Re: Your Best Design Pics and Vids

It might be a good idea to have someone make a sticky that's locked with certain vids or pics that illustrate a certain concept so others can benefit. If the powers that be create such a thread, there is a construction from the original Minecraft forum thread I would nominate. It was the one where ...

Re: BTW: Design Philosophy

Interesting discussion and definitely a sign of what positive effects moving to a new forum has brought; intelligent discussions :D For me, one aspect of BTW that I very much enjoy is that the progress feels much more logical than in several other mods. We're not going from using stone pickaxes to r...

Re: Windmills vs. Waterwheels

Windmills are the only mechanical power source we can use in the nether at this point. Flower has also said that he wants to increase the need/usefulness of going to the nether (examples can be seen in that several of the first blocks implemented in BTW require nether-material) and he also mentioned...

Re: Dispenser and Detector questions

Just a redstone torch 88:88 display, run by timers and kept in check by sunrise and sunset. Too much work for what it provides though, really... That last part quite accurately describe the main part of what I do in Minecraft :p I'd say I spend about 80% of my time working on design ideas and 20% a...

Re: Your Best Design Pics and Vids

I'm also waiting to see if we get spoiler tags. If not, then I might finally have to take the step to making videos rather than merely screenshots. :p

Re: Dispenser and Detector questions

Basically the current plan is to have an airship over a body of water. The access would be provided by an elevator that drops underwater, called (and triggered for lift again) by firing an arrow into a detector hooked up to a t-flop and, by extension, the elevator mechanism. The problem is getting ...

Re: Say hello!

Hello...my name is FlowerChild, and I'm an alcoholic. Wait, is this the right forum? :) Hello FlowerChild. Wait, I might also be in the wrong place. :) Um, yeah. I came here to say "hi". Hi. If you've changed your username or avatar, I will most likely not recognize you (at least not for ...

Re: Castle Build - progress display

Regarding the gap, it should be fixable I think. Have you tried having the anchors next to each other and not with a blocks width between them? For my hidden staircase, the pulleys were connected like this: http://i.imgur.com/JHJwc.jpg and when lowered it looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/67ieq.jp...

Re: Dispenser and Detector questions

A few questions I've wanted to ask (and now they don't get buried in minutes, yay!) about a few features. First, a couple reposted from the old thread: On another note entirely, two questions-- Can platforms take anything with them apart from blocks in item form (minecarts/boats, or any blocks?) an...
