I have only one problem with this mod, the hardcore chests. Ender chests are quite expensive and time consuming to make so I think if someone worked hard to get the resources to make some they should earn the right to feel safe. It really isn't overpowered at all in anarchy servers since it takes alot to make it. If you think mob traps would make them easy to make well there is a problem with that. 1) you would need to get the resources to make one, 2) to control what spawns in your trap you would need a spawner and not many servers allow for moving and customizing of spawners, 3) you would need to protect your trap from people coming to steal your items. So again its alot of work to make ender chests so why make them pretty much useless?
1) The resources to make a mob trap aren't all that much, you get them from progressing through automation naturally.
2) Why do you need to control what spawns? Just get all of it?
3) You need to protect your entire base, why would it matter that it contains a mob trap?
They're 8 obsidian and an eye of ender. In my SMP world I have a few stacks of obsidian and a couple dozen ender eyes and a few stacks of blaze rods. This is not an expensive item.
It doesnt' really matter how expensive it is, it's value far exceeds no matter how expensive it is. Even if it was made with 16 steel blocks.
It makes you able to have a set of items that are IMPOSSIBLE to steal. Not just reallly hard, IMPOSSIBLE. It's a broken feature and anarchy servers shouldn't allow you to ever feel safe, regardless of how much you spend.
will hardcore mobs and spawning be togglable? i dont think if i will like them
I'm pretty sure there's an option in the config.

Let’s play good guys against bad guys… Yes. Let’s play that. Are you ready? You’re the bad guy. And when you’re bad, you just run. That’s fine right? Well… Shall we play?
Then you are likely doing it wrong somewhere. There are several videos and tutorials on how to properly use MC Patcher, including my own. The first half of the video is what you are looking for.

i know MCpatcher but when i use it whith BTW my mods just dont work anymore
You says "mods". I'm wondering if that was just a mistake, or if you're actually trying to run other mods with BTW. If you are, those other mods are likely the issue. BTW doesn't generally play well with other mods as it's designed to be played by itself.
First of all I want to say that I totally love this mod. It is one of the best mods I ever saw. But I try to do some modding myself and I want to have a block that is smaller, like the column and the pedestal. I tried some things, but I can't seem to figure out how to make it work. I hope that someone can help me.
I don't generally help people with modding as it would become way too much of a time-sink if I did. I'd recommend that you check out the "modification development" subforum and ask there, and hopefully someone will be able to lend you a hand.
First of all, hi and thank you for such an amazing mod. I've been playing BTW for ages and its by far my favorite minecraft modifier, so much that I created this forum account just to talk to you about it, not knowing if this will ever get to you, guess I'll just have to move on. Anyways, here is a list of things, suggestions if you'd like, that my friends told me to send to Notch, but lets face it, you should own minecraft, its nothing without you.
PS: I'll make it short so it won't bore you!
Technical - Programming Issues
The mod is highly incompatible with other mods, thats ok, we don't really need any other mods but I must BEG YOU to make it compatible with optifine. With so many automated stuff and a hundred cows, things can get pretty laggy so I'd also recomend lowering the particles and noises. But thats just cause my computer sucks.
Modifications, add-on and new itens
Really should-have stuff:
- Harvesters, I know we can automate most stuff but maybe we can make a harvester? I was thinking of something that runs on rails since they are highly useless in the vanilla game.
- Water-breathing suits, maybe a helmet of somekind attached to a pump and some tubes
- Cotton/Hemp clothing, if you dont feel like designing a new plant (cotton) maybe we could be able to spin hemp into clothes and die it. No real use, we just like the fun of wearing full pink armor.
- Wolf armor, dont need description for this one
(Kinda-lame) Stuff that you should consider:
- Add home-use/decoration stuff, why only wolves get to poo? =(
- Time Machine!, I know its absolutely crazy stuff, but as we develop technology it would be really really cool if we could travel to the ruins of an ancient civilization and learn new ways of development, maybe with new mobs? Droids or weird bugs would be acceptable
- A time traveler good-looking girl that knows her way with a sword/bow or gun. When you have 40~ wolves and a really big house, you start to feel like an old cat lady... Maybe she'd appear when you open a time portal.
Lame/Crazy stuff:
- Lava resisting gear (Obsidian maybe?)
- Home-porting or teleporting device
- Magic! Like soul urns summon ghasts (Great for multiplayer pranks \o/), maybe if we'd sacrifice some soul urns we could make a Soul atk or summon a temporary soul-wolf
- Control Panel, just something to power redstone or devices like pistons from far away, lets say I get home and want to turn all the lights off to seduce the time traveler girl to fight mobs, or if I want to automatically activate (or deactivate) the gear box thats attached to my windmill
Thats it! But can you just read the rest please?
See, the reason why I posted even the lame stuff, is because you handle the power level and cost of your creations, so well that I can simply trust you can make the crazy stuff look awesome and usefull instead of overpowered, please read and consider my suggestions, you are my favorite mod-maker and I'd love to contribute at least with some lame ideas for my favorite mod. Answer me if possible, I'll be waiting =)
NOTE: If you ever decide to use any of these ideas I am right now declaring that they are of public-use and you can have 100% of then without adding any reference to myself, its all yours buddy.
Umm, first, FlowerChild doesn't do well with suggestions.
Probably half the stuff you asked for can already be done in vanilla (potions and enchanting, you should try them out) or snapshots, and the other half does not fit into the scope of Minecraft or the mod at all. I wouldn't expect any of this to come around.

I don't know if he will even read it but, regardless, I was kinda hoping he added his little twists to the idea, what I said was just a clay block, let him shape it, or ignore it anyway he wants 2. I just wish he reads and considers it. But thanks for the info, I'll try not to make unescessary suggestions to him, its just that I've been playing this mod for milleniums and I'd really love to contribute more than just repeatedly downloading it. So I tought "Hey, at least share some ideas" and this is what came out =P

Thanks for answering
He will read it. He reads everything. However, his default reaction is, and I quote, "I do not want your ideas. They suck. Go away." These aren't bad ideas, but they aren't Better Than Wolves ideas.

May the Force be with you. Unless you're a troll, in which case, may the farce be with you.
Hello, first of all, this is a great mod. I have played it for quite a while. Best mod out there, if you ask me. One small issue though: When I try to stoke a stewing pot, it nearly finishes cooking the item, but stops right before it finishes. I played this mod back in 1.2.5 (just came back from a little break) and it worked fine. I have a turntable (set at the third notch) hooked up to a gearbox, which, of course, works the bellows. I would post a picture, but I don't know how. I have 9 hibachis under the stewing pot. Sorry, I am a little bad at explaining it, but you should get the gist from that. I play with my brother over LAN, if that makes a difference. Any solutions? Or am I the only person experiencing this? Sorry for the trouble, it's just been bothering me for a little bit. Thank you in advance
EDIT: Oh, forgot to mention I am using BTW V4.16 I have Elemental Creepers mod, Enhanced Pistons mod, and Rei's minimap, although I don't think the mods are doing it.

The timer you're using to pump your Bellows is likely too slow or too fast. The timing changed in a recent update to encourage the use of slower timers to help reduce bandwidth consumption in SMP.
Wow, Thanks for replying so fast. I tried to alter the timing of the bellows, but my redstone skills are something to be desired :\ I will keep trying though...Thanks!
EDIT: Turns out just adding another redstone torch to the turntable fixes the problem. I should have watched that video on the front page before posting :|

thanks its just that i like relaxed gameplay and hardcore spawning and mobs just sound to hardcore
