BTW adds vine traps to lure mobs into a pit, no tile entities needed.

instead of classic lightning to activate them or your blaze spawner, what about having them hit by a ghast ball activates them? It seems like an alternative that fits the frankenstein theme very well, and at the moment it's dangerous and takes time. IIRC the latest snapshot lets you craft ghast ball...

I made this for the same purpose. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg39/scaled.php?server=39&filename=btwpulser.png&res=medium The input signal for this has to stay on from the start to the end however, i don't know if a button stays on long enough for that. You may have to make that pulse a b...

A waste of time? For horizontal signals, your method uses only 1 redstone every 4 blocks. Redstone is pretty much the only resource i've ever had a shortage of, and though you can now make redstone, it never hurts to have alternate ways to send signals. And yes the signal is slowed down, but sometim...

1. Doesn't really matter gameplay-wise, though if your pc is slow, having a larger save file doesn't help offcourse. If you move to a new location in the same world, that world grows larger. So if you have performance problems already when playing minecraft you may want to start in a new world to no...

Well that is not normal. You are probably doing something wrong in your device, you should give some pictures so we can find the error. If not what says you won't make the same mistake again with any other type of elevator? Item decay is 5 minutes iirc. Long enough for an elevator from bedrock to th...

Well platforms moving up carry items lying on top of them with them. So you could dump your items on a platform, move the platform up and then release a water current to collect the items.

Why are your torches going out btw? could you give some pictures perhaps?

Not going to happen: way to much (annoying) coding involved and a potential bugfest

For me ravines and mineshafts. Sure they look cool and add some feel to the game, but they're a pain in the ass to explore. If you'd only run into them once in a while, it would be all right but they are EVERYWHERE. Stumbling into an area where 4 different mineshafts collide in mid of a cave is not ...

I have them too, awesome indeed! Making the cube again is really simple actually once ytou get the hang of it, start by making a long straigth line. Then fold it 6 times so you get a 6*36 plane, and then fold that plane 6 times and you have your cube again. BTW did you try using them as ear piercing...

The puzzels were a bit easy, yeah, and 'hunt the texture' was annoying too sometimes, but for the rest it was awesome imo. Great humor, great setting, puzzels are fun, voice-actors were superb, playing the co-op with a friend is pure gold, lots of attention to details (co-op robots and their animati...

No nothing at all should have updated around the buddy blocks. I tested it in a desert area with nothing at all around it that could have set off the buddy. And even if there was something i missed, i also tested a few normal blocks just to be sure it was only happening to saplings, so if there was ...

Buddy blocks that are placed next to a sapling sometimes give off a pulse (as if a block next to it has updated) when they shouldn't (i.e. when the tree hasn't grown yet). I noticed this when testing my tree farm, and this guy here did so to: http://www.sargunster.com/btwforum/viewtopic.php?f=3&...

This all works beautifully when I stand there fertilizing the tree with foul food/bonemeal, however there's one problem: I'm using a BUDdy block to detect the tree growth which works 100% of the time when I use bonemeal, but if I just leave the sapling there, after roughly 5-10 minutes, the BUDdy w...

I remember someone asking that exact same question a long time ago in these forums. Then i searched for it: it was you!

http://sargunster.com/btw/index.php?title=Detector_Rail_Variants BTW adds 2 new detector rails and messes with the vanilla one. If BTW is installed the vanilla detector rail (the one with the stone pressure plate) will only detect occupied minecarts (chest, furnace or mob) and will not detect empty ...

I've thought about building a sideways pushing tree farm too, but i never got around to building it. It's very nice to see that the concept works. Great job! I've got a few questions tho: - Why do you have hoppers at every spot to collect the sand? If you place torches there, the sand should break i...

well, BDs are not really all that expensive anymore; once you find a spawner, loading the area around it with cobble and coming back after playing for a few hours can easily get you a few stacks of mossy - and that's ignoring automated designs. Soul urns take a bit of an involved setup, but at 1 cl...

For wheat, i think most of us use a semi automatic farm where the harvesting is automatic but the planting is done manually. Fully automatic wheat farms (auto planting, growing and harvesting) are not that difficult to make, but they are rather expensive since you need a block dispenser for each blo...

Wow, I am quite impressed. Any reason why you wanted to move the piglets every 5 minutes instead of just having 5 chambers which they wait in for 20 minutes? (Not saying it would be better, just wondering what your reasoning to that was) If you want 4 chambers in in which they wait for 20 minutes, ...

Nice, i'm building something very similar atm. Instead of having pairs of pigs breed in carts, i just have a big fenced area where the pigs breed, and at 5 min. intervals about 1/4th of the floor opens up by pistons so 1/4th of my pigs drop down, get channelled into aging chambers, and then killed. ...

Title says it all pretty much. Add a new recipe for pistons using 3 siding instead of 3 wooden planks. Thoughts?

The idea is simple, a block that when you look at it gives off a red stone signal. Your post is also simple. Way too simple. Why do you want it? How would it in any way enrich the game? Unless i'm missing something, it's nothing but a button that can be pushed from a long distance. If you suggest s...

Words cannot the awesomeness that would be.

It's 3 axles not 2. But yes that has been like that forever. It's a data value limitation, more than 3 is simply not possible without using tile entities (not an option).
(btw i checked if somehow 3.22 jumped from 3 axles to 2, that's not the case)
