Episodes 2 and 3 are now live!

Episode 1 is now up! After our gruesome deaths in Episode 0 which resulted in both of us ending up at different spawns, we decided to start over and be a little bit more careful about fighting mobs

Razar51's and STATIC24's BTW Let's Play We decided to create a new let's play series as a response to the request for 4.65 Let's Plays. In this series, we aim to survive on an island and work our way up to the top of the tech tree. The videos will be posted on STATIC24's and my channel alternating ...

Cool, thinking of starting a lets play with one of my friends sometime within the next week. The plan is to see how difficult it is to survive with an island spawn. Tried that... It was really boring and involved a lot of fishing. Would not recommend it for a let's play. I always play BTW with an i...

That's cool as I likely won't be able to release until much later anyways ;) Also, when this is done doesn't really matter from my perspective. Could be a week from now as long as you're going in fresh and I get to see your initial reactions :) Cool, thinking of starting a lets play with one of my ...

I usually start all my worlds with an island spawn nowadays. I like the feel of having a limited land mass to work with. Also, it is handy to be surrounded by ocean with HCB, as I can build many contraptions early on in the water instead of having to build them deep underground or wait until I get t...

Nowadays I tend to play SSP exclusively on a map with an island spawn, so the only time I ever used a bed was to make it day to grow my initial hemp faster. Since I live on islands, it is fairly easy to light the entirety of the land up, so I never have to worry about mobs anyway and always just con...

I always place torches facing the opposite direction I am moving. This way the torches always point to the way out. For larger cave systems there could be some overlapping tunnels, but I can always follow the torches to an exit, even if it is not the quickest path there. For signalling to go up some...

-Changed (increased) the distance at which animals and villagers will continue to follow you if you're holding a tempting item. This is to help compensate for it being way more annoying to get them to follow you again in 1.3 if they lose interest, and to make transporting them long distances less a...

Maybe its there to indicate whether or not the server has been updated to 4.11 or is still on an older version? otherwise no need for the green/red/black option to be there.

I would be interested in joining as well if a spot opens up

-Added the Screw as a new item. -Added the Screw Pump as a new block. -Changed Hardcore Bucket mode to be on by default for the mod. With the addition of Screw Pumps, it is now the official mode of play for BTW, but may still be disabled through the mod config file if you have no concept of fun ;) ...

here's a small tutorial for monostables made out of only redstone (you can use pistons and BDs to make other versions)

here's my old version of a regular tree farm

I'm all for it, been dreaming of a multiplayer BTW server for quite some time now

Simply amazing! I've been awaiting the lens for some time now, tho I was convinced this new feature wouldn't be it.

This will make my contraptions MUCH easier, cleaner, and faster to build, and for that I thank you very much.

Normally, just stick it underground.

That's usually the way to go, if you end up with a few bits sticking out here and there, panels are your friend.

Nice. I won't be building dirt staircases to underground or floating bases anymore, just going to use a BD to get the grass. And I agree the new 4x4 crafting recipes will take some getting used to, but it should eliminate the headache of putting a recipe in the crafting table only to realize later t...

Wow, can't believe I never thought of this, quite a cheap and easy way to split items up! Good job.

My first BTW world i dig a 5 wide by 3 tall horizontal tunnel through a large mountain and put all of the tech and contraptions underground connected to the tunnel.(pre 1.8) My 2nd BTW world (1.8) was on a small collection of islands. I built a single windmill building where kept all the non-flammab...

Would running them through a hopper restart the despawn timer? If so, you can do that to avoid the despawn problem.

yes, but the flow would then drop 2 blocks instead of being horizontal

really? I apologize then I did not know that. I feel even more like an idiot now hehe.

Something I have been yearning for for a long time is a way to collect ice blocks.The reason for this is not to have water in the nether, but instead to create faster water sluices. When ice is used as the bottom of a sluice, the items in it will travel along much faster than when using any other bl...
