Imgur to delete old, unregistered content.. bad for the BTW Forum?

I saw this while looking at a porn subreddit: https://help.imgur.com/hc/en-us/articles/14415587638029 According to the new imgur TOS, unregistered images hosted on the site will be deleted. I personally have used imgur without registering to post all of my images to this forum. I assume this is the ...

Re: Snowscape (CE 2.0 Free Server)

The server has been turned off due to inactivity.

This server is a free resource for the community. So please, if you want to play with your friends, just HMU either here or on Discord and I can get it set up for you.

Re: Super Better Than Wolves Dev Diary ft. Community Server Prep

Thanks Dawn! How has work on CE been lately? The CE github repo is so well organized that I have been able to find super specific commits from months ago for my own reference. I am learning to appreciate the value of Git every day I code. I am not going to be streaming today. Just more gourd work. S...

Re: Super Better Than Wolves Dev Diary ft. Community Server Prep

I always wanted to be able to milk creepers in some way to produce a gas thats used in hot air balloon travel for better than wolves. Something about it just seems.... right.

I guess at some point I uploaded a second episode of Snowscape? I thought it was blocked.

In this episode, Aaron treks the landscape in search of a place to call home.

Re: First Day Biome Improvements

It just feels really sparse on wood, which is really tough on the first few nights. Especially with all the jumping you have to do here, meaning you have to hunt more, but you can't hunt day 1 without wooden clubs, which are really hard to get here without foregoing a campfire. Let those fists fly ...

Redstone blocks have always been able to prevent mob spawns, although in a shorter radius before the mob spawn light level changes.

Re: Super Better Than Wolves Dev Diary ft. Community Server Prep

Before CE, redstone torches emitted light. So if anything, redstone blocks taking on that functionality improves the "issue". I don't see how keeping animals pre nether is a problem in the first place. Aw man, I had a whole reply written out to you but I got caught up with something and t...

It is interesting that you take so many precautions to avoid mistakes.

I would love to see a video of you trying to survive in ...
