Actually, hemp is different from weed. Actual hemp is used for its fibers to make rope and textiles. Marijuana is smaller and specifically bred for its thc content. Nothing like rope to take the edge off.
.3% of THC derived from hemp is no different than .3% THC derived from Marijuana. It's just there to keep smaller businesses from having a higher yield from the Mary J plant, while larger companies can mass farm hemp and process them into other useful items.

Unobtainable item...for that reason Leather. Was fine with the spawn rate of iron at the time. Debatably Flint too. Um, arrows, flint&steel, ... Feathers as well. Arrows, Book&Quill, Fireworks. Those two are ingredients for an important item and not quite single-use. Thick Potions. Noe idea what those are Carrot on a Stick (and MAYBE the Nether Variant?)

Modern Minecraft probably would have added a single-use block in the end and a single-use mob that only drops a single-use items as ingredients for the Carrot On A Stick... Furnace Minecart. Was perfectly useful before golden rails were added, and even after as it's mich cheaper. But got waylaid when minecart development basically stopped completely before the feature was ever in a state you could call finished. Tropical Fish (you can eat it, i guess?) Fucking. Bats. Ambience. Those two don't even try to pretend to be anything else but ambience. Just like clouds and water colours. I have no issues with ambience mobs---in fact, there should be more. I have an issue with publishing a single mob as if it's a great feature and then slapping some half-assed functionality on it. An update that adds 10 or 20 ambience mods so every biome has something else would be a great feature. There's a reason Mo'Creatures was one of the must-have mods in its time. Also, bats even have a secondary use: They provide a great jumpscare in caves. Dark caves are intentionally scary, this is one of the core concepts of Minecraft.
As a massive fan of the create mod, I can only respect the guy. Such good work in ONLY five days. Any dev knows how much time, effort and sleepless night is needed to accomplish this.
@@maninblack7085 yeah I was focused on the original mod as it released, it is very different today, it’s even ran by the community rather than flowerchild. However, in its defence the mod picked up some more popularity because of the tonal shift so it has that going for itself
@@cheesebobi really? For the longest time I thought it was flowerchild's floundering and spiraling ego that made him suddenly change the tone of his mod because he was afraid of obscurity.
Not only did it add a lot of redstone features, it also revolutionised survival. You can’t just chop wood, get stone, smelt iron and then find diamonds in a few days, you have to use primitive tools like chisels to get raw iron nuggets and pieces of stone, make clay bricks and let them out to dry so you can make a kiln, then smelt the nuggets one at a time, and you also have to use the new mechanisms to progress too. Tdlmc is currently trying to beat BTW in hardcore with the mob enhancement mod on, and I’ve picked up a lot of strategies from his previous videos
@@cheesebobi It's not fun, it's tedious and poorly balanced and can take literal weeks to get anything done, it's "Hard" as in instead of everything doing a bunch of damage everything takes minutes to manually do.
Hey I'm in the video! BTW doesn't have anything like slimeblocks (except maybe platforms but they can't move other blocks) Those gray blocks with blue in the center are called buddy blocks they activate on block updates just like modern observers. Flowerchild did in fact add flying machines in version 1.50 about a month after the forum post with the addition of the detector block though no one knew it at the time and it wasn't discovered until a few years ago by myren. Vanilla would later add redstone blocks which would allow for the same thing 2 years after btw.
Hey man! That is some lit knowledge I did not know! A part of me wishes I included it in the video but the other part of me thinks it’s a funny bit! Maybe we could get in touch sometime!
To my knowledge it isn't used in modpacks, as the creator purposefully broke all compatibility with forge (And pretty much every mod) for personal reasons.
