BWR: Revival!

Post by rockoutwill »

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!
I PRESENT TO YOU FOR YOUR VIEWING CONSUMPTION

Image

VERSION 0.30
This is basically the same as it was back then, but its been updated to use the latest version of BTW CE
an add-on for the Better Than Wolves mod for Minecraft that makes more resources renewable, obtainable, and/or available to extend endgame play, especially on custom
“challenge” maps that are resource-scarce, minimizing the need for changes in custom challenge maps to enjoy full BTW gameplay.
Our design goals are as follows
-Do not make any materials easier to obtain. Challenge/expense of renewable techniques should be higher than existing methods.
-Follow design goals of Better Than Wolves.
-Work with any existing vanilla and/or BTW map, i.e. do not break builds.
-This addon is now Client Compatible, but seeing as how it still does not directly add or remove anything to the world, if a server is hosting, you don't need to install the addon client side.

Current renewables:

Dirt
Spoiler
Show
There is a block introduced by BTW that is dirt-like and nutrient-rich, but unsuitable for planting due to a low pH;
rinse the acid out to leave dirt behind. Added heat speeds up the process
Clay
Spoiler
Show
Sand rinsed in acid is etched into finer clay particles. Heat speeds up the process.
Lilypads
Spoiler
Show
Lilypads can now grow on the highest level of flowing water, as well as on source blocks, so lilypad farming will work with HCB even when water is extremely scarce.
Lapis
Spoiler
Show
Lapis particles can be washed from the products of the genetic mutants that create it. A fine mineral powder will bond to the lapis and make it settle out of suspension.
Soul Sand
Spoiler
Show
Using sufficiently hard materials, infusion can be achieved, resulting in a block of soulsand and a burst of intense heat.
Take care not to attempt to infuse too much power into the sand as even the hardest materials can only contain so much energy before failing.
Lava
Spoiler
Show
Lava sources can be regenerated by introducing an appropriate material to the lava bed
Animal Crossbreeding
Spoiler
Show
When two animals of differing species love each other very much and the lighting is very poor and they're out of ther prospects to go home with when the bar closes down,
something that nature never intended might be born! Side effects may include fire, explosive death or cattle mutilation. Artfully creating a simulated
biome in a large volume around the confused couple can heavily influence the offspring.
Plant Crossbreeding
Spoiler
Show
Similar to sheep, any form of plant can be bred with sufficient dedication and research. Mutations will occur on
fertilized growth medium between plants of different species provided that all other growing requirements for that plant or fungus are met
Dead Shrubs
Spoiler
Show
Simply kill a plant of a similar shape to aquire a placeable dead shrub
Well Digging
Spoiler
Show
There may come a time in your life when the thirst becomes unimaginable. This is for you, if you dig sufficiently deep enough you might
just find a source of water, if there isn't room to power your pump, make a short pipe (the screw pump does not create a very powerful vaccuum)
Renewables in development
Spoiler
Show
End portal frame stones
Mob Spawners
Dragon Egg
Installation instructions:
install the same way you would any other addon for server or client!

Please refrain from posting spoilers in the open. If you wish to discuss research, please keep any specifics under spoiler tags. Remember that discovery is half the fun.
