Re: Are melons OP?

Alternative suggestion to nerfing melons: remove obtaining melon slices by crafting. If dropping melons from a significant height is the only way to turn them into a edible product, the portability of them is drastically dampened without affecting their stay at home benefits. Reducing the food value...

Re: The Potion Stand Sucks

I'm 100% onboard with getting rid of GUIs, and putting that in words actually gives me a thought: Removing the GUI might be enough. Just right clicking with water bottles to mount them, add a single brewing ingredient by right clicking(even with a stack) which causes a particle effect, when it ends ...

Re: The Potion Stand Sucks

Setting up an array of brewing stands certainly goes a long way to alleviating the tedium that is the brewing experience. I've found with four stands I can get a loop that brews twelve potions per iteration without much downtime... But it's still a sizeable timesink in the portion of the game where ...

Re: The Potion Stand Sucks

While I agree that potion brewing could have a potential upgrade, I find it hard to see a version of cauldron brewing that would fit in with the mod. Dumping all the ingredients into a cauldron is already how cooking is handled. Chalk this one up to my lack of imagination, but stirring is only a han...

Re: How to survive the night in the newest versions?

If you dig a piece of dirt without the proper tools, all the surrounding dirt will become loose dirt. Loose dirt is what's affected by gravity. As far as making shelter with this goes, if you want to dig a hidey hole you'll need to have deep enough dirt. No real way to check this from the surface. Y...

Re: Updated MCPatcher

I've had Better Grass on full blocks, so hearing that it isn't working out in the wild is curious... I'm using the following settings, can you recreate? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/547594925001277465/833028752400580608/2021-04-17_13.13.38.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/5475949...

Re: Igloos?

With the way colder biomes can take over some seeds, I've spent a fair bit of time in snow laden spots. I find being able to pick up snowballs is great for making slabs, and I've had a few occasions where I've built walls or foundations out of snow. Despite this, I've never tried building outwards w...

Re: Updated MCPatcher

You shouldn't need to do any of that business with the launcher_profiles.json anymore. This version of MCPatcher understands the current format, and might even choke on the old one. The bit about removing the downloads section of the version json file is still relevant, but that's because I forgot a...

Re: Updated MCPatcher

Shouldn't require any install of its own, just a working copy of java . Yep, MCPatcher.jar is the standalone program to patch minecraft. That's what you'll download and run.

With the legacy launcher being phased out, the easy tricks to get MCPatcher working again are going to get less and less easy. So I updated MCPatcher to work with the current launcher.

Bit of an odd one, but how about a small change to the titlescreen? For a while there was that big banner that prompted you to update to 1.6, and BTW strips that out entirely. I used to use this 'feature' as a way to check if I screwed anything up in the install at a glance. Now however, that banner...

Re: Fire aspect is an actively detrimental enchantment

Once you've got fire prot armour, it isn't so bad :)

But I'd actually like to see more 'curses' or negative enchantments on things, especially through the basic enchantment table where it's all random. Enchanting table super strong as is, and could use a nerf IMO
