The Best Minecraft Mod Mojang Is STILL Stealing From 

Every mod I've ever played... It's all been better than wolves...

minecraft only using 1% of their power to make their game but using 20% when its april fools day

Damn he was absolutely right in his anti-wolf post. Who actually brings their wolves with them anywhere?

he remembered his yt password bois!!!

i thought that BTW meant like the player would be better than wolves, but no, the UPDATE was better than adding wolves

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.

Asking which mod is the best is like asking which half of your car you don't need.

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

4:14 Its sad that this 13 year old post is still just as accurate today as it was back then...

Very nice video :) To add to your point, Dinnerbone, who worked at Mojang for a while, played a lot of BTW before he became a MC Dev. He was an active member on our forum for years, and stayed in touch with FC when he joined Mojang. He even mentionned showing BTW to other Mojang employees, so it's safe to say that they knew the mod pretty well :)

I am NOT crafting a bucket from plates

"Maybe even call it mavity" Best doctor who reference

There’s also the fact that people are still playing Better than Wolves & using it in Modpacks despite being one of the oldest Minecraft Mods Around

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.

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

The anvil literally has the exact same dimensions as the one in minecraft today.

mojang also stealing a lot from "quark"

Better Than Wolves do be getting more popular recently.

"in no particular order except for this particular order" lol still can't believe one of the most fundamental mods i had growing up was named after a forum argument... gives me ideas for naming my projects XD

KUBA (His Name btw) i thought you we're dead but you are alive

i remember old Better Than Wolves. Flowerchild walked so the Create team could run.

bro really put background footage of a purse getting stolen from a car 😭

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

This guy cooked so hard that I binged watched this mod.

bro came back after 1 year and instantly dropped a banger

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)

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.

(Gets flashbacks) Dies to a new moon(Just literal darkness)

Bros gonna be a bit upset when he heads about the piston

works of art created through spite are the closest humanity had come to godhood

I remember Flowerchild banning me from the forums for making a suggestion. Good times

"its all better than wolves?" always has been

allat and mojang still needs a year to add 2 flowers, reskinned wood, fancy bookshelves, and 2 inconsequential mobs.

The hopper was actually added in 1.5

the reason why dispensers doesn't put out fire is because it is only using the item inside, the bucket worked because it became a empty bucket.

I don't know why people have been losing their marbles these past few years over the fact that modders can do 100x times the work Mojang does in just one week. It's always been like this.

4:29 i do that because i can’t handle the emotional turmoil of losing a minecraft dog

mojang got help from wolves for stuff like hoppers, but thats a lot of shit taken

If you really want to remember well-known mod makers, the guy who made the Aether dimension mod was hired at Mojang.

i never realized that create is literally just better than wolves

2:36 replace discord with teamspeak

Dont forget the fact that Notch pinched pistons from a mod too and only much later gave credit to the original mod

We have to remember: This was back when “Use the patcher, Noob!” Hell, wasn’t this the *reason **_for_* the patcher?

8:24 Worst RU-vid UI update jumpscare

honestly you can't say that that there's a mod better than dirt to diamonds 1.2.5 it's just not possible

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.

What if Mojang makes the dwellers official and put them in the next update.

Holy shit.... he lives and he remembered his password

cheesebobi returns with the same peak editing

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 when you first saw Create you went "hey this looks like Better Than Wolves" you deserve a Minecraft veterans pass

After first contact in months we have the definitive return.

Bro come out at nowhere

A YEAR MAN THOUGH YOU DIED.

Bro they asked permission to add that and even asked the modders to help code it in.

Wait until he finds out about pistons

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

3:35 I understood that reference.

Dude, if not for a mod, we wouldn't have piston.

BROOOO!!! YOU FORGOT 99% OF THIS MOD! THIS DESERVES A SERIES OF REVIEWS!

I knew it was BTW just by looking at the thumbnail & title lol

If its the most downloaded, for fabric its Fabric API 😂

Narrator: It was, in fact, better than wolfs.

hearing "mavity" in a completely unrelated context gave me whiplash

Mojang could just hire modders to work for their game. These people can make an entire update in a WEEK. While for mojang it takes like half a year or even more.

He’s back!!!

I knew it was Better Than Wolves when I first heard that he hated wolves lol

5:14 i agree if you hurt my little goofball... i will destroy your world... it will become an unrecognizable mess of explosions and fire... i will...

MY KING IS ALIVE

11:09 nope that’s the composter

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.

Mojang: stealing features from mods for 10 years Also mojang: fails to steal backpacks

Create mod took the old version of BTW and... made it better.

DOCTOR WHO REFERENCE 3:35!!!!!!! AAAHHH

Discord didn’t even exist…

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

Better than wolves water wheels looked so much better than the modern create ones... But the shafts just looked horrible

was honestly expecting the Jenny mod to show up side to side with the girlfriend mod, xd kinda ruined it by not showing jenny

Little does this man know, and entire game developer would roll with permanently barrowing many of these ideas and make a whole new game out of them, also taking a bit from hytale too. All of this mod sounds like a very Vintage Story to me.

i think you shouldnt put it in a negative light like that. i like when mojang "steals" from mod developers because it brings us better features.

W

Old version was way easier than the newer version of the original.

It still updates today, you have underestimated this mod SO MUCH! It is the hardest mod ever.

8:07 It looks like you're actually on the conveyor belt.

man just noticed though microsoft has been stealing mods from java crazy

That boy was really willing to go to great lengths to prove his point, wild and admirable

Not stealing, Rather making it official to the game

I don't think this is the best mod, but it definitely is one of the most iconic, the best mod would really be up to the individual.

5:22 i genuinely died when i heard that accent😂😂 "Kaka in dein hose"

how dare you tell me that I will have "kacka in mein Hosen" if I "accidentally" hurt your wolf? that just goes a bit too far bud. Greetings from Germany

I mean, they have taken from mods before. Horses were added because they appeared in a mod first and they collaborated with the creator of the mod to add them. The smooth lighting was also mod first and the mod creator was hired by Mojang to implement it and, I might be wrong but I think he is still a part of the team.

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

Genuinely an amazing video, BTW is an amazing mod and it's great to see a video essay on it. Especially one from you of all people!

Great video! Always love your videos so it's good to see you back 😁

The two-handed mods: "remember me?"

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.

"maybe call it Mavity" I LOVE THE REFERANCE 🕐📞👽

They technically can legaly.

Immersive engineering feels like it was inspired by BtW before create. Minecraft has "borrowed" from mods since the start. Pistons for instance.

happy to have you back gng
