Re: Chicken Farm angst

For fun I spent the last half an hour testing in vanilla. Here are the results of my tests I normally play with around 250-275 fps with about 200-300 villagers in water, I had 8 fps and even with sound off I had only about 32 fps. It got quite annoying after awhile so the liberal application of lava...

I'm sorry, I do actually want opinions, mainly is this just me or are others seeing this too?

Re: Anvils? Better or Worse? I'm not sure

I must admit, when I first heard of this I assumed the enchanting books where like the BTW Arcane Scrolls. This is just... wow worse than anything I could imagine. So many other, better ways of doing this. I agree, this is an attempt to save the anvil.

What sort of machine are you running that can't handle 3 chickens?
I have never had that problem, even on my old computer.

Re: With the RTH (Return To Home) will there be a new forums

I think this forum should be kept, I mean, it's still BTW.

Also, do you mean change to something other than Sargunster? We have this place on a pretty good lockdown.

The Current State of Vanilla MC average player

import rant #WARNING RANT AHEAD rant.start I decided to ask the opinion of this community because of its maturity and the low quantity of MC noobs. What do you think of the state of the noobs coming into MC? I have personally been surprised (sometimes pleasantly) at the rate in which new players hav...

Re: Light Block vs Glowstone - what gives more light ?

Lava is my favorite lighting source, however its very clumsy to store, because glass in one of the only good storages for it that gives off light, kinda wish i could fill the vanilla cauldron with lava and use that as a light source. You mean cistern right? It will take a bit of getting used to. In...

Re: Pumpkins can be placed on transparent blocks

But what would this add to BTW? I don't seem to remember needing to place pumpkins on fence posts as a vital part of the tech tree. While this is a legitamate complaint, it is not unnecessary nor important. I hope you don't get a vacation but... good luck.

Re: Fixed spawn when exiting the end

In my humble opinion, I think that the original spawn is not particularly important in anarchy play, or even faction play, the two best (in my humble opinion) ways to play a smp btw server. While spawn is important for new players and compass locations, it is not as important once the players have ...

Re: Nerf Smoothstone Experience

So, I was smelting some cobble into smoothstone for my base tonight, and I realized that removing smoothstone from a furnace actually provides fairly significant experience points. I think smelting cobble should provide less/no experience because it is so easy to renew, and it would be very easy to...

Re: animals in the end

I was not aware you could have animals in the End...

Thinking about it though with HCB being more or less void in the End, I am hard pressed to find a good reason to not just have a base there (provided it is well lit) or at least an endermen/animal grinder there. Or is there something I am missing?

Re: Fixed spawn when exiting the end

Yeah, but I think the suggestion makes sense in terms of creating additional bottle-necks in SMP play. I'll think about it some. Off the top of my head I see two possibilities right away that would both be interesting in their own way. 1st would be to return the player to the portal through which t...

Re: Beginner to BTW: Hardcore Buckets?

One problem I have found was lava buckets, once obtained without HCB are placeable, but impossible to pick up. I suggest that if you decide to change to HCB you should try to get rid of all your lava to avoid problems and/or confusion. Although to be frank, if you like playing casually then you shou...
