Re: Primitive Technology (a full video guide to early game)

Yeah, I watch it first, then I read his blog post. This guy is awesome. There's also another channel that takes the same formula, they have some cool videos too, focusing on some other materials, like bamboo. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChUP6B_3zcdFYZnOdMM21og Here's another: https://www.youtub...

Re: [Mod] MapsOnGrids v1.0.0 (Aligned maps!)

FC already said that in this case, it's just fine to distribute his code if that's the only option, because it's just two small non-BTW related tweaks.

It's not that hard to fix, but without Caevin's source code, we'd have to rewrite the mod.

Re: Redstone can no longer be placed on upside down slabs?

I haven't opened up my established world, but now I'm scared to do so, because I use upside down slabs + redstone quite extensively.

Re: Version 4.AAAAAAAAAAHHHH Spoilers in Spoilers

Yeah, FC finally made surface lava a cool thing to find :D. I've been wanting a use for it for years now and now it's pretty much THE best find in early game. If you find either surface lava or bump into a higher-up lava source, use the fluid mechanics like you would with water to slowly expand it i...

Primitive Technology (a full video guide to early game)



I figured this guy needed a thread, since we talk about him so much in chat.

Re: No audio but mod is working

Looking at the launcher output log, I'm seeing a bunch of server 403s for Amazon AWS sound and music files. I had no sound at all; this fixed that problem. Thank you! For music, copy .minecraft\assets\virtual\legacy\music into .minecraft\resources\music Untested, but presumably .minecraft\assets\vi...

Re: Nether Fortress (Survival tip)

Be extremely careful when diging diagonal lines to make stairs. In a flat tunel lava is mannageable, lava flooding the entire stairs not so much. I should try that, I think I can handle it, as I start spamming blocks as I back off and I think you still run faster than lava, but that sounds tough in...

I'll release a version with proper logging, give me a few days to schedule it in. Hopefully that will tell us the problem, as I can't really test more on my end, i...

Just wanted to chime in and say it's not working for me either. I checked both the sites you linked and they both show the correct skin. Both with all my addons and MCPatcher 5.0.3, and with only BTW 4.A9b. Did you install it with MCPatcher or manually? I can't see how there would be an issue with ...

No, should be working with MCPatcher install, order doesn't even matter. Can you try manually putting it in the jar? Can you make sure this websi...

I updated the topic, as it seems like AWS is going to be shut down now. I currently just advise using my mod. It's by far the simplest way to make these skins work again.

Define "not work". It should work just fine, but everyone on the server will look like you. Are you experiencing something else?

Thanks for the heads up. I'll monitor it. Haven't heard anything about it being down permanently, but the fact that it does reply, but replies with access denied doesn't bode well.

If you can figure out some better numbers, my post still holds up, just recalculate the areas, etc. It's the ratios between the different tiers that we really need to figure out for strategies, to see if roads and safehouses are still viable, 3-way biome crossing navigation, necessity for nether por...

Re: Hardercore Spawn [Spoiler Thread]

Total guesswork, but it seems like the farthest someone spawned was about 4000 blocks out post-end. My guess is that making a nether portal makes the maximum spawn go to 3000 and then the end makes it go to 4000 Now what I'm wondering is if there's also a minimum distance from spawn, for example: - ...

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

Could we get a small change to furnaces so that if you accidentally add the fuel first, then the item, it still cooks? Right now, if you add fuel first, those first few ticks mean the item doesn't get cooked in the end. Feels a bit finicky.

Re: Legacy Skin Support mod - Fix your skins with a simple m

Thanks guys! Glad to see it's working.

The only things I can add to make it even smoother are a bit involved, so I'm going to hold off on any updates until this version has been thoroughly used.

Do tell me any small or large hickups, so I'm aware of potential things to fix.

Thank you so much for working on this! It works beautifully in singleplayer and was easy to use. (It took a while to show up in multiplayer, but now all is well.) Yeah, this is an unfortunate side effect with how naive 1.5.2 handles downloading skins. Newer versions of Minecraft fix this by keeping...
