Before I begin, massive disclaimer: I have not played this mod for the better part of a year. likewise I have only barely kept up with the community for that same time. I will likely not be a member of the community for a long time to come.* Nevertheless, the nature of what I'm about to address is s...

You know, I actually like this one; He's self aware enough to know he sucks at something and even has a sense of obligation to others. I haven't seen those traits from the anonymous passers by in months! The sad bit is I'm only half joking... But enough of Devil''s Advocate humor. Even if this guy i...

I obviously don't really think destroying what a player has built up over time is ever a good idea, it's just that dying seems to me trivial to overcome in BTW and an absolute joke in vanilla. Trivial? My God man. You must be an absolute god at BTW :) Interjecting with something from personal exper...

In my experience, if you can work out the aesthetics first, it's probably the better idea.* In the end, as long as it's good enough, you're not exactly going to be working with the internals much after you've finished so it's easier to take pride in you work if you built it specifically to look good...

Has anyone else been having problems with mobs / animals / villagers passing through walls or getting stuck in floors? I logged on the other day to find this in my villager housing: http://i.imgur.com/l7YjDR3.png I know I've also seen a few instances of spiders getting through walls they shouldn't ...

Ooooooooh. :D :D :D Let me get my theories churning. The theme of "Invaders from beyond the sea<reality>" is pretty clear but it leaves the question of who is the invader. Three possibilities spring to mind. First is that the monster are the invaders. If this is the case, "The hammer ...

There are 16 colors.

As Sterling Red says there's no way to make it connect but you can still "fix" it by finding a way to make it look intentional
For example: Incorporating the section into a support beam or another structure.

I think the OP would have accounted for Zombies if that were the case, given that this village is stated to be near his base. The other possibility that comes to mind Duke, is that you might be faced with one of a couple bugs. There's a very frustrating issue on the server I play on server right now...

Crossposted from Creeper chemistry with some additional stuff that would be off topic there. I think there may be a few points to consider here: Firstly, If Savagelung's idea has merit, then the creeper oysters may have more in common with digestive organs or hormonal glands than testicles. Secondly...

So, back to the topic... Given that creeper oysters at least contain a chemical catalyst that can combine iron and diamond, I would guess they play a role in their explosion mechanism as well. Ever since FC made creepers drop nitre instead of gunpowder, it seems like they would need a second compon...

Well then: If Pumpkintown has a mob trap and, last I heard, no pig farm and I've got an animal farm on my project shortlist, then how about we divvy things up into a trade union?: If I supply the tallow, Whitestone & Brimstone, while Pumpkintown provides the Nitre (And we'll see about Coal/Reeds...

Hey Folks! I've got a couple things for you today: Namely mercantilism and philanthropy. http://i.imgur.com/9NpFgQC.png Legend: Red for spawn/Strongholds White for Villages Green for Player bases & objects of interest(Objects of interest will be marked blue later) None of the labeling is done fo...

Six have you put all 4 quadrants somewhere in this thread? As a matter of fact a comglomerated version is in this thread, although only a very few things are marked: Six opened the North portal a little while ago. I haven't taken the time to reveal the entrance to the the East Stronghold just yet b...

I've had two noteworthy observations in my playing. The torch changes have made coal more feel valuable, to the point where when building I find myself turning whatever I can into nethercoal, but I've only found it to be a bottleneck in the early game. In the early game aboveground, I am prompted to...

Six opened the North portal a little while ago. I haven't taken the time to reveal the entrance to the the East Stronghold just yet but the positions of both are marked on these maps, courtesy of Six. http://i.imgur.com/ryp62bP.png Red dots for strongholds, Black for Spawn. The third stronghold rema...

I've been given advice in the past to the point that you can in fact speed up the rate at which vines grow. The trick is that Vines can grow on multiple walls within the same block space, and that the vine on each wall will grow as it's own distinct entity. I haven't had a chance to do an efficienc...

Hunh, I can see some potential value in this: Folks have talked about baiting mobtraps with animals now that hostile mobs eat them and dangling chckens and cows from ropes as bait would be both space efficient and comical.

Yeah man, go right ahead. Just keep the typical road convention that most everyone's been using and it should be fine. If you need extra cobble, I've got a cobble gen down in my base somewhere. Thanks for the cobble offer; I've taken you up on it. Feel free to avail yourself to my own facilities in...

Findings: After a short test, neither tamed cats nor ocelots appear to eat or have any interest in creeper oysters. Whyever creepers fear cats, that particular reason is not among them.

Hey FC: Remember how you killed me back when the server was young? Well apparently, there was a problem with that and an item you should have received has only now been delivered. You should be able to find it outside the front of your base. (Just a quick gag: Nothing you can't tear down in five sec...

I think there's another possibility to be looked at: Even if Steve himself can all to easily flee too warmer domains, or is unaffected, that does not mean everything he has created would be so unsusceptible or easy to move. For example, if part of his activities are dependent something that requires...

Alright then, I get the feeling either whatever Mojang is talking with the words "player freedom" about and what I am aren't quite the same thing or they're taking it to the point of rampancy but it seems close enough anyways. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and my bit in the othe...

Okay, I'm going to make a point based on these quotes and while I think still important and relevant, I think it also opens a whole new can of worms about one of Minecraft's core aesthetics that would require it's own topic and I should also ask first: Is now an appropriate time for a something tha...
