Re: Sphax Texture Pack for BTW 4.A7 Squid A Swimming

So I was working on my texture pack to update it to the latest version and I noticed my Grass slabs are doing the same thing. It seems as though FC has altered his dirt slabs in some way, at first glance it looked like he has reworked them so that they now take advantage of Better Grass (a feature f...

Re: Sphax Texture Pack for BTW 4.A7 Squid A Swimming

I know the dirt slabs have always worked a bit differently to other blocks with regards to how they get their colour, especially in Swamp biomes. I have corrected the issues with it though in my TP but it was so long ago I honestly couldn't tell you how I fixed it. Might be worth giving mine a go ou...

Re: Mid-Game Slump

Personally I've loved the villager trading aspect of the mod and I find it helps with mid-game slump if anything. For me it provides a new motivation to build bigger farms and semi-automated systems to address bottlenecks in my trades, where the old motivations of early game die off. I haven't start...

Re: The Feature Request / Suggestion Thread - LIMITED TIME O

It would be easy enough for me to add this but use the same texture for all cases by default, to open it up for texture artists, but for me personally, I find the single texture looks better. Just wanted to hop in here and let you know we don't need this added to take advantage of different wood in...

Re: The Feature Request / Suggestion Thread - LIMITED TIME O

Just a small quality of life texture alteration I thought of just now... Change the blood wood leaves so they aren't hard coded to red and instead are coloured with a red texture. This way I can make them blossom trees in the overworld! It's a minor change that would just give more freedom to do tex...

Re: Fresh takes after your break from play starting over [Sp

I wish I was getting two stacks of iron in two days, but I’m paranoid and caves are evil mazes that get you killed. I find in the early game spelunking is great for getting iron. I just skim the surface and just in the entrances of caves in onee direction then head home for the night. Maybe slap a ...

Re: Form vs function in early-mid-late game

I mainly build for function in the very early game, it feels impractical to do otherwise. However I hate it and as soon as I have enough iron for about 2-3 picks, after about two in game weeks, I'll start up on the aesthetics. Aesthetics to me are as important as the functional elements, often I'll ...

Re: Cocoa plants don't trigger buddy blocks while growing.

I know this was posted almost two years ago but I've just been trying to get an automated cocoa bean farm up and running and noticed the buddy block doesn't trigger on any growth phase of cocoa growth, as Magikeh pointed out. It seems like it's the kind of thing that the buddy block should detect th...

While you are working on these new textures, can you look into adding sockthing's deco support? Now that the deco mod is modular I have considered adding a few of them into my server and if so I'd create some textures for it, however I haven't decided which (if any) to add. If you really need suppo...

Fair play to them, I like that idea. It's never sat well with me the way you can just cram as many animals as you like into such a small space. It just looks and feels unnatural

Just one quick extenstion to the usefulness of night vision potions, they counteract the Gloom effects, which for me at least, are a main cause of death once I get pulled underwater. I'd also recommend getting a helm enchanted with Respiration. Equipping yourself with Night Vision potions, a Respira...
