Tekkit: Introduction

[Bread]

Since a lot of people here aren't familiar to Tekkit, I will be making tutorials.

All pictures are from The Tekkit Wiki.

So..

Here is a simple Q & A to answer some simple questions.

Q: What is Tekkit?
A: Tekkit is a modpack for the popular game Minecraft, designed by the Technic Team.

Q: What is a mod?
A: A modification for the game, Minecraft.

Q: How do I get Tekkit?
A: You need to purchase the game, Minecraft, first. Then download the Official Tekkit Launcher, or a cracked one if you don't have Minecraft. (Note: I will not give out any links to cracked launchers. Use Google!)

Q: How do I get to our server (Tekkit Classic)?
A: Open the launcher, select the "Tekkit Classic" modpack. Go to "Multiplayer" , select "Add Server", and then put in the name of the server (optional), then add the IP of the server.

Now, to the tutorial itself.


Getting Started

First thing you would want to do when you enter your world, is build a house ASAP. A bed would be nice too. This tutorial assumes you know the basics of vanilla Minecraft.

After you get a sturdy house, it would be essential to construct a pickaxe, hoe, and a sword. Then you should go mining, looking for ores. Notable ores to look out for will be listed here(Ones in bold are rare.) : Iron (Tannish), Coal (black), Copper (orange), Uranium (green), Tin (light grey), Silver (almost same color as Tin), and Diamond (light blue). The rest I'll explain the use of later.

You'll want Copper and Tin for making cables. You want Diamond and Iron for tools such as pickaxes and swords. Uranium can be used for generated heaps of EU (Energy Units) later.

Coal is used for recipes, as well as smelting ores.

You're going to want a lot of Iron , Coal, and Copper for the moment.

Once you have about 20 iron ore, 40 coal, and at least 20 copper, you can head back.

When you get back, you should make a furnace (if you haven't already.)

Then you might want to smelt some sand to make glass, for pipes.

Pipes

Make a chest. Put it a few blocks away from your furnace.

Make one wooden transport pipe, and a few stone pipes.

Recipe:
Transport Pipes:
In the 2nd row: put it like this: wood/iron/gold/diamond/stone/cobble glass wood/iron/gold/diamond/stone/cobble.

Then you need a redstone engine to power it. You will need a piston, some wooden gears, glass, and wood. To craft wooden gears make sticks in a diamond shape.

Once your engine is made, place your wooden pipe out a side of your furnace, and lead the rest of the pipes to a chest. Place the redstone engine near the wood pipe, and power it with a lever.

Now, when you smelt items, the engine will pump them into the chest!

i would like to add to this to make a condensor with energy collectors and antimatter as soon as possible so u can duplicate items and also u can press E then press O to see a list of all items u can search in the list aswell and if u press R on any item there it will show the recipe on how to make it
PS: tommorow will be a lot of work if everything goes according to plan so chris do u have time tommorow to help me configure all the stuff?

Any idea when do you get server on?
Atleast I cant wait to get there, so nice to have "own" tekkit server in our community. :P

[ThaKilla]

if we manage to get everything ready tommorow itll be online tommorow

[Bread]

Another tip for the tutorial, off Killa's notes: if you press O in the inventory screen (E) : you will see a bunch of items you can get in the game. If you press R on one of these, you can see the way it's made.

annyways you can always ask me how to make something cuz im pro @ tekkit xDDD

[Rote]

Ah, nice if its up and online tomorrow ^^
Must train bit play tekkit properly today
Hopefully you get much people in

[Bread]

there's also different modes in options you can go into recipe mode... cheat mode... and utility mode. But you can only use recipe mode on the server.
