Bears in the Swamp?

Post by Vitalsigns »

So I understand the dangers of exploring and have had some close calls before including deaths from bears and boars. But a bear in a swamp? I had no defense and I could normally just run to some form of safety. I just thought it was a little unfair that the bear can run normal speed in the swamp while I'm stuck at a walking or crawling pace.

Not sure if you already have, but get Enders and only walk around at max zoomed out it'll save you from bears, but I agree that animals should ,ove more slowly in a swamp :)

I'm not dumb, I understand the game and how animals spawn. I said that it wasn't fair that he is at a normal speed and I'm slowed because of the swamp.

Tried. I know nothing about Java or programming and there is no place that explains how the hell you are supposed to start or use ender's mod. It's like I'm doing it wrong.

If it makes you feel better imagine that all bears can fly, the ground makes no difference to them.

Click the run.bat in the folder. The game will either start, start and then stop shortly afterward, or won't load at all; no need to know anything about programming. If the game doesn't run, then you need to walk through the troubleshooting guide in the Wizards' Tower. It's stickied. If that doesn't help, there's more than a few around here that are good at walking people through getting things going.

Says windows can't find javaw. Means that java isn't where the client is looking right?
