If you post your Minecraft name here, or pm me with it, as long as you've gotten on the server at some point, I can give you permissions even if your not online. (this will have to be the case until I have a few more Mods)

 

Setting up your Minecraft Client to connect:

Because the server is modded, your client will need to have the same mods as the server. Here is how to modify your client correctly.

 

1. Download the FTB launcher - http://www.feed-the-beast.com/

2. Start the FTB launcher and log into your minecraft account (edit button next to "Select Profile" drop-down)

3. Click the "Pack Codes" button in the top right

4. type 17infitech and click "Add"

5. Click on the "3rd Party Packs", scroll down to InfiTech 2 and click on it

5.5 On the dropdown that says "Recommended", change the version to 2.0.10

6. Click "Launch"

7. After the pack has downloaded (it should take some time based on your connection speed) you can close the client, its not quite ready yet.

8. Download Mystcraft - http://xcompwiz.com/2014/10/15/mystcraft-0-11-0/

9. In the FTB Launcher, navigate back to the InfiTech 2 pack and click the "Edit Mod Pack" Button near the top middle

10. Click the "Add Mod" button

11. Navigate to your Mystcraft download (mystcraft-1.7.10-0.11.0.00.jar) and click "Open"

12. Ensure that mystcraft-1.7.10-0.11.0.00 was added to the "Enabled Mods" window, if it wasn't, move it from the "Disabled Mods" window

13. Close the window

 

Congratulations! Your client is now set up to connect to the WoTLabs InfiTech 2 Server! Whenever you want to start the client, just launch the FTB Launcher, if InfiTech 2 isn't already selected, click the "3rd Party Packs" tab and scroll down to the bottom, then launch the pack.

 

PLEASE NOTE!!! This is a HUGE modpack, your client will take a long time (like 3 to 5 minuets) to launch. Please be patient. If your computer isn't very beefy, or you just don't want to use more RAM than needed, you can close the FTB log window.

 

Anybody is able to connect to the server. As of right now, being the start of the server, the spawn is very bare, in fact, its on an island in the ocean. However, just to the east of the spawn is a HUGE Mesa biome, which makes this seed more than worth the somewhat poor spawn.

 

When you connect to the server, you will need to be added to the members group before you are able to interact with the world. A Mod (name prefixed with a blue [M]), or I, will need to promote you to the members group. Mods are listed below. You can however, explore the world at your leisure.

 

I will add permissions and plugins to the server as popular vote dictates, however, I am firm on the stand that this is a survival server, and commands that make the game easier (like teleporting) will stay disabled. There are MANY ways to teleport without commands with this modpack, some are a lot more expensive than others, but rest assured, there are many many ways to travel quickly. (Cheap teleportation was half the reason I installed Mystcraft)

Early Game Tips:

 

First time joining the server:

What should you do when you first enter the server?

I suggest the normal minecraft thing, start by punching a tree. Unfortunately the spawn is on a small Island, and you may not have the luxury of trees. In that case, your going to want to head east into the mesa biome, where you'll find some sparse trees along the tops of the mesa. Once you have some wood, you have a choice to make. Where to build your house. We're about 3 days into the server and it seems that the preferred direction is southeast, towards the closest grassland and trees type biomes. This choice is obviously entirely up to you, but I'm just giving you a heads up if your trying to find, or stay away from, other players.

 

You must find food early, as you can starve to death. Early game food includes a lot of the gardens that you find on the ground while exploring from pam's harvestcraft. However, you should save some of these bits of food. When you stick them in the crafting grid, you get seeds so you can start growing your own version of whatever plant or berry you find.

 

Let there be light!

One of the first things most people have tried to do, is stick a log in the furnace to smelt it, only to find that that recipe doesn't work. There are only 2 ways to make charcoal in this modpack, that is either by a coke oven (early game) or an alloy furnace (mid game). There are however, other ways of making light. First off, if you find a forest, sticky resin from IC2 rubber trees works the exact same way as charcoal does to make a torch. Also, creosote oil (a byproduct of the coke oven) can be crafted with a stick and wool block, for 6 torches.

