Download Honkai Star Rail for FREE with my link here ➤ hoyo.link/c6ceFdBL Sorry for the bad upload schedule, I promise I'm ACTUALLY going to fix it this time. Also I am working on a big skyblock video, it's just taking a REALLY long time, but it will come out eventually :)
The way that the game went from "You need to spend several days worth of in-game time to get a wooden plank" to "You can literally castrate creepers so they don't explode anymore" is wild.
I guess it does compensate a bit on that front by "you HAVE to castrate creepers if you want your diamonds to do anything for you", which is another layer of farming.
@@AlexiSonic Far as I know, killing creepers does drop oysters regardless, might be a rarer drop (I don't have 100% clarity on this, I don't play mods that make me hate them) but the shears definitely make it easier. Like you don't need a pickaxe but having one is much better.
Jesus. That was a harrowing experience, I'm surprised the mod doesn't ask you to grow your own arms first and develop muscular strength before you try to punch a tree.
I think this mod could also do the food system a little better. Usually people don't need to eat 5 pieces of meat from a famished state to get full again. You only need one meal and perhaps some rest. Making a system out of that would definitely help the copious amount of foods you need to stay alive in this mod.
You have to think about your hunger bar more like the calories you still have left in your body. After all your organs start to fail if you fall to 0 instead of your stomach starting to rumble.
And I think the cooking system was a bit odd, especially in the beginning. A campfire goes out, so suddenly the food is completely uncooked again? Doesn't sound "realistic" to me.
@@tricmagic You eventually get that in the mod already. But you have to progress for it. It doesn't add any new base ingredient, but it has a bunch of foods you can prepare by combining them. For exaple a single porkchop and an egg craft into 2 ham and eggs, each of them restoring as much hunger as the single porkchop and egg by themselves. So you double your food supply. It's just about farming the separate resources. The best food, the hearty stew takes wheat, meat, carrots, potatoes and mushroms, a single item of each. and restores 6 hunches, more than half the bar in a single eating. and you get 5 of them per recipe. In the end, the point is not trying to be realistic. it's to create meaningfull gameplay progression. Any resemblances with reality are pure coincidences.
To be fair, it makes *some* sense. Diamonds are super hard and unmoving, so you'd likely need tremendous force (or highly advanced technology) to turn them into an ingot. And since a creeper's ability to explode is stored in the balls, that gives them the force they need to cover an iron ingot in diamond dust.
BtW really took a 90 degree turn. Originally it focused on adding features that were perceivably better than the wolves update. I can't remember most of it but hemp, windmills, and elevators come to mind. Now it's taking the TerraFirma Craft route of adding difficulty via "realism"
Nah it was like that from the very start, dude literally made the mod with the very egocentric view that Mojang was making Minecraft incorrectly and the only way to make it better was to dive full on into realism. It was honestly wild.
It really is funny how few of these “realistic” minecraft mods have anything at all to do with reality. The early game wood system in this is especially absurd.
RageTrain really did decide to take a break from grinding hundreds of Hours in Hypixel Skyblock to grind for a Crafting Table for even more Hours in Modded Minecraft lmfao
This mod isnt "difficult," it's tedious. This is such a common trend in "difficult" minecraft mods where they dont actually do anything other than make every normal task require 20 extra steps. Its not asking "can you do this" its asking "do you have the patience to do this."
On top of the fact that since it's an older version of minecraft, no information is actually given to you organically through the gameplay. Bringing it back to the "wiki is 110% mandatory" ages. I don't think anyone could do anything in this mod without any outside information at all.
if you think this mod is easy why don't you play this yourself, stop acting like your a pro... you probably cant even beat vanilla Minecraft yourself lmao
@@poopggslol8953 I've played this and several other things like it. I've fully completed Gregtech New Horizons before. It is objectively not difficult, and you don't even need to be a "pro" to succeed. You just need to have enough patience to deal with how boring and tedious it is.

