Since melons and pumpkins pop when pushed by pistons, I decided to knock together farms that harvest them that way; it beats the hell out of smashing a bunch of them by hand and saves tool wear. All I have to do is run around the farm and grab the dropped ones, then re-plow the plots where there were melons. As a bonus, pushing a farmland block doesn't revert it to dirt, in case you want to harvest a farm that hasn't grown 100%. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NII_T6SFT_M

So is it possible to open doors without destroying them in creative mode or is that just a result of me using a trackpad and ctrl+click as button 2? Because that's the only thing I can think of that could be causing it

The Mad Archivist posted:I am finding this myself. I could deal with my crappy tools wearing out constantly, but having myself wear out completely in between the incremental steps I take to build a base... really annoying. That said, I just think it's ridiculous there's no option to turn it off unless you turn it to peaceful (and apparently Notch's view of it was "you won't get the option, deal with it"). I don't like having to deal with that, having to stop what I'm doing to go eat or get food because my food bar is low and if it hits empty then I start dying. I'd like to play on non-peaceful, while also not having to worry about the food bar. There's still plenty I do love about the update though. Everything looks prettier for some reason, even on the default texture pack. I love rivers, and I also love that I'm practically tripping over clay no matter where I go (though it's kind of annoying all the clay I've found has been underwater). I love the huge oceans. Like, standing on the edge of a beach and looking out and not seeing anything form. Oh and swamps are wonderful.

I don't get the gripes about the hunger bar. I have spent probably 1% of my time since the update giving a poo poo about it since it barely goes down much.

Because that's the only thing I can think of that could be causing it I know right-clicking with a regular mouse will open doors/push buttons/flip switches/etc in Creative without breaking them. Dunno what to tell you with a trackpad though.

Lord Dangleberry posted:I just ate the rotten zombie meat the first night, which there is plenty of. Other than turning your food bar green, it seems to have no adverse effects. I do believe I've figured out what goes on with the zombie meat and the green hungerbar---I obviously haven't spaded it all out because I can't be bothered with that poo poo, but just by staring really hard at the thing, I believe that the green hungerbar means you got indigestion or something, and the hungerbar drains faster...which can be fixed by eating more zombie meat. It still fills you up, you just remain full for a much shorter time.

I'm recently getting the "Minecraft has run out of memory" a lot more than usual lately. Sometimes as soon as I enter into a brand new world it will say that. Java is completely up to date. I don't know what's going on.  Is there a possible fix for this?

I'm having a lot of fun in 'shipwreck.' I have 6 hearts left, 5 hunger bars left, and I have 3 seeds growing next to water. Hopefully they grow into wheat before I starve to death. In the meantime I'm staying completely still and wondering how the heck I am going to get out of this mess even if I'm able to make a loaf of bread. Edit: nthing the love for the hunger bar.

I finally got 1.8.1 going and I realized that the changing light colors make it easier to tell if an area is dark enough for mob spawns, even if you have brightness boosted.

So, after doubting my memories about the whole bedrock fog thing due to seeing some of those videos in the mc forums thread, I decided to go and apply some  to the question, as it was entirely possible that some fixes had been made since that first pre-release version.So, I fired up a new creative world, and quickly dug myself a hole down to the bottom of the bedrock layer (fun fact: in creative mode you can destroy bedrock. Including the final layer that's the last thing protecting you from a horrible death in the void. Although if you're quick enough you can double-tap space and fly back up to safety). So here's my shaft:  And here's my test chamber:   In the interests of , I dug the chamber out in two directions - one has a few skylights leading up to the surface (simple single-block columns, denoted by the gold blocks surrounding them), while the other has nothing but torches. Lots and lots of torches.As you can see, from the bottom of the shaft, everything is clear and visible. Moving into the control chamber (just torches), you can clearly see that a few steps away from the shaft, the far end of the chamber fades out of sight:  A few steps further, and the shaft itself is getting hard to see:  And finally, at the far end, you can't even see the far wall of the test chamber:  Moving into the other chamber, the nature of the mechanic seems clear - standing on a block with a clear view to the sky means no fog:  While moving away from it makes it gradually kick in, proportional to your distance from a block with a clear view of the sky:  Glass blocks installed into the skylight shafts (to prevent creeper suicide bombs from the ceiling, and other uninvited guests) had no effect on the lighting/fog, and it doesn't matter whether it's day- or night-time, as long as there's a clear view of the sky, the fog is suppressed. So yeah, looks like the solution if you want to build at bedrock level is just lots and lots of skylights. If you're on SMP, I hope you at least have friendly ops who'll flip you to creative mode long enough to deal with it... and noone building anything above you.

Is there a way to get redstone to affect switches from below the block? Like, say you have the wiring setup for a lava moat, and you want the switch next to it, on the ground, with no redstone uglying up the place?

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.

There should be an easier way to bring sunlight down to bedrock level. Notch please make it so I can put sunlight in a bucket and poor it around down there. Also craftable bottles to catch lighting in.

Read like the first 3 sections bro quote:Blocks are strongly powered by redstone power sources; torches (from below), repeaters, levers, pressure plates etc. If a block is powered only by redstone wire then it is weakly powered. Redstone wire which is adjacent to, on top of, or below a block that is strongly powered will become active. It will not become active if that block is weakly powered.

Or getting ill if you don't eat all food groups (veggies, fish, red meat) regularly. The magic word being optional. Sounds like the perfect job for the mod community. Would probably be pretty easy to accomplish as well, adding in a temperature variable to biomes based on day/night cycles and surrounding blocks, add in hearth objects and whatnot. Malnutrition and dehydration, infections and diseases that require herbologic cures (more herbs as well) Poison mushrooms, rotted meats/eggs/milk. Rabies, tougher animals that fight back if attacked ineptly. One death and save/world is deleted, much like a Roguelike Intelligent enemies that set traps for you. NPC communities that are lukewarm/hostile to outsiders from the wild and try to gyp you on trading. Yessssss, that might be really fun. Also an online cooperative mode with the same limitations and dangers where you all have to start up together and play at the same time to start the game, and again, dead = dead.
