The hopper has a borked renderer.

The hopper has some render issues: - incorrect lighting on the on all sides of the block when placed next to a wall. - incorrect texture offsets on the sides of the block, really noticeable when using a texturepack (which is the main reason for posting this.) - 30 wasted faces being rendered, though...

Re: What things should go into a 'BTW Quickstart Guide'?

Maybe a list of food items stating at what tech level they are available, how much hunger they replenish etc.

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

The fuss isn't that they added the feature into the game, really, it's the fact that with the time they used to add such a ridiculous feature that 95% of the playerbase won't even SEE much less use, they could have added something much more beneficial to the game. It's along the lines of opportunit...

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

See, you say that now, but we all know that popular demand will dictate that animal stacking becomes an Anvil feature in 1.5.2. No, we don't know actually. Here's what I think is going to happen. Either everyone is going to forget about this feature and you'll only see it every so often (like firew...

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

I think what you can compare this to is your health going from 20 to 200 (written as 20.0f for readability) and mob damage goes from 2 to 20 (or 2.0f). Allowing for more precise damage tweaks.

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

- A stack of 8 (looks like a full snow block) can still melt and wash away from water, same as other stack sizes. In other words; any stack size still behaves like a 1 high stack. A few more questions I have about it: - What do you get when breaking different sized piles? - Does that stack of 8 bec...

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

Kinda smoothly. This is the way Groth already works, but movement over its surface is a bit glitchy as a result. Hopefully now that Mojang has included this feature they'll be motivated to fix up the player movement code for that kind of thing, although I'm still uncertain as to how player collisio...

Re: Auto-Hardcore Melon Farm Design Yes or No?

Very nice build.
You can make it more compact by moving the piston up by 1 block and having it extend by putting a torch on the side of the detector block.

Re: [Add-On] Finer Than Wolves (WIP)

Correct, it's going to stay at the default texture resolution. I'm only going to add alternate models and perhaps change some particles.

how about "BTW - alternate visuals"?

Re: [Add-On] Finer Than Wolves (WIP)

I don't really like the name I gave this add-on. The name "Finer Than Wolves" means something along the line of "BTW visual upgrade". However the issue with "upgrade" is that it implies the add-on is an improvement over BTW and that completely up to personal preference....

Re: The BTW vs RP conflict: a historical approach

Some conflicts that I think should be proven or disproved:
1 - pumps / screw pumps.
2 - light sensor / detector block.
3 - creating stone bricks variants by running a liquid next to them. (RP functionality is explained in video: here)

The Eloraam bashing comments are inevitable. It's a good thing it's so close to the OP. However I do think that is should be pointed out in the OP that the purpose of this topic is to disprove the "BTW is ripping off RP" argument. Unfortunately, my understanding is that her blog has been m...

Re: [Add-On] Finer Than Wolves (WIP)

That is fantastic! At this current time there are only a few staple mods that I use, Modloader, BTW and MCPatcher's HD Fix. This particular style mod could very easily be part of that staple list.
