I still see Technic items in the inventory but there are none present in the world. (Which killed me. Note to self, don't make treehouse floor of marble...) Also, I'd turned mocreatures off and it's back on again. Even if you fix this bug it looks as if I have to start over, which is going to be a pain.

Err, wow. This is -- and I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't already know -- bloody amazing. The creators are *seriously* selling themselves short on their website by not explaining what this does and how it works. It's an *astonishingly* slick bit of UI design and coding. I especially love how it completely fails to effect anything about your existing Minecraft. I mean, I come from Linux. I know software written by people who plan to give it away for free. Based, admittedly, only on a quick play with Voxelbox -- this puts a lot of Linux FOSS software to shame. Of course, it's based on the amazing Minecraft, but still.

1) So this *isn't* a program to mod my Minecraft, like Modloader was supposed to do? It's a replacement for the Minecraft menu? Aha. Thank you. Somewhere on the site it should really explain that.

I mean, I've downloaded the mod launcher. It runs. It all looks damn slick and workable; I'm impressed. I honestly didn't think I would be able to play Tekkit under Linux. This looks good. Now, I could press buttons at random and see what happens -- and maybe screw up Minecraft. But, on the whole, I'd rather there was a page somewhere I could read that told me what to expect and what to do? Apologies if there is one and for some reason I've missed it. Some very basic questions: 1) Why on earth does the mod loader want my Minecraft login details? 2) What, actually, do the different mod packs do? (It's very cute to have the same description for each on your website, but not terribly helpful. Am I supposed to be able to click on them to get more information? Because, I can't.) 3) Thanks to the Yogscast I do, in fact, have a vague idea what Tekkit is. So, I'd like to try that. Definitely SMP, so, Tekkit not Technic. Presumably I need to run the modloader against my server machine? Do I also need to run it against the client? Are there any instructions for doing this? Will it play nice with existing Bukket plugins, or do I have to start over? Again, sorry if I've missed the glaringly obvious page somewhere that explains all this. I really can't find it.
