Though there are the tide of really really minor bugfixes too.

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion
Yeah, pretty much on both counts. Refusing to update also cuts the flow of new players coming to the mod to a small trickle.Stormweaver wrote: People not complaining about not being able to find old versions of BTW? :p

Having said that: like last time, I'm in no rush to update to 1.6. There's nothing in it that really interests me or which I feel benefits the mod.

Fuck yes. My number 1 annoyance in MC. If it fixes animals "growing" into walls when turning adults as well I am going to be one happy camper.Jens Bergensten @jeb_ 11m
Whee, it seems I've fixed the "animals escaping" bug that has been around since forever. It will have to wait until a 1.6.2 patch, though

I hear the new launcher further complicates making/using jarmods. Looks like Mojang is pushing for the plugin/mod thing as they have planned.Update: 1.6.1 has been released to the launcher.
Woho! It’s time for a Minecraft 1.6 pre-release! This release is dubbed the “Horse Update”, but has a lot of other features, too. Also note, as already stated on this blog a couple of times, this update requires a new launcher.

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion
And now they are doing some sort of online voodoo to post a message box which is annoying as the fact I have 1.6.1 in a profile via the new launcher. Doesn't seem to be a way to disable it.

https://twitter.com/Dinnerbone/status/3 ... 6973185025 Why of course! With all these resource pack changes, surely they are making good progress towards a Modding API? Oh wait, https://github.com/Mojang/Minecraft-API

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion
yeah, the new launcher is awful, I actually can't run BTW on it AT ALL (using the 1.5.2 profile ofc), since it redownloads a new jar every time I play.
well done mojang, you killed modding whilst you were making a modding API
on the plus side, BTW has reached the height of incompatability, it is no longer compatible with minecraft :D
edit: ok, apparently there is a way to use modded stuff with the new launcher:
1: create a folder in C:\Users\<your name here>\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\versions
2: give it a name (eg: BetterThanWolves)
3: copy a 1.5.2 jar into the folder, name the jar the same as the folder
4: copy a .JSON file into the folder, name it the same as the folder and the jar
5: open the .JSON file and find "id": "<something or other>"
6: change it to "id": "<whatever you called the folder>" (eg: "id": "BetterThanWolves")
7: install BTW as you would normally into the jar
8: open the launcher and create a new profile with the jar that you modded
9: play BTW and die many many times

Copy the 1.5.2 folder in %appdata%\.minecraft\versions, rename all files within that folder to match the folder name, and change all instances of '1.5.2' in the .json to match the folder name as well.Calcifire3691 wrote:I actually can't run BTW on it AT ALL (using the 1.5.2 profile ofc), since it redownloads a new jar every time I play.

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion
You can also is simply forgo the lame ass mojang launcher and simply use the amazing MultiMC.
Also at the risk of having my skin peeled off in tiny squares and having the exposed meat thoroughly salted, if you forget all the drama, the Technic launcher is.. well, it's not as good as MultiMC. But it does the job - better than the Mojangs launcher does at least. It also means that you don't have to install BTW on your wifes and kids, or your non-techy cousins who lives in a different statue you wanna play with computer manually.

I love how he also announces 1.6.2 the same day 1.6 comes out though. Guess that at least eliminates any possibility of me pulling a dumb move like updating to the initial 1.6 release :)

Alright, so, do I: Switch to the 1.6 launcher, switch to MultiMC, switch to the Technic Launcher, or just leave my ass planted on the old launcher for now?

I personally prefer MultiMC. It makes managing your instances a breeze. Really wouldn't touch the t launcher unless you need BTW installed on several computers or wanna play with someone who doesn't know how to install it himself.WeedFather wrote:Hah!

If this is true: https://twitter.com/minecraftcpw/status ... 6310254592 it kind of feels like they just tried to kill ModLoader, and I find it worrying some people seem to think base-class edits no longer being allowed to be a good thing.
EDIT: I stand corrected about ModLoader, and I am impressed.
