade the smeltery by adding seared bricks on top the smeltery, keeping the shape. -A stencil table -A part builder -A tool forge/builder To start making the amazing tools, you need the parts. The first thing you need to make the tools is a stencil of the parts. Put a wooden stencil into the stencil table and browse thru the stencils until you find the one for the part you need. Use this cast at the part builder with a basic item, like wood, bones, or stone to make the part. You cannot do this with metals like iron or aluminum, you must use a cast at a smeltery with the metal (explained later). When you have all the parts you need, select the tool in the tool forge, put the parts in, name it if you wish, then take it out of the tool forge. The tools you can make are as follows: Broad Sword: Moderate damage sword with normal swing speed. The sword also features a block that cuts damage from enemies in half. Long Sword: Similar to the BroadSword, other than it cannot block, but instead can let you lunge forward in the air. Rapier: Very small damage sword, but with faster swing speed and armor piercing properties. Instead of blocking, this sword lets you back pedal (jump backwards). This sword is my personal choice for PVP, since it ignores armor and does slightly more damage per hit against an enemy with the best armor than a Cleaver (mentioned below), and can hit extremely fast. It's low damage is weak against mobs, but very useful against a player. Cleaver: This sword does VERY high damage with slow swing speed. The sword can block, but it is not as good as the Broad Sword. This sword is useful against mobs, with the high power it can deal with a creeper in two, if not one, slice. This sword is weak against players since their armor can protect against the cleaver's damage, and the slow swing gives you a disadvantage in combat. It's high damage is useful against mobs, but is weak against players. Dagger: A small blade with low damage and somewhat fast swing speed. You can throw daggers at enemies as a throwing knife, meaning it is suggested to make multiple daggers with medium-grade metals, like iron or aluminum. Pickaxe: Your regular pickaxe! Lets you mine stuff at a standard speed. Hammer: Slightly slower than the pick, the Hammer can mine in a 3x3 area for faster area clearing. Useful for making underground rooms. Shovel: Your regular shovel! Lets you dig up dirt, sand, clay, gravel, etc. Excavator: A shovel that digs in a 3x3 area. Hachet: Your regular axe! Lets you chop wood quickly. Lumber Axe: An axe that can fell any size tree! Allows easy tree harvesting. Waraxe: A two sided axe with the abilities of: felling small trees, mining wood in a 3x3 area, and getting a speed and damage buff by holding right click. More useful when paired with a high-tier Cleaver, allowing for charged attacks that can instantly kill some mobs. Frying Pan: Somewhat poweful melee attack, with the ability to be placed down and can cook food on the spot. Chisel: Crafting tool that can turn some items into their chiseled versions with other versions if you chisel the block multiple times. The chisel can be used as an alternative to cooking grout to make seared bricks by chiseling seared stone (stone in a smeltery). These tools are special, but are only made of things like flint, wood, and other weak materials. To make full use of the mod, you must turn to your smeltery. First thing you need in making metal tools is a cast. To make a cast, you must put a pre made part down onto a casting table, then pour gold or aluminum brass onto the part to make a cast shaped in the outline of the part. Pour the selected metal into the cast to make the part. There are two special metal alloys that are very useful in these tools: Alumite and Manyullan. Alumite is an alloy that is just about as powerful as diamonds, other than the pick can't mine obsidian. Alumite is made when iron, aluminum, and obsidian and inside a furnace at the right numbers. This pink alloy can mine the two ores added to the Nether: Cobalt and Ardite. These two nether ores combine to make the next best ore, Manyullan. This purple allows can mine obsidian, has a high speed, and is one of the best alloys for swords. So you have the best metals in the mod, you feel at the top of the world. But it's not over. You can improve your tools further using tool modifications. Each tool starts off with a certain amount of modification slots, but can be improved by using paper somewhere in the tool and using a gold block with a diamond to add a modifier. This also works with a nether star. Modifications can improve your tools tremendously, and most are as follows: Moss: Adding a ball of moss (9 mossy cobble) to the tool makes the tool seem to be "alive", giving it the ability to rebuild it's durability over time. Piston: Gives swords more knockback. Can be put on multiple times for more effect. Redstone: Gives block breaking tools faster speed. Can be put on multiple times for more effect. Lapis Lazuli: Gives luck and fortune to tools. Can be put on multiple times for more effect. Silky Gem: Gives silk touch to block breaking tools. Obsidian and Ender Pearl: Gives swords an extremely high chance to drop the enemies' head. Can be combined with Minefactory Reloaded's Auto Spawner to farm for wither heads for use with Witchery and getting nether stars from the wither. Quartz: Gives swords sharpness. Can be put on multiple times for more effect. This mod lets assists you with just about everything. From melee fighting to mining to multiplying ores, this mod lets you be advanced in it. More mods will be added to this guide over time. If I missed anything very useful in a mod, wrote incorrect information, or want me to post a certain mod, reply whatever it is on this thread.

