How To Install Bdcraft Addons

Leave a comment

About

This guide should walk you through the process of installing your textures and answer the big questions like: 'Why is my Minecraft crashing after I install the textures?', 'How do I install the 3D addon patches?' and 'How do I add mod texture patches?'. Please let me know if you feel any information is too vague or inconsistent and I will do my best to adjust it accordingly.

Tech Addon for PureBDcraft replaces most redstone based blocks with 3D models giving an advanced technology aesthetic. Redstone wire is more precise, redstone block looks like an advanced battery, and more to discover! Compatible with. Show for MC1.6 and below. Open the texture pack with 7zip or WinRAR. Open the base Sphax texture pack (Left Image) and open the texture patch you want to use (Right Image). Click inside the texture patch archive and hit Ctrl + A on your keyboard to select all the contents within the archive. Solah singar serial song download.mp3.


Main Pack Installation

To read how to install the main pack for MC1.6 and above please read our Installation Guide.
Show for MC1.5 and below
  1. Open Minecraft and on the main screen click 'Texturepacks'
  2. Click Open texture pack folder
  3. Place the texture zip in the folder that opens
  4. Select the pack from the Minecraft packs screen click Done and wait for the textures to load


Adding BDcraft Addons and Texture Patches

To read how to install addons and texture patches for MC1.7 and above please read our Installation Guide.
Show for MC1.6 and below
  1. Open the texture pack with 7zip or WinRAR.
  2. Open the base Sphax texture pack (Left Image) and open the texture patch you want to use (Right Image).
  3. Click inside the texture patch archive and hit Ctrl + A on your keyboard to select all the contents within the archive. Not all patches have contents beyond an assets folder in MC1.6. For those who still use MC1.5.
  4. Now click and drag one of the highlighted contents of your texture patch (in our case it's the assets folder) and drop it into the base Sphax texture archive. A confirmation similar to the one below should appear. Click Yes.
  5. Go ahead and confirm that the files merged, by opening up the folders that were copied and checking them against the texture patch archive. As you can see the extrabiomesxl was copied successfuly.
  6. Activate your texturepack as usual as described here.

Minecraft Root Directories

Show
Windows: %appdata%.minecraft
Open the run dialogue with Windows Key + R and type %appdata%.minecraft in to the box that appears and click OK.
Mac OSX: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraftLinux: ~/.minecraft
If you're using Linux, you can usually just type this address in to your file explorer's location bar.

Common Problems

Show Game Crashes or Resetting to Default Textures
There are two causes of these issues:
  1. You've not assigned enough RAM to Minecraft. You can see this guide for how to assign more; or
  2. Your graphics card can't handle the size of the texture atlas the game is trying to create. If this is the case you'll need to use lower resolution textures.

Show White or Greyed-out textures being rendered

This is caused by Minecraft running out of VideoRAM. You'll need to use lower resolution textures.

Show Low FPS when using 512x on good hardware

Firstly it's recommended you install OptiFine.
If you still get low FPS after that try the steps in this post by enderkitsune.

Show Crashing with an OpenGL Error or Water disappears while using OptFine

Certain graphics cards seem to have minor issues when using OptiFine (chiefly AMD RX580s).
Usually these issues can be fixed by doing the following:
Go to Options > Video Settings > Use VBOs > OFF

Show Blocks of the same kind that appear to have different shades (e.g. Stone, Ores, Sand, etc..)

When you have MCPatcher or OptiFine installed, there's an option for 'custom colours'. Turning this off will prevent the same textures from getting different hues or tints on them.

Show Items/blocks missing textures and you don't know which mod it is?

You can either use Minecraft's debug screen (F3) while looking at a block or you can use a mod that will display a tooltip similar to below:

Show Flickering Textures when using OptiFine

Go to Options > Video Settings > Performance and Turn 'Fast Render' to Off. This may effect your FPS negatively.

Show Can't reset to default textures because Minecraft is crashing?
  1. Open up your Minecraft Directory, then open the text file named options.
    • for MC1.6 and lower, the field is named skin:
    • for MC1.7 and higher, the field is named resourcePacks:
  2. In the images below you'll notice line 18 is the line you need to change. Make sure you copy it exactly as it is, for your version of Minecraft.