@@kaide2759@kaide2759 just knowing about a really hard, famous mod pack that takes a really long time (only if you want 100% *all achievments/quest in the book* in BTW killing Ender dragon=100%) that you probably have not even touched doesn't make you have the right to say BTW, "isn't difficult."
Better than wolves is actually one of the oldest mods in the game. It was made in response to Minecraft 1.4 when wolves were added, and has been going since Beta 1.5, not release 1.5. That means it is a 12 year old mod. I definitely preferred it in its earlier days when it was more akin to what the create mod is now.
This mod is the edgelord of difficulty for the sake of being difficult, and the mod creator argues against constructive criticism regularly. You cant reliably feed animals, the animals dont respawn and when you DO find any, they get eaten by the undead and spiders. You also die in the dark for no reason at all.
The "Better Than Wolves" mod was created by Flowerchild on April 10th 2011, over 10 years ago. Flowerchild felt like minecraft. Was being utilized to its full potential and felt there were better alternatives than adding Wolves. To know this Mod is STILL being developed and updated to this day brings joy. If anyone wants a challenge, try it out! I never did play with the mod myself. There's a similar challenging mod, but it takes a more "primitive" and non-technological approach, try TerraFirmaCraft. One of my favorite challenge mods out there.
can confirm terrafirmacraft and its associated modpacks are GREAT, especially now that theres a bit of an inbuilt guidebook on how to get properly started. even having played through it several times before, it has great replayability due to how much your environment effects gameplay
Buddy this mod was made because flowerchild didn't like Mojang because they added wolves, hence the name. This isn't a challenge mod, he genuinely thought Minecraft needed to be this hard. Apparently regular Minecraft just wasn't realistic enough. Also, he's a big ego jerk. Don't get me wrong, this is a fun challenge nowadays, but back then the intent was different.
Personally I would have taken over that abandoned village, use some houses for farms for animals, and the actual farms as weat farms. Then use a big house as home, set up wooden walls around village so I have all I need at home.
Animals need to eat grass to survive (one cow needs about 16 blocks of space, the others smaller) so you'd need to make a dirt slab (which can grow grass) path from grass to where you want to put your animals. Wheat, meanwhile, can't be obtained until you find an inhabited village and steal theirs.
@@legostuffman512 That's such a pointless grind decision to gate wheat to finding an intact village. Sure you won't find a modern high yield cultivar in the woods, but neither will the villagers. They'd have the same shitty found-in-the-wild cultivar as you would be able to pick up off the literal ground in any grassy plain, or *maybe* a few % better yields if they've been there for more than a few generations.
@@dustinbrueggemann1875BTW is in apocaliptic word, there is no more Vilagers, all Vilagers are zombies on the start of the game, that's why finfing food is so hard, you are literally only alive person on the start of the game.
The part at 29:50 where you showed everything tedious of the mod was so smooth man, even if some of them were repeated a couple of times it's so smooth you can't even notice
100% agreed, it's what kept me interested throughout as well. There's so much stuff in this one I forgot how tedious a few of the things actually were, so it was kinda helpful. Loved the editing and everything about this as well, the work he put into this was well worth it
Rather than being hard, this modpack just seems extremely tedious and unfun. I understand having multiple intermediary steps for basic tasks, as well as the appeal of "realism," but no one wants to watch paint dry for 5 hours. You shouldn't need to punch a tree for 5 minutes just to get bark from it. It was fun to watch though thanks to your editing and commentary. Thank you for your sacrifice
There's a reason people enjoy brutally hard challenges. Whether it's the one nether survival challenge I did pre-nether update, a minecraft mod, or whatever else there's a type of triumph you can only get with intentionally hostile design. For example, in my old nether survival challenge finding a bowl in a fortress chest opened up a whole new food source to me when I had been punching zombie pigman for rotten flesh. Each piece of obsidian was a treasure trove, fending off wither skeletons had to be done with my limited supply of soul sand because my only other block was gravel. It's not everyone's cup of tea but it was good fun for me😂 I mean, that's why multiplayer competitive games are fun too right? Your competitors are other players so there's always a real challenge.
There is a sort of rarity system in the game, it's just really dumb and makes little to no sense. It's also never explained. But ye from what I remember, white is commen, yellow is uncommon, blue is rare and purple is epic.
It makes sense. For food to be fully cooked it needs to get rid of all of the germs, which requires a certain internal temperature. Letting the food cool back down before reaching that temperature let’s the bacteria survive
I remember when this mod came out! It was a protest over adding wolves to the game, which the creator thought was pointless. Interesting to see it's still being updated.
I personally think that this just conpletely missed the point of Minecraft being a sandbox game first at the time, but even then, I do respect the effort put into making the mod.
It wasn't quite that he thought they were pointless; it was that making fully-featured pets would require an inordinate amount of developer effort compared to all the lower hanging fruit available. For example, if bad pathfinding causes a zombie to walk into a lava flow and die; it's just funny. But if it's the player's dog that does it, now they're mad at the game. So making the dog work requires improving pathfinding, etc. etc. and the whole feature ends up taking months or just releases half-baked (like wolves did). On the other hand, the Block Dispenser he added in the original mod took him a day's work and adds a huge amount of redstone gameplay. Hence it was "Better than Wolves" in terms of developer efficiency.
As the saying goes when you don't learn from history you're doomed to repeat it. The repetition will continue for as long as the learning process takes to kick in.
Ah, Better than Wolves. I _adored_ it's approach to mechanisms and tech back in the day, which I can only describe as "cellular automata as infrastructure," but aside from bits here and there like the changes to the health and hunger system and revamped potions, the early game changes eventually soured it for me. I feel like it makes the mistake of giving players a defined route of progression, rather than giving a series of problems and solutions to those problems.
The Same thing happened to me. I loved the mechanical tech the mod adds but eventually it just got to be too tedious to get to the point where you could actually use any of it.
It definitely is focused. But there's also choice to it. Like the choice of what to spend your first iron ingots. An iron pickaxe would make it easier to find more iron, but an iron axe will give you far more storage, allowing you to clear your inventory and save important resources in case you die, the shears not only protect you from creepers and give you string, but you can also double your leather for making better armor. And the Hoe is imporant too, since hemp is the basic material for all of the mechanical machines in the mod and it takes some time to grow. The extra seeds can also be used to start a chicken coop and farm eggs. The order in wich you do theese things can affect your playtrough, but it's not so clearcut than there's an obvious choice. But that being said. It is really clear that the author made the mod to make the game he personally wanted to play in the playstyle he wanted to play.
There is some branch in this technology tree that allow you to differ you're gameplay in some way. Like, I never seen someone have so much iron without a chiken farm.
