== Introduction to Better Than Wolves ==
 
−
Better Than Wolves is a Minecraft mod that not only adds new items and blocks, but also provides incredible functionality for engineering and design while maintaining the original feel of Minecraft. FlowerChild created BTW since he felt the full potential of the game was not being realized by Mojang for the amount of time they were putting into it. FlowerChild realized the time Mojang spent to create wolves in Minecraft Beta 1.4 and other features in previous releases could have been spent on something with much more functionality and gameplay value. He started a [http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/234199-notch-wolves-are-a-bad-idea/ forum thread] called "Notch: Wolves Are a Bad Idea", which led to another [http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/236629-challenge-better-than-wolves/ forum thread] challenging the community to come up ideas that were better than wolves, which led, after 5 days of [http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/247555-wip-better-than-wolves-mod/ WIP development], to the initial release of the Better Than Wolves mod on April 10, 2011. The mod has been in continuous development since then, with hundreds of new features and gameplay modes. It is nearing final release.

Installation

Installation methods evolved and changed a lot over the years.

For the latest version of the mod, check the Installation page for a step-by-step guide on how to install it for most people (if you're on Windows and own a legitimate copy of the game).

It is strongly advised to join the BTW Discord (https://discord.gg/wztckS29th), to have a look over the #faq for the most up-to-date information.

This is the best place to find answers to most problems you might face, and where you can ask for help in the #tech-support channel.

Introduction to Better Than Wolves

Better Than Wolves is a Minecraft mod that not only adds new items and blocks, but also provides incredible functionality for engineering and design while maintaining the original feel of Minecraft. FlowerChild created BTW since he felt the full potential of the game was not being realized by Mojang for the amount of time they were putting into it. FlowerChild realized the time Mojang spent to create wolves in Minecraft Beta 1.4 and other features in previous releases could have been spent on something with much more functionality and gameplay value. He started a forum thread called "Notch: Wolves Are a Bad Idea", which led to another forum thread challenging the community to come up ideas that were better than wolves, which led, after 5 days of WIP development, to the initial release of the Better Than Wolves mod on April 10, 2011. The mod has been in continuous development since then, with hundreds of new features and gameplay modes.


Beginner's Guide

New to the mod and need some help getting started? Then this is the page for you. The most up to date section of the wiki, which will help you out a lot if you're new to the mod. Mandatory reading, as you won't get that much info about the mod in such a simple, condensed, straight-forward way on what to do next (without giving away all the strategies and automation options) anywhere else.

All mechanical systems can be used in conjunction with redstone power. This addition to minecraft fleshes out the functional engineering aspect of the game and allows much more creativity in the systems a player may design and construct.