Show Getting White lines between blocks
Sometimes this is caused by Mipmaps or Anti-Aliasing in your Video Options. Try disabling them.
Nvidia users may have to do something extra!
Forced Anti-Aliasing (AA) setting and/or a forced Threaded Optimization setting for Nvidia graphics cards. Most of the time this is an OptiFine quirk because it has it's own AA and Multi-threaded optimizations, which is why it conflicts with forced NVIDIA settings.
  1. Right click your desktop and click NVIDIA Control Panel as shown below.
  2. On the left pane select Adjust image settings with preview, then click Use the advanced 3D image settings. Click Apply when you've done so.
  3. Again, on the left pane, click Manage 3D Settings and make sure your settings match the ones in the images below. Click Apply when you've done so.

Rare Problems

Show EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

If you are receiving an error similar to the one below, then you need to update your OpenAL drivers. The posts here and here should explain the details.

Installing the Sound and Music pack on MC1.6

Show The music and sounds pack that are downloadable from the website are made for newer versions of Minecraft, so in order to get the packs to work on MC1.6 you need to do as such:
  • Extract the sound and/or music packs zips
    • Note: If you aren't installing both the sound and music packs you may not have all the folders outlined below.
  • Move files from '/assets/minecraft/sounds/music/game' to '/assets/minecraft/music'.
    • Note: There is no menu music at all in MC1.6, so the menu folder can be deleted.
  • Move files from '/assets/minecraft/sounds/music/records' to '/assets/minecraft/records'.
  • Rename folder 'sounds' to 'sound'.
  • Pack the new structure in to your MC1.6 resourcepack.

      I've looked and looked for hours but i cant find any useful information on how to install a technic texture pack. every page i find has different information and refers to missing folders. probably outdated. i've used the %appdata% command to find the technic folders but they're inconsistent with what relevant posts i can find. i have no idea. i've tried to search on the forums here for guidance but no luck. i've even gone the normal route and pasted the zip file into the resource folder and it registers enough to be selected but once i click done it crashes. any help is appreciated.

      I basically got tired of mining silver, thinking it was tin, and tired of having to mine a block to see if it was tungsten or coal. SO I decided to take matters into my own hands and make a texture pack that very simply changes the ores to me more distinct from each-other, it also makes caves, quarries and ravines a lot more vibrant!
      This 'pack' was make exclusively to compensate for my inability to distinguish ores and its been working out great for me! So even if literally no one else uses this pack, I personally love it and it is for filling is purpose very effectively. So if you have the same problem feel free to download.
      From left to right we have:
      Copper-Tin-Silver-Lead-Ferrous
      Now embedded in stone:
      Uranium and Tungsten:
      Servant's Ores.zip
      Strikes me as silly and to be honest its a little bit frustrating that they would let up upload but let no one download..
      Here's an alternative link. https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.enjin.com/884882/modules/forum/attachments/Servant's+Ores_1505686228.zip
      I do not wish to use Planet Minecraft because I don't want to look like I'm jst adversizing and also because I can't stand the way that site makes you log in again every like three clicks

      ENGLISH: Hello! I'm back with a new package for you! Apparently people have abandoned the Tekkit, and I am here for those people who are looking for a good texture pack for Tekkit. Today I propose the Faithful, as before but fot Tekkit Lite. Good game!
      ITALIAN: Hey! Rieccomi con un nuovo pacchetto per voi! A quanto pare la gente ha abbondonato la Tekkit, e io sono qua per quelle persone che cercano una buona texture pack per la Tekkit. Oggi vi propongo la Faithful, come l'altra volta, solo che è per Tekkit Lite. Buon gioco!

      I was thinking, that a great addition to the Technic Launcher would be a texture pack support. The FTB Launcher has a section where you can chose a texture pack to install on a modpack in a few simple clicks and it just downloads and intalls it in a few seconds instead of you having to find the original download links and download it from there and then waste time looking for and downloading the patches for the specific modpack and then having to manually install it. Who think this would be a great addition?
