I still have the old jar. In fact, I save my jars as far as 3 versions back. If you do decide to make an update while we are trickle-fed content from Mojang, by all means, go for it. I don't mind playing between multiple jars if I need to. :)

As I may have mentioned elsewhere, I started a new world for 1.8, but not just for 1.8. My brother had nagged me into installing TMI so he could build huge structures of mossy cobblestone and light blocks without any more effort that shift-clicking infini-stacks into his inventory. As a result, I wa...

What, you mean like Legend of Zelda?

I forgot about that bit, but essentially, yes. :)

That's both a ton of resources, and a hell of a lot of effort to build it. Compare to rigging up netherportals, which while they require a diamond pickaxe to build them netherside, are still pretty easy to put up, and the fact that the nether's honestly not that hard to travel through (And you can ...

To FC: Take your time with the next version, man. I wouldn't be upset if you took the opportunity to add a few small new features to BTW while making the conversion to 1.8(.x, etc) even if it means delaying the next release by a few days. I've taken the opportunity to start a new world, and though I...

I may be mistaken, but I think I was the one who originally asked you if I could toss some Paypal change your way, to buy you a beer in exchange for all of your wonderful work. Now that you are reconsidering the idea, let me simply say that the next time I find a few bucks sitting around with no bet...

I think to stop the annoying pot references, it might be a good idea to change hemp to flax: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flax It's used for fiber and cloth, and also is useful for making oil. I don't think that would be necessary, historically, hemp was used for centuries as rope and fabric, espec...

I haven't actually done any coding, but I have been considering trying my hand at some things. I have limited programming experience, provided by several programming courses I took in high school. (Two years of object-oriented C++, followed by a year of simple Java.) But this was some time ago, and ...

Hello, everyone! I'm ReDrew, and I've been using Better Than Wolves (on and off) since Minecraft version 1.4_01. In recent releases, I've been thrilled to see the work and thought that has gone into the newest features, and have found that BTW has replaced much of the functionality I had previously ...

Here are a couple of suggestions that I figure I will add to this thread: Wolf Chow - Feeding your wolves can be a bit costly, especially if you are trying to achieve maximum dung production. Since changes in the passive mob spawning algorithm were introduced in 1.6, controlling where pigs will spaw...
