Download Honkai Star Rail for FREE with my link here ➤ hoyo.link/c6ceFdBL Sorry for the bad upload schedule, I promise I'm ACTUALLY going to fix it this time. Also I am working on a big skyblock video, it's just taking a REALLY long time, but it will come out eventually :)

The way that the game went from "You need to spend several days worth of in-game time to get a wooden plank" to "You can literally castrate creepers so they don't explode anymore" is wild.

when you walked up to a creeper with shears i jokingly said to myself "can you neuter them?" but i didn't expect you to actually do it 💀

6:55 You say it's "completely useless" but I'd say any one of those village houses is better than that hole you're living in

The change of expression on the creeper's face when you cut it's balls off will haunt me for the rest of the night until I forget about it.

RageTrain really did decide to take a break from grinding hundreds of Hours in Hypixel Skyblock to grind for a Crafting Table for even more Hours in Modded Minecraft lmfao

I think this mod could also do the food system a little better. Usually people don't need to eat 5 pieces of meat from a famished state to get full again. You only need one meal and perhaps some rest. Making a system out of that would definitely help the copious amount of foods you need to stay alive in this mod.

I like how it goes from "Everything a little more realistic" to "Craft a diamond pick out of creeper balls"

6:02 if this mod is supposed to be realistic that part makes no sense if you turn your oven off your food doesnt just magically uncook itself

BtW really took a 90 degree turn. Originally it focused on adding features that were perceivably better than the wolves update. I can't remember most of it but hemp, windmills, and elevators come to mind. Now it's taking the TerraFirma Craft route of adding difficulty via "realism"

Jesus. That was a harrowing experience, I'm surprised the mod doesn't ask you to grow your own arms first and develop muscular strength before you try to punch a tree.

Hard is not the same as tedious

I think the way that this mod goes about progress is really interesting, except for its unnecessary tediousness. I believe that if the time it takes to complete some of the lengthier actions were reduced to more reasonable duration, this mod could become a way more realistic and rewarding version of Minecraft.

This mod went from being a counterdevelopment to wolves, to making diamond ingots with creeper testicles?

This looks more fun to watch someone play it than actually playing it yourself

what i dont get about the mod is that it goes so far with realism just to give up at random... like, getting pieces of wood and stone is realistic, spending hunger for things is realistic but:completely dark nights, having to eat 4 full cpurses to heal 1 hunger bar, not being able to see the sky darkening to predict rain, having clay not melt/break when smelting iron, only being able to store 1 item ber basket, and more are not realistic at all

Very similar to my experience learning woodworking and metalwork 😂 The importance of clay cannot be understated, it was such a huge technological discovery, and I was really excited to see they made it a key step

Better than wolves is actually one of the oldest mods in the game. It was made in response to Minecraft 1.4 when wolves were added, and has been going since Beta 1.5, not release 1.5. That means it is a 12 year old mod. I definitely preferred it in its earlier days when it was more akin to what the create mod is now.

The "Better Than Wolves" mod was created by Flowerchild on April 10th 2011, over 10 years ago. Flowerchild felt like minecraft. Was being utilized to its full potential and felt there were better alternatives than adding Wolves. To know this Mod is STILL being developed and updated to this day brings joy. If anyone wants a challenge, try it out! I never did play with the mod myself. There's a similar challenging mod, but it takes a more "primitive" and non-technological approach, try TerraFirmaCraft. One of my favorite challenge mods out there.

this mod reminds me of those Primitive Technology videos, where one dude is testing out all these cool building and smelting methods ancient people used, and every time I see those videos I think, this would be so much better with a group of people working together rather than one dude going at it alone. it's just such a tedious grind, and the more you do, the more you need to do, so it's impossible to make practical progress cause sometimes you chokepoint yourself, like with needing to building more ovens and then watch those ovens, you could have had other people helping get food, get wood, make other tools, and explore. doing it all by yourself is painful.

People who want an episode 2 ---->

I remember when this mod came out! It was a protest over adding wolves to the game, which the creator thought was pointless. Interesting to see it's still being updated.

I would love for this to be a series. I never see people finish this mod! Keep up the good work rage train!

The hardest part of any minecraft world is literally the beginning. Getting started. Once you have unlimited resources and enchanted armor and weapons, the game gets significantly easier. The mod takes that beginning grind to a whole new level.

