Re: Vanny's BTW Lp

It's pretty straightforward on the performance guys. He states right at the beginning that he's using new video recording software that's causing it. He's probably used to forge mods, which allow the use of Optifine. Man, if you have any evidence to actually suggest performance is better on a Forge...

Re: Custom Map for BTW - Seeking Input

Derp, it is what I meant. Exposed diamond. A cave system that is down there.
Chances are slim for it not to happen, but you never know. I personally like it on the safe side.

Re: Custom Map for BTW - Seeking Input

I didn't mean that you tinker with the ressources.
For diamonds you need a cave that goes down there. What if there is no appropriate cave system? That is what I meant. It's only a slight chance, but nuclear plants also only have a tiny chance of blowing up. They do so nevertheless.

Re: Custom Map for BTW - Seeking Input

Using the MCDungeon Generator might be a pretty neat idea, as long as you give the dungeons a second pass and add apropriate loot to the chests. It is an interesting variation of placing the looted temples by hand. I'm intrigued of the dungeon idea in general. There are a lot of small and medium goo...

Re: Re-Discovering BTW after about a year away

I'm disappointed. I was really hoping for a "haha noob", it makes me chuckle silently in my lone cellar every time.

But anyway, what server are you playing on? I'm thinking about torturing me with a little competition and the server you mentioned seems fresh.

It just doesn't fit the thread title and original intention anymore. It hasn't been a discussion for quiet a while.

I have never seen anyone procrastinate that hard on a hobby with a hobby.
I enjoy your work a lot though, it's actually pretty great.

Re: Way to grow Lily Pads?

Buoys!
They are basically the only way to mark a way over water in relative safety now.
You see, they are the only blocks I am aware of, that are directly placeable on top of a water block and from there providing a surface to build on.

The taint of Steve

A while ago I noticed, that Steves presence alone seems to be enough to slowly taint the world around him. Whenever Steve occupies a strip of land, it get's progressively more desolate and dangerous around him. The cumulating effects of dimnishing wildlife, disappearing forests, spawning silverfish,...

Re: Hardcore Headwear SPOILERS

Yes, at night.
I have a nice view over an ocean from a hightened position, but have yet to see any squishy squid.

I'm not sure if that is of any consequence, but there are no animals around the area anymore. Either eaten by me or zombies.

Re: Tech-tree progression without dying

After dying a couple of times on my first few hardcore early game tries, I once made it up to a full set of iron tools without dying. Back there the creeper drop of death was still in the game. That combined with a skeleton got me. Sadly I only learned a while after that, that compasses point to the...

Re: Switch weather to sunny after SP respawn

You're being rude and presuming.

Following the logic you use, you are not using hardcore spawn, as the feature prevents the use of dying as bed substitude.

Early game after respawn

I've played for quiet a bit now and the early game has become a lot of fun to me. It feels like a complete roguelike, a game on it's own. What personally bothers me though, is dying and respawning at any point after noon and before sunset. Basically, whenever I respawn in any enviroment other than m...

decrease initial wood punching time

After a spawn three and a half minutes have to be spent punching wood.
Without any alternatives or choices this forced activity seems unfun long.

I propose reduction of the intial wood punching time through not further defined means.
