Good lord... can you really do that?
"Here, just hold tight a second while I skin you..."
Mhm, tis part of Dartcraft. Its dumb as hell, and a bit weird, but...since Mojang went and completely fucked up the cow's sounds, I have an intense, burning hatred for all cows that's only eclipsed by my burning hatred for creepers. I seriously
HATE those fucking sounds.
Personally, I play Ultimate with a few additions: TreeCapitator and PowerCraft, mostly. The former because I don't want to be forced to do magical fuckin research just so I can properly cut down a damn tree, and the latter because its the first mod I ever used, way back when it was just a set of redstone logic gates, and the conveyors and elevators it adds are really damn handy. Oh, also, I've custom-configured Ultimate so I spend less time grinding for crap, and more time spent actually
making things.