Yeah it's very stiff in the early game. If you only get cows as animals, you'll die from a kick in the head or starvation. If you jump 1 too many times on the first day, you die of starvation. If you spawn in the desert with no trees and 100 pigs stuck in a corner waiting to be slaughtered, you die of starvation cuz no campfire lmao. If you survive starvation, day 2 will present the same challenges as day 1 if you only focused on not starving (like you're supposed to). The early game is: Day 1: find food, dig/find shelter to fortify with dirt slabs, find wood, don't take any damage or move too much. Day 2: same as day 1, but now you gotta find clay, and create an area where the wet bricks won't be stepped on. sprinkle some stone shenanigans in there if you feel comfortable doing so. Day 3: literally the exact same thing, just like the next few days. When you eventually get a brick oven, that's when gameplay starts and you have some incentive to look for iron. Extremely stiff, no variation, because variation = near guaranteed death.
Better Than Wolves go back even further than 2013, my man. It was a technology mod originally released in Minecraft *Beta 1.4*, back in 2011, and it's called that because when wolves were introduced in this update, they felt a bit underwhelming to some players, so one guy, FlowerChild, decided to make a whole mod of things he and the rest of the community deemed "better than wolves" and wished were in the game instead of just wolves. Originally, this mod introduced windmills and water wheels way before the Create mod was ever even conceived, and you could grind wheat into flour in it to then make bread, you could make steel tools, that were slighty better than iron and worse than diamonds, you could make elevators, cement, ropes, coal made from netherrack, donuts, etc. You could even make a frickin -weed- hemp farm! This is a standalone mod, so it's not compatible with Forge, but there is a version called Better With Mods that IS compatible with Forge. It's also a total conversion mod, meaning it completely overhalls aspects of the game. Yogscast once did an video covering this mod ages ago when it first released. It's nice to see how far the game has changed.
Jesus man! I was reading your comment and thinking "huh, crafting flour from windmills and water wheels" and then some neurons started synapsing in my brain and then you said Yogscast and holy shit. I watched that video when it was only a year old and I was only 11 years old. That was my introduction to Minecraft mods and more importantly, to the Yogscast. From there I watched their Tekkit series, got into other modpacks, played Feed The Beast and a few other packs. Like holy shit, entire years of my childhood were catalyzed by their better than wolves mod spotlight. Thank you for reminding me of that!
It saddens me to see what this mod has become since the last time I played it. It has gone from a bit more challenging technological mod to pure unadultered tedium.
this mod reminds me of those Primitive Technology videos, where one dude is testing out all these cool building and smelting methods ancient people used, and every time I see those videos I think, this would be so much better with a group of people working together rather than one dude going at it alone. it's just such a tedious grind, and the more you do, the more you need to do, so it's impossible to make practical progress cause sometimes you chokepoint yourself, like with needing to building more ovens and then watch those ovens, you could have had other people helping get food, get wood, make other tools, and explore. doing it all by yourself is painful.
Nah. Out of all those other clones, Primitive Technology is actually the original and the most authentic when it comes to the methods and primitive technology.
tbh i dont like how minecraft mods handle difficulty, insteal of actually making it more challenging they just make minecraft more tedious and annoying and time consuming, its not hard its just annoying and takes longer, there isn't any real skill required. Minecraft hardcore did it best with the perma death feature which added more risk and danger but not making the gamemode annoying or tedious
The hardest part of any minecraft world is literally the beginning. Getting started. Once you have unlimited resources and enchanted armor and weapons, the game gets significantly easier. The mod takes that beginning grind to a whole new level.
Amazing video. Looking forward to see the next episode! here's some tips for if you continue this series(and helpful for people who watch this vid and are excited to try: - the looted desert temple has actual chests at the bottom that you can harvest with the iron axe :) - you can use control button to place tools into blocks and save inventory space - sharp stones don't actually do more damage(the tool doesn't take damage, its like empty hand) but you can craft a wooden club with 2 sticks
Wanna good tip? dont waste your time with wicker backet if you want place 1 item like fishing rod, use instead item frame with only need 1 leather and 8 sticks :D
@@GokuLSSJ5 yeah good tip as well! Baskets and hampers are best for storing single stacks, most tools can be placed with control and shears and fishing rod can be hung on the wall with an item frame
Honestly tho, I think this mod does a really good job of illustratint why cooperation was so important back in the stone age days-you can't help but think "Man, this would be SO much easier if I had a person to go out and hunt for me so I wouldn't have to worry about it!". The dedicated hunter/gatherer existed because it freed up everyone else to do other important things!
I saw a quick video of this mod that said part one that came out a year ago and had no part 2 so im so glad someone is playing this mod, and someone I enjoy watching too! love the content and hope you enjoy this mod
Bro kept leaving the fire after putting like one stick on it and then coming back all “oh no all my progress 😮😮 better put another stick on there and leave again. That’ll do it for sure this time.” Like bro
what i dont get about the mod is that it goes so far with realism just to give up at random... like, getting pieces of wood and stone is realistic, spending hunger for things is realistic but:completely dark nights, having to eat 4 full cpurses to heal 1 hunger bar, not being able to see the sky darkening to predict rain, having clay not melt/break when smelting iron, only being able to store 1 item ber basket, and more are not realistic at all Edit: idk why i tought my preferences made it bad. I still dotn like it, mostly because of the creator's attitude toward wolves, which are like, nothing.
@@SmokeFactory You can do realism and magic atthe same time. If they were exclusove to one another then every non-documentary would instead just be lord of the rings 76. Its just that they go so far with mechanics that seem to only be added for realism, only to give up at random. Tell me, what other reason could they have for making you have to sit there and knit for a long time? What other reason could they have for making every change in this mod? Difficulty? Ok, but then why stop there yk?
@@door-chan I thought this was obvious but it seems people didn't get it. THAT'S why it forces you sit there knitting for a minute lol. It's a patience testing rage mod
I think the way that this mod goes about progress is really interesting, except for its unnecessary tediousness. I believe that if the time it takes to complete some of the lengthier actions were reduced to more reasonable duration, this mod could become a way more realistic and rewarding version of Minecraft.
So do I! No pistons? It was halfway to being a technical mod back in the day! I remember that video especially because it was the first time I wanted to download a Minecraft mod, since it genuinely felt very part of the game. This new one does too, for very different reasons.
@@ABanimationLtd I wouldn't call the windmill late-game. It's jsut that the early game is much more longer. But the mid game is also quite long, and while the end game is not fully defined, there's still much to do and build in it.
Bruh your patience is absolutely legendary - I binged this and some of your other videos recently and it’s amazing how high quality your vids are. Like “yeah imma basically just COMPLETE hypixel” and actually following through with 3k hours is WILD. Great stuff ^^
I used to love the mod, even when it started making early game more difficult. But at some point it just got so tedious and punishing I dropped it. A while ago I did go back to it, I think there was either a update/mod that reenabled beds. Tedious nights could get skipped again, and the night gets simulated. I kinda want to give it a try now again.
This is very accurate to human history, struggling with cooking food, then advancing to stone tool and being able to use your resources to your advantage, to interdimensional travel
The most accurate part is being unable to eat fresh raw kills and waiting for a full literal night for one steak to cook on a campfire. Seriously this mod mistakes time wasting with difficulty

