Re: New Release! (BTW V4.85)

that whole bit about "redstone devices that don't actually have any redstone in them" has always bugged the shit out of me in vanilla. Same here. I see it as really encouraging late game mining. It also fixes some problems, as others have mentioned. All the changes are good, but I especia...

Re: Why I love HC Bucket

Or just build a dirt platform out on the ocean. Quick word of warning though, it can lead to some weird mob behavior. I frequently hear the dying cries of mobs who for unknown reasons chose to swim under my house. Not just zombies (which would make sense as I have animals near there but spiders and...

Re: Why I love HC Bucket

I found it annoying at first and always had it off, but I learned to plan my farms around waterways. I just wish there were ways to get the water to higher levels, for settling near a river. It's called a Screw Pump, and you get access to it somewhat late game. I know, but it's that "late game...

Re: Anyone using tripwire hooks and what for?

It seems to me that they should work like a reverse pressure plate, transmitting redstone power until triggered.

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

The only time I have ever seen a dog in that pose is when they were several hours dead and rigor mortis had set in. That image is kind of unsettling, even for wolves. Oh no that's common behavior for a dog. At least when it's dominated by its master. A dog rolling on its back is common. Having the ...

Re: Jerry's Guide to BTW [YouTube Tutorial] [Road to SFS Ep3

Your guide has been incredibly helpful. I realize now why I have been so frustrated with the mod and what I have to do to change that. Thanks!

Re: Tales of Woe: how has a feature of BTW killed your steve

1. I discovered - the hard way - that zombies can break wooden doors even in easy difficulty. 2. I also learned - the same way - that spiders that see you at night - even through solid walls - still hate you in the day. Not sure if this is BTW or vanilla though. 3. I heard a lot of wolves howling al...

Re: Better Than Solo - Friendly - Whitelist [BTW 4.83]

I requested on your website. Not sure if you want me to redo the request here too. Anyway, I've been lurking a long time, and finally decided to register here. You don't know me yet, so here's a little background: I started playing minecraft back in the beta era, before Better Than Wolves came out. ...
