Re: The Potion Stand Sucks

Since the block dispenser automatically cycles through its contents in order- would it make an appropriate solution to automating the brewing stand?

Re: A Message For The Community

Better than Wolves has had a place in my heart almost as long as I've played Minecraft. It was one of the first mods I installed, and one I came back too like an old friend. Your dev notes and perspective taught me a lot about game design and player behaviour. I hope these changes give you the peace...

Re: BTW Memories, 9th anniversary edition

I've played this mod on and off since the early days (b1.6? 1.7?), and its always stuck with me as an old favourite to come back to again and again. Discovering Harder-core Darkness was the moment for me; seeing the once vibrant world plunged into abyssal darkness was both eerily beautiful and deepl...

Re: Best way to get ghast tears late game?

As a general rule for any mob grinder in the Nether Spread groth all over the Nether- it'll force Ghast spawns into your dedicated spawn room. You'll have to be quite diligent and actively hunt about to ensure its spread to all areas around your farm. Full suit of soulforge and a few stacks of urns ...

Re: Does anyone else use stakes?

Seen stakes used a few times for aesthetics; they look pretty neat on the wall just below a flat roof, or forming the suspension cables on a bridge. Shafts (and axles) can make some neat posts/torch holders, and look can nice when placed vertically in a window (instead of glass). Haven't used them f...

A few names don't quite fit as well as the rest;

Redstone Latch renamed to Redstone Motus
(Latin for motion)

Getting 'Food Poisoning' from a jungle spider feels off- 'Jungle Fever' might fit better?

Re: The Feature Request / Suggestion Thread - LIMITED TIME O

HC spawning should also advance to dawn in SMP mode.
(only for a "true" HCS event, not soul mating, repeated deaths, or beacon respawns)

Fixes the cycle of death from HCS-ing at night, makes it consistant with SSP- and hopefully leads to a few more people killing each other.

Re: The Feature Request / Suggestion Thread - LIMITED TIME O

Anything for the nether would have to involve a fair bit of risk vs reward. Tunneling is one of the safest things to do in the nether that comes with its own set of rewards. You'll want to have something thats dangerous and/or tricky to collect. (Blaze rods are a good example; very useful to have, b...

A few pieces of stained glass would be very nice.
red/yellow/blue, from redstone/glowstone/lapis in the crucible
orange/green/purple and cyan/magenta.

Re: Form vs function in early-mid-late game

I normally go for some looks early on, its well worth the investment in a few luxurious glass windows and stone bricks. (sometimes starting on this before I have an iron tool)
Gonna be here a while, might as well make it look nice.

The inside is still a junk pile of everything and anything mind.

Re: Early wheat/seed

The hoe wouldn't gate the use of the wheat you found. Since you could just utilize the farmland in the village you got the wheat in. If you get wheat- making a hoe is easy as you quite often find iron ingots in dungeon loot. I think part of it is also that a large section of the players really like...
