Understatement of the century.

Recently had enough time to come back to Minecraft and was hit with a wave of nostalgia when I remembered all the times on Opticraft like 7+ years ago. I dunno if people even use this forum anymore, but thought I'd pop in and say hi.

I'm a Geologist, now; maybe ironic given all the time I used to spend on Minecraft. I just got back from a month-long trip doing field-work in Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone (WY). Working on my Masters at a nice international school that's paying me to do research and TA, which is nice. Rocks are cool, and they're very easy-going.

Is the creative server even live anymore? Or is there anywhere else people hang out? It'd be cool to get back in touch after such a long time away.

I will pardon you.. you were banned 4 times in 2013.  Hope you have matured since then

Well it was worth a shot.

Wow, it's been quite a long time. I checked my profile and it's been seven years since I joined this server. When I joined I was in middle school and now I've nearly finished college. Wanted to see if anyone was still around, wanted to connect? Would love to chill and remember the old days as well as catch up on what everyone was up to!

The easiest way is to download the twitch app (https://app.twitch.tv/)
Click on the Mods tab – Find Minecraft – You’ll see a tab that says my modpacks, it will be empty.
Next to that is Browse all Modpcks – search for FTB Presents Direwolf20 1.12 and select that.
 
Next, go back to My Modpacks and play Direwolf20
The Minecraft Launcher will open and the Direwolf20 profile will be selected. You will need to edit the profile.
Select Launch Options and click on the direwolf profile – under JVM arguments, change -Xmx307sm to -Xmx4g or -Xmx6g
 
This changes the amount of ram allocated to the game. It needs to be at least 4g, however, we have found that 5g or 6g works better. Play with this setting if you cannot connect or keep crashing.