@@jhonatanboodram2109 that is very true! But primarily the hopper imo was very very similar in function, tho also mojang can do whatever they like as it’s their game, the mod wouldn’t be there without the game
@@cheesebobijust because you create a mod for something you feel is missing from the game doesn't mean you know own this idea and Mojang owes you something if they want to implement the same feature... Honestly I hope they end up copying distant horizons or some quark mod ideas
@@codakairos8082 yeah that is true, however it would be nice if people did get credit as it would help them in the industry, but yes, it is not required.
with the recent boom in popularity from creators such as RageTrain and TdLmc, the mod has a lot of new players and the community is more active than ever. the newer generation of players focuses on the hardcore survival aspect of the mod, which is what helped it blow up on youtube recently. at the end of the day, BTW is a tech mod with a difficult survival early game. videos like this help a lot with letting people know about the tech. I'm surprised how few players know about the elevators, for example. very good video.
It’s been great to see so much new content come out for it, I’ve been considering doing a playthrough myself, and thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed
As i understand things, the original better than wolves didn't make the early game anywhere NEAR as difficult as the current version, which yeah, makes survival hard enough people call it the hardest mod without being automatically considered clickbait. Better with mods is a direct ripoff that kept the earlier difficulty. Ive played around with that one some. Wish the windmill.didnt take soooooooo much hemp tho hahah
@@fractalgem if by "original" you mean the initial release, then yes, it was bare-bones compared to all the stuff added later. the hardcore survival aspect was added around AAAAHHHH near the end of 2018.
Tbf with the new update the wolf armour is rather tanky so shouldn’t be as big of an issue anymore, but they can be a little annoying while exploring especially with elytra.
to be fair, at this point minecraft is sitting on such amounts of technical debt, it's probably easier to make minecraft 2. the only issue is when certain bugs become features and have to be ported too (e.g. java redstone). while it's hard to code the game in a manner the that's future proof, systems that are less interconnected are less likely to be tampered with by or interact with future systems. (that's also one of the reasons the april fools snapshots can be made so elaborate - they are clearly designed as a prototype and thus don't have to adhere to stricter standards) we know how it goes when mojang do a big overhaul involving many systems (caves and cliffs part 3 is on the way) and that's all in an attempt to make the game somewhat forwards compatible (which is harder than backwards compatibility as you don't know what's coming. imagine writing a mod that has to run, as is, in 1.22) so while I can't really complain about minecraft updates taking such a long time, I can still be unsatisfied where the precious dev time is being spent. another note: some of the features have likely come completely separately, just like many animals evolve into a crab. it's just that minecraft went into a somewhat other direction than better than wolves, but finds itself drawn more into that direction. also bitte keine kacka in meinen Hosen
Very well said, I agree, I really wish they could dedicate an update to trying to increase performance, especially for servers, the only reason I hold out hope is that they did rewrite the lighting engine recently. And totally! I said in the 2nd half that i don’t actually believe Mojang stole it all, except the hopper, that one is too close imo hahaha What is cool is that someone mentioned here that Jeb actually was a big player of BTW and he kept in contact with Flower Child once he joined Mojang, so totally viable they did some talking about features. Das kacken hort nicht auf
>it's probably easier to make minecraft 2 That's what Bedrock was SUPPOSED to be. ...or, as it's called for VERY GOOD REASON, Bugrock. >the only issue is when certain bugs become features and have to be ported too (e.g. java redstone) Not hard at all, considering Legacy Editions did it just fine, even considering their significantly lower power and various different languages (i believe both C++ *and* C# on some platforms). The reason why Bedrock is SO utterly alien in how it's works is because they deliberately changed it to "streamline" the performance of it, shaving off *quite* a lot along the way. (Also will note, the original bug that LED to Quasi-Connectivity has been long patched, what we have now is a deliberate feature based off that bug's concept, as it was so incredibly nice for Redstoners) >they are clearly designed as a prototype They arent being ported to Bedrock, nor is Microsoft as heavily involved/nor does it have as much Red Tape. >I can still be unsatisfied where the precious dev time is being spent. Dealing with Microsoft's Execs :V
@@cheesebobi >except the hopper Actually, if i remember right, the Hopper was pulled specifically from Buildcraft's Hopper (now named Chute), even having a pretty similar design/function? I'd have to go look, but i believe Notch even stated this is where he pulled it from
You forgot to mention that Flowerchild was also once a member of the Forge Team until he and LexManos had a massive falling out, leading him to leave the team and make his Better Than Wolves mod completely incompatible with Forge.
