New Release! (BTW 4.65) [*** NO SPOILERS ***]

[RezDev]

Yes, I've played a little bit and, so far, the little tweaks have been---amazing.

Can't wait to see what else is in store for us...I'm all tingly...

Thanks, FC!

As someone that predominantly plays on peaceful, I've felt rather out of the loop with the mod for the last couple of months. I have always been somewhat restricted on what I can do without mob drops, relying on coming across temples and dungeons for things like bones in order to tame wolves.
I decided I'd had enough of this so I started a world playing on easy. I've been absolutely loving it. The processes required to obtain things is extended but not so much that it becomes a tedious grind. I've got an iron sword and pickaxe at this point and have stumbled upon an abandoned mineshaft. I found some melon seeds but lacked the iron to make a hoe. It was at this point that I did something rather unprecedented in minecraft, I made a gold hoe!
These last few updates have significantly renewed my interest in both the mod and the game and for that I thank you fc.

[Prof_Ion]

I am looking very much forward to this! :D Gonna be recording and such as soon as I can. Thank you very much for this FC gonna be recording as soon as me and the gang decide where we are all gonna record from as far as a server for us all to play on. As soon as we get that all done myself and at least one other friend will be recording today and hopefully video up tonight. (EST -5) So in about 12+ hours :D

[This is not a promise as far as when I have a lot of things to work on with moving today. Luckily it is just 10 minutes from my old place, and I should have things in order by tonight.]

this sux

[Kaitocain]

Took a quick glance through the changelog and I must say that I am very excited to get home and record a video of this. Expect something up tonight. As always, awesome work FlowerChild!

Give it an honest try. It may be a little more challenging (maybe) but in the end it creates a more rewarding experience. The Nomad experience is really an awesome part of the game now and part of me doesn't want to setting down and start a farm just because I'm having too much fun traveling.

This question isn't really related to the latest release but it is relevant to the recent changes to the early game. Can you still get hemp seeds from hitting grass or do you need to use your hoe on the grass to get them?

Hmmm.. Dunno if that qualifies as a spoiler :p

Nah seriously though long grass is fine for hemp.

OT:

Wow. So many things I want to say are great but I can't. I've only played a few days into a new world and wow. Changes to furnaces and wood are pretty neat so far, especially the sound effect, I didn't even notice it was out of the ordinary till I read the patch notes. The things that I've noticed that I can't post about are immense, I had some serious WTF?! moments in there. I've noticed a few changes to the generated world I started in 4.64 and re-created fresh for 4.65b, unsure whether this is a bug or feature though, but can post details if you like. Nothing major, but I know you're really cautious with regards to world gen.

[Jeet]

-Changed the furnace to burn fuel regardless of whether there are any items to cook in its inventory, for the same reason as above. This also makes furnace management more interesting in terms of avoiding wasting fuel, and furnaces automatically going out when they no longer have stuff to cook always felt rather meta-gamey anyways.

This I love. I always felt that if fuel was in the oven, it should burn.

Damn you Flowerchild, you are tempting me to come out of my self imposed youtube retirement to being recording my new adventures.

[CreeperCannibal]

Loving the update already. :) I'm going to enjoy doing things.

[wizardglick]

Well, looks like it's time for a new world tonight. And there I was, dangerously close to building a windmill. (Never did find a village, though)

[RedNoob]

-Changed the bucket recipe to use 7 iron nuggets in a 'U' pattern, instead of 3 iron ingots, to better balance it for the recent changes to iron.

Doesn't this conflict with the vanilla cauldron (btw renamed it to: cistern) recipe?

I was on hollidays for the last 2 weeks, so I may have missed something. Just downloaded the lates version and went through the redme but could not find something so far ;)

And well, as mentioned so often: Its just impressing how FC makes Minecraft the Game WE ALL HERE realy want to play ;)

[Battlecat]

Cool update FC! I'm going to have fun looking into the unlisted surprises tonight when I get home!

-Changed the bucket recipe to use 7 iron nuggets in a 'U' pattern, instead of 3 iron ingots, to better balance it for the recent changes to iron.

Vanilla cistern and BTW cauldron take ingots. The bucket only needs nuggets.

No, because the cistern uses ingots, not nuggets in the recipe.

By the way, this release is looking friggin' epic! I can't wait to try it out when I have some more time!

[RedNoob]

I shell read through the notes properly next time -.- !!!
I'm sorry for that!

[ThePowerofTower]

Chocolate milk... Check. Chocolate covered bananas... Check. Chocolate covered strawberries... Check. Chocolate soul urns... Check. Chocolate covered caramel with chocolate bits... Chocolate. Fresh pair of undies (sans cocoa)... Check. Ready to play the update, boss ;P

Teach me what you know. $_$

Can I use this as my sig?

Indeed you may! :)

[HappyDyas]

It was 10:30pm and i was lying in bed
"hmm.. what might FC have brought during today?"
looks at change log knowing that this soul cannot play till the next day due to exhaustion.
Honest to goodness has dreams and nightmares about playing Better than Wolves.
Mainly nightmares. I swear

[0player]

I haven't played the release myself (waiting for server to update), but I watched the first video so far and I should say: FC, what a brilliant change of the number of uses for wooden pickaxe! Believe it or not, it's the exact same amount I usually mine with it, and then I burn it or forget it or something, although I suspect many can relate to this.
snip. wtf? -Flower
PS: Better Than Wolves, bringing people World Restart Syndrome three versions in a row? YOU HAVE BECOME WHAT YOU LOATHED MOST! :)

[Mud]

Running around in leather armor, cleaving skulls with a stone axe really adds to the nomadic flavor.

[Itamarcu]

After seeing all those huge releases lately I just had to finally fix my Minecraft and go back to playing BTW. Needless to say: This is amazing. You are amazing. I am very afraid right now.

[FlowerChild]

Arg! I'm such a noob!

I just realized I totally dropped the ball on labeling the hoe changes as "Hardcore Hoes" :( :( :(

EDIT: Well, at least I was able to mark this release as the "Hardcore Wood & Hoes" one in the MCF thread title to salvage the day :)

[icynewyear]

Edit - Crap. Wrong forum. Ignore me :P

[HappyDyas]

LOL!

"hardcore wood"
"hardcore hoes"

FC you make my everyday :)

[Gears]

-Changed melon and pumpkin stems to not drop seeds when they are harvested to prevent exploits. Seeds can only be obtained from the melons and pumpkins themselves. If you kill the plant before it produces fruit, well...tough luck :)

That never made much sense in the first place. Thanks for changing that.

All in all, cheers mate! Looking forward to playing this.

[xou816]

An amazing release, as always! But this one is truly epic. Wow!
Thank you Flowerchild! :)
