I've ran into this problem with MCEdit myself. I even had a Pistonwood forest after one edit. I suspect this may be best solved by submitting a bug report to MCEdit.

zenmender: It's usually polite to read everything posted before you add to a thread. Or did you not read Cheapshot's rant as well? Edit: Or what you posted as well for that matter. If something isn't stable yet, maybe that's why it hasn't been updated? Perhaps just maybe when it DOES become stable we'll see Tekkit 4? Tekkit is a complicated monster culminating from many diverse moddding teams for Minecraft. ALL the parts have to be updated for it to move forward, which is why it's been so long since the last update for 'classic'.

I really suggest using MultiMC if you're running a small customized server. It helps the client side part of the distribution.

Technic: 7 letters. Better Than Technic: 17 letters, 3 spaces. Somehow, I think it would be more beneficial to compare to the 1.2.5 dev build at the moment, since it's a closer comparison. Does BTT have a dev build cycle of some sort we can be even more even with? Are we counting Buildcraft and Redpower the same number of times on both sides? I don't really think it's worth counting every single subpiece of a mod as separate mods, even if that skewers those numbers further one way or the other. Also, how "big" are these mods? A mod that just adds five new flowers is still a mod, but Technic probably wouldn't bother with something that minor unless they were some sort of laser-shooting death flowers or something. Oh, or had creeper faces. Ultimately, tricky to compare a basic number like that, especially if both packs have the same "big mods" and one adds in a bunch of smaller, useless or boring mods. (Which in turn is a subjective thing as well.) Same seed/stuff going on nearby? Do both mod packs have the same mods that can cause a lot of FPS dropping installed, or BTT dropping some of the laggier mods? +1 Hellen Keller point for not reading stickies. So, the only important parts in your summary above involves the number of mods and FPS, which means nothing else you stated was important enough to include in your summary. Personally, I think a more useful comparison is the "feature list" table you see in a lot of product comparisons on corporate websites. I would write a four column table with the name of the mod, the version for each mod pack (or a nice big red Not Included) and a final column for a description of what that mod does, in a one sentence summary. This would allow a person new to these mods the ability to quickly figure out which set of mods better suits their playstyle while at the same time helping everyone discover new mods they may not have heard of AND helping your original target audience of people find which they like better.

Well, Diablo DOES use a lot of fire based abilities...

You can tune a computer, but you can't tune a fish.

Actually, I find that my carbon footprint has gone down by orders of magnitude ever since I switched from coal-powered furnaces to solar panels and geothermal generators. Edit: Of course, there are plenty of new options for shooting wild animals with firearms in Technic/Tekkit as well. So, maybe Technic is bipartisan?

A question to the OP... do you have any suggestions on how to fix any of the current issues with the dev build? Have you playtested it at all and found any severe problems and know how to fix them?

...what is this? CheapShot, we told you no getting drunk and impregnating the hookers. Now we have a Cheap Jr!

There are fake users for [RedPower] [buildcraft] [industrialCraft] and [Forestry]. You need to give them build permission.

C-C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!!

Consulting my records, it appears your ban reason was due to touching yourself at night.

You're very bad at reading rules or very good about not caring if you get banned. I'm not sure which.

Have you tried just giving '[ComputerCraft]' permissions? I didn't have to do specific turtle users. EDIT: If you're using PermissionsEx, you can track down permissoins blocking problems by using /pex toggle debug to make it start explicitly showing all permissions checks anything does in the server log. Toggle it on, poke the turtle, toggle it off. May need to edit the log in text editor to stare at it if your server's pretty busy.

I was using Essentials on my server before we went Tekkit and have had no problems with it handling being in a modded environment.

SpoutPlugin works? Last time I tried letting it exist with Tekkit, SpoutPlugin crashed my client when I tried to place an IC2 machine (one of the ID 250 ones specifically, any of them).

I use Essentials just fine. Just make sure you're using a version of it designed for the build of CraftBukkit that Tekkit is using (b1938 I think? It's 1.1R4) I've gotten used to not updating plugins unless something is broken, since it will often cause said breakage. If Essentials itself is refusing to load, I would recommend setting up a directly on your local machine with a fresh Tekkit install and throwing Essentials and whatever permissions system you're using on it and nothing else. Also, note that Tekkit ships with CommandBook by default. They do similar things, so you might want to remove or use that instead.

If you install Java, it does not remove old versions. You can manually control the version it is using under Windows by going to the Control Panel and opening the Java icon there. Go to the "Java" tab, then click "View..." (under Java Runtime Environment Settings). This will show the versions of Java installed to your machine. If you have some programs that still require a different version of Java, I would recommend not removing old versions, but instead controlling what applications use each. You can also simply uncheck Enabled for your old versions if you are unsure about removing them. Just make sure to leave the 1.7 version enabled for Minecraft's server.

IIRC, the piston mod getting baselined was actually a voluntary thing the guy asked for and Jeb agreed to do.

Insert advertisement for RedPower tubes here. Now with 90% fewer server crashes.

Until there's an output slot count upgrade chip, AM still have a feature that normal machines can't ever get. Go put a sapling in an extractor and tell me when it finishes the whole stack. Without removing rubber part way through. Or macerate a whole stack of ore without pulling dust out. Sure, we have tubes. But especially early, I don't have them yet. Also, argh at the aforementioned 8000 EU/cycle. :(

RM Katar does the most, although I'm unsure whether it does more than an RM Sword. Nano saber requires recharging, but even active it wasn't hitting an ender dragon for as much when I tested it.
