I love listening to the Skyrim OST. It always puts me in a good mood and is great background music while doing any work. It makes you feel like you are back in Tamriel.

When I loaded up BTW today with the new version, I was not expecting my entire cow pit to be devoured by one zombie. I found him just sitting upon the carcasses (leather and XP orbs) of the poor creatures. Now I'm trying to finish up my wall around my base so that I can protect my future cattle. Tha...

This is actually really exciting. I know you have always been against messing with world generation, but I always wanted to see BTW fully integrated into the world since we will not be seeing the RTH dimension. I suppose that this is the best time to change the world generation since you are wrappin...

Thanks for this FC! It took awhile to read through that giant change log. The Packed Earth looks really cool as a type of pathway.

I think this release will make me start playing my BTW world again. There is so much to discover! Thanks FC!

You can see the soul forged steel beacon in the background on FC's picture in the Off-Topic section. I'm looking forward to seeing what it will do.

I'm looking forward to trying this out! This looks like a really cool texture pack. I've been using the default textures ever since Tekei stopped updating his TP and I've lately been wanting to try a new TP.

Water This may not be a "block", but it is probably one of the most significant parts of MC due to its versatility. It is used for so many things, such as aesthetic and practical purposes. The fact that water can spread from its source and be channeled to make certain things makes it an am...

Wow. My jaw just dropped at the sight of this changelog. This is going to be awesome!

Thanks FC for another amazing release. Aesthetic blocks are always a nice addition.

Nether Brick :)

I could see Home like the tainted lands from Thaumcraft 2. It would have many more threats and have that darker feel that we find in the Nether. It could also contain most of the vMC materials that are basic building blocks for BTW blocks, but with more added items and blocks to fill out the world t...

I'm very interested in seeing what they are going to do with minecarts/railroads since they said that they are going to give those a lot of attention for 1.5. It sounds like we will be getting some neat stuff from that.

At around 6:26:40 in that livestream, one of the people asked about mechanical devices being added to MC. He mentioned Better Than Wolves as an example.

The schedule for Minecon has been posted. They say that everything will be live streamed as well.

There seems to be some interesting topics for some of the sessions, including "The Future of Mod API".

I see on the Craftguide Github that BTW support was added about a week ago. I might have to give this mod a try since I occasionally do forget a recipe once in a while.

The fire thing discussed above is one example, but while creating a child class for a small sugar-cane base-class mod I had, I just decided to allow planting of sugar-cane diagonally to water blocks because it's a tiny thing that's always bugged me about the game. I saw the code sitting there for i...

Great to hear that it went well. The Walking Dead episode tonight was really good, by the way. There are some really good plot twists now.

It sounds like the 1.4 update process is going along quite nicely. I'm glad you aren't having the same problems that came up in the 1.3 update. Let's hope this trend continues. :)

Oh wow, this is an awesome release. Thanks FC!

What's going inside that building anyways?

Wow man, this diary might as well have been an update, because when I saw those white-stone pillars... I had no idea we could build those! :D Tables too, in case you didn't notice ;) One of the changes I made last week is to restructure the Moulding blocks so that they each also include room for Pi...
