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. It is nearing final release.

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.
Changes From Vanilla
New gameplay modes introduced by FC for BTW that both changes a fundamental mechanic of Minecraft and challenges the player in new ways.
Crafting Recipes

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. This addition to minecraft fleshes out the functional engineering aspect of the game and allows much more creativity in the systems a player may design and construct.
