A quick demo of the Altar of Light from the Xeno's Reliquary mod (Minecraft, Feed the Beast Ultimate Pack). It produces glowstone in the overworld. Handy item.

An overview of the Energy Bridge system from the PowerConverters mod. Actual setups from our survival server. I hope you will find this step-by-step explanation helpful. Minecraft: Feed the Beast Ultimate Pack.

I show the basics of the XyCraft "Glass Viewer". Essentially just a seamless glass window with a nice border, which drops when you break it ... unlike regular glass which just disappears (smash).

I show the basics of the XyCraft Fabricator, on the Feed the Beast Ultimate Pack. I use it to make ... Fabricators ... just for a gag. Then show how it manages empty buckets better than the auto crafting tables.

A tour of the Twilight Forest side of our Feed the Beast world ("Santa Fe" world). It was quite a battle to clear space for a village, and we have grown a lot since then. Ends with a tour through dark forest to a really ...

Okay, time to get away from the main town. I give a quick tour of two outlying villages, each with some serious quirks. Downer's Grove was generated on the edge of a cliff, and its gravel roads fall down into pits while ...

In this episode, we tour the wiz tower, an expanded lab full of gadgets, and the Factorization lab. There's still a bit of lag in town, not sure what's causing it. But hopefully you'll see a lot of interesting builds and...

A quick demo of the Uncrafting Table (Goblin Tinkering Bench) from the Twilight Forest mod (Minecraft). Fun block. The redcap goblins drop a maze map focus, you can use those to craft one of these multi-purpose gadgets. ...

This is an item spotlight for the GregTech mod (Minecraft) ... initially I was just going to show how to make and user the Rock Cutter, but then I figured since I was powering mine off of a Lithium Batpack from the same mo...

Here is a spotlight of the Redstone Energy Cell from the Thermal Expansion mod. A really handy block (will store up to 500,000 MJ of Buildcraft power) that has a fairly convoluted creation process. Along the way I show t...

This is a tour of how our little town of Santa Fe evolved from empty desert into its current state of productivity. Along the way I show examples of all kinds of workshops and machines, some safety & construction tips, an...

Continuing my tour of our town of Santa Fe (on a Feed the Beast Beta A server); here I cover the thermal expansion lab, auto peat bog, auto tree farm, my cross-dimensional tree collection, and various other items.

Showing basics of the Buildcraft mod (3.1.8) for Minecraft (1.4.2). Part 2. Shows actual usage of iron pipes (for choosing a direction for items to travel), gold pipes (for speeding up items passing through) and obsidian...

Showing basics of the Buildcraft mod (3.1.8) for Minecraft (1.4.2). Starts with basic gears, pipes, engines. Builds a sample system for moving items from one chest to another by pipe. Brief overview of the Autocrafting ...

Here's an example of how to set up a Buildcraft pump, power it with engines, and pump out an oil deposit into a set of tanks. I meant to describe some of the tricks to using tanks: you can right-click them with a bucket i...

Continuing my explanations of the Buildcraft mod ... here I show how to make waterproof pipes and use a simple redstone engine to move liquids from one tank (or machine) to another. I didn't mention it, but these simple w...

Continuing my intro to Buildcraft, here I explain how to turn transport pipes into conductive pipes (just add redstone!) to power your Buildcraft machines. I show a few different setups and examples of how to link engines...

Continuing where we left off, Ruttemous & I have already beaten the boss lich. Now I have a new Zombie Summoning Sceptre to play with. So we raid the place and unleash one bubbly green zombie pal after another. Just pla...

Here's a fun expedition: raiding the Lich tower in Minecraft (Twilight Forest mod). Ruttemous & I had already done one trip in there, where we cleared the first few floors of that endless staircase. I set up a Mystcraft ...

Here's an overview of the ore processing machinery from the Factorization mod (Minecraft). The Grinder, Mixer, Slag Furnace and Crystallizer each have a chance of increasing your metal output, and they can all run off a s...

Here's another odd collision of worlds. A quick tour of a small part of the "dungeon of Piros", hiding below our base town of Alphanova. It's based on maps I made for my first D&D campaign back in 1984. A huge, annoying...

Here's a little detour on my tour of the Miranda world. A challenge for players: build a copy of your real-world home in your Minecraft world. Big funny hint: if our walls were really a meter thick, there would be no roo...

The tour continues with our first village, Alphanova, one of the earliest villages generated by Minecraft, from way back before there were any villagers to meet. Anyway, we took it over, expanded the village and made a bu...

Another of the landmarks on my Miranda world tour. A mega-tree I wove together and used as a challenge to players. You can find out more about how this was made in my "Treeweaving" video. Here it's just a quick tour. T...

The Miranda tour continues with my half-mushroom house, then descends into my chasm of doom to reach the little house down there. That house made a good challenge. Try spending 20 minutes there with all the creature tumb...

This is the start of a series highlighting some of the oddities and constructions from a private world that ran for about a year and a half. This starts out with my first hole in the ground, progresses to my first big bui...

This is an interesting detour ... I head down into a chasm hoping to find diamonds, mine some obsidian, and set up a nether gate. And I meet all three objectives in just a day & night of mining. I manage a bit of farming...

Continuing to survive. Joust a creeper, build fences to stake out some territory, start a quick farm and delve into a chasm for a heap of iron. It's pretty hard to remember every detail ... guess I left the sound & music...

Continuing to survive ... I head back to raid my original lair, navigate and explore lots of caves and nooks and a chasm along the way. There's a funny encounter with a 3-creeper mini sports team: kaBLAM. I start on a ro...

Okay, I finally found a decent place to settle. I like the desert for building a base. They're open, uncluttered, and you can terraform it into anything you like. A blank canvas. Anyway, once I decide to start the hous...

Guess what's to the west of the jungle? More tundra? So annoyed I had to punch a cow. Or three. Big cave: mining safety tips. Rush home before sundown. Day 5 is mining down as deep as I can get and an explanation of ...

Wake up in my desolate tundra hole-in-the-wall, look for anything useful. Dodge the creep. All part of the general plan of walking one day in each direction until I find a good place to settle.

Continuing my "rough first night", here I try to escape the jungle only to find ... frozen tundra? Not a comfortable world so far! Hopefully you will find my method of exploring and marking the way back home useful. Pic...
