This clearly indicates that the bug is associated with the Better Than Horses add-on, not with Better Than Wolves.

Re: Finding Villages

Sounds to me like you're doing everything right. A lot of it is just luck; in my case, I rather quickly found three desert temples and 2 villages, all of which easily fit on the same map. This was in spite of my incredibly inefficient methodology of exploration, where I seldom walked further than ha...

Keep your wits about you; there is at least one other mode of transmission as well!

Re: [SPOILERZ] Hardcore Villagers trading mechanics.

The requirement for a priest to get to level 4 has nothing to do with steel, so I'm not sure what you're referring to there. Mind posting a screenshot? I think you've misinterpreted me. To my understanding, getting a priest to level 4 is the only way to get Ender Eyes, and Ender Eyes are a requirem...

Have you ever read through an entire thread and wondered if people are even playing the same game as you? And then read through it again just to make sure?

If you place an infinite number of monkeys behind an infinite number of keyboards, give them an infinite amount of time, and then hook up all of the keyboards to the same typewriter... well, you'll probably break the typewriter.

Re: No rain sound on fast graphics

Create a creative world (or just one with cheats turned on) and use the weather command ie "/weather rain 1000" (not /toggledownfall as that creates thunderstorms, which as proven can be heard). Ah, okay. This I can verify. Indeed, regular, non-storm rain makes no sound on Fast graphics o...

Re: BTW server plugins? protection, lock - possible requests

Also, allow me to quickly dispel the notion that the command blocks themselves have anything at all to do with commands.

Or that a counter for anything could be trivially added without modifying the code where that thing happens. (Lucky for you, the counter you seek is already in the game.)

Re: Odd vs even

I think the majority of my planned builds are odd width, as oftentimes there's a key feature that I want on a central block (such as a hopper or other block with an inventory, or a water source). Railways also really only make sense in odd hallways (unless you're on SMP and need two lanes). Portals ...

I've been running tests too, and am unable to replicate this behavior for regular, non-environment-damaging causes of damage (i.e. a zombie or a dead weight). However, it does appear to occur if the anvil is destroyed (i.e. by a creeper). In contrast, this does not appear to happen to a regular craf...

netherquartz and lapis gaining usage in enchanting and more crafting looks like incentivised mining to me.

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

Well, I am confounded by the crafting recipes for the new stone types (yes, you can craft them). Mostly because of this: 1 Nether Quartz + 1 Diorite = 1 Granite 2 Nether Quartz + 2 Cobble = 2 Diorite Note that the diorite recipe requires twice as much input to produce... er, twice as much output.
