Re: Camouflage.

Lol, totally forgot about the floating names. I probably should have made myself more clear, what I had in mind was rendering the player as a 1x2 stack of bricks, because editing the skin texture still leaves you with noticable shoulders/legs etc. But yeah I guess it's over ambitious, thanks for th...

Re: New Release! (BTW V3.71)

Great job on this update! I think switching it so that item form cobble no longer gets blasted into gravel was a great idea. I was already coming up with plans to explode a chest's worth of cobble into gravel, but in hindsight that would have been pretty unbalanced.

Horizontal Chest Item Addition

Sorry for the odd title, I couldn't really think of a better way to phrase it. Anyway, I think there should be a way to add items to chests the same way hoppers do, just I would like to do it horizontally. This would be great because you could completely hide your hoppers, and would also be an aesth...

Re: How are you setting up XP automation?

TaterBoy, your chicken grinding facility is inspirational. So inspirational, in fact, I may try to build one of my own. Just one question though, since your main breeding room is steadily growing, do you ever have problems with massive chicken related lag? It seems like you could end up with a LOT o...

Re: Starforge

I agree, this seems a little to ambitious to be real. It kind of builds everything everyone daydreamed about into a game, but then later realized it wasn't technically feasible. Even if they did get this working in single player, I have no idea where you could find a server that could maintain an in...

It's gorgeous! But I think you guys are right, whatever game uses this game will be just like Crysis in that it will be the trial by fire for whatever pitiful, not next-generation computer that tries to run the game.

Re: I am opposed to automation. Is this wrong?

I also personally like automating things in Minecraft / BTW because it cuts down on the amount of "chores" you need to do. I mean, sure, you could wait around your pottery wheel while it spins out two thousand urns, or you could spend some time building a shiny urn factory and let it make ...

And that's just if you have an ugly stack o' blocks with a windmill stuck on top for mechanical power and a large crat...

I've also got to agree with FlowerChild her...

Try this EXACTLY: 1. Back up your saves and delete the .minecraft folder. 2. Run Minecraft. 3. Re-download BTW from the MCF thread. 4. Re-download Modloader from the MCF thread. 5. Open up your Minecraft.jar with 7zip. (Sometimes WinRAR is buggy.). 6. Delete the META-INF folder from your Minecraft....

Re: Having Trouble with 3.6 Install

It looks like you might be adding BTW to the mods folder, not the minecraft jar. Or maybe (as said above) not using the CONTENTS of the MINECRAFT-JAR folder. Nope, I dropped the files into the Minecraft jar. And, as I have mentioned, the fresh download did not seem to contain a MINECRAFT-JAR folder...

Did you put the entire rar in or just the folder Minecraft-Jar? I assume you are asking if I just smacked the rar straight into the jar, which I didn't. I dragged and dropped all of its contents into my jar, like normal. The only different thing was the lack of folders within the jar, which is what...

All right, I tried one more install with a fresh jar, making sure I used all of your idiot-proofing steps, a fresh modloader, and a fresh BTW straight from the MCF. It crashed the exact same way. One thing I noticed, though, is that the fresh file from the mirror MCF links to doesn't have the folder...