I haven't watched a full minecraft let's play in a really long time. This was really great and the amount of work that went into it is very noticeable.

Personally I would have taken over that abandoned village, use some houses for farms for animals, and the actual farms as weat farms. Then use a big house as home, set up wooden walls around village so I have all I need at home.

Glad to see that shears have a good use in this game, cutting off the creepers balls 37:24

Oh my god I just watched this ENTIRE thing straight through and I was absolutely entranced. Your editing is beyond amazing for a Minecraft let's play, your mograph is very neat (In its original sense of clean, well done) and adds a lot of personality. Though honestly, I wouldn't play this mod if I got paid 🤣 But watching you was a *delight*. Insta sub, looking forward for more of this mod.

3:15 mutton was added in either 1.8 or 1.9 so it wasn't in the game yet. I remember being happy that I could feed off of sheep whenever I didn't have much animals around in my worlds lol

Rather than being hard, this modpack just seems extremely tedious and unfun. I understand having multiple intermediary steps for basic tasks, as well as the appeal of "realism," but no one wants to watch paint dry for 5 hours. You shouldn't need to punch a tree for 5 minutes just to get bark from it. It was fun to watch though thanks to your editing and commentary. Thank you for your sacrifice

Better Than Wolves go back even further than 2013, my man. It was a technology mod originally released in Minecraft *Beta 1.4*, back in 2011, and it's called that because when wolves were introduced in this update, they felt a bit underwhelming to some players, so one guy, FlowerChild, decided to make a whole mod of things he and the rest of the community deemed "better than wolves" and wished were in the game instead of just wolves. Originally, this mod introduced windmills and water wheels way before the Create mod was ever even conceived, and you could grind wheat into flour in it to then make bread, you could make steel tools, that were slighty better than iron and worse than diamonds, you could make elevators, cement, ropes, coal made from netherrack, donuts, etc. You could even make a frickin -weed- hemp farm! This is a standalone mod, so it's not compatible with Forge, but there is a version called Better With Mods that IS compatible with Forge. It's also a total conversion mod, meaning it completely overhalls aspects of the game. Yogscast once did an video covering this mod ages ago when it first released. It's nice to see how far the game has changed.

i would genuinely watch a full Minecraft playthrough of this please that would be so sick

The "GLOOM" or "NEW MOON" thing lowkey feels like a horror mod for minecraft and with the Ominous music and sounds, CHILLS

The part at 29:50 where you showed everything tedious of the mod was so smooth man, even if some of them were repeated a couple of times it's so smooth you can't even notice

Ah, Better than Wolves. I _adored_ it's approach to mechanisms and tech back in the day, which I can only describe as "cellular automata as infrastructure," but aside from bits here and there like the changes to the health and hunger system and revamped potions, the early game changes eventually soured it for me. I feel like it makes the mistake of giving players a defined route of progression, rather than giving a series of problems and solutions to those problems.

34:30 the song in the background is the same track that Slimecicle used in his song Jort Storm. I just randomly noticed it playing, I have no idea what that instrumental is or where it’s from, but now it’s forever connected to the beautiful song that is Jort Storm

I used to play the mod TerraFirmaCraft on MC 1.7.10. It offered a slower and more challenging yet fun Survival Mode that I really liked. It made Minecraft feel like a legit survival game, and accomplishing certain stuff felt more satisfying than in vanilla. On the other hand, I found some parts tedious. Didn't know Better than Wolves was taking a similar route, and this seems even _more_ tedious for me. There are fans of this kind of gameplay, tho, so to each their own, I guess.

I would think that finding even an abandoned village is super useful. It's shelter that you don't have to dig out of the ground

It saddens me to see what this mod has become since the last time I played it. It has gone from a bit more challenging technological mod to pure unadultered tedium.

“Doing some Knitting” *eats the Knitting*

It’s amazing to see Better than Wolves is still alive, because I actually used it way back when Minecraft was still in Beta. Back in 2012, I wanted windmills in Minecraft, and BtW added windmills that spun, so that’s all I used it for. That world was on a Lenovo laptop I had in college. So long ago now.

37:43 Did he just cut off the creepers balls 😟

Damn, I remember a way older version of Better Than Wolves being featured on the Yogscast a million years ago. This is so different!

