netherrack.
no seriusly lol, i used them in the throneroom on top of pilarry things.

for underwater: glowstone or pumpkins if i'm short on glowstone.

for my really really over designed places, redstone lamps set in the ceiling linked to a centraized circuit that runs around the complex.

well you could try moving any redstone wiring away from the walls abit to limit the usefullness of that, or reverse the signal, or add in 'and gates' or 'nor gates' so if they do say try breaking a lever for something, it could trigger a permanant shutdown/activation of the system. maybe finding a l...

can i point out something people i don't think have considered (or at least not mentioned) about mobs being scared of tracks.. mob spawner with minetracks across the spawnable area... the mobs will move off the tracks fast and ... well fall into whatever monster killy thing has been set up. unless t...

you could build your base at bedrock, then all the stuff from farms/ mobspawners you can channel down to your base...
just a silly suggestion.

... is it my imagination or that block only sending redstone signal 9(?) squares? looks like it might alter its output value during the day, if so that pretty much is the first block i know of with a lower strength signal.

i guess their serius aboput altering redstone.

theres some nice minetunnel systems near the startpoint, but yeh you need a thats kinda extreme.

alot of the data shown on f3 was hidden a few updates ago.
maps have been made for usefull and a device for measuring distance was added.

with later BTW teck youl be able to make extra redstone, that and after a day or so of exploring deepcaves i tend to end up with chests of the stuff. as for gold, thats easy once you set up mob farms in the nether. extensive minecrart railsystems are actually positively encouraged with better than w...

if you wanna transpoort items you gotta look at BTW hoppers and filters, especally with watercurrents etc.

your silly,

the simple answer is redstone.

lookup redstone on blacklcats thread or youtube. powered rails pretty much replaced any real use of coal powered carts. but.. vmc has hinted at re visiting the minecart and updating it. i think several btw updates tweaked the system slightly as well.

i'm running a pretty fancy pc. (running windows 7 x64) just curious as to what version of java is recomended to minimize any potential trouble with better than wolves. java 6 and java 7 are out, and theirs the 32 and 64 versions of those too. the main reason why i;m asking is i'm planning on startin...

wow that smart piston, vid, has well reduced the amount of space and redstone in my next project greatly, thanks, thats a very interesting and sneaky idea. its basically going to be a grand clock built into a house, but that smart piston idea means i can well, get rid of alot of redstone and timing ...

some world seeds seem to favour diferent animals, i did have fun though getting chickens to my base, i had to travel 2 days and nights though forests and deserts to find them... then bringing them back was just as fun, i had to wall myself and them in a few times until it was safe to travel again......

its random where the creatures are, youve just been unlucky. it took me 2 weeks of hunting on my favourite map to find a wolf.... well i did start in a desert... it sounds like everything installed fine. just start doing some trecks out to the north/ south/ east/ west, etc exploriong the area. you s...

with your new project RTH will you be able to get past alot of the restriction encoded into minecraft and allow you a far greater freedom of block behavour and ideas? I was just considering this as minecraft is an ongoing growing program i;m guessing alot of the underlying code is pretty intergrated...

may i ask a very very off topic question: doesn't have to give anything away its just a thought/ observation of mine with your new project RTH will you be able to get past alot of the restriction encoded into minecraft and allow you a far greater freedom of block behavour and ideas? edited: moved to...

so many *dead* people will love you for this. *giggles*

just read the talk between lex and fc from when modloader was stolen back when he stole pretty much modloader, he insisted he wasn't strongarming people into using forge... sighs you were right to step away from the forge issue and do your own thing. also, their was talk of mincraft API in developme...

ive been keeping an eye on things since the start, i just couldn't force myself to watch 7 hours of well him. thats kinda why i worked out how to sign up, here and in mcf so i can help and suport your cause. i never use forums, well i posted a two things on neoscavenger. (i suport that designer too).

sounds like a wonderful way to set up a trap though

THEY CANCELLED BWF DUE TO RESPECT FOR YOU! THE FIGHT IS OVER! WE WON! don't be deceived, its not that simple, just putting up a cancelled sign doesn't mean its over. threy still have the code and the person responsible hasn't stepped forward, this is just an attempt to hide until it blows over. its...

from what i can tell your your wonderfully designed and bug free mod, i have no concerns over your skill as a programmer. can i ask a odder question though. If lex is not connected with the blatant rip of of your code, how does he know so much about it and complain about it so much. it sounds more l...

they seem to be targettiong the 'no means no' banners, just swap to one of the other banners.

report here though which banner was removed, if they start targetting other banners, well it will give everyone here a good reason to report confront the moderators about well.. abusing their power.

funnier still would be BTW hardcore enderman... anoy one and a whole lot turn up, even ones you never knew were there

@ katalliaan

love your siggy :)
