If the game is crashing it's not a non-critical error. This is like asking if there's a way to get your car to ignore running into trees because you really like driving through the forest. Best bet is to contact the mod author and check the logs to see what exactly is causing the crash - hopefully they're still updating the mod and can pinpoint the bug for you.

What system are you playing on, just curious? I had this problem so much in 1.16.5 while playing on a Mac. Although in my game, the growing grass wasn't even onn blocks that should be able to grow grass - I'd come back from exploring to find my fences on top of cobblestone replaced with grass. No idea how to fix it, but I haven't seen the issue since upgrading to 1.17 and switching to Windows.

Heavy hit is useful for certain things that are big and flat - shovel heads, axe heads, plates (before you get a helve hammer) come to mind right now. Otherwise yeah, you're meant to move individual voxels. You'll get faster the more you do it, and the higher up you get in metal the less often you have to do it too.

I don't know what would happen to it in 1.16, but in 1.17 armor can be repaired and shouldn't disappear when it reaches 0 durability, just like your clothes.

Default is the B key, I believe

I hope so, I'm not even hard of hearing but don't always have access to a quiet environment when playing - I rely heavily on subtitles when playing Minecraft and it'd be really cool to see a similar system added here.

Just as an example, from my play session last night I walked around near an old native copper mine from about 3 in-game days earlier. I heard a growl and sprinted away, but nothing followed - I crept back, and inside of this pit, over the course of just 3 nights, there were 5 wolves just chilling. I pillared up and launched 10 or so spears into the pit and killed 4 of them, one ran away and I lost him. It's like this every time I leave my house - whole packs of wolves just everywhere. Each of the large skeletons in the screenshot is a wolf skeleton.

I'm fairly new to VS, about 24 hours in on my first playthrough. The biggest issue for me with wolves has been how quickly they reproduce. I get that they're aggressive for story reasons, but - I settled near a forest that (initially) seemed wolf-free. The first four nights in my little dirt hut, no howls at all. Fifth night, I hear a howl in the distance, and the next day I run into a wolf living in the hills near my house. 7th day, and now there's 2 in the hills, as well as 2 camped out near my clay deposit. Each day, there's more and more wolves, even though I make sure to lure and kill as many as I can whenever I'm out collecting supplies. Closing in on the beginning of September now, and there's 2 wolves near my clay, 3 in the hills to the east, 3 to the west, who knows how many in the forest, and at least 3 or 4 that I have to dodge when I'm taking the long way around the forest to avoid the wolves within it. No matter how many I kill, there are more and more every day - I can't keep up with it. I never would have settled in here if I knew there were wolves nearby, but for the first 4 days there weren't even any signs that there *were* wolves, I only found out until I had already set up camp and crops.

This definitely helped, although I think I may have to agree that the breeding/spawning rate is a bit too high - after casting my first copper sword, I headed outside to find literally 3 wolves camped right in front of my door. I managed to mine enough copper to possibly get some lamellar going so hopefully that will allow me to (checks notes) exit my one-room starter hut without being eaten. All complaints about wolves aside though I'm really having a blast playing this game, I've got to un-learn a few bad habits that I picked up from some other block-based games but something about having to work for literal hours just to unlock "door" is really doing it for me. Thanks for the advice and help here.

Yeah, that's the main method I use - it's just difficult when there's more than one, or when they're located far from water. Guess I better tech up ASAP, and just be extra careful for the time being.

Just noticed that since this was my first post I'm ranked as "wolf bait" in my avatar which seems fitting.

So, I just recently bought the game and am doing my first playthrough. Got a dirt hut set up, found some clay, gradually collecting enough copper nuggets to smelt my first hammer and pickaxe - Nothing around but the occasional portal and the usual neutral wildlife. As soon as the 4th day hit, though, I started hearing wolf howls at night and since then, it's just wolves without end. A pair live in the hills near my house, a pair took up residence near my clay deposit, the forest (which had been peaceful and quiet the first few days) suddenly has no less than 5 wolves in it, taking the long way around to get to my copper deposit put me in the path of another 3 wolves. No matter how many I kill there are always more. Is this normal, that wolves wouldn't spawn until so late in my playthrough? And the number of them? I'm guessing that wolves respawn based on some sort of timer, since it doesn't seem to matter how many I kill near my house, but if anyone could provide some help/insight into how to deal with them I'd be grateful - it's turned what was a really fun playthrough into a bit of a slog, since I can't go more than 16 blocks without running into multiple wolves and I don't have anything more advanced than improvised armor and stone spears.