honestly this mod has so many features that are just a simpler create mod, and in some ways slightly better. (yes i know this came out way before create, but i couldn’t word it differently)
Tbf the original version of the mod had it rather different, not sure where this model came from, wether the regular anvil was replaced or not but deffo very much the same model with some different shading
@@cheesebobi There's actually quite some history there. BTW added an anvil for a 4x4 crafting grid before the vanilla anvil was added. When the vanilla anvil came, he named the vanilla thing a "dead weight" and its only purpose was hurting stuff when it fell. Years later when the great shift in direction went towards creating a slow paced and balanced survival roguelike. he re-introduced the vanilla anvil as "anvil" and made it a crafting bench. while renaming the BTW anvil as "Soulforge" as a late tech unlock. So yeah. the BTW anvil is still there. and that is indeed the vanilla anvil functioning as a crafting bench
BTW was from a time when EVERY mod had to modify the core game files directly, and thus mods often conflicted and didn't work well together. IIRC Flowerchild thought that was the future of modding over modloaders that created hooks for ALL mods to use and allowed modpacks and mob compatibility. Luckily he was wrong, cause I'd hate to be forced to choose between mods like he wanted.
You're thinking better with mods. Better than with mods IS literraly just better than wolves without so much survival insanity. Create is similar in many ways but is absolutely still its own thing. Same with rotary craft. (Rotary craft is to create what (old) Ic2 is to thermal expansion. Rotary craft makes you care about how much torque your shafts and gears can actually handle.)
and that mod had funnier pistons too which would launch you to the direction they were facing, it was very fun making a piston launcher course buncing you all around the place and then safely landing you
Now that you've pointed that out, i feel sorry for not using tamed wolves in casual gameplay loop. It would be nice to take them with you wherever you go and just get used to it to the point that you don't even notice their presence that much - like good companions in games. But the main problem (with not only wolves but all tamed animals) is that they are incompatible with travelling. Firstly, they have problem with oceans - sure, you can struggle and fit your pet into boat to sail with them, but what if you have two or more pets? You can only say "bye bye" to them as they will no longer teleport to you. Secondly, elytras. And thirdly, even warping through the nether roof becomes tricky as you can't just walk into the portal and expect your pets to follow you. And if you manage to put them through the portal and then follow - they can accidentally teleport back because shitty pathfinding. I don't think it's too hard for mojang to improve pets behaviour so they don't act that frustrating.
@@impax2634 totally agreed! For me the biggest pain with them is elytra, they end up getting lost in unloaded chunks and it’s a nightmare to retrieve them, totally some simple changes that would be huge improvements!
Quark also took some notable inspiration from BTW. Obsidian pressure plates and dispensers placing blocks comes to mind (BTW block dispenser). Botania, by the same author (Vazkii), also has a similar design philosophy to its automation to BTW (prioritizing problem solving with redstone). Vazkii even briefly made a pack with a forge version of BTW and Quark called Proton.
@@thethievingmonkey yeah totally true! Forgot to mention quark, it’s a great mod in its own right but yes definetly has similar solutions to some problems
The craziest thing about this to me is that the whole reason why he popped off and mode the mod in the first place is STILL an issue in the game 13 years later. Dude is just like me, he has the foresight for seeing when things will go wrong, even if it's an unpopular opinion at the time
This is true, the wolves are still heavily outdated, I think wolf armour is a good addition to make them tanky but their teleport pathing is horrible and barely works with elytra
@@cheesebobi The thing is, their teleport was Mojang's bandaid attempt at fixing their bad pathfinding. Even before the elytra the teleporting paired with the bad pathfinding caused more issues than it solved, and now with everything we have in 2024 it's just a shitty reminder of what could have been. I do appreciate the wolf armor as it is now, though you also can't forget we had to twist their arm to even get it to a functioning state since the original functionally did nothing for the core issues. Wolves just needs an entire rework at this point to fix the root issues the community has with them I think.
