Separate save directory for BTW saves

Post by Husbag3 »

I've recently started playing minecraft again, and have been really enjoying better than wolves. Just this morning, I went to check out the snapshot and absent mindedly loaded my BTW world without loading the BTW jar, thus removing all the mod blocks from my world. After 100+ hours of game-play on that world, I found it immensely frustrating that it was all removed by I silly mistake.

I know this is more along the lines of a suggestion but I don't know any other way of saying, just make it so that you cannot load a BTW world without the correct jar loaded.
If the minecraft world is infinite, why does the sun still rotate around it?

Ouch, that's rough. You can prevent this in the future by using the new minecraft launcher (get the latest Minecraft.exe from Mojang) and setting up a separate profile for BTW with a different directory.

I'm on the new launcher but you need to quit the game and reload before switching worlds. This is what I failed to do.

Really? I didn't have that problem with or without launcher reload enabled

Change the directory and it should save the file elsewhere.

My bad, a mod can lock this down now.
