Quote from JojHeywood

"Oh, don't worry. As you're appart of the vocal minority we'll try our best to please just you. We value what you have to say".

You see, here's the problem with your, and everyone else's petty ranting.
What you're saying right now isn't going to help the mod go anywhere. Scottkillen has bent over backwards trying to make the mod not edit any base classes and still work with the limited knowledge of how the mojang biome code works. He tried to make the RPG expansion compatible with 2.0. but three things stopped him.

• The unexpected dropping out of TDWP-FTW. It was his own decision.
• The way TDWP coded some of the biomes made them hard (or impossible) to convert to non-class editing files.
• The team as a whole wanted to put out a mod what works and adds biomes.

One of your arguments is that most of the biomes you want are in the RPG expansion pack. But are you completely satisfied with the same six biomes vanilla generation has? Six biomes? Don't know if you've noticed but this adds at least ten unique biomes on it's own without the RPG expansion.

Oh, and incase you didn't notice, but Scott also made it so you can easily un-install the mod if you're not satisfied with it by dragging it out of your Mods folder. Don't diss it until you've tried it, and even then, Please don't come back begging for the RPG expansion to come back. Scott made an API you can make your own biomes with, with nice little instructions on how to use it.

Moaning on a thread to strangers you don't know isn't helping the development of the mod, yourself, or anyone else.

Quote from Locklear308

How Minecraft has became to Easy, and the reasons for it. (Compared to Alpha 1.26)

1.) Caves were less common, meaning you dug your own mines MORE often. It's not minecraft now, it's Cave Explorer Craft. If caves were super rare, you'd dig your own mines, which makes sense, because it is "mine" craft. When is the last time you dug your own mine? Chances are you didn't, or if you are like me, very few.

I agree to an extent, but caves increase the exploration value and are often quite small.

2.) Iron was NOT plentiful. You had to search and mine around for it, not just walk through a cave and come out with 64 iron. This made you treat it with respect, you didn't just make tons of iron tools all willy nilly like. This also made leather armor actually useful, since iron was hard to come by.

I agree. The spawnrate of Iron has gone up a lot since Beta 1.7 and is now too high. Finding iron used to be an event, but now it seems as common as coal was.

3.) Armor damage reduction was based on remaining durability, meaning as your armor took damage and lost durability, it protected you less, requiring more materials to make fresh armor more often, Now a set of iron will last you for several days to weeks. And it doesn't get weaker as it loses durability.

The durability thing didn't make much sense and was basically a glitch. Anyway, they've balanced out the armour in 1.1 now.

4.) Mobs were in greater numbers, and density, if you think a zombie is weak, your right. But 3 zombies, 2 skeletons and a creeper, in a small cave, that's no so easy anymore.

As far as I know aggressive mob spawnrates have not been altered. It's probably just because you're used to Minecraft now and find fighting easier.

5.) Food wasn't stack-able, now it is and you can auto heal, actually I like the food bar feature because it makes lots of food a necessity. But I will not say it makes it harder, it does make it easier. Food should NOT be stack-able.

Being able to regenerate health instantly was more difficult than taking two or three seconds to eat and then slowly regenerating your health? No. They had to balance it out. Perhaps, 64 is too much, but not making food stackable would be harsh.

Differences from Beta

1.) Beds had to be inside a secure house, you couldn't just stick one outside. Now you can just kill the mobs around, and sleep outside, ridiculous. It was once about building a shelter and surviving, but now you can sleep out side? Ruins the flow and feel of the game. Makes the "threat" from the outside world feel like a joke.

I agree to an extent, but the old system had so many glitches.

2.) It used to be the mine-craft thing, that you'd walk outside and get blown up by a creeper. So we made defenses against it. Now it's pointless, because that never happens but very rarely now.

I've often been blown up by Creepers right outside my house.

3.) Certain blocks took longer to mine, Obsidian, Redstone ore, Bricks, Stone Bricks, this made them "feel" more durable. Now everything mines a bit faster, which makes the game go along too quickly.

Mining these blocks was incredibly boring. I'm very glad of the changes.


While I do agree with some of your points, I think the main reason you find Minecraft easier is that you have become used to it and know the best way to kill mobs etc.

Note: Removing the block that you spawned on, and not placing a block back (So if there is no block on your spawn point) then dieing may spawn you elsewhere as it is too small to pick a spawn close by. So it will spawn you on the mainland, and it will be impossible to get back. Be careful! (This problem is fixed for the versions that are above this spoiler.)

"How do I keep my water from re-freezing?"

