Re: 4.65 Spoiler Discussion

I stuffed my herd in an abandoned village house, one of the L-shaped ones, cut out the wood floor, and cut one blocks holes in the walls every other block so grass could spread in.

Re: Flower's Dev Diary (Week Of March 18th)

Just curious, does that checking of every side occur only on chunk load or every frame? I've never delved into the details, but my understanding is that it happens every time a block is added to the display list. So yes, that would be on chunk load or every time a block is updated and thus requires...

Man, its a shame you can't just *not* update for a while. I mean I'd be ok with it. ;)

Sorry you have to suffer through it. I hope it doesn't take long so you can get back to the stuff you enjoy.

Re: 4.65 Spoiler Discussion

I had a good laugh at this. Apparently zombies will aggro on bats as well. I found two scrolls down in a cave and a zombie holding a third. Zombie exterminators. Nice! Wait, three scrolls? Aren't they super rare? Now, I wonder if mobs killing each other increases the drop rate. Which just gave me a...

Re: Witch Farms

In my experience with a manual farm they spawn quickly enough. During the day, I would walk away, wait a few minutes, come back, and there'd be one to three witches spawned. Obviously lighting everything would improve it but making a farm without it is certainly viable. I, personally, only use their...

But I guess he didn't like any of those options because they were "cowardly", and feels deep down that as the player he should be able to kill anything he pleases at any time. If my changes are causing people to actually have to think about how they're going to deal with certain monsters ...

Re: 4.64 Balance Observations & Discussion

When someone uses "OP", it tells me something: That they say overpowered so often that they feel the need to use an acronym to save themselves time. Thus, they use it lightly. If a monster is too tough for you to deal with at your current stage of development (like when you admit to beati...

Re: 4.64 Balance Observations & Discussion

Actually, I think poison spiders are ridiculously op now. Before the changes they were manageable. I ran into a spawner a couple days ago and got to it after a couple spiders spawned. I got hit once and the poison dropped me down to either hurt or dying (not sure). So, I made fences and killed the ...

Re: 4.64 Balance Observations & Discussion

My first non-abandoned village I found had carrots. Thus, my staple food atm is kebabs. So, that's a nice bonus I didn't see before- using kebabs. Before, I had no reason to, but now, I'm really glad they're there! Good stuff. Yeah, that was my intent with kebabs and steak and potatoes: one for peo...

Re: 4.64 Balance Observations & Discussion

After someone mentioned they used it to exploit the cauldron (and ran of coal AND torches somehow) I tried using the flint and steel while I dug down for coal. I gotta say, its pretty op. Its extremely cheap, has a lot of durability, and the fire lasts quite a while. I ended up hitting bedrock and b...

Re: 'Timber! Compatibility

Yeah, I know it jacks up the balance. I've never made a tree farm because of it. I'm seriously going to miss felling a ginormous jungle tree with a couple swings, though. I'll get over it. Thanks for the quick reply as usual.

Re: 4.64 Balance Observations & Discussion

So far, which is part of what I hoped would happen, I am finding that what this does is make descending into the depths something you have to work towards. , but yes, of course like with the other changes I've made, a play style adjustment is in order. You can't just mine straight down to bedrock l...

Still testing. I'm having trouble swallowing this but I trust your judgment so I'll keep testing before I actually post something really meaningful.

So, I finally got around to it and suicided so I could see how long it took me to get a compass. Results: not that long. I dug a staircase down to bedrock, dug a couple strips approx 30 blocks each and I had enough iron to make a pick, get my redstone, and make a compass. So, I'd say its pretty clos...