@@the_Datanathis video is pretty suspicious, but randomly finding an iron sword/shovel is actually not that uncommon in BtW, because mobs have an 100% drop rate on armor and hand items (except skeleton bows)

The moment he got the planks i got a massive hit of euphoria because in my eyes that is more op than it seems in normal minecraft due to this mod 35:56
I'd make it so that the basic furnace can't smelt iron, its not hot enough. But you can get copper (and maybe tin and a couple other rare earth metals) and the basic furnace can smelt those. You can then make copper tools, and bronze tools, and you can then make a blast furnace that has bellows which you need to right click, which CAN smelt iron.
ok so one slight correction to 0:19, this mods development goes quite a bit before 2013. Its earliest development was seen in 2010, with the first known video about it being made in 2011 by the Yogscast. Its also pretty likely that a lot of the features from the original mod would go to inspire the Create mod
I love the knitting aspect for clothes/armor and it makes sense for it to take ages at the start, I think the more you knit the faster it should go maybe. I dunno bruh, epic video tho, very interesting
this mod made me experience existential dread. I played for 3 hours yesterday and achieved nothing, couldn't make it past day 3, even in relaxed mode. in my last run, I picked a bad spot to dig and ended up picking away at a single block of stone all night long. then, I broke the block of dirt above it hoping to have a 1-block roof over my head. the block above that one fell right in front of me, putting me in the exact same situation. I compared this situation to my entire life and had an existential crisis.

Up to this point, Better Than Wolves remained to a niche audience solely for those looking for “the Minecraft that should’ve been,” but now, after a baker’s dozen years and a decade after the Microsoft buyout, BTW is finally starting to gain real traction. With the realization coming that the vanilla game wasn’t all that cracked up to be after all, a revolution is just around the corner, boys. Thanks for keeping this trend going, my dude. #ForBetterThanWolves #Minecraft
Looking forward to more videos of this! Better than Wolves' progression is incredible as you slowly claw your way up from powerless weakling hiding in holes in the ground to becoming undisputed lord of the world. Every milestone along the way makes you feel so overpowered.
Hey, great to see someone who recognizes that this is a singular mod, instead of associating all modded Minecraft with 'modpack'! Also not playing in Hardcore is a great choice, so you can actually experience the mod as intended.

