I've built an entranceway to my eventually large home of sorts, and I used these sticky piston doors.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=346yRSqWot8&NR=1

Is there some way with minimal absurd redstone garbage to make doors like this safe from monsters and baby ducks wandering into my home, or to 'disable' them while I'm inside by pulling a switch?

Is there such a thing as minimal insane redstone garbage?

You could hook up a lever on the inside to an AND gate that also connects to the redstone coming from the pressure plates, in between the plates and their connection to the pistons.

Here's a tutorial, where he has the 2 switches, you'd have the switch connected to one side, and all the pressure plates connected to the other. For the love of god, mute this horrible thing if you watch it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpvJ9wiywL4#t=129s

That way, with the lever in the on position, hitting the plates would open the door, with the lever in the off position, hitting the pressure plates would do nothing, as an AND gate is only on if both its inputs are on.

Sadly, it'll probably take up at lest 2x the space as the clean door you have now for routing the wires so that stray signals don't hop all over the place.

Friends, my nether portal does not work. It catches on fire when I try to spark it with flint. What am I doing wrong? My friend and I built a pretty cool mountain fortress and I was going to have that portal be in my bedroom but it doesn't work! Now it's just a really cool looking window.

You probably don't have enough clearance behind it. I tried to be a badass and carve a portal into an existing solidified lump of lava, but it wouldn't work unless I had a few blocks of empty space behind the portal section. If you've got a few blocks clearance in every direction, and still no dice, then I'm not sure what's going on.

Also, if you're on a server, you need to enable the Nether in the server preferences somewhere.

Okay, I have a major problem that I'm hoping to get help with. Yesterday I am able to play Minecraft normally. Today however, suddenly gives me the "Bad Video Card Drivers!" error right after I log in. Specifically it's telling me it can't find the accelerated OpenGL. My drivers are up to date according to my computer, and nothing's changed between yesterday and today. I can't even grab the error report because Windows automatically closes the program.

For reference, I have an HP Pavilion dv6, Windows 7 64-bit, Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4530 graphics card (the one that came with the laptop).

I'd appreciate any help I can get at this point.

c/p from the rather informative OP of the Zeppelin mod:

Zeppelin dude posted:

create the following batch file file (or put it in your start->run)

java -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -cp "%APPDATA%\.minecraft\bin\minecraft.jar;%APPDATA%\.minecraft\bin\jinput.jar;%APPDATA%\.minecraft\bin\lwjgl.jar;%APPDATA%\.minecraft\bin\lwjgl_util.jar" -Djava.library.path="%APPDATA%\.minecraft\bin\natives" net.minecraft.client.Minecraft

You should now get a command prompt with all the java messages, and minecraft should start. When it crashes, this window should have your stacktrace.

That should at least give you the error report to work with.

Profile Management: Keep different concurrent combinations of mods ready to run with a click.
Memory Management: Free up inactive RAM for Minecraft to use & disable memory-hogging OS X features.
Save File Management: Automatic backups & the option to run saves from a USB Flash drive or RAM disk to get blazing fast chunk read/write speed.

I had serious serious issues with SocketTimeoutException when I tried to play SMP over a wireless connection. Plugging in stopped that entirely. If you're using wireless, unless you've got fantastic clear-line-of-sight to your router/access point, that may be the issue.

If you're already plugged in, I remember hearing that Minecraft doesn't play nice with some network cards, but that was a while ago I think, and that's possibly been resolved...?

Anyhow, try Spectral Werewolf's suggestion if you're already wired or the switch to wired from wireless doesn't do it. That should eliminate your network card entirely, and if it solves your issues then you have something to go on.

Do you have a bunch of other stuff running? When I get to Minecrafting I quit literally everything except Firefox. Are you using the RAM-purge functionality in MaximumMinecraft? It really does free up a ton of RAM if you've been using your machine heavily beforehand (and quit out of every other app). The RAM disk option in MM shouldn't have an impact on stuttering sound, but it sure as hell gives blazing fast chunk saves & loads.

