Jav0330's Auto Grape Farm!

Jav0330 has built himself a fully automatic grape farm!


Using a compact double hopper timer the grapes are harvested 
and collected automatically every 4 minutes and 58 seconds,
a simple yet very effective design!

4000 Runs!

The modpack hit 4000 runs today!

That's an average of around 500 per month since its launch!


Thanks again to everyone who has played so far and especially those that have made contributions towards its development and/or the server hosting fees!

Tatankore's Solo Ghast Hunt

With the Flight Cube now craftable Tatankore decided to go 
Ghast hunting so he could craft a few... 


Packing a few HopAndPop parachutes is always helpful!


An hour or so later he ended up with quite the haul...


Not bad at all!

Danger Race Changes & Minigames Tweak

The Danger Race minigame has been updated based on player feedback..
  • The minimum number of players has been lowered from 4 to 2.
  • The course has been made a bit more difficult, with more added danger!
I've also lowered the countdown for all minigames to get you into the action faster, the player join timer is still 10 seconds but the start timer is now 3 seconds rather than 5!

Casino Slot Name Changes

The Casino Slots at spawn have been renamed...

MobSlot >> Mobs-Slot
EcoSlot >> Mega-Slot
YogSlot >> Yogs-Slot


I'd been meaning to do this since I added hyphens to DiggysAlphabet!

It's a small change but I think it makes them easier to read, especially if English isn't your first language. The change to Mega-Slot is also a little closer to the name of the big jackpot slot on the old Tekkit Classic server, Super Slot, where Eco Slot was actually the name of the cheaper low jackpot slot.

Version 1.3.4a Released!

Main changes in this version:
  • Updated DiggysStuff to 1.5.9a (was 1.5.9); Flight Beacon renamed to Flight Cube, recipe also changed. Major Flight Cube code changes and bug fix.
As always you can find full details in the Changelog on Technic Platform.

The Flight Beacon, or as it's now known the Flight Cube has finally arrived!

The crafting recipe has changed several times since we first started testing it.
We think the final one is suitably expensive, requires a fair amount of work 
to gather the required items and fits well with its function etc.


The Flight Cube can be used both in the normal world AND Veteran World!

Things you should know;
  • Passing through a Flight Cube gives 1 minute of flight time (infinite uses).
  • When you pass through the Flight Cube you instantly start flying.
  • If the Flight Cube potion effect is already active then passing through a Flight Cube will reset its timer back to 1 minute.. without interrupting your flight! 
  • Passing through a Flight Cube when the Flight Stone potion effect is active will have no effect.
  • The Flight Stone will not activate or use fuel when the Flight Cube potion effect is already active.


As you can see the Flight Cube is no longer a full block, it's 20% smaller
on each side, we think this looks better as it makes it look like it's floating!

If you would like to try one out then head to Vault World!

This is a mandatory update and is required to join the server.

Enjoy!

Slaying The Ender Dragon

Jav0330 and Cedarpoint2 have finally killed the Ender Dragon!


Well done guys!


Did you know that my DiggyStuff mod adds a crafting recipe to make 
theDragon Egg a better prize? Put it into a crafting table with a
Bullion and you'll get 5 back, making it worth $4000!

Version 1.3.4 Released!

Main changes in this version:
  • Updated DiggysMobs to 1.3.0a (was 1.3.0); Various code enhancements and tweaks. Fixed Sandman water damage bug, their major weakness has returned, erosion!

Yep, I finally added the much requested stairs and slabs to match the extra walls I added in version 1.3.3 back in April! 


The slabs work exactly like vanilla ones and combine when placed on top of each other etc!

Related transmutation recipes have also been added to the Essence Stone!

Support Ticket Commands

I have added some extra information to the commands page relating to support tickets as nevs010 pointed out that the /help information for this command isn't great.

Basically it covers how to list your tickets (open and closed), check their status and read replies, close them (in case you opened one accidentally etc),  and reply or add extra information.

Someone also asked how long closed tickets are kept as they noticed the number went down every so often, so for anyone that's interested... closed tickets are removed after 30 days.

Enjoy!