And wolves are just the tip of the iceberg. Take polar bears. Fucking polar bears were a mob vote subject....whyyyy? They do NOTHING for us. They don't add anything to gameplay. A tiny bit of making the world feel alive, i guess, but lush caves do THAT a million times better. I think the only time ive even SEEN one is playing The Winter Rescue, which is a pack that i wish i could love but i hate its mid game to end game transition too much. (You just need far, farrrrrr too much fuel and iron to make the immersive machines and while tetra is in the pack youre locked out of some 90 percent of tetras tool power potential.)
the yogscast vid was the first mod showcase i ever watched. i wasn’t even playing the game at this point, but my first exposure was tobuscus so i was learning the game right along with his series. seeing this mod showcase sent me down a rabbit hole of figuring out exactly what minecraft is and what it could be and how it could change, and now here i am watching tiny let’s play channels and huge discussion channels at 24 to try and put that human spark back in my youtube algorithm
Not quite my first video from them but definitely an early one, they really ruled back then. And well hopefully you enjoyed the video, perhaps check out some from my Decent Content playlist, I try work story into my stuff
13:20 If they listened to people and let the modders cook, we would now have Minecraft version 324.21 definitive deluxe + girl included + apartment + colony on Mars and not some glowing squid
i used to love better than wolves before it got crazy and derrailed into the pain that is today. i still have a world saved somewhere with an entire village and a castle. it had elevators (the original better than wolves elevators) castle bridge doors, and dogs pooping in a water slide and a lot of crazy things... but then something changed and decided they wanted to challenge gregtech into making the definition of grinding.
@@fractalgem it indeed was nice, but todays mod killed that special feeling, still play it sometimes, but forcing myself out of other mods is also a bit painful :P back in the day you had to delete meta-inf and pray... that thing was almost incompatible with minecraft itself
FlowerChild was one of the original devs of the Forge API, which was the initial shared API that allowed pretty much any mods which used it to be installed together. In turn giving rise to the modpack experience, and CurseForge (the mod library/archive).
This mod is now made to be a very difficult survival mod, that in my opinion is superior compared to the others, for example RLCraft. Beating the dragon is a crazy long-term grind that takes ages. They even provided an "easy" difficulty mode (which is still very hard for most players) which I believe to be a good balance and feels very rewarding when you complete a milestone, especially the Nether arc when you finally get to recycle your diamond tools with 100% of the diamonds. So far my favorite part about the mod is how it does its difficulty, such as the random thousand-block respawn radius, making it semi-hardcore, and it's the game mechanics, not the mobs. In fact the mod has never made any hostile mobs more difficult than the vanilla, other than the fact that armor is much more expensive during the early game. It makes dying a much more serious consequence without implementing the "bad rng" issue fighting op mobs.
Well its definitely better than irl craft. But thats not saying much whem half id rlcrafts difficulty comes from bad meme-esque "humor" of "you died isn't that funny" Ugh, lycanites
While I wouldn't call Better Than Wolves the _best_ mod, or even call it by it's name cuz 1. it ignores the original problem with wolves which was the whole incentive and 2. not sure if survival hell is "better" than wolves, it did certainly have an impact on the game in modding and vanilla scene
If i understand correctly the original better than wolves was farrrrr less aggressive about being survival hell than the modern take. Better with mods is ripoff better than wolves without nearly as much survival hell.
