I know twitter isn't really the best venue to discuss personal depression and other issues, especially given part of the path for Markus Persson's life to arrive at this stage is due to public criticism. But, I find myself respecting the guy for being candid. It's one of the things I've always liked...

That looks deliciously overkill, I approve :P For comparison, my vine farm has only 8 saws and I have 3-4 doublechests of vine sitting there. I'm working on a mob farm at the intersection of swamp and jungle in an attempt to process all over world hostile mobs in one grinder. Lots of vine traps nee...

You know what you need? An unnecessarily massive resource inefficient vine farm. 88 saws. 108 gear boxes. I realize after building it I should have switched the glass with the stone since you can't really see the water flows from the side. I suppose it would have a good view from the bottom...but I'...

I've found myself playing a couple hours nearly every night for a couple of weeks here. I don't get much time to play but BTW is still my go to game that I love to play while I mull over life decisions or am trying to spark creativity for a home project or even work. Something about BTW relaxes me. ...

Back to what news sources are actually used by us forum ppl, I have found I like to use twitter. I follow the major broadcasting networks and local newspapers. When an interesting or noteworthy headline pops up I searched twitter for the keywords and often can find the original reporter or reporting...

If you think it's going to be anything other than porn or games, I think you may have far too much faith in humanity ;) That's fair. It could be executed even terribly in the porn industry and it'd still be a hit... Seems to me advertisers /corporations have the $ to pay for demo models. Consumers ...

I agree, modeling purely in a 3d view like that is exceedingly difficult. And there's no way the hololens can capture the tool pallet and precise dimensional control required for finished designs through gestures alone. I think the first application is going to be advertising and demonstrating a des...

I love the hololens, but i agree that minecraft isnt its best application. 3d modeling /design is where it would excel IMO. However, how many people in the world understand and use 3d modeling vs minecraft? I bet demoing minecraft touches a broader market than 3d design and is more consumer targeted...

In case you didn't have enough overly complicated solutions yet... Egg drops on pressure plate. Sticky piston pulls pressure plate out of the way. Normal piston pushes egg into hopper. Sticky piston puts pressure plate back. Dispenser spits seeds. Profit. The redstone would be a bit involved having ...

What I've read is that the acquisition makes sense if you think of it as microsoft is buying a platform with 50 million plus users.I very much doubt their interested in updating the game as it is now. I'm banking on a minecraft 2 or expansion like spin offs and stand alones.

Can of air are awesome. Once your computer is 'aired' you'll run around the house dusting everything, they're fun! Plus the added bonus of freezing shit when you spray it upside down! Yeah sounds like overheating. I have a craptop with that problem. Mines gotten so hot the stickers melted on the bo...

I still frequent the forums although I am playing much less than I used to so I don't feel as if I have a lot to contribute therefore I don't post as much. I'm not playing because of other commitments in my life not because BTW has run its course. BTW is still my go to game even for 20 minutes when ...

I don't understand the defenders of the yogs team in this unfortunate but expected disaster. Whether the game devs approached them or vise versa doesn't matter. The yogs team promoted and put their "marketing" weight behind an ill conceived, poorly managed game with a scope large enough to...

After buggering around my base overnight, I headed off to cull my cow herd in the morning so I could finally finish my water pump tower. (glue). Upon reaching my cows, I discovered an armored zombie in my cow pen. And no cows. That very hungry zombie consumed about 40+ cows. I figured out the zombie...

Mob traps. I have an obsession with finishing a mob trap that can process every over world mob. Obviously that requires vine traps, which requires a vine farm, and a water supply. And I want it above ground to look cool so I need water pumps. And I need gold for the gearboxes which drives me to a mo...

I don't think theres really an optimal harvest time for these because mushroom growth is so random xD you could pop up 4 in a minute or 1 in 4 minutes. For each individual mushroom, you're right. But for a fixed area there is an optimal point. Let's say I have a farm with 25 'seed' mushrooms. The 2...

The concept to remember is that mushrooms won't spread if there is more than 5 mushrooms of the same type in a 9wide x 9length x 3height area of the mushroom that is spawning. So best practice is to place the seed mushrooms 4-5 spaces apart and remove newly grown mushrooms regularly. You actually d...

Yeah I'd agree that his own success has certainly changed him and very well may have caused pressure for everything he does to be as ground breaking as Minecraft. Id imagine pressure like that would really get to someone. It seems to me that notch likes to create and experiment, and once he has figu...

I was an INTJ when I was younger, but I took that test again a couple years ago and got ISTJ. I honestly for the life of me can't even remember what that means though. Are you me? Because, yeah exactly the same. Used to be intj, tested as istj more recently. I did some personality and aptitude test...

Sweet! I've done something very similar myself in the past. I've been contemplating how to do a less resource intense version by combining outputs of bds instead of using 4 individual ones for timing but that concept still lives in my head.

I've noticed the time gaps and really wondered if you still had interest in btw at all. This clears up that question and I'm glad to have one last release to end the epic saga that is btw development. I absolutely understand that ultimately you mod for yourself. You owe us nothing. I have gotten to ...

Chicken singularities are discouraged. I believe at one point Fc was talking about making them not a feasible option however idk what came of that. If someone knows help out here.

Thank you everyone for the help. It will be a while before I can try this stuff because I just died and respawned. Question, Why hold up the 2 high platform with a fence post? is it for decoration or does it serve a purpose With a fence it still allows you to hit an ender man at the corner since a ...

I'd suggest taking the link out of the op though. Many players who don't have forum accounts still view the forums for info. It at least makes it harder to find if the link isn't there.

I started a new world after the early game changes were done. I also had some changes in my rl priorities and free time. Since then, I've been playing a few hours a month to kill time here and there when I'm not otherwise preoccupied. As you can imagine, progression is very slow. But! The other day ...
