Re: A Message For The Community

As someone bonk'ed by the banhammer on a hunch/impression before: no hard feelings. Actually i wish more creators (videos,music,mods, whatever) would adopt less pander-y mindset. Obviously you really have (had?) a short fuse, but as a dev i get where you're coming from haha. Anyways, thanks for the ...

Re: [Spoiler request] progression to The End - How?

Sure, that's ok. Afaik you don't go around censoring the wiki or anything. If nobody is up to sharing, might be i get to be the first one then. Given the first hint and the second also pointing in that direction (pointing like a club), i'll have to just dump more emeralds into it. Might take a while...

Re: [Spoiler request] progression to The End - How?

So i'll formulate my question more clearly: which trade requirements are needed to be met to get to The End (type+level)? Hence this has been the hint. I've got infused skulls (needed them before for the priest afaik), so i'm going to get that nether star next. I've read the section with "pries...

Re: [Spoiler request] progression to The End - How?

Thanks, but the soulforge thingy has been dealt with*. Still no clue if i've just been unlucky in my priest trades or missing something different for further progression. Sorry, my main concern wasn't the forge so i've not studied the changelog for that. I'm more concerned about getting to the last ...

Re: [Spoiler request] progression to The End - How?

Meaning i can get access to some more tech before actually getting to The End. Good to know. Something else i'll need to do for my "nether-quest" (assuming the forge can't be obtained by crafting anymore, which i'm pretty sure of given the trade..)

[Spoiler request] progression to The End - How?

Hi there. I'm having trouble finding the way to get to the end. I got all Villager Types, my Priest is on lvl 4 and wants an infernal enchanter to progress to 5, which in turn already needs access to The End. So how do i progress? What's with that Dormant Forge trade (which i don't have)? The need f...

Re: Turntables on Chunk boundary

FC was kind enough to give us 'distance to chunk boundary' info on the debug screen without giving away coordinates or other information that may detract from his design intent. You sure? I can see it in my second screen and that's the whole purpose of it :) So yeah, i know about it, but i didn't e...

Turntables on Chunk boundary

Turntable "loses" a redstone torch it is rotating some times, after thinking a little bit about it, i noticed it's directly on a chunk boundary. The entity is not removed, it spawns back sometimes. Couldn't test if a server restart fixes it. To give you the idea of the setup, overall cramp...

That's one of the things I have a slight issue with. The hunt for wither skulls. I kinda stopped playing the server for the last week or so because of it. I know that if I go in there, it's back to killing wither skeletons. I already hunted for at least 16 hours and I've got exactly 1 skull out of ...

Is it a intended feature, that tamed wolves do howl now?
I'm pretty sure it wasn't the case in 4.899+ and i can't find it in the changelog.

In case it's intended, can someone give me a hint how to handle the reach of those sounds? Moved my wolves to a unloaded area for now...
