There are way more natural underground formations where you can find exposed diamond, or better yet, diamonds in chests. I've found that I was finding more resources from just exploring ravines anyway and pretty much stopped strip mining a while back. I like having the diamond reserves in case I die with my equipment too far from being retrieved, so I hardly ever use any diamond anything and instead hoard it.

But they still decay pretty fast and you could always lose your diamond poo poo due to unfortunate accidents. I've never had a situation where I had an excess of diamonds or was using primarily diamond tools. e: eagerly waiting for you to tell me about your ten chests of diamonds and how you made houses from diamond blocks

There are way more natural underground formations where you can find exposed diamond, or better yet, diamonds in chests. Yeah, strip mining is a waste of time in my opinion. I'm sitting on like 20 something diamond right now, with the rest of my friends on the server having a pretty good amount of diamond as well. It's better to go to ravines/mineshafts/cave networks and stumbled upon it. Plus that way, you don't waste all your mining picks. And the caves are a lot more connected and go on forever which is awesome. I also only use diamonds for swords and mining picks. Those things last FOREVER. They do not decay fast at all. Axes and Shovels you should not be using diamond for, that's a waste.

There are way more natural underground formations where you can find exposed diamond, or better yet, diamonds in chests. I just found 10 diamonds (two five diamond veins like ten blocks from each other) while strip mining.  Not all naturally formed caverns go to the depths where you're most likely to find the compressed lumps of coals, so I think strip mining still serves a purpose when you really are in a need of a means to collect obsidian. (And also have uses for tons of rock.)

Taffer posted:Stop strip mining, you'll just use up your diamonds almost as fast as you can find them. This isn't true unless you're astronomically unlucky, FYI. One diamond pick is enough to mine out an entire set of diamond tools with uses to spare as long as you're using an efficient pattern. I've never had enough diamonds to use diamond blocks in architecture or anything, but I can't remember the last time I had to revert to stone tools in my old 1.7 save, even for shovels.

Macaluso posted:Shovels you should not be using diamond for, that's a waste. Diamond shovels are actually the best way to find iron as they can clear blocks from cave walls faster than diamond pickaxes can and they can remove thrice as many blocks per diamond consumed. At the depth where diamonds are, there may not be enough dirt and gravel for this to make tons of sense, but over the range where iron appears you can find iron at the rate of about one per minute if you race through caves scouring out all of the dirt and gravel you see (or you used to anyway, I haven't done intensive iron mining since pistons were added).

Getting a bizarre issue - have a multiplayer server world and when you enter the area where we've all been building stuff, slowdown gets insane. Giant FPS spikes, server message saying it can't keep up, etc. It's unplayable in that area (other parts of the world run just fine) Loaded that same map into singleplayer and the same thing happened. Anybody have any idea what can be done?

It's what I use on my little server. Really nice maps, dynamic updates so you can watch people build stuff, web to game chat, realtime lighting (so it's night when the server is night and day when the server is day), weather, the works. All on an internal web server (or it'll dump stuff somewhere else for you) It's awesome. Best thing ever for Bukkit servers.

You could always see if you could move the spawn with MCedit and see if that alleviates the problem but it might be a long shot. *edit. Sounds like your map may have been corrupted. This happens to me when there's a power outage or the computer is shut off without the server being shut down. Akito12345 fucked around with this message at 23:30 on Sep 24, 2011 |

Found a nice map with lots of water, and small islands. Seed is : 1525855357 Spawn is on the small island that I built a tower on, but there's a larger island with a bay shaped like a natural harbour nearby. I think I can be happy building here!

Greetings, Junior Girls. I've been seed hunting the last two days. Here's my poo poo: Seed: 7619013540131867193 Only works in 1.9  7619013540131867193 Spawn on the very top of huge mountain. This huge mountain takes up the entire island. Huge mountain has two giant mountain-hollowing caves in it that look like this: http://i.imgur.com/LaxUF.jpg http://i.imgur.com/aw52o.jpg -------------------------------------- Seed: -8422771861082512757 works in both 1.8 and 1.9!  By far the largest I've seen in 1.8/1.9, with the effect made more dramatic by its height over the ground, and a large mountain near it. Part of an excessively large mountain range. Spawn is at 20,232; floating island is at -50, 640. Bignose Village in desert at -430,780 Map: http://i.imgur.com/8oBXo.jpg

Those look wonderful. I have been on a bit of a gaming hiatus with the loss of internet, but now I'm back and reconnected and I just updated my minecraft. I haven't played since sometime around January, and even though I read the release notes and various other things I am still a bit overwhelmed with the new features. Would anyone be willing to give me a breakdown of major updates or anything that changes the flow of the game? I saw that there was a now a hunger bar, and that you can level up etc. And that there is now a dye system in place. Also various changes to the landscape and new creatures and block types. Anything else I have missed? Thanks in advance, I hated being out of the development loop for so long, considering I have been a part of since it was only a sandbox mode.

UnCO3 posted:New biomes: swamp (trees growing in water, much darker grass, leaves and water, lily pads, vines growing on trees, lots of clay and mushrooms), mountain (few trees, very tall), mushroom land (giant multi-block mushrooms, mycelium instead of grass, mooshroom mobs), ocean (massive, deep oceans with scattered islands), river (winding, moderately-deep bodies of water), ravine (not technically a biome, basically a canyon or crevice cut out of the ground during world creation) Finally, the hitbox for fences will be fixed, and they will attach to whole blocks, like glass panes. http://twitter.com/#!/jeb_/status/117688347803136000

Teaches of Peaches posted:Those look wonderful. Some big ones, off the top of my head: Wolves: Neutral mobs that spawn in forest or taiga biomes. Feed one a bunch of bones and it will be your friend. Friendly wolves will follow you around and fight anything that you attack (except Creepers), or that attacks you. Their pathing (like everything else) is very  , often causing them to fall off cliffs or into lava.Beds: Craft with three wool on top of three wooden planks. Sleeping in a (safe) bed fastforwards to sunrise and sets your spawn point in that location. Note that beds directly adjacent to an external wall may not be safe. Maps: Craft with eight paper around a compass. Maps are centered on the location where you crafted them and are initially blank, but will get filled in as you explore with the map out. Pistons: They push and pull things, and are activated by redstone. Somewhat complex, so you should probably consult the wiki. Endermen: Neutral mobs that become hostile when you focus your crosshairs on them. As soon as you look away, they quickly run/teleport to you and deal massive damage. Also, they move random blocks around. Map Features: -Villages are currently abandoned (but have weird, useless NPCs in the 1.9 pre-release) and if you find one early on, they are a convenient lootable source of wood and wheat. -Abandoned mineshafts are confusing mazes of wooden arches and minecart tracks, but they have occasional chests filled with stuff like iron, redstone, and the new melon seeds. They also contain poison spiders which are basically the poison headcrabs from HL2. -Strongholds are limited to three per world, within a certain radius of your spawn. I can't say much else because I've never found one myself. -Underground ravines are long, deep, narrow chasms that go almost to the bedrock layer. Some of them reach the surface, others have to be found through caves or digging. Usually they contain lava. Hunger: Food no longer heals you. Instead, it fills a hunger meter which depletes mostly through movement. When your hunger meter is at 9 or 10, you slowly regenerate health. When your food meter is empty, you slowly lose health until it reaches 5 (Easy), 0.5 (Normal), or death (Hard). It sounds annoying, but it's fairly trivial to stay on top of, especially with all the new food sources and having food that stacks. More stuff here.
