FAQ
No one actually asked me any of this, but i thought it would be a good idea to put it here anyways :)
How do i get started in a new world?
I'm too lazy to make a whole guide, but you can use this mod wiki to get started and the JEI (Just Enough Items) in-game menu to view crafting recipes.
Help my pc is burning
Press O, and use the Performance shader or turn the shader off completely.
