Someone posted a seed a little while back that gave a decent sized island (filled a single map nicely) with a big lake in the middle of it. I know it's a pretty vague description but I'm really keen to play it if anyone can remember it or one like it.

I look at stuff like the snowman the same way I look at other quirky and fun little useless features in any other game. How many times have you come across something like that in a game that probably took 5 minutes to put in but is cool to discover anyway? Hell, New Vegas had an entire trait devoted to them. Notch took a little downtime to add something in that is easily ignorable but would be pretty drat cool if you were exploring the game with fresh eyes and came across. There's no gameplay reason for a bunch of the new blocks he's added, either, but they're not complained about. I'd love it if he bunkered down and fixed all of the bugs, too, but it's ridiculous think he's giving up any real amount of polish or work to throw something like this in once in a while.

Macaluso posted:Okay Minecraft peeps. I built a little chicken torture device on our server, and would like to have it so when an egg flows onto a pressure plate, it'll light up a redstone torch (so I can see that an egg has been laid). The problem being that if I put down a redstone torch it's already on, and connecting it to the redstone makes it switch off when something is on the pressure plate. Help goons! Put an inverter between the pressure plate and the torch? Have the redstone go into a block, and on the opposite side mount a torch to that same block then have the redstone continue out of that and into your signal torch.

Notch posted:If you hold food in your hand, they follow you around. If you feed them, they enter "love mode". Two animals in love mode = babies. What's the bet this results in being able to feed cows steak for a while? Also, as much as I love the new big biomes, I kind of wish there was some more overlap between them again. Snow biomes are just flat, sparsely-vegitated places, so no more snowy mountains or forests etc. I get that the idea is to spread things out and force players to move around but a little variation would still be nice, especially if they're going to be as huge as they are.

Have people figured out an efficient way to deal with poison spiders/spawners yet? Because gently caress them. gently caress them gently caress them gently caress them gently caress them gently caress them. The old spawner tactic of 'clear a path, run in and torch it up' doesn't work so well when there are webs everywhere and I keep taking poison damage.

Although I'd kind of prefer the cure to be made from something that the poison spiders themselves dropped. Makes real-world sense and feeds into that idea of only getting the easy path once you've braved the problem it fixes at least once.

vektuz posted:Notch could change this to only store the chunks that have been modified, I guess. I bet if you took the average server and stored only the chunks that differ from what the seed would generate you'd probably get a ridiculous "compression" ratio out of it. Except that every block would still have to have a value that says 'not affected yet'. If there was some way to go through and only add that to a block after a certain condition as been met (and I don't think there would be, based on my limited coding experience) then you'd have to have every block in a chunk updated to include it as soon as you touched anything in it. Imagine a nice juicy lag spike every time you altered a chunk in some way for the first time. VVV Even if the chunk had a flag, which is doable, the end goal is to have a similar flag on the individual blocks though, so that Endermen wouldn't touch them. The point isn't that you can or can't test the chunk, it's that even if you could you can't then go through and add extra values to the blocks. They're either there, and off, or they'll never be there. Bat Ham fucked around with this message at Sep 28, 2011 around 06:05 |

As far as animals following you, it might just be me but they only seem to do it if I actually hold it in front of their face. They don't just 'detect' that I have food. Only tested it a little, but it's kind of cool so far if that's how it's happening.

Is the mob spawning limit per-chunk? I'm thinking if it'd be possible to make a mine safer if you fence in a shitload of animal on the surface above it.

MikeJF posted:No, but if I don't play the standard way a relatively unrelated segment of the game will be mostly off-limits for me. If you're already avoiding monsters then not only are a bunch of the benefits of the new stuff useless to you (in which case why do you care?), but by doing so you're already also losing out on their drops. String, gunpowder etc. and everything they bring are apparently already mostly off-limits to you, which doesn't bother you now, I'm guessing.

Law posted:Sorry for this really basic question. I'm trying to make something with redstone for the first time. I want a piston door that stays closed, but when a button is pressed it will open for half a second or so. The problem is it stays open when it doesn't have a redstone charge and closes when it receives one. Is there any easy way to switch this around? Put an inverter after the button, that should be all you need.

What is the right word here for a game that has been sold commercially since Alpha and is planned to be actively developed after it's "official" launch?) version I broke down and got the 1.9.3 build thingy. I have some questions: -Everything has a buttload more health. -Unless you've got a ton of them crammed into a small space singularity-style and it looks like there might be clipping issues then fence should be fine. -Animals shouldn't despawn now, though I don't know if there's a distance limit to it. It'd be pretty long if there was, though. -Yup -Endermen now teleport around if they take damage, be it from sword, water etc. Not sure if they're immune to sunlight now be if they aren't they'd just teleport somewhere safe anyway.

At one point, while scrounging for iron, one of the player mentioned that by that point Etho probably had full diamond gear and enchantments/potions.

Phobophilia posted:Something to consider, should snow biomes really be considered "harsh terrain"? All that matters on the surface are tall grass (for your initial core of seeds), wood, and food animals. There should be plenty of the latter in snow. I think the only disadvantage that snow biomes have is that the trees there don't spawn apples, which would be an issue if you were going for golden ones.

I haven't kept up with the biome and tree stuff enough to know how they spawn now.