 

I suggest going for the coke oven, as it is one of the easiest methods in the game. Before you leave the mesa behind (some people just really hate that biome) pick up 2 stacks of sand +2. Then just find a river (that isn't in the mesa biome) and dig up some clay, you only need a stack + 40, which is pretty easy since each clay block drops 4 clay. 

 

Here is the coke oven block recipe, you need 26 blocks of it to make the furnace (3x3 base, 3x3 middle with center open, 3x3 top)

How GregTech Pipes Work:

 

An In Depth Look at GregTech Ore Spawning:

 

* One of the best methods to find ore veins is to mark off a grid on your full size map (press "J" for the map) by using waypoints (flag icon).  Place a waypoint on the grid lines, which designate the borders of the chunks on every 3rd corner in a grid pattern and mark them as "dig" or some such in the waypoint editor.  Then grab a few picks, a couple stacks of ladders, and some torches and go to the "dig" waypoint and dig a 1x2 shaft down until you, hopefully, hit some sort of ore vein.  Be careful when digging down so you don't screw up and drop into a chasm or lava, thus the reason for a 1x2 shaft and not just digging straight down in a single hole.  Once you find ore you can go into the map and edit the waypoint from "dig" to the type of ore vein you found.  If it's ore you can use right a way, have at it.  If it's something you can't process yet just mark it, and climb back out to do the next hole.  The reason this method works well is because of the way GregTech distributes ore.  Basically each 3x3 chunk block will have some type of ore vein in it of random type and varying height.  Once you find ore, depending on the type of ore you find and how densely distributed it is you can either branch mine it (diamond ore for example is sparse) or strip mine it (a copper mine is usually so packed with ore that branch mining becomes futile, just take it all).  For an example of this process see

 

NEI (Not Enough Items) - Quickly find crafting recipes for any of the mods in the game

* NEI is critical to using this modpack as most if not all of the crafting recipes for GregTech are not published on a wiki.  Learn to use NEI to craft.  The "U" and "R" keys are your friend for sure!  If you find an item and are wondering what you can make from it highlight the item in your inventory or in a crafting table and press U on your keyboard.  You'll be presented with all the items that can be crafted or manufactured with that resource.  If you find an item and want to learn how to craft it highlight it and press R to get recipes for that item.

 

 

Thaumcraft - Adds magic to MineCraft

* FTB Wiki

 

MythCraft

* MythCraft is only partially enabled on the server.  The creation of Ages is disabled because they are buggy and a huge load on the server.  We do have linking books and linking portals.  These are the easiest form of long distance travel on the server, but require you to have a conduit through another world  (such as the Nether or End) to reach your destination.  To work with linking books you'll want to start collecting these things: leather, ink sacs, sugarcane (paper), and glass bottles.  You'll need to build an ink mixing station as well.  If you need assistance with linking books ask me or Android.  

IndustrialCraft 2 (IC2)

 

RailCraft - Adds expansion to trains, also many other functions like steam boilers that work with GregTech

* FTB Wiki

* RailCraft has one of the better boilers in the game, and it can also run off creosote from your coke ovens.  Also the RT iron tank is a great buffer for your steam systems and can be expanded for more capacity easily.

 

 

Secondary Mods

Applied Energetics 2 (AE2) - This allows you to create storage networks to store large amounts of stuff in smaller spaces.  Also the Quartz Grinder from this mod is handy in the early game for processing ore into dust (and sometimes getting extra dust per ore).

 

BuildCraft - BuildCraft adds pipes, quarries, auto-crafting, engines and more.

 

Forestry - Expands upon trees, adds bees and beekeeping, also backpacks.

 

Binnie Mods - Binnie Mods expands the Forestry Mod and allows you to breed bees, trees, and other plants.

 

Carpenter's Blocks - Lets you make things like obsidian stairs.

