Re: New Release! (BTW V4.8912)

Love the whole animals interest addition. Getting them chickens to follow my ass is definitely a pain when my belly starts grumbling and night starts descending. I don't know how many times I've died luring chickens to my base. Thanks FC!

Re: Hardcore Nether Animals Discussion (Spoilers)

You might be right. There was another thing that happened prior to my cows and chickens going all "exorcist." A dumb zombie tore the gate off my cow pen and some of them wandered very close to the portal. The strangeness started after this. I killed some and corralled others back into the ...

Re: Hardcore Nether Animals Discussion (Spoilers)

Long story short I believe it has to do with lighting netherrack to heat a cauldron. Before I did this I had absolutely no issues with my cows or my chickens. Creating a hibachi uses concentrated hellfire which has been treated. In this the souls are trapped in netherrack and putting them at rest re...

Re: Upcoming Design Change: Witches

Finding a witches hut? No problem. Finding a witch? Never seen one. I must say a big reason I have for playing BTW, rather than any of the technical mods, is how challenging you have made every mob in minecraft. Knowing you'll make witches one more mob to fear in this game is fantastic!

Re: Hardcore Spawn - The Joy of Starting Over

I have only set sail along the coast once after HC spawning. I did so with the belief that it was very likely I would find the dozen or so landmarks I had set up much earlier. Twenty minutes into my search I was deeply frustrated. It was only dumb luck that led me to discovering a jungle temple alon...

Re: Hardcore Spawn - The Joy of Starting Over

After having fallen into lava I spawned in a location unfamiliar to me. As there is a swamp to the north and south of my base the first swamp I spotted I began trekking through. After several in-game days it was obvious I was someplace I have never been. So, I began the search for iron and each iron...

Hardcore Spawn - The Joy of Starting Over

When I first began playing BTW, almost one year ago, I was quick to disable hardcore spawn. I believed at the time that dying meant losing everything I had worked so hard to achieve. Since Flowerchild has removed the ability to disable hardcore spawn I have discovered that dying and spawning in an u...

Re: What iron tool would you make first?

So, not only do I make a pick first, I always make sure I gather enough iron with it to make another one before making other iron tools. Yep. To get the full value of my first iron pick I HAVE to mine 27 iron nuggets. After that I make a hoe and then a sword. I love the iron axe, because of how dam...

Re: I've forgotten how to play vanilla

you can't reclaim the water afterward. You can, unless that has been changed. Have to be a bit quick about it, but not too quick. Dump the water on the ceiling or wall, you will have more time to reclaim. I'm aware of this as well. Haven't used it since it's an exploit. Glad to hear FC is getting t...

Re: I've forgotten how to play vanilla

never using buckets of water to obsidianize lava at the bottom of caves Errrr, you can do that in BTW. Harcore buckets does not stop you from turning lava into obsidian. Perhaps I did write that in error. I'm aware you can do this with hardcore buckets, however, you can't reclaim the water afterwar...

Re: I've forgotten how to play vanilla

I haven't played vanilla in a long while. However, when last I did I found myself attempting hardcore changes. Such as, keeping darkness set to "moody" and never using buckets of water to obsidianize lava at the bottom of caves. I even restricted myself to leather armor only. It didn't las...

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

In regards to the tweet "teasing" terrain gen in the next minecraft update, the stream of replies seem to indicate dismay. Is it impossible to add underground rivers, or improve dungeons and strongholds? As flowerchild has repeated throughout this forum Minecraft does not have a single gam...
