Re: Hilarious fuckups

In a moment of brilliance, I just dug straight down into lava. Diamond pick, axe, shovel, and iron sword all into the drink along with a nice haul of resources from my branch mining. Go ahead...say it. I've got it coming :) I recently died in similar way (I didn't dig straight down but I dug a floo...

No, you got it wrong way around - it's theoretically finite but practically infinite. Minecraft world has limited size (and boundaries) but they are so huge it's pretty much impossible to reach them without cheating, see [link]

Re: Hardcore Spawn is finished

Don't worry FC, lot of players (including me, though not this time) have initial knee-jerk negative reaction to lot of your hardcore changes and while most of us learned to suppress it and actually try it before engaging in theoretical wankery it's not that easy. You really shouldn't take any negati...

Re: Question about challenge relative to other mods

The difference between TFC and BTW is how difficulty scales - BTW is hellishly difficult at the very start but steadily gets easier as you progress through the tech tree, TFC is easier to start off but it's still require ton of manual effort all the way up the tech tree.

Actually you should try simply deleting all wolves/pigs first. I had similar issue with zombies and after initial crazy spawning things seems to return back to normal.

Re: Hello it's only me...

Also few tips for this forum:
1. Don't post into suggestion forum. Unless you want to get banned. Just don't.
2. I you find something that you think is a bug post it into Tech Support instead of Bug Report section to make sure it's not installation error/vanilla Minecraft bug/a feature.

The sides of grass slab doesn't change with biome colors in your texture pack (it works with other texture packs so it's seems that it's not an installation problem).

In the case of the Hand Crank, your post served to remind me that I had originally balanced its hunger consumption to be significant *by vanilla rules*, and thus I obviously jacked it way up, since hunger is trivially easy to satisfy there. I think same applies to screws - 8 Iron per pump was OK in...

Re: Total Bisquit VLOG: Really stuck true for me

It the same thing FC is saying - if you don't like it, don't play it (or in TB's case, don't watch it). You can't please everyone so instead of listening to vocal whiners you should just make a quality content and your fanbase will stable.

IMO this can be used as a very eloquent explanation why FC acts the way he does and why it is good (and why 99% people with suggestion should shove them where sun don't shine).
