If i already have the mod installed and want to add the new sharks, do i have to install the entire mod again?
if you installed it the noob friendly way, i can't help. if you installed it via winrawr or 7-zip, just download the NEW .rar file, extract to folder, and redrag everything back into your program of choice. click yes to any overwrite boxes except for the properties file, unless you didnt change anything in the first one which dissallows certain mobs from spawning.
is there anyway to pick and choose which creatures i love your mod but sometimes i feel you get a bit excessesive if i could make where one or two horses one wraith and ogre all the birds and the warewolf and normal wolf and sharks i would be happy.
READ THE FORUM DAMNIT.
in .properties, there is a file you can edit to include or remove ANY mobs from the game of your choice. ****.
I warned you 3 times for harassing another player, I didn't even say I would kick or ban you.
4 times, and no harassment was pressent. i simply put on caps lock and told the kid towns were broken atm. if that's your idea of harassment, you're absolutley retarded.
You do realize you quoted someone that was arguing pro-balance, right? And your whole wall of text is one big fat irrelephant, right? We've gone over your "points" about a hundred times, and I don't think I'm exaggerating.
i think you should join me and change your name to "full time troll" or "resident forum dickhead", because you refise to change your outlook no matter who posts an opinion, or what the opinion is.
everyone is entitled to an opinion, and this thread is a POLL, simply ASKING PEOPLE what their opinion is. every idea posted goes as such:
poster: "opinion"
you: NO

see what i'm getting at?
you need to read over peopled ideas, stop being such a negative nancy, and when i come back from the liquor store in ten minutes from now, your couldy perception better have changed, because very few people on this forum appreciate how assheaded you're acting.
Jeez...You guys sound like Call of Duty players, arguing about "balance" and flaming each other.
Now, I've not been playing Minecraft for very long (or even very often, due to the fact that I'm living on Uni Campus and my laptop can't handle Minecraft - its that crap); but its clear to me that Minecraft's greatest appeal is FREEDOM and CREATIVITY. Its a Sanbox game, not an FPS or Hack & Slash - players are supposed to be able to do what they like in the game.
So what if they're able to use certain Game Mechanics to harvest items? They're playing the game in a way that is fun for them. I sure as hell wouldn't want to spend weeks on end killing Creepers & gathering sulphur to make enough TNT for whatever plans I have. We can farm animals in real life, so why not in Minecraft? (granted, Mob traps are a very Abstract way of representing this). I would rather spend X amount of hours building some kind of contraption to gather items, than simply grant them to myself using Console Commands etc.
How players play the game in Singleplayer doesn't affect others, so if you dislike certain practices, just don't do them. There really is no need to be so Totalitarian - demanding that other people play in a way that suits you, or demanding the game be changed to enforce conformity.
And the Multiplayer modes are not designed to be Competitive, so I don't know why people are getting so fixated on balancing the game mechanics. Its not like some other person being able to harvest exponential quantities of units is going to give them a Competitive edge or anything, because there is no competition (except in User created "modes").
Now, IMO some official PVP modes would be interesting, and in that case I can see the player with the most TNT etc having a unfair advantage over other players, but thats nothing that simple rules set by Admins couldn't fix. There really is no need to alter fundamental game mechanics to curb certain practices (except Griefing) in what is essentially a Creative & Cooperative Sandbox game.
Well, thats my two cents.
You're allowed to do anything you want in your game. This thread isn't about what you're allowed to do or how we can make it so that you can't do certain things. Freedom and creativity are what Minecraft is all about. The point of this thread is to discuss why mob farms are or aren't imbalanced in comparison to mob hunting. Sure people think certain methods of accomplishing tasks are more fun than others, but fun does not determine balance. It may give the illusion of a strong correlation, but in the end fun is not a factor.
this is a pretty good point.
i'm going to add that this thread was basically created by some douchebag that felt the need to start a flaming proxy war on the internet about something many people feel strongly about. who gives a flying **** if the main troll of the thread (you know who he is) thinks mob farms are imbalanced, its sandbox. nothing is wrong with the spawning algorithms at all, and i've actually tried it with more realistic spawning values, and it makes regularly obtaining the items such as string and gunpowder REALLY ****ING HARD. far harder than it should be. i'm talking maybe 20 mob drops in three hours of playing. i truly don't see why they should be removed or reconfigured, if you dont like it, stray away from all mob spawners and play the way you think it should be played. however, if you also feel like editing in 1398745 spawners and making a big ass machine, or even just using dark rooms, lava, and ladders, then go ahead! its a sandbox game, and we don't need some arrogant forum **** telling us how to play it.
Your welcome. The idea of a ride-able mob (read: BEAR) that could attack WHILE you attack to is AWESOME.
BRING ON THE OGRES!!
then we would need new weapons such as lances and spears, and npc villages to rape and pillage, and things you can make your army of bears pull like catapaults and battering rams...
Finally tame horses.
Get two to breed!
Yay my first horse, and it's a pack horse! :-)
Leave to go work the wheat I'm growing 20 blocks away.
Return to my horse breeding pen.
OMGWTFBBQ there's a pride of lions and a trio of bears in there eating my horses!
How did they get in??? Spawned in???
Rage.
Then sadness.
True story.
Of course, now the upside to this is that I have a pen of bears (they killed the lions).
The next most logical thing to do?
BREED THE BEARS. RIDE THEM. BEAR CALVARY. F*CK YEAH.
i was gonna rip on you for quoting your own post. but then i pictured the WORDS "BEAR CAVALRY" let alone the actual idea, and i was inspired.
then i pictured the bear cavalry, and jizzed everywhere and now my laptop is ruined. thanks.

if NOTHING makes them balanced, what the **** makes them imbalanced?
