Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

Fuck, that sucks, and I think I may have already seen an instance of it myself while wandering around my nether fort. I'll take a look at the above myself since such traps have become an important part of the mod. Stuff like this has been in minecraft for a while - The biggest size slime can also s...

Re: Help: Joining locations via nether

the biggest problem is that you have a big chance that your first portal isn't really connected with his nether part. and from that every measurement can be screwed. as you can't get the 0,0 coordinates both overworld and nether, the best thing to do is after making the first portal make more of the...

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

Re: Flower's Dev Diary (Week of Jan 28th)

a better way to make sure that mobs don't die is to use a vine and one button under it so it doesn't grow. this way monsters are slowed in their drop without taking any damage

Re: Villager reproduction mechanics?

best way is to make a breeding facility. make a plane with about 16 doors and only ONE villager on that plane. he keeps the village up. under it make a chamber 4 blocks under it, you can go further. and have 2 villagers free there. those 2 villagers will start breeding indefinitely as they try to po...

Re: Noir's Designs and Videos (Better With Renewables!)

the "bug" where the block from the sticky piston get sucked up by the BD is mostly my fault. if the turntable get's switched on another lower speed may destroy the machine. best the keep it on the faster setting and it will never bug.

Re: Noir's Designs and Videos (Witty Splash Text!)

thanks for the great builds. i use them in my world with great effect.
for the wool machine i have removed the lower part and got one block higher. doing so, you can save one redstone torch and one redstone dust :).
also in my testing i wasn't able to place more that one sheep in it.
