What's new in v0.9h

  • If CraftGuide is found in the minecraft.jar, it will be patched so the
    guide key works on inventory screens and displays recipes involving the
    item under the cursor. I find it interesting the code was there all this
    time yet unable to execute due to a bug.
  • Added key shortcut for quick usage of /tell command for quick and
    hassle-free private messaging on servers. Default on R. It will open the
    chat with "/tell" + last told username.
  • Fixed possible server crash when loading a corrupted world where chest tile
    entity does not match the chest block.
  • Fixed problem with falling out of the world causing an infinite loop if
    gravestones are enabled.
  • Improved microblock preview: now it supports additional microblocks from
    add-ons and displays only when the block placement is not obstructed by
    player or other entities.
  • Added recipes for joining nether brick slabs and white cobble slabs into
    blocks.
  • Fixed problem where ladder couldn't be placed when standing in the same
    block even though the player did not intersect its collision box (MC-9704).
    This also allows placing microblocks when partially standing in the target
    block; the preview feature was adjusted accordingly.

How to install

  • Create a new folder
  • Put BTWTweak.jar in it
  • Put minecraft.jar (or minecraft_server.jar) with BTW already installed in it
  • Run BTWTweak.jar: double-click or use the command line: "java -jar BTWTweak.jar"
  • Select the file to patch in BTWTweak (for minecraft.jar: type "c" - press Enter)
  • If patch is successful, delete the original minecraft.jar and rename minecraft_tweak.jar to minecraft.jar
  • Use the patched minecraft.jar to play, enjoy!

Windows users: if double-clicking doesn't work for you:

  • uncheck WinRAR file association for .jar extension, and/or reinstall Java

Particular things to note

  • Before installing the tweak, make sure your cauldrons and crucibles don't contain any items, since the tweak reduces their inventory to 9 slots, your current items in there may irreversibly disappear.
  • Backup your worlds!
  • If playing on a server, both server and client must have this mod installed.

What's new in v0.9f

  • Limited chicken egg incubating to one at a time. No more happily hatching
    stacks of eggs, unless you build a whole room dedicated to that.
  • New hotbar cycling mode: fill empty slot. People who previously didn't
    like hotbar cycling may find this feature useful.
  • Increased the chance of flint from digging and filtering gravel as it felt
    way too rare. Also digging gravel has higher chance to drop a loose rock.
  • Extended block IDs! This means there is no more shortage of them and new
    blocks can be added freely. Thanks to Yhetti for pioneering the technique.
  • Made Soap blocks slippery. You will have to replace and recraft soap
    blocks you already have for this to take effect.
  • Added storage blocks for Wheat, Diamond Ingot, Coal, Charcoal, Coal Dust,
    Nethercoal, Sugar, Bone, Nitre, Potash, Ash, Flour (requires 9 of each).
    All of them can be retrieved by crafting back to items.
    Block of Bone can be only crafted by Hardcore Packing.
  • Added Block of Flesh, squishy block made of 9 Rotten Flesh by Hardcore
    Packing and uncrafted by hand.
  • Added Block of Sawdust, made of 16 Sawdust by Hardcore Packing and
    uncrafted by saw.
  • Added Block of Slime, sticky transparent block made of 9 slimeballs. Note
    that it doesn't affect piston mechanics like it does in later versions of
    Vanilla Minecraft.
  • Redstone and Lapis are now handled by Hardcore Packing, and all of the
    above storage blocks.
  • Added preview for microblocks: now you can see where your sidings,
    mouldings and corners will go.
  • Removed bone to glue recipe; bonemeal to glue ratio nerfed to 64 to 1.
  • If CraftGuide is found in the minecraft.jar, it will be patched so it will
    not display actual compass and clock data in its GUI.
  • Added support for IME input (MC-2781).