 

Chisel 2 -

 

Iron Chests - Lets you build higher capacity chests that take up only a single block space.

 

Steve's Workshop - Build a production table that is multiple functions (craft/furnace/etc) and is VERY flexible.

 

JABBA - Better Barrels let you store a lot of one type of item.

 

 

Basic Getting Started Steps

Here's a basic getting started guide, but you really should read the Gregtech Survival Guide instead.

1. Pick a direction and leave spawn during daylight.  You need food, shelter, and wood first and foremost.  Basic Minecraft stuff to start with such as make a wooden pick from trees.  
2. Locate a suitable base of operations.  Build a shelter.  Things to start acquiring: food, wood, rubber tree sap/sapplings, clay, sand.  Setting up a farm and tree farm is pretty key to do early.  You'll need food so you don't starve and you'll always be low on wood for fuel and tools.  Try to get at least a few rubber trees growing near your base too, you'll need them for both torches and rubber.
3. Build a coke furnace using clay bricks and sand.  Burn wood in it to get charcoal.  Use charcoal for fuel for your basic furnace and more importantly torches.
4. Start looking for copper and tin.  Tin you'll find up high (y80+ or so), find tall mountains and look for exposed tin.  Copper will be down at around y20 or so.  Grab any small ores you find along the way, especially small iron as you'll need an iron pick soon.  Pyrite can also be mined with stone picks and smelted into iron.  Pick up any AE2 crystals you find also as you can use them to make a quartz grinder.
5. Basic tools: you need a hammer and file to get started, but will need more later.  I also can't recommend the Production Table from Steve's workshop enough as it's a combo crafting table and furnace and can be upgraded, very fuel efficient for early game stuff.  This will take some iron to make though.  You'll also want a cauldron sooner than later for purifying ore dust.
6. Smelt your first bronze ingot.  The AE2 quartz grinder is very helpful here, but you can use a hammer also for making dusts. If you don't have a cauldron yet you need to directly smelt the copper ore and tin ore in your furnace to get ingots, then grind/smash those to dust.  In your crafting table you put 3 copper dust and 1 tin dust to make a bronze dust.  Smelt the bronze dust into an ingot.  If you have an AE2 grinder and cauldron you can grind the copper/tin ore and wash it in a cauldron.  This gives a better yield.
7. Make a bronze boiler.  Always fill it with water first before you put fuel in it!!!  If you fire it up without water it will explode.  You need at least one bucket.  Put down an infinite water source near your boiler/cauldron.  Now make more bronze for bronze pipes and the next machines.
8. More bronze machines: Alloy Smelter (make bronze without turning it to dust first, can also be used later with a mold to make rubber sheets for wiring), Forge Hammer (less wear and tear on your hammer tool), Extractor (required to turn rubber sap into rubber), Compressor (iron blocks).  If you can find 2 diamonds you'll also want a Macerator.  You might want to look into a steam buffer tank too.  The AE2 fluid tank works, but the RailCraft iron tank is better and more expandable as your operation grows.  
9. Now make even more bronze.   A lot more. You need a bronze blast furnace to make steel.  While doing all this you might want a few more coke ovens so you can make coal coke and more charcoal.  You can use BuildCraft pipes, pumps, and tanks to evacuate the creosote from your coke furnaces.  You can also build a RailCraft boiler that runs on creosote to generate more steam.  You want your blast furnace smelting steel non-stop.  You'll also want to be locating more ore veins.  Cobalt is an especially nice find early in the game as you can use this to make Level 3 picks that will mine diamonds.  You can also use some Thaumcraft picks to acquire higher level ores but they have very low durability.  By this time your tree farm should be huge, your crops should be plentiful, and you ought to at least have a cow farm if not sheep and chicken also.  You need TONS of wood, lots of leather, and you'll be hungry all the time.  If you haven't already you might want to be dabbling in MystCraft books/portals.  You'll probably need a few JABBA barrels to hold all your cobble/redstone/charcoal/etc.  If you haven't already set up a Production Table and a Working Table.  They're super handy as you start producing more components and more complex machines as you hit the:
10. Electrical Age.  Now you've got a stack of steel.  You've got multiple steam boilers.  You've got a nice sized steam tank.  Build a steam turbine and start making wires.  You want a plate bender and wire mill first.  Next I built a Fluid Extractor and Assembler to make circuits easier.  And here's the point where I'm at today as of Feb 11th.  Android is also in this general ballpark, but he's also got an automatic IC2 tree farm, dozens of coke furnaces all piped with inputs and outputs, and an iron golem farm.
11. Next Steps: electrolyzer, centrifuge,canner machine, and lathe. The first 3 will be used to make batteries so we can install a battery buffer. The battery buffers will also allow us to step up our amps from 1 to 2 for the couple of LV machines that require 2 amps instead of 1. Note that you need 4x wire for 2 amp machines!!! Once we can reliably build batteries it's time to turn out some more turbines so we can work towards an Electronic Blast Furnace. Steel really is the largest bottleneck here. You might want to consider adding additional Bronze Blast Furnaces to up your steel production. Bronze Blast Furnaces are multi-block structures and can share walls to save on bronze.