3:32 well, now we know you watch Doctor Who, also first time viewer of your channel and i gotta say, this video was an amazing watch, keep up the great work man, and have yourself a fantastic day

Oh hey I haven’t seen anyone talk about this in a long time, glad to see it again I remember my friend showing me the elevators in create and I told her that that’s just from Better for Wolves
This is the first time I see a "whats the best mod" video I agree with. The mod was very janky, but this person knew what they were talking about and it wasnt well received by people who liked the wolves. The dev pointed out that instead of adding new features and fixing bugs, Mojang instead was adding cosmetics (whivh is what Wolves are to this day)
Thank you for thinking so! I think it’s a very underrated mod in terms of this topic, however I do still believe every mod has its place and could be considered “the best” if it gives you good memories or a fun time
Damn he was absolutely right in his anti-wolf post. Who actually brings their wolves with them anywhere?
Some people definitely do but once you get an elytra they end up getting lost in h loaded chunks

I have no issues with ambience mobs---in fact, there should be more. I have an issue with publishing a single mob as if it's a great feature and then slapping some half-assed functionality on it. An update that adds 10 or 20 ambience mods so every biome has something else would be a great feature. There's a reason Mo'Creatures was one of the must-have mods in its time.
Also, bats even have a secondary use: They provide a great jumpscare in caves. Dark caves are intentionally scary, this is one of the core concepts of Minecraft.
As a massive fan of the create mod, I can only respect the guy. Such good work in ONLY five days. Any dev knows how much time, effort and sleepless night is needed to accomplish this.
@@loicmenard9006 truly impressive, especially back then when forge and fabric didn’t even exist to have an easier method of modding

@@maninblack7085 yeah I was focused on the original mod as it released, it is very different today, it’s even ran by the community rather than flowerchild. However, in its defence the mod picked up some more popularity because of the tonal shift so it has that going for itself

Tbh the "strawberry flavor" modpack is a very fun experience and a way to experience what Minecraft would be if BTW was an update
Not only did it add a lot of redstone features, it also revolutionised survival. You can’t just chop wood, get stone, smelt iron and then find diamonds in a few days, you have to use primitive tools like chisels to get raw iron nuggets and pieces of stone, make clay bricks and let them out to dry so you can make a kiln, then smelt the nuggets one at a time, and you also have to use the new mechanisms to progress too. Tdlmc is currently trying to beat BTW in hardcore with the mob enhancement mod on, and I’ve picked up a lot of strategies from his previous videos
I might have to give that a go myself, I’m quite an experienced modded player so should be quite fun
Reminds me of Vintage Story.
@@Kathrynerius not sure what that is actually

Hey I'm in the video! BTW doesn't have anything like slimeblocks (except maybe platforms but they can't move other blocks) Those gray blocks with blue in the center are called buddy blocks they activate on block updates just like modern observers.
Flowerchild did in fact add flying machines in version 1.50 about a month after the forum post with the addition of the detector block though no one knew it at the time and it wasn't discovered until a few years ago by myren.
Vanilla would later add redstone blocks which would allow for the same thing 2 years after btw.
Hey man! That is some lit knowledge I did not know! A part of me wishes I included it in the video but the other part of me thinks it’s a funny bit! Maybe we could get in touch sometime!

That is very true! It’s on a massive upswing now which is cool to see, a lot of new TH-camrs are playing it
To my knowledge it isn't used in modpacks, as the creator purposefully broke all compatibility with forge (And pretty much every mod) for personal reasons.

Fact that different variations of slabs can exist but Mojang still refuses to add them is still a crime
I think more slabs of different blocks would be good, however I do think vertical ones might limit creativity a little bit
with the recent boom in popularity from creators such as RageTrain and TdLmc, the mod has a lot of new players and the community is more active than ever.
the newer generation of players focuses on the hardcore survival aspect of the mod, which is what helped it blow up on youtube recently.
at the end of the day, BTW is a tech mod with a difficult survival early game. videos like this help a lot with letting people know about the tech. I'm surprised how few players know about the elevators, for example. very good video.
