Seriously, hats off for Zombies Hatsies. I had seen that line of text in the updates a while back but didn't really register it (Does anyone remember Booties for Wolfsies? That was fake, though. Right? RIGHT?). Yikes. It's nightfall a few hours into spawn; I've got oven and chisel and have blocked m...

-Added a more detailed change log for version 4.AAAAAAAAAAHHHH below, which I wrote back when I was working on it. Thanks for this, and for the release. Havn't had anything substantive to contribute the past couple weeks but have enjoyed BTW, and minecraft, more than ever since the AA versions. Hop...

Observations: Update AABABABA pushed me over the edge with the reduced utility of the stone shovel, and it's extended my early game in a way I didn't anticipate. I've now gone from hoe->pick->shears->sword->axe->shovel in 4.9A to hoe->axe->shovel->shears->pick->sword by AABA The most recent change i...

Pickaxe: - Con: With stone pickaxes buffed, it's less painful to use those for longer, making iron less of an immediately necessary upgrade Axe: - Pro: No hunger penalty for breaking tall grass I used to do [rod] -> hoe -> pick -> shears -> axe hoe first (renewable food; I always used hemp so I don...

I've been posting a lot, but this one is weighing on me. I gave the subforum rules another glance and I'm gonna get this out. There's clearly been back and forth discussion on the need to shift-click to light the clay oven, versus automatically disabling the GUI function if holding a firestarting ob...

Here's another research item related to the abov. recovering blocks, "vanilla minecraft" style. [I'm trying to keep this error free. If I remember wrong, or am just plain wrong, please comment and I'll fix and attribute.] Here's what I've found so far Gravity: All loose blocks and slabs ar...

Post-merge disclaimer: It might be useful to merge this post with the Forward Momentum post, but can we wait a day before doing so to allow discussion? After losing my first iron dust by punching iron with my fist, thinking you had to expose it like stone and logs, I've been continually testing how ...

[Changed the player inventory to not get wet when only partially submerged.]

I logged on just to ask if this was -reaaaally- working as intended. Lost at least 4 <items> to this tonight. Thanks a bunch.

The mystery change will just have to remain a mystery for now...

The mutton change is a huge relief. I was starting to feel really dumb, I had so much trouble comparing those over the campfire's light that I was ready to only consume chicken!

1. Half Slabs block lighting . This is not only ugly, it has critical gameplay effects a. interaction of early hiding holes and gloom. A 1-block opening prevents gloom, yet we suffer from gloom when our entrance is blocked with a slab, even though we can still see outside (read: can still see the li...

Boss Flower - Evening. You know me - I've been around since Day 1 with the original 6 mods, and in 2012 I sunk a lot of time into an add-on that was briefly popular here. I've actually never gone away, just don't often feel the need to post; however I *did* miss the recent excavation of the suggesti...

As per title. Breaking wheat causes game to crash; report in spoiler here. Minecraft has crashed! ---------------------- Minecraft has stopped running because it encountered a problem; Ticking memory connection A full error report has been saved to C:\Users\Sakari\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\crash-re...

This is looking so much better Sock!

You're right, it makes a lot of intuitive sense. The only reason I didn't notice right away was because I'm using birch wood and flint/steel, not netherrack yet. Thanks for the responses.

Very easy question here. On our co-op world we're finally amassing some sustainable food, and I can't for the life of me get the chowder recipe to work. It always produces a cooked fish instead in the cauldron. I've tried various placement of items, and referred to the wiki... what might I be missin...

I find it weird that you guys talk about distinct spawns. From what I've experienced, HC Spawn is completely random every time and not bound to a certain number of spawns. That's because within your 10+ hardcore spawn locations you have a degree of randomness. I'd guess there's around a 50x50 to 10...

Surviving in Jungles is not impossible, especially if you reach the border with another non-desert biome. It's just absurdly difficult. I've sort of made it a person challenge of mine since a post a few weeks back... it's just a matter of how much you can build up each time you spawn before you run ...

Sacrifices must be made in the name of art. And this is, of course, Art.
SO glad you two put up more videos!

I have to say, I've seen BTW go through a long, long process, but nothing has amazed more than the final changes forcing us to use different builds. I'm playing for the first time over LAN in a thoroughly recent world, and I completely love Hardcore Spawn in this sense. We've discovered 9 different ...

Just started BTH for the first; it's quite pleasing that it still works with the most recent minecraft.
I would like to discuss my observations, but I'm not sure how much I should avoid spoilers in this thread?

We all appreciate the effort here, and the axle change is as exciting as any flashy features!

So, I could say a lot of things about this commercial, but instead I'll just point out how much 1:26 makes me think of Better Than Wolves...

Fair enough. I think I'm going to try a few jungle spawns on my own and see if I can do much better, given there was food available (mushrooms, presumably pigs and chickens, cocao). I simply havn't put much thought into starting in a jungle previously.

And I definitely called that being icy's base!

So, I recently took my turn on the Better Than Wolves succession game, and I received a jungle spawn bordering a desert. Apparently I don't have very much skill surviving the new jungle mechanics, but surely there will be some times when a BTW player receives a hardcore spawn in such a place and fin...

Sorry it took so long to get back to this - I played for only a single day. Starting off in a jungle spawn is very, very tricky given the hatsies, jungle spiders and food penalties. The video is uploaded as well: VmaDnfNk7io And here is the save file for the next player. I'm starting a new policy of...