Have you considered Gigeresque Mod? It is one of the most Underrated, yet Scariest mod out there. With the Xenomorph and the structure it adds, alongside plenty of mechanics, it is one refined horror mod. You should give it a shot. :)

Truth is, this mod isn't really hard as much as it's boring. It's not that different from these mobile games that will force you to wait hours to do even the simplest of actions. Games will often do that mistake of making things take longer to do or increase hp of enemies and turn them into bullet sponges and then call that "hard" when in reality it's just time consuming and frustrating.
18:45 I like how you call that out as being sus but the random iron sword at the beginning is not. I know that zombies can drop iron swords they are holding and it was nearly broken so most likely that’s what happened, but still, I like how the sugar cane is the thing your worried about being called sus over lol
I haven't played BTW since the difficulty of the early game ramped up past the point where I found it fun, but it's great to see it again! I hope you enjoy!

I think this mod could also do the food system a little better. Usually people don't need to eat 5 pieces of meat from a famished state to get full again. You only need one meal and perhaps some rest. Making a system out of that would definitely help the copious amount of foods you need to stay alive in this mod.
it was 2012 then you ate like 10 burgers and your still not full
Pam's Harvestcraft where you craft meals would be better. Even something as simple as meat and potatos cooked over a campfire.
You have to think about your hunger bar more like the calories you still have left in your body. After all your organs start to fail if you fall to 0 instead of your stomach starting to rumble.
And I think the cooking system was a bit odd, especially in the beginning. A campfire goes out, so suddenly the food is completely uncooked again? Doesn't sound "realistic" to me.
@@tricmagic You eventually get that in the mod already. But you have to progress for it. It doesn't add any new base ingredient, but it has a bunch of foods you can prepare by combining them. For exaple a single porkchop and an egg craft into 2 ham and eggs, each of them restoring as much hunger as the single porkchop and egg by themselves. So you double your food supply. It's just about farming the separate resources. The best food, the hearty stew takes wheat, meat, carrots, potatoes and mushroms, a single item of each. and restores 6 hunches, more than half the bar in a single eating. and you get 5 of them per recipe.
In the end, the point is not trying to be realistic. it's to create meaningfull gameplay progression. Any resemblances with reality are pure coincidences.

It gets worse if youre watching tdl’s runs of it (with M.E.A)
shits just unnecessarily grindy towards mid/late game to make it “harder”
To be fair, it makes *some* sense.
Diamonds are super hard and unmoving, so you'd likely need tremendous force (or highly advanced technology) to turn them into an ingot. And since a creeper's ability to explode is stored in the balls, that gives them the force they need to cover an iron ingot in diamond dust.
ok
THAT'S WHAT IM SAYING@@Zendyes_
BtW really took a 90 degree turn. Originally it focused on adding features that were perceivably better than the wolves update. I can't remember most of it but hemp, windmills, and elevators come to mind. Now it's taking the TerraFirma Craft route of adding difficulty via "realism"
Nah it was like that from the very start, dude literally made the mod with the very egocentric view that Mojang was making Minecraft incorrectly and the only way to make it better was to dive full on into realism.
It was honestly wild.
It really is funny how few of these “realistic” minecraft mods have anything at all to do with reality. The early game wood system in this is especially absurd.

@@Peastable VintageStory kinda embraces that. It's not a mod but it started as one

This mod isnt "difficult," it's tedious. This is such a common trend in "difficult" minecraft mods where they dont actually do anything other than make every normal task require 20 extra steps. Its not asking "can you do this" its asking "do you have the patience to do this."
On top of the fact that since it's an older version of minecraft, no information is actually given to you organically through the gameplay. Bringing it back to the "wiki is 110% mandatory" ages. I don't think anyone could do anything in this mod without any outside information at all.
if you think this mod is easy why don't you play this yourself, stop acting like your a pro... you probably cant even beat vanilla Minecraft yourself lmao
@@poopggslol8953 I've played this and several other things like it. I've fully completed Gregtech New Horizons before. It is objectively not difficult, and you don't even need to be a "pro" to succeed. You just need to have enough patience to deal with how boring and tedious it is.

Better than wolves is actually one of the oldest mods in the game. It was made in response to Minecraft 1.4 when wolves were added, and has been going since Beta 1.5, not release 1.5. That means it is a 12 year old mod.
I definitely preferred it in its earlier days when it was more akin to what the create mod is now.
It still is, just harder in the early game and it even got a bit easier in the early mid-game in the last updates.
It's such an awful mod.
Never knew it went down the tedious “realism” route.
Lol my custom modpack has Create; actually it's one of our core mods; Through it I'm building a railway network to link all the cities lol

This mod went from being a counterdevelopment to wolves, to making diamond ingots with creeper testicles?
🤨💀
Hey yo
true
I mean, I’m not the biggest fan of creepers after playing Minecraft for over a decade myself but not to “that” level😂
This mod is the edgelord of difficulty for the sake of being difficult, and the mod creator argues against constructive criticism regularly. You cant reliably feed animals, the animals dont respawn and when you DO find any, they get eaten by the undead and spiders. You also die in the dark for no reason at all.
I love the concept of the mod, but it gets held back so much from a handful of features. It's so frustrating.
Yeah I would not play this.

