I have to agree with others before me. If this is cold, hard truth then I can't wait to see what you consider good news. :) As a modder you owe it to yourself to get out and cut your losses if a project is no longer fun and is just draining your creativity, and I'm glad to see you do it. Good luck w...

Well, this is a complete shot in the dark, but my sisters dog has an allergy against chicken and some of the symptoms are similar. I know that some symptoms of allergies and autoimmune problems can be similar to symptoms of diabetes, at least in humans, so maybe it's not too far fetched? Might be wo...

I'd have no problem with doing something like this, though it does depend on scheduling of course. I work as a consultant and have 5 years of dev experience as well as a bachelor degree in CS from the University of Oslo, so I guess I fit the "Computer Science"-field description somewhat......

Happy birthday, dude! :)

I saw a decent mathematical analysis of this once, and have ever since been doing branch mining with 5 blocks between shafts. The way I see it, it's not really about getting all the ore, but about the least stone mined per ore. And increasing the distance between branches actually reduces the amount...

I did some quick testing along the seams, and couldn't find any changes or seams above ground. It also doesn't look too jarring in caves. And must agree with others here that the new look of deep caves is amazing.

Man, this looks amazing! :) Loving the look of it. Though emeralds and silverfish (as mentioned by AddyBaha) still use the light smoothstone texture, making them stand out something awful in the depths. The slowdown of chunk generation did hit my laptop a little bit, but not extremely so. Felt compl...

I usually don't kill the odd creeper here and there. I avoid the odd creeper. ;)

I spent some time in a new world with 4.70, and both HC Bouncing and the stone tool rebalance feel perfect. Having to consider cobble as a resource and think about what to use it for feels just right. As for the bouncing, the only place I noticed it, really, was when branch mining. I usually fill in...

I have to agree with others that have posted before about diamonds feeling almost "cheaty" now. I used an iron pickaxe to get my first few diamonds, and from then on the only time I use iron tools is when I need redstone for a compass after some accident throws me into the wild unknown. I ...

There is definitely an increase of about 20-30% on this system, a ThinkPad W510. I'm still getting my main problem, which is a hellish drop to about 7 fps with serious hangups right after sunrise and sunset. But the drop and stuttering that used to happen if I moved too far too fast is all but gone ...

Sounds like the archiving application you used to copy the mod files into your .jar didn't merge subfolders properly. It's been known to happen to mac users, at least. You'll need to redownload the minecraft.jar (by deleting the /bin folder and running the game, for instance) and then either copy th...

Thanks, man. Like Shengji, I am now able to upgrade to 1.5, I stopped playing vanilla ages ago. :)

Looking forward to seeing what you left out of the changelog. ;)

Happy BTW day FC, and everyone! You have really created something you can be proud of here. BTW is not just the best mod, but one of the best games overall that I've ever played. And your constant dedication, effort and focus keeps being a huge inspiration for me. Thanks! Seems something good came o...

Man, this looks awesome. Will definitely be trying this out today. :) I can't say for sure without actually playing, but from the looks of it this will finally put survival back into survival for me ;) Thanks for all your hard work! As always, the level of dedication you have for this mod is inspiri...

Added to my watch later list. I'll check it out later today. I'm getting more and more hooked on BTW Let's Plays :)

Like Storm, I'm beginning to feel a bit like a broken record. You have my full support FC. Regardless of what form RTH ends up taking, I'm looking forward to playing it. You're a huge inspiration to this aspiring game designer/developer, and your hard work on this mod has inspired me to put a lot mo...

Since I'm both and none:

Godt nytt år!

and

Szczęsliwego nowego roku!

Thanks for the awesome christmas gift FC. :) Merry christmas everyone.

<a minecart-load of truth about code> As a professional developer myself, I have to chime in my support here. The most important thing is getting the job done. I've seen you do more than enough refactoring over the time you've developed BTW to know that you don't let code-rot linger. And the fact t...

Yay! A new dev diary! :) Always enjoy getting a glimpse of your process. I hope the battle won't be as long as you fear, but we'll keep supporting you no matter. And congrats on getting the Saw hooks up and running. :) Finishing a bit of code after being stuck for a while (not necessarily because of...

The point is: one day they come for X, the second they come for Y, and a month after no one is safe. Some kinds of behaviour need to be rooted out before they mature. The crux of the matter, in a single point. This is not about copyright or ego or who you like or dislike. This is about the future o...

I'm glad to hear that this seems to be going in the right direction. And you're right about not trusting Forge. I couldn't trust an API where the teamlead behaves this way. As always, you have my full support FC. It is not now, nor should it ever be, up to anyone but you that decides what's done to ...

Man this pisses me off... You have my full support in this FC, and even though I don't often post over on MCF, I'll update my sig there. Where this idea that somehow a mod like Timber! and a mod like BTW are in any way the same I'll never understand. Playing with several tweaks or single-tool-additi...

I just want to second (or third, or n-th) the sentiment that you've shown, time and again, that you know what you're doing, FC. So whatever solution you go for, I'll be there. (As Morm said it: Bring it on!) While I would have enjoyed to be able to continue through to Home in my current world, I und...
