Downloading this one seemed to fix the issue:

This worked wonderfully for me when doing a fresh install in Mac OS Sierra. Thanks!

Twas the comma that did me in! Thanks for all your help.

So somewhere between setting up my initial "BTW" 1.5.2 profile and opening the launcher the second time after following the instructions (including modifying and saving the .json file) the "Use Version:" option gets reset to "Use Latest Version" in said profile. I've st...

I got a "new" computer and installed MC via the official site's download link. Have always followed these instructions to the letter and never had issue, but now after going through the motions the game just launches as Vanilla. I have created a 1.5.2 profile and the name of that profile m...

Welp! There goes my productivity for the day :]

I see. I guess in the short-term, the solution for me is to make sure I've switched back to the vMC texture pack before logging out. Bit of a hassle, but worth it for this awesome TP :]

I've been continually experiencing an issue with this texture pack; if I log off with it active, I get the Black Screen when I try to log back in, this persists until I remove the TP folder from my library.

Am I the only one?

This is the kind of answer I was looking for. Thanks, Dave!

I don't see much talk of golden armor, weapons, and tools in BTW since the introduction of Redstone Latches, and I'm interested to hear if anyone has found a niche for these items?

Neat! Is that wheat farm irrigated? Also, what item in the Conquest TP makes the fur rug?

Experimenting with finding what my bare minimums are in terms of space and resources to get what I need for progression without limiting my fun too much. Also planning structures beforehand as not to waste time and resources in my survival world.

With a dramatic increase of bow usage, the vanilla arrow "bounce-back" visual glitch now much more of an annoyance.

I recently found my first "peasant" in an abandoned village. I was stoked at the possibility of getting wheat sooner than expected so I made protecting him my top priority. I set him up in one of the abandoned buildings (which I fortified) and started gathering materials to trade with him....

Are SFS beacons effected by range like other types of beacons?

The motivation for intentionally facilitating the maturation of Blight into its final form was removed, not Blight itself.

Thanks all :]

I won't pretend to know much about the functionality of the real-world variation... but I do know that having the roof slope down to the ground and having the main living area underground makes them cozy for cold, windy climates. In the context of Minecraft; having the actual living quarters below g...

The recent changes to HCwolves cost me my pre-cauldron settlement in my most recent world, and I wanted a chance to experience HChoofsies in early-game, so I've begun planning out my first house in my next world. It's based on a viking pithouse and utilizes some of the design elements I've been buil...

I was a day's journey from my base at original spawn when I installed this update. I arrived home to find my dogs had turned feral and eaten all my sheep and chickens.

HChoofsies made me want to start a new world, and HCwolves has given me a good enough reason to do so.

This change makes crafting/acquiring a bow & arrows earlier on much more appealing.

I like the change; makes sense you'd want range weaponry to hunt the largest and most powerful prey in Minecraft.

I'm out of town atm.

I'm sure I'm not the only one with wolves in their base that haven't been fed in ages; has anyone logged in after updating to find their wolves immediately feral, or is there a grace period?

The bakery is brilliant! I especially enjoyed the used of sidings & corners to create the appearance of an open gate.

What I want is flexibility – modular components which can be tweaked to reinforce my place as nature’s downtrodden underdog.

Translation: "I don't want the game to be more challenging/complex, I just want overpowered equipment that makes combat meaningless as quickly as possible."

The interior details are awesome. Well done!

I've come to realize I tend to plan building projects that are too large for my tech level, which leads to me wasting more resources than I need to, and also dying more than I need to, so I tried going tiny for my next pre-cauldron settlement... http://i.imgur.com/zu0cxP0.jpg :edit: Come to think of...