It’s been great to see so much new content come out for it, I’ve been considering doing a playthrough myself, and thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed
As i understand things, the original better than wolves didn't make the early game anywhere NEAR as difficult as the current version, which yeah, makes survival hard enough people call it the hardest mod without being automatically considered clickbait.
Better with mods is a direct ripoff that kept the earlier difficulty. Ive played around with that one some. Wish the windmill.didnt take soooooooo much hemp tho hahah
@@fractalgem if by "original" you mean the initial release, then yes, it was bare-bones compared to all the stuff added later. the hardcore survival aspect was added around AAAAHHHH near the end of 2018.
And here I thought Better than Wolves was just a rare expert mod to make everything harder.
@@Mikemk_ nower days it has shifted to that but originally it wasn’t so hardcore
"its all better than wolves?" always has been
Hahaha truly has been
4:29 i do that because i can’t handle the emotional turmoil of losing a minecraft dog
Tbf with the new update the wolf armour is rather tanky so shouldn’t be as big of an issue anymore, but they can be a little annoying while exploring especially with elytra.
to be fair, at this point minecraft is sitting on such amounts of technical debt, it's probably easier to make minecraft 2. the only issue is when certain bugs become features and have to be ported too (e.g. java redstone). while it's hard to code the game in a manner the that's future proof, systems that are less interconnected are less likely to be tampered with by or interact with future systems. (that's also one of the reasons the april fools snapshots can be made so elaborate - they are clearly designed as a prototype and thus don't have to adhere to stricter standards)
we know how it goes when mojang do a big overhaul involving many systems (caves and cliffs part 3 is on the way) and that's all in an attempt to make the game somewhat forwards compatible (which is harder than backwards compatibility as you don't know what's coming. imagine writing a mod that has to run, as is, in 1.22)
so while I can't really complain about minecraft updates taking such a long time, I can still be unsatisfied where the precious dev time is being spent.
another note: some of the features have likely come completely separately, just like many animals evolve into a crab. it's just that minecraft went into a somewhat other direction than better than wolves, but finds itself drawn more into that direction.
also bitte keine kacka in meinen Hosen
Very well said, I agree, I really wish they could dedicate an update to trying to increase performance, especially for servers, the only reason I hold out hope is that they did rewrite the lighting engine recently.
And totally! I said in the 2nd half that i don’t actually believe Mojang stole it all, except the hopper, that one is too close imo hahaha
What is cool is that someone mentioned here that Jeb actually was a big player of BTW and he kept in contact with Flower Child once he joined Mojang, so totally viable they did some talking about features.
Das kacken hort nicht auf
>it's probably easier to make minecraft 2
That's what Bedrock was SUPPOSED to be.
...or, as it's called for VERY GOOD REASON, Bugrock.
>the only issue is when certain bugs become features and have to be ported too (e.g. java redstone)
Not hard at all, considering Legacy Editions did it just fine, even considering their significantly lower power and various different languages (i believe both C++ *and* C# on some platforms). The reason why Bedrock is SO utterly alien in how it's works is because they deliberately changed it to "streamline" the performance of it, shaving off *quite* a lot along the way.
(Also will note, the original bug that LED to Quasi-Connectivity has been long patched, what we have now is a deliberate feature based off that bug's concept, as it was so incredibly nice for Redstoners)
>they are clearly designed as a prototype
They arent being ported to Bedrock, nor is Microsoft as heavily involved/nor does it have as much Red Tape.
>I can still be unsatisfied where the precious dev time is being spent.
Dealing with Microsoft's Execs :V
@@cheesebobi >except the hopper
Actually, if i remember right, the Hopper was pulled specifically from Buildcraft's Hopper (now named Chute), even having a pretty similar design/function?
I'd have to go look, but i believe Notch even stated this is where he pulled it from
Vintage Story is kinda Minecraft 2 but it's pretty hard. However, it runs very well on a potato due to the lack of tech-debt.
