Re: Phase 5?

Why? because in FlowerChild's world there are no strongholds, hence no stronghold libraries. That's not true actually. I've got about half a stronghold in my world :) Seriously, I have a single end portal that lays just a few chunks from the edge of old world-gen data. Here's the view from directly...

Re: Phase 5?

I'm surprised no-one's made the connection between the salt and nether sludge. And that nether sludge is supposedly a clay-like substance. And that the sludge -> clay recipe was removed pending a more fitting method. And that BTW likes using filters for things. You can't filter out salt from water ...

Re: Turntables Reversing with a Redstone Signal

It was also in Flower's video showcasing it although I think he had to take all his videos down. It is a feature allowing toggle gates to be set up. You can also do it with two redstone torches instead though.

Re: Handcrank Tweak

It can be placed on top; you simply have to place a block behind it and right click that rather than the millstone. There is no need for extra code when such a simple workaround is available.

Re: Iron Golems drop XP

I originally though snow golems would be great for enticing mobs into traps or as sentries around my base, but as they do no damage and can be killed by skeletons, they aren't very effective. Cats with their creeper repelling are much more useful.

Re: Sharing useful designs that get the job done

I'm not sure how reliable this is but, if you turn off the middle hibachi (in the 9x9 grid under a cauldron/crucible), it effectively turns the whole thing off. The cooking indicator starts to rise every few seconds if the fire is stoked (I presume due to fire spreading), but it never reaches comple...

Re: End stone solution.

While iron is now producible from mob farms, it has always been effectively infinite along with any material generated naturally in the world. End stone is limited to the one island you spawn on.

Re: Stackable Potions: Overpowered?

Personally I find combat in minecraft to be a non-issue anyway. I only die to unavoidable creeper sneak attacks or falling into lava neither of which can really be solved with health potions. The stacking however is very useful for swiftness potions.

Here's my possibilities: 1. Your spawn point. It is obviously a "magical nexus": You woke up there (Or at least, you entered the Overworld in that place), and you always return there once you die. Plus, the compass points there. (By the way, it would be quite cool if the only way to get t...

Re: Mossy Stone Brick conversion (spoilers)

I think where you have said opaque you mean non-opaque. Opaque means that light cannot pass through and as such glass, BC pipes, etc. are not opaque. But otherwise thanks for the research.

So what I'm taking from this, correct me if I'm wrong/overlooking something, is that we need to be prepared to build three new bases or at least camps.

Re: A request for help!

Redstone would be very awkward but the only other solutions I can think of would create lag or timing issues. Assuming you want the pistons to move as one, the simplest way would be to have a row of lenses triggering a detector block under each piston. This however is quite an expensive solution.

One thing I've never understood though is how one is meant to play EE by itself.