The "Better Than Wolves" mod was created by Flowerchild on April 10th 2011, over 10 years ago.
Flowerchild felt like minecraft. Was being utilized to its full potential and felt there were better alternatives than adding Wolves.
To know this Mod is STILL being developed and updated to this day brings joy. If anyone wants a challenge, try it out! I never did play with the mod myself.
There's a similar challenging mod, but it takes a more "primitive" and non-technological approach, try TerraFirmaCraft. One of my favorite challenge mods out there.
If I wanted a challenge that's this much grind I'd play gregtech nh
can confirm terrafirmacraft and its associated modpacks are GREAT, especially now that theres a bit of an inbuilt guidebook on how to get properly started. even having played through it several times before, it has great replayability due to how much your environment effects gameplay
I remember when this mod came out! Interesting to see it's still being updated.
@@eyeofcthulhu9602 then play TerrafirmaGreg its even harder then gregtech nh
Buddy this mod was made because flowerchild didn't like Mojang because they added wolves, hence the name. This isn't a challenge mod, he genuinely thought Minecraft needed to be this hard. Apparently regular Minecraft just wasn't realistic enough. Also, he's a big ego jerk. Don't get me wrong, this is a fun challenge nowadays, but back then the intent was different.
"If you're wondering why I never chop down the base of the tree, it's because in this mod, you literally cant."

Personally I would have taken over that abandoned village, use some houses for farms for animals, and the actual farms as weat farms. Then use a big house as home, set up wooden walls around village so I have all I need at home.
Animals need to eat grass to survive (one cow needs about 16 blocks of space, the others smaller) so you'd need to make a dirt slab (which can grow grass) path from grass to where you want to put your animals.
Wheat, meanwhile, can't be obtained until you find an inhabited village and steal theirs.
@@legostuffman512 That's such a pointless grind decision to gate wheat to finding an intact village. Sure you won't find a modern high yield cultivar in the woods, but neither will the villagers. They'd have the same shitty found-in-the-wild cultivar as you would be able to pick up off the literal ground in any grassy plain, or *maybe* a few % better yields if they've been there for more than a few generations.
@@dustinbrueggemann1875BTW is in apocaliptic word, there is no more Vilagers, all Vilagers are zombies on the start of the game, that's why finfing food is so hard, you are literally only alive person on the start of the game.

100% agreed, it's what kept me interested throughout as well. There's so much stuff in this one I forgot how tedious a few of the things actually were, so it was kinda helpful. Loved the editing and everything about this as well, the work he put into this was well worth it

Rather than being hard, this modpack just seems extremely tedious and unfun. I understand having multiple intermediary steps for basic tasks, as well as the appeal of "realism," but no one wants to watch paint dry for 5 hours. You shouldn't need to punch a tree for 5 minutes just to get bark from it. It was fun to watch though thanks to your editing and commentary. Thank you for your sacrifice
mod is slow in early game and picks up pace in the mid game, after some progress there will not be a point were you need to watch paint dry
There's a reason people enjoy brutally hard challenges. Whether it's the one nether survival challenge I did pre-nether update, a minecraft mod, or whatever else there's a type of triumph you can only get with intentionally hostile design. For example, in my old nether survival challenge finding a bowl in a fortress chest opened up a whole new food source to me when I had been punching zombie pigman for rotten flesh. Each piece of obsidian was a treasure trove, fending off wither skeletons had to be done with my limited supply of soul sand because my only other block was gravel. It's not everyone's cup of tea but it was good fun for me😂
I mean, that's why multiplayer competitive games are fun too right? Your competitors are other players so there's always a real challenge.

