  1. I believe OP is talking about the decorative bricks added by TConstruct, not the Vanilla one that is obtained in the method you described Toki. I haven't been able to figure out how to make it yet, but it's there in NEI (Netherrack Brick 1317:2). Typically, you can equip the Chisel, then use it on a block to convert it, but that doesn't seem to work with Netherrack.

  2. I think the magnetization enchant can cause some wacky stuff with free floating items, especially if there is more than one player in an area with magnetization on. I've had items disappear before, but I bet they are simply clipping through the world or getting flung outside the reach of the magnetism.

  3. Unless you went out of your way to delete Java 6, it's still there, just not used.

    Have you already tried deleting the Java 7 JDK from /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines? In most cases, simply removing this reverts the system default to Java 6, which is still located in the /System/Library/Frameworks folder.

    sudo rm -rf /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_25.jdk

    should do the trick. Run another "java -version" afterwards to be sure.

  4. Wow, another reason not to buy apple.

    How is that helpful? Do you see me in all the "unable to install Hexxit because my antivirus blocked WildCaves" threads gloating that Macs don't have that issue? I use my Mac for far many other things than playing minecraft, and some janky software support from a third party in one application isn't going to sway my decision either way. It's an inconvenience to have to boot into Windows, not a deal breaker.

    The issue here didn't even have anything to do with the operating system of the server or the client, it was some bad data in minecraft, or forge, or the mod pack. Platform agnostic, and indiscriminate.

    Don't make this a platform argument. You've got your choice, and I've got mine. I'm not saying one is better than the other, they each have their strengths and I'm not going to try and convert some stranger on the Internet to my way of thinking.

  5. Disenchanting won't come back for 1.5.2, I can tell you that much.

    What kind of inside information do you have to confirm that? Like I said, one of the Dev team has stated that disenchanting items is a draw for him, so the interest is there. The possibility is there with the latest version of enchanting plus. I'd put my money on it returning, unless there's something else I'm missing.

  6. I noticed your NVidia drivers are hopelessly out of date, is that the latest for the MAC OS?

    nVidia drivers are provided by Apple as part of the OS, there isn't a way to update these on your own. I'm running the latest public release of OS X, and so the drivers are as up to date as they are going to be. Minecraft (and maybe LWJGL) will only support OpenGL 2.1, regardless of what the video card and the drivers are capable of. I hope one day at least OpenGL3 will work in OS X for minecraft, as there is a client-side mod I want to use to capture images for updating the wiki that requires OpenGL3.

  7. Tried everything? It's not impossible, you just have to know how to pull it out by the roots and fix any issues that might cause. Difficult, but not impossible. If you had Java 6 before installing Java 7, might be a simple matter. Did you install the Java 7 JDK, or use some other means to update to Java 7?

    If you can provide the following info, I can help you ensure that Java 6 is used to run techniclauncher and Hexxit.

    1) Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app

    2) Type the following commands, and provide the responses to them:

    java -version

    which java

    ls -la /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines

    ls -la /usr/bin/java

  8. My favorite thing to do got nerfed in 1.0.4/1.0.5, which was raiding dungeons for magical gear, disenchanting it all for massive amounts of XP, then piling on enchantments to my gear to ascend to god status. I completed all the HexxitGear sets and am loving the Thief Set in particular, the speed boost is amazing.

    I have hope disenchanting will return in the near future, Enchanting Plus recently updated to make it at least a configurable option now, as opposed to turning it off with no way to turn it on. The Meteor Gear exploit still exists, but my server is small enough that I trust the people I play with to not take advantage. With any luck, the Meteor Gear exploit will be fixed in later versions as well. I know CanVox is a big supporter of disenchanting stuff too, maybe he can convince sct and KakerMix to update EnchantingPlus for Hexxit 1.0.6, and make the default allow disenchants again.

    Until then, I've been stockpiling magical gear and am learning a lot about the mods I'm not as familiar with. Harken Scythe in particular is taking up a lot of my time, the abilities of the Altar of Blood and Altar of Soul extend past simply augmenting items and isn't documented that well.

    I guess you could say my favorite thing to do in Hexxit now is to write for the official wiki.

  9. they say to NOT edit the wiki without permission so im scared that they will ban my account if i share my knowledge but if you go to chococraft you'll see that i said that black chocobo's give night vision

    What gave you that impression? Read the "how to help" page more closely. The only that that isn't tolerated is vandalism and inappropriate content.

    http://wiki.technicpack.net/How_to_help

    If you write content and it needs work grammatically, or if it needs verification, we might question it, but you don't "need permission" to edit the wiki or add content. All are welcome to contribute, just don't get butthurt if your content gets edited to fit the overall tone of the wiki or edited for accuracy.