This is a very simple fix. To stop your water from re-freezing, as this is in a Tundra (snow) biome, simply place a block above your water source, or a torch next to the source. There are alternative downloads for the level.dat file, but this will eliminate a challenge and therefore you can't complete them all.

"How do I light a Nether portal without Flint & Steel?"

This is very simple to do, but it may take a few tries. The basic idea is to get your lava to light a piece of wood or something else flammable, and have the fire spread through the portal frame so it ignites, therefore activating it.
Step-by-step guide by iiTzWho

How to light the portal without Flint & Steel

It is actually really easy, if the wood burns out before it lights, try again

The rest will be in spoilers, each step in a separate spoiler


First Step

First, set up the portal (I wasn't in SkyBlock for this, therefor had 14 obsidian not 10)

Second

Set up the wood, and a little barrier so the lava doesn't go everywhere

Third

Place the lava down, let it catch fire to one of the planks, then grab it back up

Fourth

Both planks should be burning..

Fifth

The portal should be lit, if not - try again

Hope this helped somehow, good-luck with SkyBlock

TL;DR - Set up portal, put wood at base and back of portal, light wood at base, let it spread to back, BAM portal lit.

[*** WHAT IS BETTER THAN WOLVES? ***]

Better Than Wolves is a "total conversion". This differs from most mods that you are probably used to in that it changes many of the rules of play to provide a richer experience, rather than just adding in new stuff. What makes it special however, is that it always attempts to do so in a way that retains the original spirit of the game, perhaps even more so than the newer official releases.

It focuses both on challenging survival play, and player creativity in terms of never providing "magic block" solutions to in game problems. Instead, it provides basic tools and leaves it to the player to figure out how to use them to get the job done.

In short, Better Than Wolves is a vision of what Mincraft could have been, designed by a very serious player, for other like minded individuals.

Regarding use of my work..

I get a lot of PMs about using my work so I thought I'd clarify some things. You're free to use my work in any video, server, map or project as long as I get full and clear credit with a link to my thread. This means you can do what you want with it, as long as it is only distributed with that project. I just ask that you don't use it in any public texture pack mix, edited or not. Please don't PM me about permission for things, because I'll tell you the same thing you just read.

Update [5/7/2012]: Send all your fan edits, old version textures and other stuff to Zakristone so he may add them to the customizer!

Update [6/29/2012]: Dear servers using my texture pack, please give me credit for my work. Especially if you're going to edit it.

(Lookin' at you, A Song of Ice and Blood!)

I update and overhaull my texture pack a lot. I encourage users to take backups before updating their texture pack, because things change and some people don't always like them. If you have any old old old versions, I even encourage you to post them because I'm terrible at keeping old versions. It's fun to look back at old textures!

Sorry for all the words.


SMP's Revival Texture Pack by SMP is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License.

(Builds are from WesterosCraft, an awesome server that's recreating Westeros from Game of Thrones.)

In late 2009, I made a replacement leaf texture just because I was sick of the neon green leaves. This spiralled out of control as I realised there was always something I didn't like about another texture. This led to my first pack which I stupidly called SMP's Realistic. It wasn't realistic at all but HD textures weren't A Thing then and I was using colors pulled from photos.



Then someone figured out that you could make higher-res textures just by doubling the size of the texture file. The first thing I did was make a hideous photo realistic texture pack called 2Realistic (get it? GET IT?!). I canned that almost immediately though and made a regular 32x texture pack where everything ended up looking like a different colored sand. I called it...SMP's Texture Pack.



I'm not sure when it happened, but I made a really lazy 16x version of it for the Webhallen texture pack contest.



Around the same time, Doku released his first texture pack and it blew my mind. Actual pixel art, and it was awesome. I had the great idea to make a cartoony texture pack, and for the first time I ever, I didn't just abuse photoshop tools to ­ something out. Warning: the image below is terrible and will probably hurt to look at.



After some time I just gave up on Minecraft in general, discontinuing my pack and letting others take over it. For months I used a John Smith/DokuCraft mix pack I made, and around May '11 I decided to make a 16x mix pack too. It used textures from a bunch of different packs including painterly, quandary, eld and norsecraft. I don't have any pics of the original pack, but I do have this terrain.png from when I first started making my own replacements.



Then stuff and things happened, and this is the oldest version of Revival I can find. If you have an earlier version, please post it here so I can look back in nostalgia . Edit (5/21/12): Thanks to The Barinade for relinking the very first release of Revival! It's the second image below.



Very first release ever:
