With fall from the Grace, the Knife pieces are impossible to obtain by normal means. Reasons being: The knife pieces don't spawn in the mirror or minecart room when the floor is Boiler or Grotto from the mod and due to better knife pieces replacing the usuall Knife Piece spots in their respective locations with normal items, it makes it impossible to obtain them if you are unlucky enough to get Boiler or Grotto on the floors where you normally get the knife pieces.:isaac:

It doesn't work.
BrakeDude  [author] 28 Jul, 2024 @ 9:47pm 
@jnub It is compatable. Is it not working for you for some reason?
jnub 28 Jul, 2024 @ 9:19pm 
any chance you could make this compatible with fall from grace?
BrakeDude  [author] 16 Jul, 2024 @ 9:37pm 
@Voxel did you collected pieces at least one after installation or changed settings in DSS?
Voxel 16 Jul, 2024 @ 9:56am 
doesn't even work man
Sillst  [author] 22 Jan, 2024 @ 10:05pm 
Version 1.3

Changes:

- The DSS menu of this mod now stops the in-game time
BrakeDude  [author] 15 Dec, 2023 @ 8:48pm 
@jnub They should not be replaced unless you reroll/void them yourself
jnub 15 Dec, 2023 @ 7:33pm 
How do you get to the Corpse if the knife pieces are replaced?
BrakeDude  [author] 19 Nov, 2023 @ 8:05am 
Version 1.2 is out. If it doesn't update, unsubscribe, launch game (or delete mod folder) and the resubscribe. Any bugs submit in Bug Report.
BrakeDude  [author] 19 Oct, 2023 @ 6:56am 
@Agitatio That's an API limitation unfortunately
Agitatio 14 Oct, 2023 @ 1:03pm 
As previously mentioned, really looking forward to key pieces not being rolled by T.Isaac.
Double_A 22 Jul, 2023 @ 3:10pm 
I've noticed that the knife piece didn't show up in the Fall From Grace's boiler floor's mirror room. I could obtain it normally though.
KingDragonReal 10 Jul, 2023 @ 7:12pm 
This mod doesn't work with mods that add in Custom Rooms
BrakeDude  [author] 3 Jul, 2023 @ 8:07am 
@Crimson Nyx
Probably save for the mod is new since you reinstalled entire steam folder. Try collecting knife peices again or just use DSS menu to configure knife pieces to appear. Other than that is should work normally
Crimson Nyx 3 Jul, 2023 @ 7:49am 
Can't seem to get this mod to work anymore. Recently had to reinstall steam. All other mods are working but this one. I unsubscribed, went into the mods folder and deleted "better knife pieces" and subscribed again yet still not working. Any ideas?
Sillst  [author] 15 Jun, 2023 @ 2:00pm 
Version 1.1

Additions:

- Dead Sea Scrolls menu to toggle knife pieces collection tasks

Fixes:

- Knife pieces not spawning on XL floors.
Silver Felyne 6 Jun, 2023 @ 6:19pm 
At first I was reluctant to get this mod, because they're supposed to be a bit of a challenge, but then I got my extra coin-heart deleted by Mom's Shadow sequence.
You've got my sub.
BrakeDude  [author] 3 Jun, 2023 @ 4:11am 
And if mod won't update, just unsub -> delete mod folder -> resub -> launch game. I dunno how workshop handling updates. :BlameNicalis:
BrakeDude  [author] 3 Jun, 2023 @ 4:10am 
Version 1.1:
Fixed XL floors stuff.
Added Dead Sea Scrolls menu to toggle knife pieces being collected.

