But how would you feel about it if it takes the form of a good looking girl (maybe in a red dress :) ) walking into a McDonalds or other forms of subtle manipulation that might not be so readily apparent for what they actually are? Advertising that isn't obviously advertising is a fair point. We ha...

I don't think this new technology will expose us to anymore advertising than we currently get. I would think, with the Hololens (or any similar thing), as with other technology, it would be based on requests, rather than forced service. By this I'm thinking something like the internet and web pages....

They've got demos for instructing (not quite an overlaid manual, but the same idea), and modeling items for 3-D printing according to this. (A Quick Trip to Mars and A Long Way Yet, respectively.)

Personally, I'll believe it when I see it. I think it's likely that it isn't actually Minecraft itself being shown, but rather a 3D model, so likewise. Based on some interviews/reports it'll have a mixture of practical and entertainment uses. Also, it won't be released to developers until this Spri...

If you scroll down a bit they have a picture with minecraft stuff. Seems neat. Thoughts?

Quite right.

I can understand the feeling :P

Out of curiosity, and other things, has anyone managed to tame a horse? I've got a couple tweaks in mind related to slightly easing their use over rough terrain (right now they are *much* more useful given a proper road). Of course, if anyone else uses horses for travel I'd be willing to hear feedba...

Uddza8W8bnM * May not actually be possible to do. With regards to taming and lowering a horse's aversion, perhaps consider that instead of them adapting to you you ought to adapt to them. Horses are awfully sensitive creatures you know, and ramming you is just their attempt at giving you a nice big...

I recommend a soothing bath in boiling hot water.

Horses love boiling water. Just like in animal farm.

Better Than Horses will likely work with both Lan and SMP, however I am not entirely sure on that. I'll check later tonight and update this post with the results.

EDIT: It definitely works on a server, though I'm not sure about Lan, though I don't really see any reason why it would not work.

New snapshot

To sum it up, spectator mode (sounds like what it is, just watching with no interaction), books that are copied say "copy of", and creatures can be ejected from minecarts through activator rails.

Right, threshing has been removed, as it is no longer relevant to the way horses function, and it wasn't encouraging automation or enhanced gameplay on its own.

This is why hay bales are no longer craftable as well, by the way.

If your minecraft.jar is not named as such you can run java -cp BetterThanHorses-0.3.jar btw.btw.install.Install -i nameOfJarHere. So in epsilon's case it would be java -cp BetterThanHorses-0.3.jar btw.bth.install.Install -i 1.5.2BTH.jar If you want to be sure that it is installed there are a few wa...

The hay block is block id 19 with a metadata of 1. (aka sponge)

Back when I had the worst of internets (making youtube unplayable), I would use keepvid.

It requires java, and java will complain because it's not signed, but so far as I can tell it's never caused me any problems.

I created a separate topic from the other BTH thread because as mentioned in that thread the plan was for it to be a development thread only. Anyways, BTH release 0.3 is available Snip -Flower Unfortunately, this version is incompatible with previous versions of BTH. Your worlds should be fine, but ...

I have an enderman trap here.

If you look at the section titled drop collection you can see how I managed the piston pushers.

Experimental new version here . This version is incompatible with previous versions installation wise, otherwise it should be fine. There are two ways of using this version, both require minecraft with BTW installed and BTH not installed. 1) Place the jar in the same directory as the "minecraft...

One of those rare times where it isn't insanity to try the same thing over and over, and expect a different result :P

Don't forget to keep it in your hotbar as much as possible. I've noticed a correlation between time spent anywhere else and occurrences of bad luck. Based on this I can only conclude that golden poo's luck derives from its shininess, and keeping it in your inventory constantly allows the player to c...

That's one of the player classes if I'm not mistaken. As such, it's pretty important, and I wouldn't bet on BTW working perfectly without it.

It might however, who knows.

This is the entrance to my base on the official server. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/98309451/Minecraft/Pictures/2013-07-21_20.53.58.png It's a piston door which prevents normal mobs from entering, while allowing the player to still see through to the other side via the fences in the middle. ...

Heh, I should time myself next time I die. I think I usually clock in at about 2 hours. (1 hour alternating between hunting/chopping and digging, and 1 hour straight up caving) I tried it out and managed to get an hour and three minutes from start to iron pick. The key is to always enable bonus che...
