Re: Old survival/crafting games

I played a lot of Lost in Blue. Never got around to finishing it but I remember it being a lot of fun. It had nice progression to it where you slowly explored further to advance your technology and the story. There's a Lost in Blue 3 as well.

Re: On the Feeding of Wolves

As for getting hungry, they become hungry again after producing dung, right? Also, do I have to worry about any ill effects if I don't feed them? Yeah once they poop you can feed them again. They won't die from not eating, but when hungry they'll eat anything even remotely like food which happens t...

Re: On the Feeding of Wolves

You can tell if they're injured by looking at the angle of their tail when standing. If it's slightly above sticking straight out, then they're fully healed.

Re: Came back to BTW with strategies

I bury animals ASAP just because I hate trying to lure them across long distances, and because I'm paranoid about extincting all of the animals within a reasonable distance of spawn through my own actions, or through other predators. I just hate hauling animals over multiple biomes or through compl...

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

It's probably going to be hard to add any new features that don't do the same thing as a mod because there's so many mods out there, so I'm not bothered by "copying". I wish they actually did copy TFC because then it would be good. They're just going to make an inferior version, the ore bl...

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

Making doors stackable doesn't bother me. I can't think of a good gameplay reason to limit the stack size to just 1. That's not to say there isn't one, just that I don't know what it is.

Re: Most fun I have had in a long time

In a strange bit of luck I have a pit of lava I am using for light. I recently discovered the value of lava as light when I spawned near an abandoned village. I holed up in the blacksmith's (which has a lava source) and as I was digging underneath for cobble and ore I would make a path for the lava...

Re: Mob Traps

When you kill an enderman the drops doesnt teleport away with it. When you cant find them its because they simply didnt drop any. I'm not so sure, but it was back in October when I tried it so my memory could be faulty. What I remember is if I killed them while I was protected and they couldn't hit...

but its easy to get those pearls o.O just make a two high hut thing with no sides and look at endermen each night, they cant get under the hut but you can so you can attack them from underneath the hut. I'd think getting the pearls fro mthe trap would take much longer than the few nights it takes t...

Re: Mob Traps

I find that a fall trap that supports endermen is good for collecting that first set of pearls to reach the end the first time. It's a bit annoying to go around checking all the hoppers at the landing site, but IMO it's much less painful than actually hunting endermen.

Re: Mob Traps

What jkievlan said. I've observed mobs in the wild a little bit, and they seem to pick a direction and move in a straight line for a bit (at least 8 blocks), then stop and do it again. So maybe 50% of the mobs don't fall down the first time they move and take a little longer, but I think I'm getting...

Re: Mob Traps

My first trap was a 6 level 12x12 checkerboard trap that really wasn't producing. I'd only get a few mobs during the day. Just yesterday I expanded that to be 6 level 18x18 using a plus sign pattern (spawning pads 8x8 with vines in between like a plus shape). It actually uses less vines than the 12x...

Re: EmeraldCrack co-op /white list

So who built this? I ended up on the inside because of portal linkage and had to punch my way out because of poor planning (didn't bring enough picks). Sorry for the damage, if I can ever get back there with some smooth stone I'll fix it. Not likely though since I died shortly after leaving, then fo...

Re: The beginning of iron tier

On a related note, how do you all manage to go caving and survive long enough to get an iron pick? My method is to grab a lot of dirt and very carefully close off any places where mobs can wander in when I'm not looking. Usually I make a dirt line across unexplored branches so I know that I blocked...

Re: Multiple End Dimensions Mod

Yeah I know you can delete and recreate the end, but I was trying to think of a way to make a mod to avoid doing that, so people that are using the real end aren't affected. What about just two end dimensions? When you enter the portal, if you've slain the dragon, you go to one of them. If you haven...

The dragon is dead on the server I play on, and I failed to make any meaningful contribution towards it. I don't feel I deserve to have endstone and all the goodies that come with it.