Woot! Ill come bother you guys in six or so hours.

[Spartan96 1,026]

Awesome. Lets hope garlicfries doesn't DDOS it

Lets face it , only garlic and shrek ruin things.

[Flaksmith 934]

What about the mystcraft client config? You mentioned in the other thread that you have some mystcraft things disabled, and IIRC in the past if the client and server config files didn't match you would be auto-kicked or your game would crash.

[cheesyhoney 293]

Lets face it , only garlic and shrek ruin things.

had ti get DDOS protection on our ts server

also pin pls

[Inciatus 1,124]

Maybe ban garlic fries from the server?

Question for Android if you install the mods will that mess up any of your existing vanilla worlds? Thanks.

[Inciatus 1,124]

Question for Android if you install the mods will that mess up any of your existing vanilla worlds? Thanks.

Im not sure, nor am I android, but in the oast if these mods count as resource packs you can create a new profile and it will work fine. It might work fine normally anyway.

My answer wasnt helpful at all.

[RC_Tank 467]

Sounds like it'll be a lot of fun -- would appreciate it if you could forgive/ignore my Minecraft name (terrible with names), I hate it so much 

 

I'll probably swing by later today, looking forward to it 

[Shackram 4,285]

Question for Android if you install the mods will that mess up any of your existing vanilla worlds? Thanks.

 

Not unless you mistakenly open the world while running the modpack.

 

But that shouldn't happen because the modpack makes a separate install for each mod, so it won't see your current vanilla worlds or word of another modpack.

[Dlur 2,350]

See you in 3 hours or so.  I am the excite!@111

Ok that's great, thanks. And Inciatus don't worry its the thought that counts

I don't know a lot of minecraft, but my brother seems fond of it and it looks quite interesting to build your stuff to me as well.

 

Is there any way to get a free account or some kind of invite a friend bonus?

Not that I know of. There is a trial. Its is a "three day trial" as in an hour of play I think. Not sure if you can do multiplayer with it though.

What does it cost now anyway? When I bought it years ago was like $9, when it was still 'Beta', can't check here since its blocked

[cheesyhoney 293]

Its pretty expensive. I might be able to lend someone an account

[Inciatus 1,124]

Pretty sure it is more than that. I think it is 20-25 now.

[cheesyhoney 293]

its 26.95.  actually could ask my friend to lend me some accounts for you guys use, he has like 5 that he collected from other people when the stopped playing. he has since stopped playing, but still has the accounts

[UnusualMedic 1,472]

AAaahhhhh Minecraft. I remember in Alpha 1.2 when I started.... God it was empty......

I could lend you my friends old account if you want, he doesn't play it anymore so there's no problem, heck, you can use it whenever you want 

 

Send me a PM if you're interested and in the meantime I'll see if I wrote the password down anywhere
