If you're having problems with your installation of Better Than Wolves, or if you've woken up in the future and are beginning to doubt the nature of reality, here's the place to post about it.
If utilities are a problem (or perhaps you want to script it), you don't need MCPatcher or winrar, or anything else to reliably install BTW on OS X El Capitan, as long as you can bring up a terminal and type.
Ingredients:
* The freshest BTW zip from the download page
* Vanilla Minecraft installed, with profile created using version 1.5.2, and successfully run at least once. (OS X used to prompt you to install a legacy version of Java (1.6.0), which you seems to no longer be required.)
* The 1.5.2 server jar - if you want to patch the server, which we'll download from Mojang here.
Steps (client):

* Prepare for our patched version inside the Minecraft install
Wow! Fantastic guide, thank you. Also welcome to the community :)

Thanks! But I've been here for about a year, just haven't had anything to say before now. HumpedCamel tipped me over and I felt like I needed to do something other than money for FC.
By the way, I also have an AWS CloudFormation script to bring up a transient BTW server if anyone is interested.
While I'm giving shout-outs, I would also like to thank haschischtasche for a let's play that showed me you can play skillfully and with urgency, and Xisuma's UHC series for modelling efficient caving BTW-style. I'd not really bothered with MC before BTW.
If anyone tries my patching approach and has issues, let me know here and I'll support.
Thanks for posting these instructions! I haven't played Minecraft or BTW for a *long* time now, so I'm pretty rusty on this stuff. :)
One thing though: Did you mean sed s/1\.5\.2/1.5.2-btw/? As is, the dots will match any character.
Thanks a bunch. I was finally wanting to update my BTW install after having not done so in quite a while, and had forgotten how I did it last time through command line. For anyone just looking to update an existing BTW install over a previous existing version, you only really need to use the jar command (after unzipping the btw zip).
I would also be very very interested in that AWS CloudFormation script you mentioned, if you could share the details on that, I've been toying with the idea of setting up a small server for friends lately.