@@higueraft571 I thought it was called Deadrock... for it's tendency to randomly kill players without warning (very funny videos).
You forgot to mention that Flowerchild was also once a member of the Forge Team until he and LexManos had a massive falling out, leading him to leave the team and make his Better Than Wolves mod completely incompatible with Forge.
That’s true! It was probably why better than wolves lost so much momentum, however they are picking back up now
10:39 The hopper was not added in 1.13.
Yeah that was my bad, got a correction in the description
honestly this mod has so many features that are just a simpler create mod, and in some ways slightly better. (yes i know this came out way before create, but i couldn’t word it differently)
They certainly have similarities, think it’s pretty cool to see how stuff has evolved!
@@cheesebobi i totally agree!
Rotarycraft and create both likely took inspiration from it, but i think both of those took the rotation system much further.
@@fractalgem Another one that often gets forgotten is Ugocraft.
In the wolf department for sure.
The anvil literally has the exact same dimensions as the one in minecraft today.
Tbf the original version of the mod had it rather different, not sure where this model came from, wether the regular anvil was replaced or not but deffo very much the same model with some different shading
@@cheesebobi There's actually quite some history there. BTW added an anvil for a 4x4 crafting grid before the vanilla anvil was added. When the vanilla anvil came, he named the vanilla thing a "dead weight" and its only purpose was hurting stuff when it fell. Years later when the great shift in direction went towards creating a slow paced and balanced survival roguelike. he re-introduced the vanilla anvil as "anvil" and made it a crafting bench. while renaming the BTW anvil as "Soulforge" as a late tech unlock. So yeah. the BTW anvil is still there. and that is indeed the vanilla anvil functioning as a crafting bench
BTW was from a time when EVERY mod had to modify the core game files directly, and thus mods often conflicted and didn't work well together. IIRC Flowerchild thought that was the future of modding over modloaders that created hooks for ALL mods to use and allowed modpacks and mob compatibility. Luckily he was wrong, cause I'd hate to be forced to choose between mods like he wanted.
I believe it. OFC his childish ego would love that you could not use his mod alongside others.
0:12 it's the jenny mod duh
Realest comment I’ve ever heard
real
So good Mojang had to ban it because they couldn't ever top it with any righed mob vote or half-assed update :o
i never realized that create is literally just better than wolves
Don’t get me wrong it’s got a lot more and is a lot more in depth but it definitely shares some core similarities!
You're thinking better with mods. Better than with mods IS literraly just better than wolves without so much survival insanity. Create is similar in many ways but is absolutely still its own thing. Same with rotary craft. (Rotary craft is to create what (old) Ic2 is to thermal expansion. Rotary craft makes you care about how much torque your shafts and gears can actually handle.)
The hopper was actually added in 1.5
I knew I wasn't schitso, despite this minor hiccup this video was a good one 👍
I noticed this too! I’ll add something to the description, my bad!
@@Zonix_Official great to hear it didn’t detract more!
Dont forget the fact that Notch pinched pistons from a mod too and only much later gave credit to the original mod
and that mod had funnier pistons too which would launch you to the direction they were facing, it was very fun making a piston launcher course buncing you all around the place and then safely landing you
I do recall that mod and that notch yoinked it but didn’t know he withheld credit for ages
@@rektdesu3577 loved the launches, I remember watching videos on yt of people doing those and then when I tried the in game ones they didn’t work haha

Still the video was really good ofc.
