Wow I didn't know glass acted like that. I'll definately try downloading the map and giving it a go since I don't quite 100% understand how it all works

Re: Mojang is lazy :(

I think if they've done much in the way of npc villages, quests and the like (not to mention new mobs, new items, etc.), then its not neccessarily slow going, just not focused on recipes much

Re: Opinions on MMORPGs

Probably one of the most well thought out MMO(RP)Gs out there that I've ever played is www.pardus.at It's not huge, so the player base is generally more friendly, you tend to know people a lot better, make friends easier etc. It's also turn based, but in such a way that it's not tedious, yet this st...

Re: Pemmican

Aether really missed the mark on that, but they did counter it with extremely strong mobs. If you're going to improve healing, you need a reason. We can already kill most standard mobs in 1 hit (spider jockey being the rare exception)

Re: Question: Elevators

Only platforms attached to the anchor within a certain range from it (5x5x5 area) will be moved.

Battosay has a fantastic video that pretty much explains everything from basic to intermediate elevator construction (and probably bits of expert level as well)

Probably same thing as me, folder remains so if you name the world the same as the previous one, minecraft just uses it's data to make the world

Re: Is it possible to change the biomes?

In game: no Curiously enough I've found a weird way of doing it out of game though. My hard drive's on the way out at the moment, so computer tends to crash from time to time. If I'm playing minecraft at the same time, my world will be deleted from the list ingame, but the folder will still be there...

I've spent about 4-5 hours now looking for slimes and have found 2 . I need eight. Do you know how slime game mechanics work? Slimes only spawn below level 16 and they need 1*1*1 space to spawn. They have more rules for their spawning than other mobs though, check it out here Oh look, same link in ...

Re: Baghdad Battery

So would it be purely aesthetic then, if its not as efficient? Unless I'm not understanding the mechanism that you are suggesting. Currently to transmit redstone vertically you need a redstone torch every 2 blocks. Would this be less?

Re: Hemp flour

How's it underpowered? You need vast quantities for axles for mechanical power, vast quantities for windmills if you don't want to use watermills, and vast quantities for rope for elevators if you are so inclined. Wheat only has 1 use (food), and sugarcane can only make sugar (very niche), maps (meh...

First off, I do appreciate the direct response to my qualms, I am aware this isn't the first time the issue has been raised. Any way you look at it, I can't see diamond being an effective material for the construction of any but the most primitive of tools. To my mind, its inclusion in the Minecraft...

theres a space below the elevator so it can go downwards when you turn the gearbox off, right? Redstone power to gearbox turns it off --> Pulley has no mechanical power --> Pulleys release the platform and it falls No redstone power to gearbox, so its on --> Pulley has mechanical power --> Pulley pu...

Re: New Release! (Version 2.91!)

Now, it's true that getting to the nether can be quite quick if you find a lava source of at least 10 lava source blocks at or close to the surface. If you don't find lava though, you're once again back at having to dig to roughly diamond level depths. Technically you only need 1 lava to make infin...

Re: New Release! (Version 2.91!)

I'm not so sure. Personally (and I'm fairly certain I wouldn't be alone), if I didn't find diamond instantly on digging a mine, but did find lava quickly (fairly likely), I'd probably just use a pair of block detectors to mine obsidian or a mould to place lava then cool it with water to build the po...

I just want to start out by saying I really enjoy the updates, and am really greatful for the people involved in this (especially FC).
