Re: New Release! (BTW CE v1.0.0)

Awesome work, can't wait to see what future versions may bring.

I'm curious about the rationale of bringing back the comparator. Will it be used for measuring chest fullness, comparing signals, or both as in vanilla?

Chickens don't lay eggs if server is shut down at night.

Whenever I shut the server down after feeding the chicken, the following morning there's no egg.

If it's relevant, I believe the chicken in question is on a spawn chunk.

Re: [Spoilers?] Pre-nether chicken farm?

Spiders are only 1.5 blocks wide and can fit between fence posts spaced like that. That explains it, thanks :), I got the idea somewhere that they were 2 blocks wide. This is my current world's Chicken coup :) It's got a grass roof for safer grass growth and blocks spiders from spawning inside. Sor...

[Spoilers?] Pre-nether chicken farm?

Tagged for spoilers just to be sure. I've been trying to develop my bases the most I can before going through progression bottlenecks like diamonds and the nether(mostly because I'm a chickenshit).

Nethercoal torches present in strongholds

Not sure if an oversight or not, but I'm still quite far away from a point where I can access the nether, but while caving in one of my HCS bases, I ended up finding a stronghold, which had plenty of nethercoal torches at the library section. Am wondering if this is an oversight and I should discard...

Lightning does not occur on snow biomes

Not sure if intended. Noticed I had never seen lightning strike in a tundra, so I made 2 tests on creative, one on a large biomes and other on flat snow, and in both no lightning ever struck snowy biomes. The minecraft wiki seems to agree this is the case: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Thunderstor...

Re: Show us your builds!

I believe they meant a kiln for smelting ores and such.

Re: MInecraft in Latin

Though I couldn't help with Latin in particular, I was wondering if there could be some thread to distribute language packs, as I would be interested in using a German pack(though I know very little of it), and could offer help in making a Portuguese one.

Frozen lakes provide too much safety

Currently I'm building a base in a snow biome, and I've noticed that big enough frozen lakes serve as a great hiding spot at night and as a perfect place to dry clay, due to mobs not spawning on ice and rarely pathing through the big lakes.

Gravel and sand can floating over snow

If you try to put sand or gravel above the block that snow occupies, by placing it to the side of another block, it stays afloat over the snow.

Dealing with ravines

Over most of my playthroughs, I tend to explore lots and lots of ravines, probably because I refuse to dig tunnels looking for caves before I have a crucible, which forces me to explore surface caves until they lead to lower strata. After so much time trying to find new ways to deal with them, as we...

Been a long time since I last posted here.

So, I've recently reached a point in my new world where I feel comfortable searching for villages and, more importantly, temples. Thing is, Spawn seems to be just one big island, as far as I could check, and whenever I try making tunnels through the nether, I end up on some cave system, which a litt...

I haven't yet gotten around to this, but I believe you can also use the new chicken egg times as timers for food each day. That may not work well, though, so you might want to stick to Sockthing's design

Re: Tricky problem, need solution ideas.

If you already have the saw, you could make a fence around the island. If not, I guess you could do a ugly floating dirt fence as well.
