Hey sterling, judging from you massive builds, you must have done a ton of mining for redstone and such. Could you (or anyone really) share with me your secrets for getting stockpiles of redstone and other deep earth ores? Cuz tbh, I really dislike staring at a wall of stone for hours as I mine for ...

Dude, it looks totally friggin awesome!. I wish I was as creative/awesome when it came to base design. You really know how to go all out when it comes to your machines. I also like your use of sandstone pillars. My only complaint is that because you're building this for your personally use, you don'...

I'm really sorry about what happened, but I assure you, I was in no means chased by a zombie. Nor did I take refuge from it in your villager house. I was exploring your base when I heard a weird banging noise. At first I thought it was a zombie hitting a metal door, when I came closer I saw a zombie...

Attention base owners. As I was expanding my mine today, I have come across this cleverly hidden anarchy base. If anyone wishes to reclaim it and it's contents, please post quickly. If no one has spoken for it within the next week, I shall claim looter's rights upon it. http://i.imgur.com/7l0z98X.pn...

O.o looks like the vanilla version of the groth.

You can do it both ways actually. If you are trying to figure out how the machine is actually put together, it's best to build that first, as in most cases, there will be extraneous blocks and the design will usually be a tad excessive, especially if it's your first time building such a structure. H...

I can attest to what FC is saying about world restart syndrome/having your world turned to ashe. I've been playing BTW off and on for over a year now, and in that time I've lost 3 worlds due to either the file getting corrupted, me flubbing something up and losing the file, or some other thing that ...

I must say, good job. While it has always been possible, there has never been any really incentive to do so before just recently. Well aside from the "look wut I dun" feeling. That being said. While it would be interesting if this were the only way to make a portal, I feel that it is far l...

wow, the is it just me, or has the server seemed kinda dead for a while? Anyway, FC, as you know, I've got myself the makings of a small sky base above my current base. And I've been thinking about expanding it from 'sky base' to 'sky town' by offering those that wish to do so the privilege/permissi...

So, what impact would that have on snow balls? Considering their only real use is for early blaze killing. Or are we just gonna pretend they don't exist cuz they suck so bad? ;)

Long story short, I'm not going to vomit over my own keyboard in order to make the perfect weapon for thousands. Didn't that one hunger effect cause nausea too? We're getting really close to being able to make an insta-vomit feature in BTW. Lol...don't worry, I wouldn't actually do such a thing to ...

Yeah, I'll agree, if there were a way to tie hcs to co-op, that would be great. Cuz multiple times I entertained the thought of co-oping with friends and family, but either didn't or had to turn hcs off simply because having them die and get sent overyonder to never return just kinda ruins the exper...

Nop, doesn't craft into a block. Sky and I tried some stuff the other day on the official server. Lots of no go's.

-doesn't brew into anything
-doesn't spoil food in the cauldron
-doesn't tan leather

+does smelt down into into 8 gold nuggets in the crucible.

If I may, I do remember back ages ago before a lot of the newer hc updates and especially the 1.5 update that the buddy block did indeed update on grass spread/eat because I know for a fact in one of my old worlds I made a wool shearing house that worked on this principle. and if I search the forums...

Oh, it's not a problem. Just more of the shock/surprise factor, that's all. Also, gates, I would like to disagree with you on that point. I have plans for(in the distant future) expanding my skybase to make it one of the most epic structures yet. The sky's the limit, and prime real estate for that f...

Yeeaaaahhh.... you certainly gave me a huge "wut da crap" moment yesterday. XD Was sitting halfway up my lift shift clicking on the rope and I suddenly see an entwining mass of white and black pillars with some kind of runic symbol on the ground. I instantly went "wut da crap is that!...

Welp, it's monday. So I thought I'd let ya'll know that I'll just be afk'ing in the chat room/game area checking up on it periodically. If I see anyone else in there, I'll see about starting up some conversation. :)

Somebody really likes his meat effigies. I have actually only created one meat effigy to date. I tend to only die by doing stupid things that I know I shouldn't be doing, or just plain old screwing up when in combat. Mostly the former tho. Usually the random touch stone is good enough to keep me liv...

oh yes, I'm sure. I double checked my gear box before even making this assumption. And to verify, I put a block just above the lens too. Tested with a torch and light block. Both worked fine, but the RS lamp didn't. I have presently replaced my RS lamp in favor of the light block earlier today cuz t...

Second, the RS Lamp isn't playing nice with the lens. I know that prior to the 1.5 update the RS lamp worked just fine with the lens because that is how I set up my lift. But now, the rs lamp doesn't trigger the lens to create its beam.

Was playing on the official server today when I discovered two things about the rs lamp.

First, there is no efficient tool for them. Bare hands, mattock, and battle axe all take the same amount of time to break it.

EDIT: was advised to break up the original post into two threads

Hmm, I think I have mixed feelings about it honestly. I understand where you guys are coming from about the free pass, but I also feel that, considering it is supposed to be much harder than the over world, it would be unfair since you are -almost- guaranteed to die if you enter the caves. I think w...

O.o Dem caves!!! Just watched icy's vid, and I must say "WOW" you have just made spelunking a visually pleasing activity!!!

actually, mythbusters proved that you can polish dung with nothing but a little water and some elbow grease. ;)

But yeah, huzzah for epic release! May the festivities begin!

Sounds good. I think I'll also use this as an opportunity to post my times of availability. I am almost always free from 10:00 pm to 2:00 am EST (3:00 am to 7:00 am GMT) every day of the week. Starting next week, I'll be beginning online summer courses, so anything before that will be touch and go. ...