I'll definitely have to give that video card pointer a shot, I'll take any help I can get.

Also, I spawned in a town, which I walled off and enlarged and have been using zombe's teleport mod to force all the villagers from other towns into one giant thriving metropolis.

Wait wait wait, hang on, you've got villagers? I know the textures for them exist thanks to Painterly, but the only town I've found is completely empty. Running 1.9.p5 if that makes a difference?

Yeah, I've just got back into minecraft after a long hiatus so the abandoned mines are new to me too. Really loving them. I've only found one so far, but it's just mindbogglingly vast, so it'll keep me going for a while. I've built a vertical mineshaft in the cellar of my house, and the various levels of my own mine tunnels mostly end up breaking out into some section of this naturally occuring mine complex. I've been doing a methodical process of exploring a branch of the abandoned mine, until I hit a dead end, at which point I backtrack to the last junction (after mining out any valuables), and then sealing that corridor off at its entrance as I'll never need to go down there again.

Complications arise when the corridors end up connecting to each other in crazy confusing multi-level loops, which they tend to do instead of just yielding a nice dead end.

The really cool thing about this mine is that a massive ravine (with a lava river far below) cuts straight through the middle of it; it's walls looking somewhat like a slice through an ant farm, where you can see various corridors and rooms of the mine as they open abruptly to the yawning chasm. In my mine expeditions I usually end up hitting the chasm at some point and building a "Bridge of Khazad-d�m" to connect the mine corridor back up with its continuing section on the other side of the chasm.

I don't think I've ever had a more exciting, immersive, scary and rewarding experience in a game before. The fact that every part of this world is procedurally generated I think is the key here - the world could throw anything at me, and for me that's more compelling than anything that's been scripted or balanced by a designer.

I mostly just mark things off with a torch-topped cobble blocks, since there are quite a few tunnels down there that spawn slimes that I'd like to be able to go back to. Also, fence mining for when I feel like making another farm section.

Pretty annoyed at myself though, I was down in that mine to see if there was anything I'd missed and found a whole other section which was hidden behind a gravel cave-in. A ways into it and I came upon a creeper unexpectedly and got backed into a wall. I wasn't too concerned because at the range it was at I would only be maybe half-hurt, and I had a ton of food.

I neglected to notice that my armor was almost all gone.

Yeah, killed me outright, and since I was way the gently caress down in maze central, everything disappeared before I could get back. At least I only used 2 of the 4 diamonds I've found so far so I could remake my diamond sword. Everything else was pretty easily replaceable with the haul from the mine, but drat I felt dumb when I was suddenly dead and realized what happened. :saddowns:

The town itself is somehow built on a shoreline and a hillside in such a way that most of the houses are in a shallow lake, and several of the fields are broken in half and gushing water down onto the rest of them. This air of stupid is not helped in the least by the fact that their smith has been bobbing around on the opposite shore of the lake for at least 5 in-game days now. Also I had to rescue a townsman from the well.

It really does feel satisfying to fence in all the fields and turn those exploded farms into reasonable looking waterfalls though.

Villagers don't actually have anything to do with how the towns are built, they're just as procedurally generated as the hills and the lakes. You probably already know this and are just speaking fatuously.

As far as I'm aware as regards the current villager AI, I think it's mostly copied from sheep?

Yeah, I was just making fun of how stupid the AI is combined with the really really poor location of this particular town. The main road had a 10 block cliff in the middle of it and half the streets were under water.

I just found it especially funny as the first town I found was genned in 1.8, and therefor had no villagers in 1.9, and was laid out very logically and neat. Then I find an actually inhabited town and it's a cluster gently caress full of morons.

My desert area is getting lousy with cacti because the Endermen keep grabbing cactus blocks and putting them elsewhere. Kind of cool that it works like that though.
