Re: Arcane Scroll Lore

I assume all of this is for the server (PK's) and the creation of lore associated with the new communities therein. I'll give this lore thing a try: Arcane Scrolls are Steve's research notes about the monsters they come from. Are Arcane Scrolls written in the same language as Ancient Manuscripts? I ...

Re: Boats in normal biomes

Of all the things affected by Large Biomes, amount of coastline and ocean size are probably the least affected, so Default and Large Biomes share these oceanic features. A little known fact is that Minecraft generates terrain in the form of "continents" which, in both Default and Large Bio...

Re: Next generation consoles.

The lack of tactile feedback is the main reason I detest touchscreens as an interface medium. I can't even stand to type on a tablet unless I really have to do so.

Re: Reference for Buddy Block Use

A strange thing that keeps happening--and I don't know whether this is a bug or a known quirk--is that almost always the buddy block will trigger for no reason at all a few minutes after being placed. It seems only to happen when I am near by, however, and can be quite annoying with false alarms wh...

Re: Flower's Dev Diary (Week of April 29th)

Unless you're saying that snowballs no longer damage blazes at all, losing the knockback actually makes them more effective since you don't have to worry about pushing the blaze out over ledges where they drop your precious rod in a sea of lava anymore. True, but you forget that knockback also crea...

well, the idea was that you could use a vanilla BUD switch to detect it, but obviously that idea is shot. I know the idea used to work but was extremely unreliable unless you had about 15 cisterns (its a random event) Now it makes more sense. Ah well, it was a good idea, but, nope, any state change...

The rising water level would be detected by a buddy, which applies directly to this thread. Will test. I know emptying ...

I've found them pretty useful early game to knock skeletons out from under trees during the day. I may be wrong, but I do not believe that that will work anymore due to hardcore fist, since knockback is now linked to damage... very creative idea though.

Interesting... buddy blocks do not respond when an adjacent buddy block is destroyed (they respond when one is placed or any other block type destroyed). I assume this is intended.
