Those cherry blossoms look so damn good, seriously nice work on those man. Oh, next thing on my list is to make an alternate white version of the tree, and then add some descriptions for the Research add-on. So I'm wondering if there is a way to edit descriptions of items from my add-on, I want to ...

Those cherry blossoms look so damn good, seriously nice work on those man.

I believe some were added, while others were outright replaced (like when he says "changed" for a recipe). Which, yeah, apart from the handcrank recipe and the mirrored ones (which i don't believe are needed at all due to the way crafting works) i don't really agree with them. You mean yo...

I'm using this addon, and I'm loving it so far... I'm still on the early game, but so far all descriptions do a great job of hinting at the uses for every item. I noticed a possible mistake though: On the furnace description, it says it can process logs into other forms... Have you tried putting a ...

What is it? The BTW Research Add-On is intended as a way for a person unfamiliar with Minecraft or Better Than Wolves to be able to play though the entire game without consulting a wiki or forum thread. Of course, a lot of the learning is still going to come from experimenting, experience and the g...

I believe it is more along the lines of only hinting at things like that from items that you can only get if you are at the higher tech needed to get the items, like not hinting at melting metal in a crucible until you have pottery going. Yeah, it's pretty much this. It's generally the last item yo...

Yeah, as much as I've derided the thorns enchant in the past, jungle spiders would be pretty much the most sensible place in the entire game for the scroll to drop.

Okay, I think I've got a server version working now. Tested it locally, but not very robustly. The nice thing is that the server code is very basic, so most updates will only need to be installed on clients. I also modified a few little things as follows: - A bunch more descriptions have been proofe...

Not sure if this counts as improvising because quite a few people do it, but initially a handcrank can be used with bellows to stoke a fire by hand. You still need the windmill to power the saw to get the bellows, but this can work to get a few glue or something without a full turntable bellows setu...

I'm currently using 165 for the Research Bench, but have been tossing up if it'd be better to extend the workbench and put it into extra meta data for that. The other option is that the deco add-on has worked out a way to make use of the extra block IDs without base class modifications. I was wonder...

Huh, never even considered that aspect. Collecting things during the day and then bringing them back to your hole in the ground to examine them.

Yeah, I see witches as wasted potential, since they couldve been a dangerous support mob that throws splash potions at nearby monsters to increase their power, speed, health, or whatnot, while crippling the player. Instead we got a mob so rare that even most swamps don't have their tiny spawning pa...

So I've got an initial release here if people could test it to make sure that things are working as intended. I wouldn't recommend using it on any established worlds, but in theory even if the mod is removed from a world it shouldn't cause any damage and the blocks will just disappear. Either way, b...

I can honestly say I have never seen a witch in the game.

Wow, incredible work man, this was one of my favorite mods back in the day and I am very happy to see it revived. I see you've got plans for iron lanterns, any chance for the old paper lanterns too? I'm a sucker for classical Japanese styled stuff.

In pouring over the whole of the tech tree (for the research add-on) these two are pretty much the only things that stuck out as feeling off to me. The pulley recipe feels like it could use updating in terms of where it falls in the tech tree, and the anchor feels very expensive (post the iron ore c...

With accordance to the new copyright changes, I'd just like to officially request permission to carry on with this add-on. As a progress update: I've got just a few loose ends in the descriptions to cover, but I've got 95% of them done. I managed to cram in directions through the entire tech tree, a...

This must be why we have the crafting recipe then, everything makes so much sense now Well FlowerChild is always careful not to add anything which would be inaccessible to people playing on old worlds. Plus the hotbar thing ties in well with the recent changes to requiring arrows on the hotbar affe...

I'm not so sure about the differing ID thing, but I have been experimenting with golden dung for a while now and I think I might have something. I'm not entirely sure I'm not just imagining it, but it seems like having it on the hotbar very slightly increases 'luck' for a number of things. I've been...

This looks like a very common vanilla thing, when you delete an old world and create a new one by the same name. What you are seeing are chunks from the previous world which never finished deleting.

Wow, really popping those releases out, packed with content. That changelog is massive, and you don't know how many of those changes make me so happy for writing these research bench descriptions. The enchanter and pistons just made no sense for any of their components to point to their recipe, but ...

So on a lighter note, there is a new addition to Pumpkintown. I finally, with the help of DNoved1, managed to make enough SFS to make a Wither cage: http://i.imgur.com/Rfv9vup.png Along with a Smite V battleaxe and lightly enchanted SFS plate, I was able to make short work of it. This was the afterm...

Just to raise a point about this description, which I hope Six is already aware of: Any information about how an item came to be is useless - There is no way to obtain tanned leather without crafting it yourself. If you have a piece of tanned leather, you also know the recipe, as you were the one t...

So I read the tip that beds are basically useless, what use is a compass if you cannot set your spawn with a bed? What use is a compass if you CAN set your spawn? With a bed, whenever you die you will always know exactly where you are and you have no need for the 'world spawn point' at all. With ha...

Yeah, we've been tossing around idea in the chat about different ways to do the anvil recipes. We've already got a bit of a 'flash of insight' thing going for a few bits, like obsidian -> portal. One thought someone mentioned was ancient manuscripts could actually give hints to the complex recipes, ...