Now that you've pointed that out, i feel sorry for not using tamed wolves in casual gameplay loop. It would be nice to take them with you wherever you go and just get used to it to the point that you don't even notice their presence that much - like good companions in games. But the main problem (with not only wolves but all tamed animals) is that they are incompatible with travelling. Firstly, they have problem with oceans - sure, you can struggle and fit your pet into boat to sail with them, but what if you have two or more pets? You can only say "bye bye" to them as they will no longer teleport to you. Secondly, elytras. And thirdly, even warping through the nether roof becomes tricky as you can't just walk into the portal and expect your pets to follow you. And if you manage to put them through the portal and then follow - they can accidentally teleport back because shitty pathfinding. I don't think it's too hard for mojang to improve pets behaviour so they don't act that frustrating.
@@impax2634 totally agreed! For me the biggest pain with them is elytra, they end up getting lost in unloaded chunks and it’s a nightmare to retrieve them, totally some simple changes that would be huge improvements!

Quark also took some notable inspiration from BTW. Obsidian pressure plates and dispensers placing blocks comes to mind (BTW block dispenser).

The craziest thing about this to me is that the whole reason why he popped off and mode the mod in the first place is STILL an issue in the game 13 years later. Dude is just like me, he has the foresight for seeing when things will go wrong, even if it's an unpopular opinion at the time
This is true, the wolves are still heavily outdated, I think wolf armour is a good addition to make them tanky but their teleport pathing is horrible and barely works with elytra
@@cheesebobi The thing is, their teleport was Mojang's bandaid attempt at fixing their bad pathfinding. Even before the elytra the teleporting paired with the bad pathfinding caused more issues than it solved, and now with everything we have in 2024 it's just a shitty reminder of what could have been.
I do appreciate the wolf armor as it is now, though you also can't forget we had to twist their arm to even get it to a functioning state since the original functionally did nothing for the core issues. Wolves just needs an entire rework at this point to fix the root issues the community has with them I think.
And wolves are just the tip of the iceberg.
Take polar bears.
Fucking polar bears were a mob vote subject....whyyyy? They do NOTHING for us. They don't add anything to gameplay. A tiny bit of making the world feel alive, i guess, but lush caves do THAT a million times better. I think the only time ive even SEEN one is playing The Winter Rescue, which is a pack that i wish i could love but i hate its mid game to end game transition too much. (You just need far, farrrrrr too much fuel and iron to make the immersive machines and while tetra is in the pack youre locked out of some 90 percent of tetras tool power potential.)
@@fractalgemPolar bears were added years before the mob vote started. They were just added because Jeb and his wife like them.

Quark itself took quite a bit from BTW, funnily enough.
I remember this mod. It was really cool ideas and easily shows how modders will always be faster at making useful and fun additions.
That's true!
This mod is now made to be a very difficult survival mod, that in my opinion is superior compared to the others, for example RLCraft. Beating the dragon is a crazy long-term grind that takes ages. They even provided an "easy" difficulty mode (which is still very hard for most players) which I believe to be a good balance and feels very rewarding when you complete a milestone, especially the Nether arc when you finally get to recycle your diamond tools with 100% of the diamonds. So far my favorite part about the mod is how it does its difficulty, such as the random thousand-block respawn radius, making it semi-hardcore, and it's the game mechanics, not the mobs. In fact the mod has never made any hostile mobs more difficult than the vanilla, other than the fact that armor is much more expensive during the early game. It makes dying a much more serious consequence without implementing the "bad rng" issue fighting op mobs.
I haven’t actually explored the mod in its new form, perhaps I should make a video on playing it
Well its definitely better than irl craft. But thats not saying much whem half id rlcrafts difficulty comes from bad meme-esque "humor" of "you died isn't that funny"

While I wouldn't call Better Than Wolves the _best_ mod, or even call it by it's name cuz 1. it ignores the original problem with wolves which was the whole incentive and 2. not sure if survival hell is "better" than wolves, it did certainly have an impact on the game in modding and vanilla scene
That is a totally fair take! I just found it impressive how much the initial mod had that is now considered standard Minecraft
If i understand correctly the original better than wolves was farrrrr less aggressive about being survival hell than the modern take. Better with mods is ripoff better than wolves without nearly as much survival hell.
