Introduction to Better Than Wolves
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.
Installation Guide
Installing a mod that requires multiple steps can be a daunting task. This guide breaks it down into a simple step by step process, in order to help you install Better Than Wolves properly.

Better Than Wolves is organized into distinct "Ages" that represent different stages of Steve's technological progress. Each Age in turn may be organized into separate Tiers that represent separate tasks that the player must achieve in order to progress to the next.

New to the mod and need some help getting started? Then this is the page for you. Simple, condensed, straitforward guidance on what to do next without giving away all the strategies and automation options.
Mechanical Power
With the Better Than Wolves mod, the largest addition to Minecraft gameplay is the addition of mechanical power and mechanical devices such as Water Wheels, Wind Mills, Gear Boxes, axles, and other devices. All mechanical systems can be used in conjunction with redstone power.
