I'm not entirely certain what the "safe" distance is for a nether portal, but out of an abundance of caution and / or paranoia, I keep my own portal beyond load distance. That's entirely unnecessary, I've found that more than about 32 blocks is fine. I usually go a little more than that t...

Okay, I could use some advice. https://imgur.com/ystAPJB.png The red is my nether portal Light blue is where my wolves are (underground) The purple is where I grind souls, and I bottle them just 5 blocks or so further off screen below the millstone in purple All of my wolves got infected. I bought t...

Red, Yellow, Green, White, and Black dye can be farmed reliably, the only thing you can't get is lapis so you're missing the dyes from that.

Better catch this live feed while it is up. https://youtu.be/aBr2kKAHN6M

Saw it live, it was completely incredible.

With my new world (really hard one, with a spawn on an island surround by jungle islands btw), I meet again with the doubt when it would be the best time to look for the nether fortress. Just got my diamond pickaxe, and with 4 extra diamonds mining on a mineshaft... =D I got sustainable (chicken-pu...

I was surprised that stump removers didn't give me the log I removed.

I’d like bat wings and arcane scrolls to be potentially sortable from a mob trap. Super minor but it’s the one imperfection in my current trap. My other main ideas were already mentioned. Better map making while sail boating, and some way to sort the one inventory you have opened (even if just by it...

I just breeded up a new butcher to be sure, but I'm fairly certain that Skull + Emerald -> Runed Skull only appears at Lvl 4. But at level 4 it doesn't grant XP, which is inconsistent with other trades that grant XP for the level they first appear on. https://i.imgur.com/ws4wKpO.png If this is by de...

Really interesting changes, in particular the villager stuff. I also like that one more death vector has an option to be avoided. The collapsing sand in the dessert is interesting, but I think it's nice that now when people die because of it they know they could have easily avoided it by walking car...

Regarding this thread: https://reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/7rr52d/are_you_aware_that_vanilla_mc_has_internal/ They claims it was in place since before 1.5.2. I never noticed it in BTW but one could easily overloook it. Anyone know for sure either way if it’s the case that village chunks with ...

In this video we finally get to fight the wither boss and hopefully we get to level up our priest!

Are you not running the latest version? You mentioned spawning the wither in the nether, which you can't do anymore.

Ah, that explains why my maps started behaving weird, looks like I had this add-on overwrite the BTW map file, it actually worked fine for a while, but once I used so many maps funky things started happening like old maps getting replaced with the newer map. Did the maps overwritten happen to conta...

exactly 9 blocks lie between the soul sand filter hopper and a block above the cow pen. Exactly 3 blocks exist between that block and the floor of the cow pen.

So... potentially 12, possibly 11 depending on the exact position of the cow in the pen, when I filter.

In the release thread , FC said -Added a couple of additional factors to not worry about. In particular, you should be entirely unconcerned when performing activities that might result in loose tormented and likely deranged souls meandering about, especially if you have high level villagers nearby w...

Version 4.A4 Kiloblock Boon of Better Than Wolves is ready for download! -Fixed problem that was causing Jungle Spiders to spawn in fewer numbers than they should have. You're welcome. In my new world I did make a few stupid dashes around the jungle for stuff, and was surprised how often I didn't g...

I'm starting up a new world and I'd like to get a nice mushroom farm up and going. But I'd also like to not die because of it. So a few questions, has anyone hammered out the ideal spacing between source mushrooms for a farm? Also, are the only options early game to do a lot of block breaking when y...

FC, what's that orangish block in your tower?

So two and a half years ago I took a stab at visualizing the BTW tech tree. After spending a few hours running some tests with the new trades in the new version I've made a new version, where I attempted to make it a lot more organized Here's The png file on imgur ( one on dropbox ), a pdf file , as...

Just tried boats for the first time, they are much slower! Now I'm considering whether I'm going to start construction on a bridge over this lake near my base, just walk around it every time, or boat through waiting until I can get a sail. Before I would have just boated back and forth every time wi...

So I (like many others) just started a new world, and I found the beginner's guide on the wiki, and while it's great, it was last edited in 2014, so there have been some substantial changes. I thought it would be helpful if we could come together and update it: http://sargunster.com/btw/index.php?ti...

I'd say just do it. If you want to add "a bunch of stuff", to me that's more than makes up for any possible negative to doing this.

This is awesome! Thanks FC. Can't wait to give it a shot. I only wish I had checked in 2 days ago when I had a few days off.

Try to delete the file option.txt inside the .minecraft folder and try again !

To find .minecraft folder write %appdata% in the search tab from windows bar and push enter

Thanks, but that doesn't seem to have fixed it.

I feel stupid, I'm normally quite adept at making this work but I must have screwed something up at some point because even though I got the alternative launcher download as described above, when I pick my BTW profile it crashes right after I hit play. Anyone have any idea where to start with troubl...
