FTB Essentials in All the Mods 10

FTB Essentials is the mod behind the handy player commands in this pack. This pack ships version 2101.1.10 for NeoForge, and it has been in the pack since 0.32 or earlier.^[1]

The quest book mentions it in the first chapter, "Welcome", which is chapter 1 of 66 in the book and has 5 quests. The quest a quest in "Welcome" covers the commands: /sethome (name) saves a home, /home (name) takes you back to it, /spawn sends you to the spawn of your overworld, and /rtp is a random teleport to a random spot in the world.^[2]

Right before it in the chapter's list is a quest in "Welcome", which shows how to make a team with /ftbteams party create (name of team). That one is a different command set, so don't mix them up. The commands quest is the last of the five quests listed in the chapter.^[2]

Like every quest in this pack, the Welcome ones are optional, and the quest text says mods are not gated behind completing any quests. The quest sources I have don't tie FTB Essentials to the ATM Star path.^[2]

Good news: the quest book's Welcome chapter points you to commands for FTB Essentials, not items to craft. The quest book shows you the commands first, so you can get around safely from your first minutes.^[2]

The Welcome chapter is chapter 1 of 66 in the quest book and has 5 quests. It opens with "Welcome to All The Mods 10!" quest, and the command tips sit in the quests that follow.^[2]

The commands to learn first

1. /sethome (name of home) saves a home you can teleport back to with /home (name). For example, /sethome farm and then /home farm.^[2]
2. /spawn teleports you to the spawn of your overworld.^[2]
3. /rtp is the Random Teleport command. It sends you to a random location in the world.^[2]

Cooldowns and limits

These commands have cooldowns and limits. If you want to change them, edit the ftbessentials.snbt config file. In singleplayer it is in saves/(name of save)/serverconfig/. On a server it is in world/serverconfig/.^[2]

Other tips from the Welcome chapter

• Quests are optional in this pack. Mods are not gated behind completing any quests, and many questlines outside the Main questline work as mod guides.^[2]
• To make a team with your friends, use /ftbteams party create (name of team).^[2]
• To claim chunks, open your map with M and click the Claimed Chunks icon in the top left. Left click and drag to claim, or shift-left click a chunk to force load it. Lines across the chunk show it worked.^[2]

The sources for FTB Essentials only show a pair of data files that ship in the mod's own jar, both named "ignore_rtp". They are tag files, one for biomes and one for blocks. Nothing here explains machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or item automation, so this section stays short.^[3][4]

The ignore_rtp tags

The biome tag has a single entry: the vanilla ocean biome tag (#minecraft:is_ocean).^[3]

The block tag lists the vanilla leaves tag (#minecraft:leaves) and bedrock (minecraft:bedrock).^[4]

Both files have "replace" set to false.^[3][4]

There is no tier ladder for FTB Essentials in this pack. The quest book presents it as a handful of commands and setup tips, so you can use all of it from the start.^[2]

Where it shows up in the quest book

The quest book places it in the Welcome chapter, which is chapter 1 of 66. One of the untitled quests there (a quest in "Welcome") lists the helpful commands. Next to it are the first-time setup quests: "Welcome to All The Mods 10!" quest, a quest in "Welcome" on claiming chunks, a quest in "Welcome" on creating a team, and a quest in "Welcome".^[2]

Quests in this pack are optional, and mods are not gated behind completing any of them. You can use these commands right away.^[2]

The commands the quest covers

• /sethome (name of home) sets a home, and /home (name) teleports you back to it. For example, /sethome farm and then /home farm.^[2]
• /spawn teleports you to the spawn of your overworld.^[2]
• /rtp is the Random Teleport command, which sends you to a random location in the world.^[2]

Random teleport data in the mod

The mod's own data includes ignore_rtp tags, one for biomes and one for blocks. The biome tag lists the ocean biome tag. The block tag lists the leaves tag and bedrock.^[3][4]

FTB Essentials only shows up in one place in the quest book: the Welcome chapter, which is chapter 1 of 66. The chapter has 5 quests, and only one of them is about this mod.^[2]

The commands quest

a quest in "Welcome" is a checkmark quest, so there is nothing to collect or craft. You just read it and tick it off. It lists the helpful commands you can use in the pack.^[2]

• /sethome (name of home) sets a home, and /home (name) teleports you back to it. The quest's example is /sethome farm, then /home farm.^[2]
• /spawn teleports you to the spawn of your overworld.^[2]
• /rtp is a random teleport that sends you to a random location in the world.^[2]
