Re: Late-game is too easy

Well for one the method you use to fight the wither is exactly what Dnoved said, an indirect way of fighting it. As for building.being a challenge making farms is much more difficult for those of us who aren't exceptionally good at redstone. In the end though the game is about building, and if you ...

Re: Late-game is too easy

You may have a point, but... ...and I can kill withers without even taking damage. I'd like to call BS on that one, unless you're not actually fighting it directly. Exaggeration doesn't help anything. I'm not exaggerating. I dig a long 1x2 tunnel, carve out a room at the end where I create the with...

Late-game is too easy

The early game is a constant struggle to survive, between avoiding starvation and mobs that can kill me in a few hits, and leave me crippled and starving even if I succeed in fending them off, but I feel nearly invincible when I'm wearing a full suit of plate armour with a smite IV battle axe, a pow...

Re: What is it?!?!?

I think it's a photo enlarger, which takes a roll of negatives and projects them onto photographic paper, or in this case a slide, to create a larger positive image. Something along the lines of this:

Re: Animal Suffocation Bug Info Thread

I left these pigs to wander around the large walled-in area surrounding my base, and found a large number of them crowded into this small depression, with dragon orbs and pork chops where pigs had expired. I saw several phasing into the dirt blocks and suffocating in the space of about 30 seconds. T...

How far did you travel to find a mushroom biome?

I had to sail for 100km, zig-zagging through the oceans before I finally found one, and I only spotted it when I reviewed the path I'd taken through Minutor (I find the in-game mapping system woefully inadequate and clunky); I'd sailed past it without noticing since I'd resorted to holding 'w' while...

Re: Blood wood tree experiences

The first time I planted blood wood when it was introduced, I planted on a plateau from which there was plenty of soul sand in view. I made the mistake of letting that world run for an entire weekend while I went out of town. What greeted me upon my return was a twisted nightmare mirror of Yggdrasi...

Blood wood tree experiences

When I read about blood wood trees before crafting my first sapling, I came across stories of them infesting the nether and being nigh-unstoppable except by concerted eradication efforts in creative mode, rumours of them destroying and growing through netherrack and speculation about the potentially...

Re: Mob Trap: A triumph for Hardcore Buckets

This is one of my hardcore buckets mob traps, and my most sophisticated mob trap to date. It's not quite finished; I've still to add vine traps to the central pit, get rid of any cul-de-sacs that mobs can get flushed into, and fill up the spaces where no flushing occurs, but it's working as-is. Wate...

Re: Creeper oyster chemistry. (release thread spoilers)

I thought it might add to the discussion of how creeper oysters work if people knew how diamonds are combined with steel in real life.

Re: Creeper oyster chemistry. (release thread spoilers)

Is anyone familiar with diamond tools in real life? I've got several diamond hole-saws for cutting holes in things (they really grind holes in things, rather than cut), and a set of diamond sharpening stones. Two of the hole-saws are what's known as brazed, which is when diamond grit is kind of weld...

Re: Early game after respawn

I don't bother exploring much after respawn, since I die too easily without decent gear, all the villages will be abandoned and all the desert temples will be looted. Exploration is much better saved for when I can properly equip myself for an expedition, and use the nether to travel to where I'm m...

Re: Tales of Woe: how has a feature of BTW killed your steve

I was sailing through a massive ocean (I always play with large biomes), about 10,000 blocks south of my spawn point and main base, equipped with my first set of plate armour, my first battle axe and mattock, my first fortune III diamond pick and with a completely full inventory, hoping that I'd fin...

Re: Early game after respawn

I just dig a few blocks straight down, create a couple of blocks of dirt out of the dirt piles and plonk one above my head to seal myself in, then wait for morning. Spiders can be a bit of an issue when I emerge in the morning, but I can either punch them from my hole where they can't get me, if I c...
