Ok, I've been running 4 different apiaries around a mix of birch oak and spruce trees, all close together. They have been running for several generations of bees, yet I see no different colored leaves. It's been so long I have to wonder if my game is bugged.

Did they increase the time it takes for leave to change? Is there any reason anyone can think of that would keep leave from appearing?

put on spectacles.

My favorite mods used to be the Aether and Equivalent Exchange, but I can't find new versions of the Aether and the "new" EE is crap. My new favorite mod is Galacticraft.

[Chiefwaffles]

I like Tinkers Construct myself. Really feels like a nice "overhaul" type system without doing anything to vanilla gameplay.

[Putnam]

the "new" EE is crap.

You ever tried the old one on a server? It ruins the game completely. I've seen servers die due to EE2.

[frostshotgg]

EE2 was basically creative mode once you got your first few diamonds.

[Niveras]

Depends on what you wanted to do with it. I kind liked the idea of having a kind of superior all-in-one set of armor and tools for convenient exploitation. Yes, it can be unbalancing if you use it that way; which is why I, at least, would have liked EE3 where the plan was to rebalance things a bit and go back to the older "alchemy-like" method and do away with collectors.

But AFAIK EE3 hasn't been updated in a year or more so EE2 is pretty much all we'll get. I don't know why the most recent [as of the last time I tried, a few months ago] Technic/Tekkit (whatever it's currently called) includes it when you can't really do anything with it.

Meh, I still miss it a lot. I always liked the feeling of when I finally got that next item. I also loved screwing with the magma amulet.

[Putnam]

Oh, the items are returning I'm sure, and x3no's reliquary is pretty good. It even has the destruction catalyst!

Ooooohhh. I assumed they weren't coming back because when I first got EE3, pretty much all that I saw in the creative menu was the philosoper's stone and a bunch of bags, and my friend said they were changing it completely.

I've been putting together a few mods for a fantasy kind of theme. Any advice on things to add, remove or any conflicts would be really handy. So far I have the following

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Forge - Because forge
Optifine - Because supafine

CodeChickenCore + Not Enough Items - Too useful for looking up recipes when you have a billion mods installed.
GUIAPI - Something needed it.
Reis Minimap - Somewhat useful, especially in multiplayer.

Mystcraft - Possibly one of the best mods ever, I couldn't resist being able to make designer worlds.
+Ages of Mystcraft - Because I'm insane and like a stupid amount of pages, I did disable some of the more OP pages though.
+More Mystcraft Decay - Because I like my worlds to be out to get me.

Dimensional Door - Just a lot of fun, especially as a place to build a wizard study.

Thaumcraft - Wands, research, good stuff, great reason to hoard junk.

Ars Magica - Spells, exp dump, annoying structures everywhere, good fun.

Better storage - Best storage mod, backpacks are awesome.
Bibliocraft - Because between Mystcraft, Thaumcraft and Ars Magica I just felt like I needed more desks. Still the bookcases will work wonders.

Better Dungeons - Fun places to explore, also all those chests increase the chances of pages.

ExtraBiomesXL - I actually disabled all the biomes, this is only here to add potential new biomes to mystcraft, making for even more pages to try and collect.
Biomes o Plenty - I disabled a few of the stranger biomes that don't look that great in the overworld, but would be great as mystcraft ages. Also more pages, yay!

Underground Biomes - That wonderful Dwarf Fortress feel of digging through layers.
Metallurgy - Because it wouldn't be completely Dwarfy without hundreds of ores you don't really want.

Special Mobs - Adds some more variations of the standard mobs, jumping creepers are amazing.
Custom Spawner + Mo Creatures - Actually a really important part of this lot as it allows me to configure what spawns in what biome, so I can limit various creatures to biomes that only appear in mystcraft ages, making actually traveling to them somewhat more rewarding than just getting a pretty landscape. Getting a black wyvern ostriche, for example, would require you to travel to an age that has a EB Savanna for the egg and a BoP Ominous Woods for the essence of darkness. Also all the extra mobs are nice.

Enhanced Core + Enhanced Portals 2 - Still not as good as mystcraft portals, but getting better.

More Pistons - Because dwarfy mechanics are fun!
Torch levers - Saddly the 1.5.2 version doesn't have spikes and shit like that, but still good stuff.

No Battle Towers?

[Max White]

Eh, if there was a symbol to control their spawning in mystcraft ages I would without question, but the inability to stop them from showing up is a turn off. I only let better dungeons in because I found out I could configure what biomes they show up in, and that was good enough for me.

Please marry me.

EDIT: I tried it. It's buggy as hell. Quicksoil sends me rocketing through the air. There are no gold dungeons and I haven't seen any silver ones either. Cockatrice's wings spin around for no reason. Zephyrs fly way too fast. I can't figure out how to get the book of lore.

I love it.
