Better With Time – Tweaked
An add-on that adjusts several mechanics from Better With Time.
It changes things so they behave the same way they do in Better Than Wolves CE, bringing the gameplay closer to the original design.
Features
🌿 Hemp Adjustments
- Slower growth rate.
- Requires shears to harvest drops.
-
Can be broken by piston pushes.
🔨 Soul Forge Adjustments
- Adds a Dormant Soul Forge, naturally generated in Nether Fortresses.
-
The Soul Forge craft now requires a Dormant Soul Forge + Nether Star.
⚙️ Mechanical & Logic Tweaks
- Slightly increased Saw processing speed to match vanilla BTW CE.
- Optional configuration toggles:
- Restore original Buddy Block neighbor-update behavior.
-
Require strong redstone power for Block Dispensers.