36:10 you have creeper oysters

A simple tip; you could just easily brake the chests in the desert temple with your iron axe, which would make your storage problem to be solved immediately :)

8:51 blud done spent all that time waiting for that shit to cook, then got like 2 hunger bars 😭

Hardcore lactation sounds like a cool feature, i should search it up to learn more about it, and you should too!

man, love your editing. it made me stay invested to watch this vid, keep it up!

I haven't played BTW since the difficulty of the early game ramped up past the point where I found it fun, but it's great to see it again! I hope you enjoy!

I saw a quick video of this mod that said part one that came out a year ago and had no part 2 so im so glad someone is playing this mod, and someone I enjoy watching too! love the content and hope you enjoy this mod

37:32 sure "oysters"

I love the effort put into the editing without overediting it too much.

seeing the animations for the progress bar and the objectives, i thought it was part of the mod. Amazing Job 👍👍👍

This is very accurate to human history, struggling with cooking food, then advancing to stone tool and being able to use your resources to your advantage, to interdimensional travel

you know the video is good when you're half an hour in and he has one iron tool which he got as a drop

best "better than wolves" video on UKposts

Bro kept leaving the fire after putting like one stick on it and then coming back all “oh no all my progress 😮😮 better put another stick on there and leave again. That’ll do it for sure this time.” Like bro

Amazing video. Looking forward to see the next episode! here's some tips for if you continue this series(and helpful for people who watch this vid and are excited to try: - the looted desert temple has actual chests at the bottom that you can harvest with the iron axe :) - you can use control button to place tools into blocks and save inventory space - sharp stones don't actually do more damage(the tool doesn't take damage, its like empty hand) but you can craft a wooden club with 2 sticks

37:50 mf got their balls 😭😭

what a mad man, if the next part is uploaded in less than 5 months from now I'll suscribe lol

My dude literally had water source in his house and went miles away to plant sugar canes while saying he has to walk as less as possible...

41:55 Mod Creator: uhhhh desert temples no longer spawn with obsidian

I used to love the mod, even when it started making early game more difficult. But at some point it just got so tedious and punishing I dropped it. A while ago I did go back to it, I think there was either a update/mod that reenabled beds. Tedious nights could get skipped again, and the night gets simulated. I kinda want to give it a try now again.

18:56 When you kept saying “It’s legit” it just made me more skeptical…

Bruh drop an F for my boy the Creeper getting his jewels burgled 💀💀

Bruh your patience is absolutely legendary - I binged this and some of your other videos recently and it’s amazing how high quality your vids are. Like “yeah imma basically just COMPLETE hypixel” and actually following through with 3k hours is WILD. Great stuff ^^

the patience this man has absolutely baffles me. i would've stopped play once i realized i had to do all that for a crafting table

did anyone else get angry when he kept leaving the camp fire unattended for it to go out? like bruh just wait for it to finish cooking

Even though this is the first video I’ve seen from you I’d love to see you turn this into a mini or long term series this was insanely entertaining and has earned yourself a sub

Please keep making more videos like these!

"This fire going out is the worst thing that can happen to me" Also him: *leaves the base for long periods of time even after the fire went out twice already*

Going to need a full series of you trying to beat the game and just making a house with everything in it and such

I actually love the idea of this mod basically forcing you to go through Minecraft at the pace of essentially human history. I'd wnjoy a mod that maybe did a bit more with this or did a few things better, but i definitely think it'd be interesting

1 hour of a RageTrain video + some snacks + a cozy place = Best Life!!

Have you considered Gigeresque Mod? It is one of the most Underrated, yet Scariest mod out there. With the Xenomorph and the structure it adds, alongside plenty of mechanics, it is one refined horror mod. You should give it a shot. :)

Dude….. this is almost exactly like actual survival in real life but a bit faster

Nice vid! Was really interesting to see the base wall getting thicker every once in a while.

ok so one slight correction to 0:19, this mods development goes quite a bit before 2013. Its earliest development was seen in 2010, with the first known video about it being made in 2011 by the Yogscast. Its also pretty likely that a lot of the features from the original mod would go to inspire the Create mod

Looking forward to more videos of this! Better than Wolves' progression is incredible as you slowly claw your way up from powerless weakling hiding in holes in the ground to becoming undisputed lord of the world. Every milestone along the way makes you feel so overpowered.

