Version 4.50 of Better Than Wolves is ready for download!

Download Link

This release contains the following changes:

-Added Hardcore Beacons as a new mod feature. This completely revamps the way vanilla beacons work to make them more difficult to construct, more powerful (as in...not useless), and WAY more interesting overall. The details of this system are left to the player to discover. Note that more beacon types are on their way, but the stuff that is in there already is so cool that I wanted to get it out while I work on the rest :)

-Added internal hooks so that add-on authors can create custom beacon types.

-Changed (refactored) the way the mod works internally to reduce the number of base-class modifications made to Tile Entities. This affects the chest, and mob spawner.

-Fixed vanilla problem where beacon blocks would not drop their inventory if the block is destroyed.

-Fixed problem with shears taking double damage when harvesting webs.

Enjoy! :)

Wow! Awesome FC, can't wait to try this out :)

It's been a while, but I'm too curious, I need to test this :)
Hello again, World !

Thanks bro ;)

Well I'll have to finish my homework a bit faster if I want to try this out tonight.
Also thank you FlowerChild for making minecraft playable for me with all the work you have done in making better than wolves.

Nice job on the new release, as always! This will give me something interesting to do in the boringness of finals (Who thought "Hey, 5 hours of testing for three days straight sounds great!"? ;)

Ooooooh-wheeee, this is going to be fun. Thanks for the update man!

Awesome!

I´m excited and sad at the same Time.
Exited because of the new Version and sad that i need to work before i can try it :(

Thanks for the work anyways FC!

I'm really excited to try this new feature out, I've got a couple ideas but I think those would be better saved for a spoiler thread.

Glad I updated to 1.4.7 yesterday! (was too lazy to do it before)
Thank for your hard work! Now excuse me but I've got plenty o' withers to kill.

For some reason, this made me think of this:

Wow. Taking a little trip back to Y2K there. Haven't seen that vid in ages.

Incredible work on the update, I wouldn't have imagined the beacons would be out so soon! Great surprise.

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! :)

I've built an combined beacon once to aid in the excavation of a huge mobtrap area and otherwise completely ignored them, because they just weren't worth the hassle, if you don't have some specific project in the beacon area.

Can't wait to try out your version, from your posts in the dev diary thread they sound amazing!

And of course thank you very much for all your work and updates, which I appreciate much too rarely with a post in the release thread.

Thanks FC. This is really great :)

Thanks for the quick release, FC.

Roflmao... I'm close to siging this.... but anywas, back to topic.

Don't know the 1st thing about beacons, as I stopped playing minecraft before they were introduced and only recently came back... and all I've heard was how hard they were to make for how little they did. Now with FC's involvement with Beacons. oh dear lord ::grabs tinfoil hat:: I love you FC but you also have a penchant for things to explode when you do stuff incorrectly ^^. But other than that, sounds sweet. Guess I must learn to make a beacon ^^... or bacon.... whichever comes 1st... dammit, now im hungry...

I was falling over myself to get this update on my server last night. This is going to be fun as soon as I get my third wither skull.

Thanks for making these changes FC (whatever they might be)!

Thanks a lot for the update FC !

Glad you're back on track :-)

Well shit, now I'm going to have to stop building mad houses in creative and start up a new BTW world ;)

Danke FC!

Wow I finally have a reason to kill the wither boss... lol! thanks FC!
