Problem creating a Blood Wood Sapling

[WarChicken]

Ahoy there!

I'd like to ruin my Nether by letting a bloodwood tree grow over the whole area.
So I went to the BTW-Wiki to get the recepy.
It took me a while to get all four different types of sapling because I'm quite far away from both jungle and birch trees, but I finally got them.
Now the wiki states I need an additional Neter wart and a soul urn, which I have.

Now everything is to be put into an unstroked Stewing pot and then.... nothing happens.

So either I'm too dumb and have overread something obvious and important, or the Wiki states the wrong recepy or there's a bug in the current version (4.00) that prevents me from making my Blood Wood sapling.

Anyone have an Idea?

My guess: minecraft and btw hate you. Ive had similar problems before with different things. hopefully somone will come by with some info. I wish you good luck.

Are you using any other mods? Does this happen in both Single player and SMP? Those are both questions that will help us troubleshoot.
Your recipie is in line with the OP on MCF so i do not know what may be missing.

Moving to tech-support.

There is only one other MOD installed, and that's journey map.
But yeah, since it uses a slightly changed Modloader - maybe that's the cause. I'll try that and let you know in a few minutes.
Also Singleplayer only - didn't play BTW in SMP, yet.

@FlowerChild Sorry and thanks - I wasn't sure where exactly I should post that, so I used the general section.

EDIT:
So, I removed the JourneyMap mod and replaced the modified ModLoader with Risugamis original one.
Re-installed BTW 4.00 as well - no change.

I'll now delete the Minceraft.jar and install everything from scratch. I'll let you know how that turnes out.
EDIT2: Minecraft.net spazzes right now. I'm still trying to redownload...

[WarChicken]

So. Overnight the download finally worked.
But it didn't help. On my machine it just doesn't want to create a blood wood sapling :(

Anyone care to make one yourself and tell me exactly what you did to make it work?

[FlowerChild]

Post a picture of your Stewing Pot.

[WarChicken]

Okay.

This is my Stewing pot. 9 lit neterrack under the pot, all covered from the rain by a smal cobblestone hut:


And that is what's in the stewing pot:


Everything else works fine with that pot. I can make Dynamite from sand and gunpowder, cook food, tan leather. Everything except a Blood Wood sapling.

EDIT 2: Yeah scratch that, I was wrong... I don't know what it could be, I apologize if I was being misleading.

Did you try it in another stewing pot by any chance? I don't know if it would help, but it's worth a shot just to see if it's repeatable or a unique case.

[FlowerChild]

EDIT: Wait... the wiki says otherwise.... is my memory failing me?

Yes :)

Yep. I have a stroked Stewing pot, where I shut the bellows off and tested it there. Same outcome.
I even took the Pot to the nether to try it there. Nothing.

I'd really recommend a reinstall of the mod over a fresh copy of MC man. I can't see where this might be going wrong, and usually when that happens it's a result of someone's install being corrupt.

I'm not sure why that occurs from time to time, but it definitely does happen to people.

I'm not really familiar with that texture pack, but are you sure that is nether wart SEEDS and not the actual crop? I'm not sure if there is any legitimate way to obtain the crop itself, but from your pic it does look more like the plant. Just started up a new world with TMI and confirmed that the plant won't work, so that could be your problem.

[WarChicken]

Seed and crop is the same for Netherwarts.

Interesting thing - I started a new game in creative mode on the same install.
I quickly built a stewing pot and put in the saplings, the wart and the urn and - voala: it works.
Seems like my original savegame is corrupt somehow :/

Thanks for the effort everyone, tho.
I guess I'll quickly change to creative, deduct the materials and simply add that sapling this way.

Oooo...good call.

I like you already :)

Texture pack is Painterly, and you appear to be correct.

[FlowerChild]

@Warchicken: Given the above, I'd like to reemphasize the point about you using the netherwart plant instead of the seeds.

I have no idea how you got your hands on the plant (maybe silk touch or an inventory editor), but it *IS NOT* the same item as the seeds, and since as far as I know only the seeds can be legitimately harvested in game, THAT is what the recipe works with.

[WarChicken]

I'll verify that in a jiffy...

EDIT: Holy Porcupine Batman, you guys are right! I aquired the Netherwart using the /give command after getting stuck for three hours in the nether looking for a netherfortress and then not finding the exit again. Seems like it gave me juvenile warts. But I can grow them by just planting and harvesting them.

Very good catch eternalankh and sorry for me being dismissive about that so quickly.
And yes, RezDev, that's a Painterly Pack.

[HaloGamefreek]

WTF. Really you wasted everyones time for that?!? You couldnt just say outright that you cheated??!!?? If you just said that in the first place you wouldnt have stolen FlowerChild or anyone elses time. If you dont want to play legitimately then why not just play creative?

Chill out man. It was an honest mistake and he was nice about it.

[WarChicken]

Uh, Sorry Mr. HaloGameFreak.
You don't think I already learned my lesson here?

So just to clarify: I appreciate and am grateful for everyone that tried to help and I am really sorry it was a stupid mistake on my side in the end.
I didn't cheat, because I'm a cheating cheater who cheats all the time - I went on a wide search in the nether that returned nothing except me getting lost for several hours unable to find my portal again. That's where I gave up and cheated 8 Netherwarts once I was able to return. I could have simply cheated a whole forest of Blood Wood Saplings, but I wanted to keep it as legit as possible.

[HaloGamefreek]

I overreacted man. Im sorry. I understand the frustration. For me it seems that if I dont enter my portal right near a stronghold i never find one. I dont really like the in game commands. I havent fully accepted them yet and it bugged me that you didnt mention using them. All in all I think I came off a little strong...

[WarChicken]

No problem. We all have our strong and weak minutes.
Now, that I know that the /give command gives crap if I don't use the subitem value I'm not going to use it again either.
If I really positively must cheat something, what really rarely happenes, I'll just switch gamemode for a minute.
I did that earlier today, when I did some terraforming before starting a survival game, just to look if and how it works. Works like a charm.