Ah, this gave me nostalgia for playing this mod back in the day. At first the extra difficulty was fun, and a lot of vanilla minecraft still seems shockingly easy to me compared to how BtW has made me feel it "should" be, but past a certain point...

0:33 Dont Starve be like

this mod made me experience existential dread. I played for 3 hours yesterday and achieved nothing, couldn't make it past day 3, even in relaxed mode. in my last run, I picked a bad spot to dig and ended up picking away at a single block of stone all night long. then, I broke the block of dirt above it hoping to have a 1-block roof over my head. the block above that one fell right in front of me, putting me in the exact same situation. I compared this situation to my entire life and had an existential crisis.

Protect this man at all costs, he has the "leave trees floating" pass. Mad respect man. Killer vid too

i remember watching the yogscast review this mod years ago, it is good to see this mod still has support to this day.

Grass is a plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in a lawn and other places. Grass gets water from the roots in the ground. Grass is usually pigmented with the colour ‘green’. Grasses are monocotyledon, herbaceous plants. The grasses include the "grass", of the family Poaceae (also called Gramineae). Also sometimes it is used to include the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae). These three families are not closely related but belong to different clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a common life-style. The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others. Many grasses are short, but some grasses, like bamboo can grow very tall. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places, even if they are very cold or very dry. Several other plants that look similar but are not members of the grass family are also sometimes called grass; these include rushes, reeds, papyrus, and water chestnut. Grasses are an important food for many animals, like deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars, and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows. Without grass, dirt can wash away into rivers (erosion). Graminoids include some of the most versatile plant life-forms. They became widespread toward the end of the Cretaceous. Fossilized dinosaur dung (coprolites) have been found containing grass phytoliths (silica stones inside grass leaves).[Grasses have adapted to conditions in lush rain forests, dry deserts, cold mountains and even intertidal habitats, and are now the most widespread plant type. Grass is a valuable source of food and energy for many animals.Lawn grass is often planted on sports fields and in the area around a building. Sometimes chemicals and water is used to help lawns to grow. People have used grasses for a long time. People eat parts of grasses. Corn, wheat, barley, oats, rice and millet are cereals, common grains whose seeds are used for food and to make alcohol such as beer. Sugar comes from sugar cane, which is also a plant in the grass family. People have grown grasses as food for farm animals for about 4,000 years. People use bamboo to build houses, fences, furniture and other things. Grass plants can also be used as fuel, to cover roofs, and to weave baskets. n English, the word "grass" appears in several phrases. For example: "The grass is always greener on the other side" means "people are never happy with what they have and want something else." "Don't let the grass grow under your feet" means "Do something". "A snake in the grass" is about a person that will not be honest and will trick others. Grass is sometimes used as a slang term for cannabis (also called pot, weed, or marijuana)

Honestly, this seems a lot of fun to play with a community of people. I may have to try and convince my eSports org to set this up as the first modded server we do.

37:00 there balls u mean

Hope this gets a Part 2, years ago when this was a new mod, most content creators I watched started playing this mod and then stopped halway through it :(

Brother, the quality of this video is crazy! Sooo well edited!

I really hope you dont stop this as soon as you beat it! Id love to see the journey of you building a house, doing late game minecraft stuff and just being cool in this mod!

I love watching this mod (as slow as it is) but there were never that many good vids or lets plays on it. Cant wait for ep2 keep it up!

I wasn't expecting castrating creepers to be a part of this mod but I'm glad it is

5:40 Camman18 is gonna hate you for this

Ngl this mod is just if Minecraft and Dont Starve mixed imagine they added overheating and freezing to really go full Dont Starve mode

First time I'm excited to see the next episode of a Minecraft series in quite some time. The simplicity is refreshing when compared to the clusterfuck of modpacks that are usually picked. Good job on the editing by the way, just as simple but pretty damn polished

26:39 just had a flash back to something. "when LIGHT is subsumed by SHADOW..." damn... it fits pretty well.

I haven't heard of this mod in over decade. It's insane it's still supported.

Hey, great to see someone who recognizes that this is a singular mod, instead of associating all modded Minecraft with 'modpack'! Also not playing in Hardcore is a great choice, so you can actually experience the mod as intended.

can we all take a minute to talk about the fact he used the shears to remove the creeper's balls like it was nothing

Loved the video and it seems fun to play or add to a survival world and have friends join and not tell them. keep up the great work.