@@katherinesmallbean3594 Realistically if you lugged around literal tons of stone in your pockets all day you'd need a lot of calories too.
It makes sense. For food to be fully cooked it needs to get rid of all of the germs, which requires a certain internal temperature. Letting the food cool back down before reaching that temperature let’s the bacteria survive
I remember when this mod came out! It was a protest over adding wolves to the game, which the creator thought was pointless. Interesting to see it's still being updated.
I personally think that this just conpletely missed the point of Minecraft being a sandbox game first at the time, but even then, I do respect the effort put into making the mod.
Wonder how he feels about Armadillos winning the Mob Vote, a mob that exists solely to give Wolves armor
I remember whenever anyone criticized the mod creator saying that it’s too hard he spewed derogatory terms at them and told them to F off
@@babbit09Better Than Armadillos when?
It wasn't quite that he thought they were pointless; it was that making fully-featured pets would require an inordinate amount of developer effort compared to all the lower hanging fruit available. For example, if bad pathfinding causes a zombie to walk into a lava flow and die; it's just funny. But if it's the player's dog that does it, now they're mad at the game. So making the dog work requires improving pathfinding, etc. etc. and the whole feature ends up taking months or just releases half-baked (like wolves did). On the other hand, the Block Dispenser he added in the original mod took him a day's work and adds a huge amount of redstone gameplay. Hence it was "Better than Wolves" in terms of developer efficiency.
did anyone else get angry when he kept leaving the camp fire unattended for it to go out? like bruh just wait for it to finish cooking
EXACTLY!
As the saying goes when you don't learn from history you're doomed to repeat it.
The repetition will continue for as long as the learning process takes to kick in.
Ah, Better than Wolves. I _adored_ it's approach to mechanisms and tech back in the day, which I can only describe as "cellular automata as infrastructure," but aside from bits here and there like the changes to the health and hunger system and revamped potions, the early game changes eventually soured it for me. I feel like it makes the mistake of giving players a defined route of progression, rather than giving a series of problems and solutions to those problems.
The Same thing happened to me. I loved the mechanical tech the mod adds but eventually it just got to be too tedious to get to the point where you could actually use any of it.
It definitely is focused. But there's also choice to it. Like the choice of what to spend your first iron ingots. An iron pickaxe would make it easier to find more iron, but an iron axe will give you far more storage, allowing you to clear your inventory and save important resources in case you die, the shears not only protect you from creepers and give you string, but you can also double your leather for making better armor. And the Hoe is imporant too, since hemp is the basic material for all of the mechanical machines in the mod and it takes some time to grow. The extra seeds can also be used to start a chicken coop and farm eggs. The order in wich you do theese things can affect your playtrough, but it's not so clearcut than there's an obvious choice.
But that being said. It is really clear that the author made the mod to make the game he personally wanted to play in the playstyle he wanted to play.
There is some branch in this technology tree that allow you to differ you're gameplay in some way. Like, I never seen someone have so much iron without a chiken farm.
Why is the comment so long?
Yeah it's very stiff in the early game. If you only get cows as animals, you'll die from a kick in the head or starvation. If you jump 1 too many times on the first day, you die of starvation. If you spawn in the desert with no trees and 100 pigs stuck in a corner waiting to be slaughtered, you die of starvation cuz no campfire lmao. If you survive starvation, day 2 will present the same challenges as day 1 if you only focused on not starving (like you're supposed to).
The early game is:
Day 1: find food, dig/find shelter to fortify with dirt slabs, find wood, don't take any damage or move too much.
Day 2: same as day 1, but now you gotta find clay, and create an area where the wet bricks won't be stepped on.
sprinkle some stone shenanigans in there if you feel comfortable doing so.
Day 3: literally the exact same thing, just like the next few days.
When you eventually get a brick oven, that's when gameplay starts and you have some incentive to look for iron. Extremely stiff, no variation, because variation = near guaranteed death.
Better Than Wolves go back even further than 2013, my man. It was a technology mod originally released in Minecraft *Beta 1.4*, back in 2011, and it's called that because when wolves were introduced in this update, they felt a bit underwhelming to some players, so one guy, FlowerChild, decided to make a whole mod of things he and the rest of the community deemed "better than wolves" and wished were in the game instead of just wolves.
Originally, this mod introduced windmills and water wheels way before the Create mod was ever even conceived, and you could grind wheat into flour in it to then make bread, you could make steel tools, that were slighty better than iron and worse than diamonds, you could make elevators, cement, ropes, coal made from netherrack, donuts, etc. You could even make a frickin -weed- hemp farm!
This is a standalone mod, so it's not compatible with Forge, but there is a version called Better With Mods that IS compatible with Forge. It's also a total conversion mod, meaning it completely overhalls aspects of the game. Yogscast once did an video covering this mod ages ago when it first released. It's nice to see how far the game has changed.
Cool
Well the funny thing is this isn't better than wolves it's just tryhard mechanics added to a game that's meant to be a simple sandbox adventure game
@@marioionion2bro who hurt you?
Jesus man! I was reading your comment and thinking "huh, crafting flour from windmills and water wheels" and then some neurons started synapsing in my brain and then you said Yogscast and holy shit. I watched that video when it was only a year old and I was only 11 years old. That was my introduction to Minecraft mods and more importantly, to the Yogscast. From there I watched their Tekkit series, got into other modpacks, played Feed The Beast and a few other packs. Like holy shit, entire years of my childhood were catalyzed by their better than wolves mod spotlight. Thank you for reminding me of that!

It saddens me to see what this mod has become since the last time I played it.
It has gone from a bit more challenging technological mod to pure unadultered tedium.
*unadulterated
this mod reminds me of those Primitive Technology videos, where one dude is testing out all these cool building and smelting methods ancient people used, and every time I see those videos I think, this would be so much better with a group of people working together rather than one dude going at it alone. it's just such a tedious grind, and the more you do, the more you need to do, so it's impossible to make practical progress cause sometimes you chokepoint yourself, like with needing to building more ovens and then watch those ovens, you could have had other people helping get food, get wood, make other tools, and explore. doing it all by yourself is painful.
Those aren't even real lol
Nah. Out of all those other clones, Primitive Technology is actually the original and the most authentic when it comes to the methods and primitive technology.

tbh i dont like how minecraft mods handle difficulty, insteal of actually making it more challenging they just make minecraft more tedious and annoying and time consuming, its not hard its just annoying and takes longer, there isn't any real skill required. Minecraft hardcore did it best with the perma death feature which added more risk and danger but not making the gamemode annoying or tedious
The hardest part of any minecraft world is literally the beginning. Getting started. Once you have unlimited resources and enchanted armor and weapons, the game gets significantly easier. The mod takes that beginning grind to a whole new level.
Amazing video. Looking forward to see the next episode!
here's some tips for if you continue this series(and helpful for people who watch this vid and are excited to try:
- the looted desert temple has actual chests at the bottom that you can harvest with the iron axe :)
- you can use control button to place tools into blocks and save inventory space
- sharp stones don't actually do more damage(the tool doesn't take damage, its like empty hand) but you can craft a wooden club with 2 sticks
Wanna good tip? dont waste your time with wicker backet if you want place 1 item like fishing rod, use instead item frame with only need 1 leather and 8 sticks :D

Honestly tho, I think this mod does a really good job of illustratint why cooperation was so important back in the stone age days-you can't help but think "Man, this would be SO much easier if I had a person to go out and hunt for me so I wouldn't have to worry about it!". The dedicated hunter/gatherer existed because it freed up everyone else to do other important things!

