WOW ! I go away to Paris for the week with the Mrs and come back to 24 carat solid awesome XD

I love the new features, as said above by numerous people before I have to reiterate .. Flowerchild took a fun toy called minecraft and made it into a challenging game!

superb stuff.

really guys, about the the jungle wood? can't you just don't chop it instead at going to Fc to fix it. ?? Sorry friend, I think you misunderstand I'm not asking FC to fix it! I'm more than very happy with the way FC has changed the game for the better. if he wants or doesn't want to change somethin...

While felling a giant oak tree is one of my most hated tasks in minecraft, the fiddlyness and the skills required over and above felling the small trees balances nicely with the abundance of resource. The jungle trees however do not feel properly in balance to me. I concur. It's a matter of some ea...

My normal gameplay "technique" was to start a map.. find the nearest tree. punch it black and blue (or brown and green I suppose) then make some rudimentary tools and mine into a cliff face. I would then fashion a furnace and cook me up some charcoal and bingo.. no more dark nights. it's t...

This is the change I'm most excited about. I have learnt that the less FC says about something the cooler it's likely to be XD .. no idea what the something something is... but am sure it'll be fun XD

*applauds* a WELL deserved beer too sir! Impressive stuff. Look forward to playing with these features!

Which of the 21 obtainable scrolls have you collected so far? Let me count..erm.. none. Sorry let me check and recount.. erm.. *time passes*.. none XD I don't go into the whole spawn tower thing and prefer to play in a more "RP" style. if by some chance a scroll appears in my inventory fr...

In addition to the long range detection and transmission, I use them as overhead lighting with vaulted ceilings. Being able to have an open floor uncluttered by torches is amazing. Oh my..... <<THUNK!>> * ... what an idea! it never dawned on me to use them like that! Awesome XD * sound of a penny f...

"God darnit, Mr. Lamarr, you use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore."

I knew I'd find a use for that blazing saddles quote eventually

Well put sire, well put indeed!

Hey FC.. more than happy to chuck a few more bucks in your general direction! Have a drink on me (or better still.. have one out of a glass!)

Fucking farmable silverfish erm.. I think Flowerchild actually means for you to kill them.. but heck whatever floats your boat y'know? ;) FC, I'll be sad when you tie the knot and sever your umbilical with BTW. I came to Minecraft quite early on, watched it develop into something cool.. then someth...

Hardcore Bacon ?

(I know I did XD )

FC you must be the lovechild of Mr Awesome and Mrs F*cking.. because , quite frankly you're F*cking Awesome!

thanks for this... been AFK for a while.. this is bringing me back into the Minecraft fold again! Awesome!

Version 4.35 of Better Than Wolves is ready for download! You sire are a god, not necessarily a benevolent deity.. but more one of those gods from the elder pantheons of gods.. ones with more arms and teeth and swords than feasibly possible and with a penchant for scorched flesh sacrifices and dema...

I really don't know why I bother donating I really don't if Flowerchild doesn't have the common decency to do his releases when I'm home from work and not cruelly force me to WORK ALL DAY and not experience the exquisite joy of playing a new release until I get home.. I mean.. it's almost as if I'm ...

All right, despite a bit of a hangover, <snip> Anyways, I'd say I'm at least 75% done with the server port now, so should be a quick job to wrap it up tomorrow, sans hangover ;) Yay.. hope my little donation to your cause wasn't also a little donation to the cause of your hangover XD . Keep up the ...

It's painful at the beginning of a project, but by the end it *greatly* aids development speed, and makes a huge difference if say a programmer leaves the team for whatever reason and someone needs to take over their code. When something is consistently formatted, it makes it much easier to discern...

Flower.. for Gods Sake man slow down XD

I've not even installed the LAST update yet.

Love the vertical windmills Btw (or do I mean BTW btw?)

Am in awe of your update/patch/bug fix/polishing speed. *notworthy!*

When I do a fresh start I type in a random seed depending on what I'm doing at that moment.. ie if I'm watching Farscape it might be "frakandfrell" or if I'm watching firefly it might be "browncoat" or "shiny" etc but it doesn't matter about specific seeds. I " LIK...

... not much is really given away there at all... Well, honestly, there aren't any clues in there :) aha ! the classic double bluff !! I subjected that image to rigorous post processing, extracted the individual pixels and rearranged them according to an ancient kabbalistic numerology algorithm, re...

Have to say, personally speaking, I love the new features. Alas My players on my server.. well .. WHAT players?? I started off with about 20 on vMC, dropped to about 10 when I switched to the first BTW SMP then it's been dropping ever since. Darned philistines don't know what's good for them XD I re...

a little "rant" I posted on another forum I'm a member of. the rather silly Topic was How would you feel if you got the rights to minecraft I'd donate it to Flowerchild (developer of the Better than Wolves plug in) so he could make Minecraft less like a Lego Toy and more like an Actual Gam...

To all: I am glad that people are being inspired to try Hardcore Spawn by this thread. For me, at least, it it is a very enjoyable experience. While my server is NOT an anarchy one.. I am tempted to enable this feature for "Sh*ts and giggles" I was a chicken previously.. anything hardcore...

I think I just managed to come up with my most convincing argument against the Hardcore Bed haters yet: I do love your succinct and cogent arguments XD Personally if I were in your shoes.. I'd make all beds explode as per Nether functionality regardless of which realm they're placed in .. see how l...

So yeah, on the bright side, being the ornery son of a bitch that I am, the likelihood of something like that happening to me is just about nil. My primary skills definitely include the ability to say no to hoards of people and tell them to fuck off when they disagree with me ;) From one Cantankero...