So today, I tried to start a private Voltz server so I can play with my friends. However, when I tried running the batch file, it gave me some text, then stopped at "Press any key to continue." If I pressed something, the command screen closes. The batch also spawned this note with the following in it: 2014-08-25 22:34:34 [iNFO] [ForgeModLoader] Forge Mod Loader version 5.2.23.737 for Minecraft 1.5.2 loading 2014-08-25 22:34:34 [iNFO] [ForgeModLoader] Java is Java HotSpot 64-Bit Server VM, version 1.8.0_11, running on Windows 8.1:amd64:6.3, installed at C:Program FilesJavajre8 2014-08-25 22:34:34 [FINE] [ForgeModLoader] Java classpath at launch is Voltz.jar 2014-08-25 22:34:34 [FINE] [ForgeModLoader] Java library path at launch is C:WINDOWSsystem32;C:WINDOWSSunJavabin;C:WINDOWSsystem32;C:WINDOWS;C:Program Files (x86)NVIDIA CorporationPhysXCommon;c:Program Files (x86)InteliCLS Client;c:Program FilesInteliCLS Client;C:WINDOWSsystem32;C:WINDOWS;C:WINDOWSSystem32Wbem;C:WINDOWSSystem32WindowsPowerShellv1.0;C:Program FilesIntelIntel® Management Engine ComponentsDAL;C:Program FilesIntelIntel® Management Engine ComponentsIPT;C:Program Files (x86)IntelIntel® Management Engine ComponentsDAL;C:Program Files (x86)IntelIntel® Management Engine ComponentsIPT;C:Program Files (x86)IntelOpenCL SDK2.0binx86;C:Program Files (x86)IntelOpenCL SDK2.0binx64;C:Program Files (x86)Windows LiveShared;. 2014-08-25 22:34:34 [FINE] [ForgeModLoader] Enabling runtime deobfuscation 2014-08-25 22:34:34 [WARNING] [ForgeModLoader] The coremod codechicken.core.asm.CodeChickenCorePlugin does not have a MCVersion annotation, it may cause issues with this version of Minecraft 2014-08-25 22:34:34 [WARNING] [ForgeModLoader] The coremod cofh.asm.CoFHPlugin does not have a MCVersion annotation, it may cause issues with this version of Minecraft 2014-08-25 22:34:34 [WARNING] [ForgeModLoader] The coremod micdoodle8.mods.galacticraft.asm.GalacticraftPlugin does not have a MCVersion annotation, it may cause issues with this version of Minecraft 2014-08-25 22:34:34 [WARNING] [ForgeModLoader] The coremod mods.immibis.microblocks.coremod.MicroblocksCoreMod does not have a MCVersion annotation, it may cause issues with this version of Minecraft 2014-08-25 22:34:34 [WARNING] [ForgeModLoader] The coremod codechicken.nei.asm.NEICorePlugin does not have a MCVersion annotation, it may cause issues with this version of Minecraft 2014-08-25 22:34:34 [FINE] [ForgeModLoader] The coremod powercrystals.core.CoreLoader requested minecraft version 1.5.2 and minecraft is 1.5.2.

to get the right Java, but the same doesn't work for this, so I don't know how to fix this. Anyone know?

Just found out I had the 32-bit java, not the 64-bit. Anyone who searched the internet like me, there you go.

Well now, me too. Dunno what's goin on with the server

A while back, I made a server on Attack of the B-team. To start the server, I ran the file minecraft_server.1.6.4. The server started, but the morph mod didn't work. When I pressed bracket, there was the black box, but it was empty. So I looked around the internet and found out you need to run the launch.bat file. Here's what came up: C:Users(My computer's user name)DesktopAttack of the B-Team Server>java -Xmx3G -Xmx2G -jar Bteam.jar nogui 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. C:Users(My computer's user name)DesktopAttack of the B-Team Server>pause Press any key to continue . . . When I pressed a button, the window closes. I've tried changing the -Xmx3G to -Xmx2G, but still nothing works. I'm new to server making and hosting, so if there is a way to get the .bat file running correctly, please tell me.

I have the same problem, but i can't run the bat folder. I'm guessing my java is somehow installed wrong or something? This is the message i get before i click 'any key' and the window closes: C;Users(my computer user name)DesktopAttack of the B-Team>java -Xmx3g -Xms2g -jar BTeam.jar nogui 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. C:Users(my computer user nameDesktopAttack of the B-Team Server>pause Press any key to continue . . . Do i need to move my java to some place or what do i do?

I'm signing my friend up. Hope you whitelist. IGN: cashrabbit Youtube: Hes not gonna record.

YUS! Been waitin' a while and its here. No ones' on, but that's k.

To all of you who applied from April 11th to now, you prob won't be accepted until tomorrow.

Ye, can u help

Can't connect to the server, while pro says he can :l. Any help? Ima pm nath, let him know what's going on.

Not a whole bunch of people are on nowadays, makes meh sad. :l On spring break, got tons of time on my hands, only problem is that the server is down. D: Any idea when it'll be up again?
