Better Than Wolves is a single-player Minecraft mod that not only adds new items and blocks, but also provides incredible functionality for engineering and design while maintaining the original feel of Minecraft. FlowerChild created BTW since he felt the full potential of the game was not being realized by Mojang for the amount of time they were putting into it. FlowerChild realized the time Mojang spent to create wolves in Minecraft Beta 1.4 and other features in previous releases could have been spent on something with much more functionality and gameplay value. As a result of this and other factors, Better Than Wolves was born on April 10, 2011.

FlowerChild realized the time Mojang spent to create wolves in Minecraft Beta 1.4 and other features in previous releases could have been spent on something with much more functionality and gameplay value. He started a [http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/234199-notch-wolves-are-a-bad-idea/ forum thread] called "Notch: Wolves Are a Bad Idea", which led to another [http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/236629-challenge-better-than-wolves/ forum thread] challenging the community to come up ideas that were better than wolves, which led, after 5 days of [http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/247555-wip-better-than-wolves-mod/ WIP development], to the initial release of the Better Than Wolves mod on April 10, 2011. The mod has been in continuous development since then, with hundreds of new features and gameplay modes.

Installation

Installation methods evolved and changed a lot over the years.

For the latest version of the mod, check the Installation page for a step-by-step guide on how to install it for most people (if you're on Windows and own a legitimate copy of the game).

It is strongly advised to join the BTW Discord (https://discord.gg/wztckS29th), to have a look over the #faq for the most up-to-date information.

This is the best place to find answers to most problems you might face, and where you can ask for help in the #tech-support channel.

Introduction to Better Than Wolves

Better Than Wolves is a Minecraft mod that not only adds new items and blocks, but also provides incredible functionality for engineering and design while maintaining the original feel of Minecraft. FlowerChild created BTW since he felt the full potential of the game was not being realized by Mojang for the amount of time they were putting into it. FlowerChild realized the time Mojang spent to create wolves in Minecraft Beta 1.4 and other features in previous releases could have been spent on something with much more functionality and gameplay value. He started a forum thread called "Notch: Wolves Are a Bad Idea", which led to another forum thread challenging the community to come up ideas that were better than wolves, which led, after 5 days of WIP development, to the initial release of the Better Than Wolves mod on April 10, 2011. The mod has been in continuous development since then, with hundreds of new features and gameplay modes.