I think the way that this mod goes about progress is really interesting, except for its unnecessary tediousness. I believe that if the time it takes to complete some of the lengthier actions were reduced to more reasonable duration, this mod could become a way more realistic and rewarding version of Minecraft.
It is super tedious but imo it makes the progression feel that much more rewarding

I'd make it so that the basic furnace can't smelt iron, its not hot enough. But you can get copper (and maybe tin and a couple other rare earth metals) and the basic furnace can smelt those. You can then make copper tools, and bronze tools, and you can then make a blast furnace that has bellows which you need to right click, which CAN smelt iron.
Neither copper nor tin is a rare earth metal.
ok so one slight correction to 0:19, this mods development goes quite a bit before 2013. Its earliest development was seen in 2010, with the first known video about it being made in 2011 by the Yogscast.

23:36 cuts the video, looks at sun and back at bricks, they all finish at the exact same time, expects us to believe its not scripted
Wait, man’s is right, the vid totally cuts there
Who tf cares, it's entertaining and pretty much every mc video is scripted
@@builderdude9488 over scripted videos are not entertaining... they are shit

37:22 Blud took his balls 😨🥶🔥
I really hope you dont stop this as soon as you beat it! Id love to see the journey of you building a house, doing late game minecraft stuff and just being cool in this mod!
Honestly, this seems a lot of fun to play with a community of people. I may have to try and convince my eSports org to set this up as the first modded server we do.
41:29 Hold up, you need the family jewels to make the jewels!?!?!?
1 hour of a RageTrain video + some snacks + a cozy place = Best Life!!
True lol
Best 1 hour videos TH-camr
Real
31:57 DIAMONDS
this is 40 mins... not even close to an hour
3:15 mutton was added in either 1.8 or 1.9 so it wasn't in the game yet.
I remember being happy that I could feed off of sheep whenever I didn't have much animals around in my worlds lol
It was in the mod so...
@@markokostelac7282 yeah, I realised that once he actually got it and I saw the texture of the item lol. I was too lazy to delete my comment.
32:10 the zombie:🕺🕺🕺
First time I'm excited to see the next episode of a Minecraft series in quite some time. The simplicity is refreshing when compared to the clusterfuck of modpacks that are usually picked. Good job on the editing by the way, just as simple but pretty damn polished
15:55 Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats. The rats made me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room.

27:45 it's the Warden before the warden before actually released into Minecraft

Truth is, this mod isn't really hard as much as it's boring. It's not that different from these mobile games that will force you to wait hours to do even the simplest of actions. Games will often do that mistake of making things take longer to do or increase hp of enemies and turn them into bullet sponges and then call that "hard" when in reality it's just time consuming and frustrating.
18:45 I like how you call that out as being sus but the random iron sword at the beginning is not. I know that zombies can drop iron swords they are holding and it was nearly broken so most likely that’s what happened, but still, I like how the sugar cane is the thing your worried about being called sus over lol
I once got a 2 durability bow from a skeleton. Good times.
In this mod, zombies always drop things theyre holding
You are a very calm person for playing this mod im happy to watch this and i want to see more too
I haven't played BTW since the difficulty of the early game ramped up past the point where I found it fun, but it's great to see it again! I hope you enjoy!
37:00 there balls u mean
B-B-B-BALLS 😳
Look up what mountain oysters are.
He doesn't have the balls to explode
Side note: thought this was funny but DDD is 26 and he’s maturing. Possibility for Molly 😂. Even if the furries were to come for DDD he can box them up.
I love watching this mod (as slow as it is) but there were never that many good vids or lets plays on it. Cant wait for ep2 keep it up!
I know! I wish Commander Frost had more videos in his series from 4 years ago, I've tried watching other's playthroughs but none of them compare to his, no older series at least. Do you have any other recommendations?
@@MBoy2000_ You can go to the really old ones. Like icyNewYear's and Gordon G's. Or of course, Vioki's.
27:16 now if only those mod made more monsters spawn in the gloom and make them attracted to light
out of everything from this mod, creeper castration was the last thing i expected
I remember this mod breaking ground and being way ahead of its time. Then Better then Buildcraft came out and it was a crazy combo. What a throwback
Flowerchild was a divisive character, but I always respected his unwillingness to compromise on his vision. This mod ended up being a bit too hard for me, though
Going to need a full series of you trying to beat the game and just making a house with everything in it and such
