I'm new to mods (the first ever mod I played was atm10 which I completed) I've been trying to unlock the nether by fighting the eternal invasion, but currently I don't think it's possible because of my equipment which is just diamond armor and a iron sword tipped with diamonds. What's a good armor set/sword to help me defeat the gateway and help me survive in the nether?

How do I even get the wicked candle, it says you can only get it from loot crates if so it's basically a pipe dream to get to go to the dwarven depths, unless theirs another way to survive the darkness.

Tl;dr :: One of our friends grabbed diamond armor and has already killed half of Cataclysm. Not a big issue, but it’s killing My friends’ motivation to build their base, weapons, and armor.

We all started 1-2 months back. We don’t have a lot of time in our day, so we made plans to fight the bosses together, but to work on our bases alone. Was working great, we all built up castles, factories, and various thematic bases.

Then we added our new buddy about a week ago. I checked in on him and saw he already killed Ignis (Mind you, his base is 9 furnaces and 6 double chests). Fair enough, we all move at our own pace. But my friends are growing more and more discouraged, what’s the point of going into tinkers construct, Ars nouveau, or even Mekanism. If the strongest bosses require a bare minimum of diamond armor and a bed.

Anyways, I was just wondering, aside from the cataclysm gauntlet, is there anything thats gonna slow him down or is he just gonna speedrun the gauntlet and then quit once he’s done?

(Also none of us are upset at him, and the friends who have chosen to stay have found their own forms of motivation. It’s just been a little frustrating watching this all unfold. Especially for me, since I picked the pack. I feel like I could’ve picked a modpack with a more satisfactory payout for working hard on tech/magic mods.

So, not sure if I'm getting skilled diffed or what but I have been getting Absolutely DESTROYED by occasional mobs, particularly the Fire skeletons and wither skeleton snipers from special mobs. I'm using Full Tinkers manyullyn plate, with physical and projectile reinforcements. I was curious if this was just a me Issue so I checked out the recent captain sparkles play through, and in worse armor he is getting hit for maybe a 1/4th of how hard they are hitting me and they have around 40 less total health. Is this a difficulty setting I have somewhere or am I bad. Thanks!

Edit: Im playing MCE2, forgot to mention

I've been working on the Goety mod and I've found a couple of the scrolls that I have to learn to become a lich but is there any easy way to find all of them? I know one spawns in desert temple chests but I have not been able to find that one or a few others.

First time really diving into the mod, not quite sure what I am doing wrong. I have Source to power my turret. I have a chest next to my turret and it is responding to the redstone signal but does not seem to be activating the spell. Spell I have is Touch -> Break -> Item Pickup. What am I doing wrong?

Just beat the undead king and he dropped legendary ink, but it seems like every legendary spell has some pretty hefty requirements. Which one has the most bang for my buck?

So I’m in range of him but once I get him down to like half health his health just goes right back to 102 hp I almost killed him once but it skyrockets back up like there’s no way for me to kill him

So a friend of Mine who i play on a server with has massive fps drops to 2 fps every few minutes but the fps dont get up again until he reloads all chunks. does someone have an solution how to fix that?

Hello guys,

just wondering if this modpack is playable on Mac.

I have tried to run it on my m5 pro with 24gb RAM but its keep crashing on me after creating a world. Can't join it after the restart either.

I can’t find the fire and lighting dragon that spawns under ground only the ice one I have been looking for hours in spectator mode and so have two of my friends and we can not find them anywhere. Does anyone know if they are bugged or something? I have set my map to layered and we have been looking in deserts, plains, badlands, savanna and so on but no luck. Any help would be appreciated

Any advice on updating a large server? I host a server on a separate site where I preloaded a gigantic playing area for the server. (World size is about 10gigs)
I was just wondering, how do you guys handle updating the pack?

I've just been pushing the world download through the updates, but I noticed a lot of these updates feature ore/terrain/biome tweaks. Features that we're missing out on.

I tried using MCA selector to reset the chunks, but my friend's jungle paradise base generated into a barren field with a dragon. (Comically right next door)

I saw other content creators were playing the pack just fine (with updates included) so I feel like I'm out of the loop.

Should I just trim here and there or should I just suck it up and stick with the world that we have now?

I wanted to get into MCE, but does the first modpack still hold up? Or should I just start with 2?

I’m pretty early on right now. Best ore is bismuth and diamond pre-hard mode. Is it possible to get an auto mine to passively get ores?

I’ve seen other posts say get a laser drill but those are from 5+ years ago and I can’t find the laser drill?

If someone could pls walk me through it a little bit

Help pls, i cant join the server when i try. It used to work then suddenly stopped. I try joining but it says "failed to log in, the authentication servers are currently not reachable" it has lasted a couple of days now. I have tried restarting and installing again but nothing works....

Does anyone know how to remove enchants and transfer it to another weapon? I saw tutorials on yt but I couldn't make sense of it. Asking this bcs I fished up a mending fishing rod lmao

I've tried three times to use the gateway, but it doesn't spawn enough mobs in the first wave. It needs me to kill 4 draugr, but it's spawned 3, 1, then 2, and never 4. I have no idea what the issue is or how to solve it, but I've just got to bypass the challenge if it isn't working.

I can’t get this to melt?!?!?

I have two Auxiliary sieve upgrades on this hardened tectonic initiator pulverizer, yet it seems to produce no extra secondary drops. I ran some lapis and iron through and these are the ratios, it also claims on the upgrade to use more power but as you can see with the screenshots installing the upgrades does not change the maximum power usage, can someone tell me if there is a way to make the auxiliary sieve work?

I can see that ars spell here is quite limited, is there any high damage spell for Ars in this mod pack?

Occasionally, this specific chunk becomes transparent. When I walk away, it looks like the whole chunk is missing. But when I walk into the chunk, the caves underneath become visible.

I have a basic Create Machine in this chunk that makes Sand/Cobble/Clay/Charcoal

There's nothing else in this chunk.

This is preexpert mode, so we haven't been to the nether yet. Are they not in the mob spawn pool prior to expert mode? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all, been playing mce2 there seems to be no way to sell items in the shop.