This stuff was fixed like half a year ago and not push to workshop. OOPSIE
MetalOxide 5 May, 2023 @ 6:58am 
Doesn't work.
Seth Curry 29 Apr, 2023 @ 11:47am 
After some testing I can confirm, the mod will not work on XL alt floors. For ex: if you go to XL Downpour/Dross after Basement I, the knife piece will not spawn in the mirror room and you will still have to go the mirror floor. Same with Mines/Ashpit XL, the knife will not spawn in the mine cart room and you will still need to the the Mom's shadow sequence. This can be somewhat circumvented by not giving XL floors a chance to spawn by not taking alt paths until their II variant. For example if you go from basement II to Downpour II an XL floor cant spawn. Same with mines. You also get an extra item from mirror world item room
PlayfulPiano 8 Apr, 2023 @ 4:00pm 
Actually, just had it where Knife Piece 1 also didn't work. It was an XL floor so maybe curses might impact it?
PlayfulPiano 8 Apr, 2023 @ 3:57pm 
Knife Piece 2 doesn't seem to properly spawn in the minecart room if you already completed the shadow sequence in an earlier run.
Universe Crap 31 Mar, 2023 @ 5:17am 
knife peace 2 is not working

It's coming eventually, don't worry :)

RazieltheWraith 27 Feb, 2023 @ 7:01pm 
If you disable the mod, do you need to assemble the knife again, for it to be reactivated?
Oneeko Kurubane 31 Jan, 2023 @ 1:26pm 
tbh i feel a bit bad bcs it feels like cheating, but at the same time ts the same thing every time over and over again, the second knife piece is just time consuming and annoying, afgter a while you lear to dodge anyways
ergo 23 Dec, 2022 @ 9:47am 
get rid of the tainted isaac rerolls to knife pieces, can ruin some peoples runs that wanna do mother
wooch4n 21 Dec, 2022 @ 9:40pm 
i think it doesnt work when XL curse. please check it and thank you for making a phenomenal mode! :-)
Nerd Bird 21 Dec, 2022 @ 4:38pm 
Would it be possible to have an option of which pieces get moved? The 2nd piece change is great but the mirror world giving both a treasure and boss item is a bit too powerful imo.

no more tedious Mother
< blank > 16 Dec, 2022 @ 5:18am 
In Antibirth, I always went for the alt path. Now I have to think twice :/ This mod gives me that Antibirth nostalgia so I appreciate it

im tired of dying on cocky keeper on 2 phase knife mini shit game thanks
Plerion 6 Nov, 2022 @ 3:51pm 
@ENTiO - I think that's a very good idea!

@TheTurtleMelon - 3rd reason: people use it :D

The mirror world at least has secondary motivations, like getting new pickups or fighting the boss again for another item. But the Mother chase each and every time is just bland: you go back in progression (temporarily) and have nothing else to win but the knife blade, and may lose everything.

Perhaps a new mod could add another Item Room in the chase world, idk.

In any case, I use 90+ mods and the Mother chase sequence is not at all laggy (in my case). I don't use content heavy mods, so perhaps the vast majority of the lag comes from either one or two heavy ones...
Zainnhy 5 Nov, 2022 @ 10:56am 
I think the first knife piece is fine, however the second one is just outright annoying. I think a good version would be you click all the buttons and then the key piece appears to collect it and leave knife 1 as is.
TheTurtleMelon 26 Oct, 2022 @ 2:49am 
@goodel6382 this has two main reasons to exist in my opinion.

1. after doing the mother knife piece 2 chase 1000 times it becomes very dull and repetitive so skipping it just makes runs to Mother a bit more enjoyable

2. im not sure how many mods you play with but if you have anything over about 50 mods (especially with content mods like FF) the mother chase sequence is SUPER laggy, like sub 20 FPS sort of lag so its really not enjoyable to play and you can take a lot of damage just due to the low framerate, having a way to get around this is really nice
AmarDeus 22 Oct, 2022 @ 6:23pm 
doesn't work when fiend folio is active :c
LiL'Choco 22 Oct, 2022 @ 3:36pm 
B-But the puzzles are the most fun parts of getting the Knife Pieces :((
Marko 22 Oct, 2022 @ 3:22pm 
What, what's the point?
The fun in going to Mother IS the puzzles, what's the use in the Minecart Buttons now?
I mean, I don't wanna hate, but this seems somewhat redundant
certi 22 Oct, 2022 @ 2:18pm 
It didn't feel like it was boring in Antibirth when the appearance of the knife piece was just a one time puzzle. I don't mind the mirror world, because it's similar to how the third knife piece was in the segmented mausoleum, but the knife piece 2 chase is just boring busywork after you've done it so many times.
