A public thank you (Warning, rambling)

Seeing as how I've been more of a quiet one around these forums, I felt compelled to give the forum a little public "thank you" -thread. But anyways: The first time I got around to stumbling around MCF in search for mods, I usually downloaded the really popular ones, by which I mean the mo...

Re: Tales of Woe: how has a feature of BTW killed your steve

I had a particularly annoying experience. I finally got the balls to turn on hc spawn and was actually doing pretty well (all sorts of iron tools, a good stock of leather and food 'n all) and decided to go caving for diamonds. After getting half a stack of torches or so I continued towards the third...

Re: Better Wolves Spoiler thread

Tinfoil hat time! Okay, at one point I met my untimely demise in my current world in the jaws of The Beast. I had three wolves with me at that time, two grown ups and one pup. Long story short, I was mining cobble and working my way to the second level of strata and got cornered by something growly...

Re: It's like a whole new game :)

I just started playing with all the HC modes enabled (due to the let's play Icy and FC did, it really made me want to experience BTW to it's fullest.) and I must say, I've never had so...little accomplished in the course of one MC day. And I freakin' love it. After I had gathered enough wood to buil...

Re: Better Wolves Spoiler thread

Did you have any other wolves at the time? I have the suspicion that the beast can infect your wolves either through howls or biting them. Or you may simply have a 1x1 hole he slipped into. As for the hungry wolves sitting next to each other i've noticed that to but I've heard so many of them surro...

Re: Better Wolves Spoiler thread

This is just speculation, but I thought if anyone else ran into something like this: I was goofin' around my dirt hut one night and got jumped by The Thing/Beast. I'm not 100% sure whether or not my base was completely airtight or so, but could the new ability that was added to the beast be *gulp* d...

Re: New Release! (BTW V4.84)

-Added a new ability to the beast. Once more in to the Wolfie Research Center! I hate to be the fly in the ointment, but I noticed that I can't make hearty stew. I'm pretty sure I checked it with every available meat product but still, no luck. I'm really glad for the chicken fix, though. Thanks, FC!

Re: Better Wolves Spoiler thread

So yeah, I finally managed to pull myself away from farming and other tinkering and decided to harvest some spruce logs...in the middle of the night... The howling is veeeeeeery eerie. After having my health drop down to three hearts and hearing five howls in a row I decided it was time to cover in ...

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

There needs to be a source of danger for water. Either fish, or hostile squid, SOMETHING. Even on Hardcore Vmc, it's a way to escape harm. Chasing zombie or creeper? Jump into the water. Accidentally pulled a Enderman? Take a swim! Agreed. Back in the day when I still played Mo' Creatures it felt r...

Re: New Release! (BTW V4.82) - NO SPOILERS!!!!

I really like the change in wood processing. Before, it felt like a sort of unnecessary drag if you were to use a saw in order to process some logs into planks so I just took the lazy route and used the magical crafting grid. I really don't want to use my tool durability on wood processing. Now to f...

Re: New Release! (BTW V4.80)

Love the new stone types. Gave me a real reason to build a mattock and to escalate my soul urn production. Now I just need a silk touch to pick those fuckers up. So, in short: thank you, FC, for yet another great update! Much appreciated and so forth.

Re: Skeleton, oh how I hate you! [Death Stories]

Yeah, I had a fun little run-in with a bunch of skele-bobs the other day. It was actually really exhilarating. I was just returning to my temporary camp after a day of scouting and the sun was setting. I was about 400 blocks away from the camp when the mobs started spawning. Long story short: I got ...

Re: New Release! (BTW V4.71)

I've had a ton of fun in this update. Love the new fishing. Never when I played the vanilla Minecraft did I feel like this when I found a temple, village or a nether fortress. The feeling of succession, the feeling that I actually got something done. And for the first time: fishing was actually fun ...

Re: New Release! (BTW V4.64)

Oh. Righto. Bummer.
By the way, it's somewhat ironic that with the 4.64 installed the wolves are actually pretty handy with the hc hunger etc. I've honestly never used wolves as companions due to the easy combat in vanilla. But now I do.

Re: New Release! (BTW V4.64)

Great update FC! Maybe a bit too hardcore for my liking but it'll grow on me eventually. Found a village that serves as my temporary base of operations until I can get my tech on. However, I noticed that I couldn't adjust the placement of sidings, mouldings or corners. Anyone else got the same probl...

Best of luck with the new project. It's funny how more and more things continuously pop on my waiting list. As if Californication, Boardwalk Empire and the new Fallout game weren't enough... Just take your time with this one and trust your own judgement and I reckon the majority will be satisfied. E...

Re: New Release! (BTW V4.32)

I gotta say that I like it when a mod gets updated so frequently and like always: great job, Flowerchild. The only bad thing I can say about this mod is that... I just can't go back to vanilla MC. Not sure if that's really a bad thing, though.
