Cool! Also, I'm glad that you apparently unblocked me as well. :)

Re: Possible SMP coplayer who is colorblind
Thanks for the reply, folks. I'll bear your suggestions in mind after contacting my friend to get a feel for their circumstances.

META -- There are "Add Friend" and "Add Foe" functions on the BTW Forums?
My guess is that this would be considered an off-topic discussion due to the lack of any other obvious location to post a meta-thread. When viewing another person's profile, underneath the drop-down to describe "Groups," there are two links. The first is "Add friend," and the sec...

Possible SMP coplayer who is colorblind
I have a friend who might be interested in joining me in a crew for a new multiplayer BTW server that I hope to set up for next weekend. This individual is colorblind. I'm aware that there are different types of colorblindness, and I don't yet know which type my friend has, but I do gather the disti...

Re: Last played BTW in late 2017, seeking advice on converting friends to BTW
Any particular reason to request a deletion? The info above may be useful to others. Full honesty, I was feeling embarrassed. A fair portion of that embarrassment stemmed from online events and impressions that I carried in from outside the scope of BTW. Before your comment here, I was honestly que...

Last played BTW in late 2017, seeking advice on converting friends to BTW
Howdy folks! The coronavirus pandemic has finally made it possible for me to return to BTW, and I'm excited that a handful of my friends are open to joining me on a new SMP. The last time I played was in very early 2018, just prior to the "Squid A Swimming" update, I think. I'm glad to lea...

90s is greater than 80s. I have no idea what that's referencing, but since I find it kinda weird that I've actually been to that club, ok... let's go with that :) The lyrics are, "It's not Enough." In response to your awesome releases. And of course it was also a poke at 80s hair metal, b...

RTH curiosity revisited
As asked in this thread: http://www.sargunster.com/btwforum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=9170 It was explained to me that BTW was dying down as a result of several non-health factors, including a dwindling blockID set as well as diminishing quality in vMC. The former was recently broken-through as eviden...

Re: New Release! (BTW V4.A7 Squid A Swimming) - NO SPOILERS
In regards to the pumpkin spawn changes does that mean the pumpkins I got searching around spawn are no longer legitimate? I read that growth-spawning mechanics are changed. Gathering from dawnraider's photo and how FC said it would result in "a hot mess," I'm of the impression that the p...

Re: Hardcore nothing to worry about question [Spoilers]
I'm not entirely certain what the "safe" distance is for a nether portal, but out of an abundance of caution and / or paranoia, I keep my own portal beyond load distance. That's entirely unnecessary, I've found that more than about 32 blocks is fine. I usually go a little more than that t...

Seeking -- selective blank-glass texture only
I honestly prefer vanilla textures in my gameplay, but I've seen some examples of nice transparency-textures for glass that allow for seemless joining of multiple panels / blocks. The best example I saw was one that left some subtle distinguishing features at the common-edge of the larger panel whil...

Re: The Feature Request / Suggestion Thread - LIMITED TIME O
More to the point, high traffic SMP servers can have players independently loading chunks in any number of locations. The performance hits that I notice in those scenarios are when rendering chunks for the first time, such as after someone dies or establishes a new portal. I think that in the remote...

Multi-instance?
I've developed a pretty robust concept for something in a creative save I maintain for troubleshooting, but I'm finding the acts of translating them into survival to be rather tedious. I know that pasting something in with savefile editing is a likely possibility, but I have no interest in exploitin...

Re: The Feature Request / Suggestion Thread - LIMITED TIME O
I like the general idea behind biome-specific growth, but for reasons apparently not mentioned: Needing to generate resources that are hard-tied to specific biomes would in theory incentivize multi-base living, but at some point, it then creates a need to leave those bases loaded into memory. Within...

Re: Who (or what?) is Steve? Why is he here?
As I see it, the hostile mobs are made to kill and eat the animals with the hope of starving Steve. All the mobs not only have a purpose against Steve, but almost mirror him too. Zombies: eat the mammals and convert villagers. Steve: breed animals and trade with villagers Skeletons: attack from a d...

Re: Who (or what?) is Steve? Why is he here?
I, too, am dissuaded away from the Team Evil concept. I am, however, perplexed by the backstory implications of the enchanting system. "Infernal" enchanters. Leveled priest villagers. Enchanter libraries as a sort of necromancy-capacitor. Steve is some sort of former-mob. Maybe a cured vil...

Re: abandoned village outside typical range?
What version migrations has this map been through since original seed gen? Has OS been manipulated, or have any chunks been externally edited?

Re: The Feature Request / Suggestion Thread - LIMITED TIME O
I like ko_teknik's idea of a wheat block that acts as an animal-feed version of a cake block. Generally, I have no idea what to do with multiple chests of surplus slimeballs, and cisterns seem to be a very iron-expensive-in-early-game decorative block. I know of no good use for them other than to s...
