Question: BTW in mods folder

Post by phrost »

I was reinstalling my mods yesterday to latest versions, since 3/4 mods I use were updated and I noticed that BTW was the only one that still needed to be placed in a jar. I decided to do a little experiment and moved some files around to make BTW.zip to simply drop in mods folder. To my surprise everything worked, no crashes, all items are there, I tested the entities and everything seems to work just fine.

So here is my question, is it a problem to have BTW2.98 installed like that? Will I run into some problems eventually if its not inside minecraft.jar?

Yes, you will. The number of base-class changes (the ones that need to go in the jar) are decreasing as time goes on, but it's not free of them yet.

Thanks
