Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

Not doubting the concept- just mojangs ability to properly implement. Being realistic is far from being negative.

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

I agree seasons would be a very cool feature, unfortunately it would probably mean FC would have to fix it.

Re: Anyway around a Lighting Bug?

if you do half slab outside the door block for door and half slab inside it works fine and gives the inside a kind of entry way instead of just a wall with a door in it.

Re: Anyway around a Lighting Bug?

use half slabs of stone grass or what ever the material you used for the path leading to your front door on the exterior to bring the interior and exterior to the same height.

Re: Question about nether portals

Thanks for the great info- it will come in handy while i figure this mess out. EDIT: So I got my portal issue fixed, the portal from my base dropped me on an island approx 20 x 20.

Question about nether portals

While I was out exploring I built I nether portal about a minecraft day walk from my base I wanted to use nether rack as markers in the dessert. The portal dropped me right on a fortress bridge. When I got back to my base I built a second portal which sent me to the nether portal at the fortress. Wh...

Re: Vanilla Feature court - Session 1 - Analog Redstone

I for one never play vanilla- only reason I play MC is because of BTW. Based on what I have seen of Mojangs additions to the game, this new red stone thing isnt going to be spectacular. I would prefer that you (FC) did what ever is the best thing for the mod and not worry if there is a significant d...

Re: AAARHG!!!! Fuck you, Mickey Mouse!

I played wow for about 5 minutes several years ago. Frankly after playing Everquest for several years WOW was just way too easy. I used to be a big fan of MMORPG not so much with the advent of Free to play. So now I just stay away from them.

You know, that remark really makes me feel something is off about the game. "Oh noes! Zombies break down my sturdy wooden door, so I'll just replace it with this flimsy, mostly open-air gate and I'll be safe!" I agree It does seem odd that Zombies dont break gates/ trap doors and villager...

Re: 4.65 Balance Observations and Discussion (SPOILERS)

Fucking spiders- the first web I saw was shot at me. Very surprising and makes spiders a mild PITA. Downside IMO is spiders randomly shooting webs around the landscape even when not attacking/chasing player. This seems like it may become an issue in mob traps. It also adds a requirement for spider ...

- rewrite no point in stories - Chasing a herd of animals for food was very cool and lots of fun. Seemed a little food intense at first but never got near starving.