BTWTweak v0.9f for Better Than Wolves

What's new in v0.9f

  • Changed villagers to display newest offers in the beginning of the list
    rather than the end, to put an end to constant scrolling through offers.
  • Changed beds to not explode in other dimensions, so you can sleep in
    a bed anywhere now.
  • Changed chests to be placeable next to each other, regardless of any
    adjacent double chests. Single chests will be merged to double chests as
    before. This allows configurations (especially together with hoppers) that
    weren't possible before. Not being able to place a chest seemed like an
    arbitrary and awkward limitation. Placing a chest while sneaking allows to
    control which chest it combines with, or none at all.
  • Fixed chests, ender chests, wall signs, beds, beacons and cocoa beans so
    they display cracks while being harvested (MC-676).
  • Fixed kiln so it is able to display multiple cracked blocks at once.
  • Improved item frames: fixed items being dark (MC-7001), or off-center
    (MC-8662); framed maps now occupy full block, and label of a renamed item
    is displayed when looking at the frame.
  • Greatly reduced chance for scroll drop from ocelots, for balance
  • Added ability for wolves to respawn in forest biome (but not forest hills)
    like hostile mobs. This is mainly done to support long term servers, where
    no animals and wolves left for kilometers around. This feature can be
    turned off in BTWTweak.cfg.
  • Added hard-boiled eggs, made from raw eggs in a cauldron, and ability to
    hatch chicks from eggs placed on a padding block and immediately below an
    active light block.
  • Increased delay for seeds rooting themselves to 2 seconds
  • Changed explosion of stone and cobblestone so there is a small chance
    to drop a pile of gravel
  • Added item tooltips to see different unfired pottery and planter types
    more clearly
  • Made snow and ice blocks melt in more consistent manner: stay in dark,
    melt in light (skylight is ignored in cold biomes). Coincidentally, this
    also makes snow blocks let a little bit of light through.

How to install

  • Create a new folder
  • Put BTWTweak.jar in it

What's new in v0.9d

  • Backport correct tree tops textures
  • Add Sprint key, default to Left Ctrl. This required updating the settings
    page to a scrollable list, which was borrowed from Minecraft Forge.
  • Fix FC's oversight that caused mycelium and huge mushroom blocks display
    swirling True Sight particles, even though mobs cannot spawn on them
  • Added some visual explanation to Gloom.
  • Fixed writing table causing crash when used simultaneously in multiplayer,
    and possible duplicating of items.
  • Fixed /playtime command for multiplayer
  • Renamed Haste enchantment on boots to Velocity, not to confuse with the
    Haste beacon which increases mining speed.
  • Made loose rocks to cobblestone recipe shapeless
  • Added loose rocks and ender pearls to piston Hardcore Packing
  • Made sign posts accept unicode characters
  • Improved font display for latin and cyrillic scripts when unicode font
    is chosen. That includes a fix for wider characters.
  • Patcher now looks in its own directory in addition to
    "current working directory", as on some configurations the latter was
    defaulting to a wrong place.
  • Fixed problem with unicode characters when renaming
  • Removed the annoying inventory shift when player has effects/buffs.
    It was getting unbearable when running in and outside of a beacon range.

What's new in v0.9b

  • Added a whole bunch of items to regain renaming feature:
    Ink and Quill, crafted with glass bottle, feather and ink sac;
    Writing Table, crafted with paper and planks;
    Name Tags, created on the new Writing Table when there's
    no item to rename. Those tags can be used to name entities.
    Written Book recipe is also changed to require Ink and Quill.
    Writing Table requires Ink and Quill, Paper and 1 experience level.
  • Made Minecraft display BTW icon in the window title
  • Fixed vanilla issue (MC-190) with misaligned textures facing
    East and North on partial blocks
  • Made wooden and stone pickaxes not break instantly when attacking
    mobs; coincidentally, this also raises their normal uses to 2 and 7
    respectively, which helps balance against random and reduced
    output from breaking stone (in terms of cobblestone blocks)
  • New sling weapon is now required to throw rocks. It is crafted with
    a piece of cut tanned leather and two ropes on sides.
  • Thrown rocks now inflict variable damage according to their velocity.
    This makes slings more or less viable alternative to bows, albeit
    at the price of exhaustion and leather.

  • Fix crash when attempting to view Achievements
  • Fix vanilla bug (MC-881) with boats causing fall damage when
